Justin Timberlake, Future Sex / Love Sounds Review

Overall Rating

I absolutely love love LOVE this new album! The only thing I didn't like was the additional intro to "My Love" which doesn't add anything to the song and is far too long. Also the transition between the extra intro and the song is jarring. Having said that, I'm getting used to it and actually danced to said intro today! Otherwise, I am sold on every single song. Often it takes me a few listens to get into an album but I enjoyed this one right through first time around. I was a little disappointed with Justified as I bought it hoping for high energy songs like "Rock Your Body" and "Like I Love You" and discovered more gooey ballads than I have a taste for. "Future Sex/Love Sounds" on the other hand has delivered on the expectations created by the oh so sexy "Sexy Back". Justin and his producers seem to me to be unafraid to use any musical technique at their disposal and the result is attention-grabbing without being gimicky. I am now a fully-fledged JT fan!
