The Only Thing "Justified" Here Is Justin's Current Lack Of Authenticity! 2 stars!.......2006-10-05
"Justified", the multi-platinum debut album from singer / songwriter / ex-N'Sync member Justin Timberlake, justifies (pun intended) my discontent for his music and my disliking towards his superficial personality. Ok, so he does have a strong voice and a very sweet falsetto, but this album is generally nothing more than mass-marketed Teen Pop masquerading as an artistic landmark. Succumbing to lusty urges & deliberately destroying the career of one of the most influential singers in music history (Janet Jackson) for the sake of one's own viewing pleasure is bad enough, but fooling millions into believing that "Justified" is a great album when it's generally anything but, sickens me.
Alright, so there are a few gems that can be found on this disappointing debut. Lusty, candy-coated Dance-Pop gems like "Like I Love You (feat. The Clipse)" & "Rock Your Body" -the latter one which features some surprisingly nice beat-boxing skills from Justin Timberlake- are way too infectious for the typical club-goer to deny, especially when it's The Neptunes who are providing the club-ready, minimalist beats & grooves (in fact, the legendary production duo are responsible for most of the album's production). "Senorita" is a slightly upbeat, charming ode of love to the sexy ladies over some Latin-tinged production & piano keys. "Cry Me A River", by far the album's best track, is a powerful ballad where Justin's emotional vocals sound both heartbroken and mercilessly angry at the same time over Timbaland's stellar production.
Unfortunately, there's nothing else that's nearly as infectious or as emotionally convictional as the 4 aforementioned tracks (which just happened to be this album's singles). Justin carelessly croons, coos and whispers his lyrical web of cheesy metaphors and unconvincing lies to a female audience dumb enough to believe it all on the reeking-of-bulls*** ballad "Take It From Here". One of Timbaland's weakest beats are unwelcomely put to use on the lacklustre "Oh No (What You Got)", a lazy, failed attempt at flirting with an anonymous female in a club that must've been very low in energy, if not numbers. Then there's the infectious beats that are wasted when Justin's lusty desires churn out more corny come-ons on "Take Me Now" & "Right For Me". The ballads don't receive much blessing either, especially on the whiney reminiscence of "Still On My Brain" & "Last Night" (even though the latter track had a nice, bouncy beat that was put to waste).
What I hate most about this album is not the cheap filler tracks, but the fact that it's Justin Timberlake not bothering to fully make use of his oft-lacklustre resources. Whether it's his rotten relationship with Britney Spears, his former affiliation with chest Teen Pop phenomenon N'Sync and his obvious musical influence from Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake leaves no stamp of authenticity or ownership over his music, which is ultimately what lets this album down. Honestly, almost anyone can sing this ice-cold pile of trash. There's very little sense of ambition to pull much of this material very far. Only buy this if...
1. You're too ignorant to acknowledge anything I've said
2. You need proof that Justin Timberlake lacks enough of an identity to establish himself as a serious artist
3. You want too annoy your friends (ESPECIALLY if those friends are fans of Hip-Hop)
Otherwise, just buy the singles & try your luck with "FutureSex/LoveSounds", his no.1 sophomore effort. 2 stars!
Funky album!.......2006-09-29
Justified is a funky album. It has a good beat and you can dance to it!!!
