Jun 12, 2011Absolutely not my style at first but this album is flawless. Justin Timberlake proves he's one of the best nowadays. I literally can't wait for the next album, it's gonna be hot.
-
Feb 9, 2015At 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.
-
BBSep 12, 2006There are only 4 stand out tracks. I was expecting something a little more "futuristic". SexyBack set an expectation that wasn't fufilled.

TimLFeb 3, 2007Honestly, one of the better albums of 2006. It has a fresh new sound, it doesn't sound like the same chewed up the industry seems to force feed us. Great production value as well. Anyone saying this album is horrible, is simply jealous because they either can't have Justin, or can't be him. Thats what happens when people let their biases through.

SmackDaddyOct 9, 2006Timberlake needs to leave Prince alone. Timbo...wow he's really fallin off. This isn't real music...its contrived, board room created, white boy with no style, photocopied, soulless 'music.' Andre 3000 is the closest thing we've had to what JT is trying to do...go on white boy...go on.

S.J.DonovanOct 10, 2006Justin, the best thing you could do for pop is to die.
-

SophiePNov 9, 2006I was very disappointed by this album. Justin's voice seems very weak, and the album is overproduced by Timbaland. It's not anything really catchy or memorable about this album.

KyleSApr 2, 2007Absolutely wretched!!!! All I have in my head is that annoying "Yeah" every 5 seconds in Sexy Back.

VeronicaVDec 18, 2006What a piece of crap! How did this awful album get nominated for "album of the year" over bob Dylan's Modern Times???
-
-
JohnHOct 5, 2006Sure "Sexy Back" is cathcy and danceable, but did anyone else notice the arrays of bad beats and loops samples from the majority of other songs, many taken off of Fruity Loops...? Blame Timbaland or whoever did the electronic parts of the album for poor quality samples and cheap and easy loops...
-
-
RafaelPSep 12, 2006Timberlake can not sing... Props to Timbaland...

williamoSep 13, 2006this is a cheap r'n'b album! ....really really bad....

MattD.Sep 14, 2006There is nothing sexy about this album. Come-ons sound even worse next to bad funk and drippy ballads.

lisapSep 15, 2006Totally sucks rocks!! Nothing new here that I didn't hear the same of on the prior album, Justified. Just more sound effects!! Disappointing...
-
-
SabrinaT.Sep 21, 2006One of the worst albums of the year. I'm so disappointed in Justin this time. What was he thinking with this album? The beats are repetitive and boring. His voice doesn't sound as good as it did on Justified. Maybe the next album will be better.
-
-
ToddWSep 21, 2006I saw this no-talent the other night on an awards show (which is ironic in and of itself) and he was performing the "hit" (another ironic turn of phrase) from this dreck. It's comforting to know that 10-year-old girls are singing along to a song that advocates beating up women in the bedroom. It makes me wish even harder for a Social Apocalypse.
-
-
jessicamFeb 13, 2007We were told this was going to be the Thriller of 2006. What a dissappointment! Rather than come up with his own identity, JT moves on from ripping MJ off to ripping Prince off. This is an example of another cocky ex-boyband poser trying to convince the audience he is a sexy badass. A couple of decent tracks but JT comes off as fake and not sexy.
-
-
JustinTimberlakeSep 15, 2006The Bomb.. Thats all I have to say about this masterpiece..I put alot of work into this album I hope you all equallly enjoy it.

Sep 4, 2020Una apabullante obra maestra del indiscutible PrÃncipe del Pop, o quizás del R&B, cada canción es grandiosa de principio a fin y aún en pleno 2020 envejece como un buen vino tinto.

aL.ckSep 13, 2006I think it really deserved an 8.
-
-
ShandaSSep 30, 2006I am only giving it a 9 b.c his next album needs space to grow for the ten SPOT! This album rocks. Period If you don't agree you're just a hater... and that's okay. Denial is the first step.

[Anonymous]Sep 11, 2006Some obvious chart toppers here including: Sexyback, My Love, What Goes Around and Losing My Way. But not as well rounded as Justified. Some lengthly fillers and interludes. Overall a decent follow up, could of been better.
-
-
ElizabethSJan 6, 2007I think it's one of the best albums of 2006!!Especially on production level...!!!
-

KellyCApr 30, 2007I LOVE JT! he's got it all. he's and amazing singer and soooo FIT! and his new album is just bare sex! summer love, what goes around and my love are the best tracks!!! xxxx

ellencOct 1, 2006Fs/ls is The best cd put out in a long, long time. Justin Timberlake along with Timberland has given us a reason to listen to music again. Its fun, sexy and makes you want to move along with the music. The cd is addictive. Jt is a talented musician, who has given us a new sound and an exciting listening experience with his new cd FS/LS.

RaniOct 14, 2006He's one of the mnay singers out there that can REALLY come up with AWESOME, ORGINALLY music!! that's easy listening, hot, and VERY SEXY!! I LOEV IT

KellyanneWOct 19, 2006I was one of the few people who was disappointed with his debut album...but this album has a different sound and shows his true talent. I enjoyed the beat and his vocal range.

