    Injustamente infravalorado, todo lo que JT hace es simplemente espectacular, a simple vista sigue la misma línea de The 20/20 Experience, pero ahora el sonido es mas desenfadado y fresco. Como dije antes, un trabajo muy menospreciado, lamentablemente no se le da la atención merecida y les dan excesiva pantalla a artistas sin estilo ni personalidad como los inflados de Bruno Mars y The Weeknd.

    It's a non commercial album but with great cohesion and some pretty good underrated songs, deserved so much better. Say Something, Higher higher, morning light and montana are amazing

    A very good album though timberlake says that its his most personal album, he just made it for his wife and son, its prettily shown in Young Man, but he didnt actually go out from the form, so at least 7 songs deserve your attention if you see this album.

    With the same album, the album aims. Justin T has been able to reunite his races past and present and this is incredible!

    This not my favorite Justin Timberlake album but I still really enjoyed listening to this album. I especially loved the songs Say Something, Filthy, Man of the Woods, and Supplies.

    Its an album with its highs and its lows. Man of the woods combines pop music with country elements and the result is interesting fro Mr.Timberlake. "Say Something" is a standout track from the album but my favorite is definitely "Higher , Higher " . "Filthy" is actually one of his worst songs ever and I dont understand why it was released as the first single from the album . Even the songIts an album with its highs and its lows.

    Este es el mejor disco de JT hasta ahora. Justin se desenmarcó del sonido y vestuario característico de la era 20/20 para aparecer con un sonido más auténtico, más personal y menos comercial. Nos podemos dar cuenta que es un artista verdadero al percatarnos que trata de ir más allá, que entrega nuevos sonidos, que evoluciona finalmente.

    Compared to Timberlake's previous work, not as goodm but still a good album that is worth listening to. It took a while for this album to grow on me, but my favourite songs are 'Filthy' and 'Say Something'

    This album is pure fire. He managed to bring all the elements that characterize his roots into his own musical world getting to create something unique.

    Pra quem acompanha o Timberlake a muito tempo sente uma sonoridade diferente no MOTW mas não muda o fato de ser um bom álbum. O álbum não é tão incrível como os anteriores mas músicas como Filthy, Say Something, Morning Light e Man of The Woods fazem o álbum ter uma boa qualidade sim, ao contrário do que muitos estão dizendo.

    Amazing album. I don’t really care about his commercial success because he serves quality over quantity and non of this people and “critics” is honest just blinded by hate and trends... people are ready do everything for clicks.

I don’t really care about his commercial success because he serves quality over quantity and non of this people and “critics” is honest just blinded by hate and trends... people are ready do everything for clicks. Album is full of jams. Very personal. Full of fun. Flannel is his Mirrors 2.0. All this BlackTwitter and Janet’s deluded mean fans became brave behind their screens because they can. Music speaks for itself and does it very well. It is mix of pop, country, rnb and still Justin’s amazing style he build for this 22 years. This long in show business and still pulls 300-350k plus amazing SBHT coming will give him more boost. Really recommend this album to everyone who likes Justin’s previous works but this time with a twist. He is not for fame and commercial success anymore and he proves it on this album. He has nothing to prove after 22 years. He is happy singer, artist, actor, husband and father! Jessica and Silas both of them are part of this powerful and full of happiness project for his family and faithful fans of his music. He is not faking nor pretending that what makes this album even valuable to anyone who respects his work and doesn’t remember this Janet's incident. She has move on but her fans and BlackTwitter only remember this and punishing him for her own mistake of her try hard way to overshade Madonna’s and Britney’s scandalous kiss at VMA 2003. Didn’t work out. But easier is to blame young guy who started his career just after he left his boy band. Janet should go to TV and apologies and at least explain what really happened there not hiding! She is guilty of her own moves and people need to understand. Justin never wanted do anything against her. This show was only her own choice and decision. Justin even apologised for this at least once and he is alright with it. His music is better than ever. Man of the Woods with a twist. Extremely well produced. He is proud of it. I am proud of it. I’m glad is out! Again, ahead of its time!… Expand

    Justin has always marched to the beat of his own drum musically and the results are always better for it. Once again, going against the radio grain. He's in top form on this record. Fusing styles with ease. Classic JT but with more experimental sounds. The blend of slippery grooves and earthy Americana works much better than it ever should.

He's in top form on this record. Fusing styles with ease. Classic JT but with more experimental sounds. The blend of slippery grooves and earthy Americana works much better than it ever should. Midnight Summer Jam probably does this the most effectively, when the harmonica kicks in. He actually delivers 2 albums by using the duets with Alicia Keys & Chris Stapleton to separate the groovy and rustic moods on the album but magically blend them seamlessly. There's also a beautifully haunting presence of Jessica Biel throughout this record, which by Track 16, is more telling about the effect marriage and fatherhood has had on Justin's personal growth than any single love song could convey.
    Many diverse highlights, Supplies, Midnight Summer Jam, Sauce, Morning Light, Say Something, Higher Higher, Flannel, The Hard Stuff, Wave.    … Expand

    fantastic album, no idea why critics don't like it. Breeze, Midnight Summer Jam, Montana, Higher Higher are some of his best songs.

    Although he’s not really mixing musical genres as originally promised, he’s mixing up some music and lyrics that shouldn’t really go together, which makes this one crazy peanut butter cup of an album.

    Man of the Woods is not an outright disaster but it is a significant disappointment--a record too preoccupied with image, volte face and forced “REAL” to fully engage as a coherent piece of craftsmanship.

    Throughout, Man Of The Woods seesaws brilliantly between pop and country. [Apr 2018, p.116]
