    Too much of Man of the Woods is musically and thematically shallow; at 66 minutes, it’s a mile wide and an inch deep.

    “Haters gonna say it's fake,” Timberlake frankly asserts on, 'Filthy'. They needn't even bother. Genuine or not, it simply doesn't work.

    A handful of decent songs do not a classic album make, much less a good one. While Timberlake can't be faulted for wanting to try something genuinely new this far into his career, the laziness of the productions and overall misguided lyrics make for an awkward fit. ... Timberlake's worst album to date.

    The album revisits the best of the past of the song. Timberlake manages to unite element of its roots with current sons and this is Fantastic.