RoeOct 21, 2006It's okay. . I like it better than Justified anyway, i can sort of see what the hype was about now

MarinaLOct 3, 2006his cd is absolutely amazing. It starts out very provacative has a lot of dancing songs and what not, and every now and then has a sensual love song every now and then. JT has completely outdone himself his cd is wayy better than his last one. Im so pround of him. and timbb did such a good job. amazing..outstanding

MarcieSep 11, 2006It hooks you and grabs you and pulls you through to the end. It's a new sounds for JT and while people like to focus on Timbaland's influence, they don't realize that he and Tim are equals on this album. JT is the genuine thing and with this as the successor to Justified, I'm excited to see where he leads us next. Excellent sophomore entry!

GinnyWSep 10, 2006I am very impressed with the musical growth Justin has shown on his new album. I love all his songs but my favorites are probably Love Stoned and What Goes Around. Justin co-wrote every single song and co-produced all but one. It's an amazing album.
-
-
NameWitheldSep 10, 2006Easily the best pop album of the year. If Rolling Stone dubs him the new King of Pop, I have to respectively agree. This album is brilliant, especially for a "former boybander". He has a long career ahead of him.
-
-
JonGSep 15, 2006Absolutely amazing! Great for laughing, dancing, crying, singing, and lovemaking!
-
-
JeffASep 15, 2006While the previous release from JT was a suprisingly fresh compilation of catching songs, this release is very disappointing with most of the tracks sub-par and only a few truly catchy songs. Very average.
-
-
FMSep 20, 2006This album is hot. I liked it the first time around and I am still playing it out. No doubt Timberlake is on his way to becoming the leader of the pack. Move over BEYONCE!

KyleBOct 1, 2006Style and flare pieced together with some of the best beats this decade.
-
-
SeamusSNov 27, 2006To make things short: Though not as full as Justified, just as infectious and maybe, just maybe, too ambitious. At times, the blackcent gets old. Fortunatley, that happens less than the alternative.

colleenjOct 13, 2006Timbaland and Timberlake have out done themselves. Every song on the album could be a single. i loved it!!! i would recommend it to anyone.

-
-
JasonSOct 17, 2006The first half of this album is brilliant. The second half is terrible. At forty minutes this album could have been a "10." But JT's need to fill the disc means we have to endure the cloying banality of songs like "Losing My Way."
-
-
TarynNOct 25, 2006I struggled to listen to this album at first, but after my second listen, just as with Justified, I started to love it. Its sexy and smooth, with great beats.
-
-
ChrystalJOct 29, 2006Just like some of the other users rating this album I didn't like some of the songs at first. The second time around, let's just say that it is now one of my favorites. Great beats and lyrics. I would recommend this album to everyone.
-
-
TinaDOct 8, 2006Justin really surprised me with his sophomore CD. I didn't think he could top Justified but he did it with FutureSex/Lovesounds. This CD is by far one the best albums of the year. Timberlake and Timbaland are a great combo and alsoI love the Rick Rubin track Another Song/All Over Again.
-
-
HelenaBSep 11, 2006Very different to Justified but VERY good. Definately recommend it!
-
-
ZakiyaASep 11, 2006This is a brilliant album. From a start to finish - Justin has surpassed himself. He has matured as an artist, as well as a producer and fused various different sounds to create, by far, the best album of 2006.
-
-
MelanieHSep 11, 2006Great album.
-
-
JesseMSep 11, 2006This whole CD is musically perfect. Timbaland kills the production, not liking this album, is just having to try to hard. Quite possibly in a few words the album of the year for 2006.

-
-
MihaiVSep 13, 2006As an indie fan I can tell you: this is stunning. The reason I'm giving this 8 is becouse I'm not really sure what Justin's contribution is. Otherwise it's a 9. Why not 10? Hey, I only give 10 to Radiohead or Interpol.

maliksApr 16, 2007I think justin and timbaland's way of thinking out of the box has paid of in a pretty large way, JT is jetset to lead the popworld as we know it today, this guy's got it all; the talent, the looks and the style to go with it. I can't call out any artist right now who can match the style and versitality justin has put in this album, this album is music worth paying for.

MuriahVDec 6, 2006When music makes you this happy and feel this good you can't say too much more than that. As Justin said "you take things from the artists you love and make it your own." That he has done! Thoes who say "he sucks" really just want to be in his shoes. "No way" you say! Yah right, you only wish you had this kind of talent. JT is JT! Up there all by himself.

-
-
JeffBSep 13, 2006Very good album. A lot of great songs that are sure to be future radio hits. It starts off very strong with the first 4 songs. A few duds in the middle, but overall I would say that 80 to 90% is excellent. I'm not sure which album I like better... but I think I am going with this one.
-
-
JamesW.Sep 13, 2006I'm giving this album a zero because it's over-produced, badly song and bad written garbage. Two songs are decent on the whole album. The rest I can do without.
-
-
TylerTSep 13, 2006I hate boy bands and everything surrounding them. That being said, this is a great album! JT kills the rest of this solo garbage that somehow makes it on the radio/tv "My Love" must be witnessed!
-
Awards & Rankings
-
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.
