    He's Back and he's sexy and this album defantley lets you know. Though i think itsw a bit over-rated it is defantley a triumph and a push in the right direction showing how comfortable he is in not only pop music but also r&b hip hop and dance

    first and foremost, I appreciated FS/LS simply because JT didn't rush to capitalize on Justified. Rather than churning out a succession of 2 single/ filler recoerds, he took time on his second solo effort. That said, I knew FS/LS would be a serious change of pace for him. Yes it took a few listens to really get my brain around it, but this is a solid record.

Yes it took a few listens to really get my brain around it, but this is a solid record. Considering that pop radio is saturated with the likes of Paris HIlton and F'ing Brooke Hogan, FS/LS shows that you don't have to reinvent the wheel to make good pop music. "Lovestoned" is positively hypnotic, with its thumping bass line coupled with Justin's voice at its most mature. Honestly, I could do without the Three Six Mafia appearance (everything they do is the same) but Rick Rubin's production on "(Another Song) All Over Again" signifies what I hope is the beginning of many more collaborations.… Expand

    Very good album. Great production, lots of potential hits and good Timberlake's vocal. One disadvantage is the fact that without Timberland

    At this point this album is considered a pop classic that brought a new sound to music industry. It's always a pleasure coming back to this album and it never gets boring. It has so many gems it's hard to pick a favorite. Created in 2006 but still sounds fresh and amazing. Ahead of its time.

    It's a lot like Justified in that it's a solid collection of expertly produced pop songs whose flaws will be devoured by its almost guaranteed string of hits.

    The enjoyable, forgettable FutureSex/LoveSounds may be a just-okay Timberlake album, but it's a great Timbaland demo reel.

    By its closer... FutureSex/LoveSounds feels like an entirely different and far less interesting album than the one you started listening to.
