Amazon.co.uk Review
Common wisdom dictates that a debut album be given an autobiographical slant, so it's hard not to believe that IJustified/I, Justin Timberlake's first non-*N Sync outing, doesn't purloin much of its subject matter from the singer's break-up with Britney Spears. Half of the songs are about the abrupt severing of a romance and the singer's rather hardhearted stance. Sure he may have been the wronged party, but that doesn't excuse the inflexible emotional posture revealed in "Cry Me a River", "Never Again", and the sniping "Last Night". He also appears to feel warranted in partaking in the salubrious joys of a swinging single life then boasting about it, since many of the songs seem to be almost gratuitously lascivious. Lines such as "I could think of a couple positions for you" from "Right for Me", and "Better have you naked by the end of this song" from "Rock Your Body" will catapult Timberlake right off Radio Disney. But Timberlake shines when he moonwalks into more adult terrain, turning his back on the innocent dance-pop that put *N Sync in the charts. With the help of hip-hop producers the Neptunes, Timbaland and P Diddy, Timberlake has turned out a remarkably cohesive and sophisticated slice of radio-friendly RB. I--Jaan Uhelszki/I

 Justin, you da MAN! November 4, 2002
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
Now I'm more an RB/Hip-Hop kinda girl, but for the last week Trevor Nelson has been waxing lyrical about this album so I decided to buy it and OH MY GOD, it is fantastic! Believe me, all the hype is true. brThere are 14 songs on "Justified" and I liked pretty much all of them.brThe first track, Senorita, is really good. Produced by the Neptunes, it has this Spanish vibe going on and Justin's voice sounds great. Really good to dance to. brTwo more of my favourites are the Timbaland-produced, "Cry me a River" and "(oh no) What you got". Both are really catchy and sound like nothing else on the market at the moment. "Cry me a River" is gunna be the next single, and with good reason; it's amazing, really powerful.brAnother great track is "Rock Your Body", produced by the Neptunes. It's very '70s pop/RB and damn it makes you wanna shake that boot-ay!brThe two slower, more soulful tracks; "Never Again" and "Last Night" are both excellent. "Never Again", produced by Brain McKnight in particluar. brThere is also a hidden track (track 14) which is *amazing*. It's very mellowed-out and compliments Justin's voice beautifully. brThe two songs I didn't like as much were "(and she said) Take me Now" and "Let's take a Ride". "Let's take a ride" was a bit too Burt Bacharach-esque for me and "(and she said)...", featuring Janet Jackson, was just, well, I thought it would be better, more sultry somehow. It might grow on me...brSo all in all, "Justified" is a really good album, which shows off Justin's skills to full effect. Damn, that boy is talented! There were no tracks I really disliked, and about half a dozen that I absoluted *loved* and have been playing on repeat. The hidden track (just let the CD carry on playing) is a really cool surprise, and in my opinion is one of the best songs on the album (Justin why the heck did you hide it? It's really good!) Mysterious... anyway if you like RB/Pop, you will like this. The Neptunes and Timbaland have done a magnificent job and come up with some dope beats which coupled with Justin's vocals make extremely good songs.br However, NSYNC fans be warned, it's not like any of their stuff and it's not bubblegum pop. If "Gone" and "Girlfriend" are your thing, go straight ahead. If you think that "Bye Bye Bye" was the pinnacle of their musical career, STAY AWAY. brAll in all, well worth the wait. Justin, you're gonna go far!

When I first heard that Justin Timberlake was to launch a solo career, my first thoughts were 'Oh no, more recycled bubble gum pop that is forgotten as soon as it is conceived. The best we can hope for is a couple of snogs up to the standard of *Nsync's two best songs - Gone and Girlfriend'. However, it wasn't long before he was said to be working with The Neptunes and Timberland - the two cornerstones of American RnB/Hip Hop, and I started to think that it might produce something interesting, although I was still a little sceptic about the project. It wasn't until the VMAs 2002 that I realised that 'Mr JT' was about to drastically change his image and create an original and refreshing album, that would make him RnB's new favourite, as he strutted his Michael Jackson-esque moves on stage to 'Like I Love You'.brWhen I bought the album, I was pleasantly surprised that almost every single track is of such a standard that it would embarass almost every male RnB artists (Usher are you listening?). 'Señorita' opens the album, and sets the standard with the eclectic mix of its latino beat and Justin's soulful voice, as well as Pharrell's glorious production. After that, almost the entire album is full of a mix of classic RnB Tunes and meaningful ballads - 'Like I love You', 'What You Got', 'Take It From Here', 'Cry Me A River', to give but a few examples. brThis album has shown that Pink is not the only person who can change their image, and everyone's opinion, and show them true selves. I would say this album is a must for anyone who likes music, and especially for people who are prejudiced against Justin Timberlake, as he has surely proven the doubters wrong. Well done Justin, I only hope you can top it with your next album.

I'll be totally honest - I never liked N*Sync. I'm not a great lover of mainstream pop music with boy and girl bands. When I heard that Justin Timberlake was bringing out an album my intial thoughts were of "oh here comes more pop"brHow wrong I was.pI got hold of copy of this album and reluctantly I thought I would give it go.brAnd I was totally wowed by some amazing RnB tracks and some very good vocals.pTrack 1brSenoritabrA stunning beginning. One of many many songs on this album which straight away you could say "got to be a single". This song doesn't do Justin's voice full justice but still a very very good track.pTrack 2brLike I Love YoubrYou all know this one. Its been played so much over the past 10 months that I don't realy need to review it.pTrack 3br(Oh No) What You GotbrRnB with hip hop beats mixed together equals a fantastic track and one of the many superbly produced songs on this album. pTrack 4brTake it from herebrJustin shows his soulful side with this beautiful ballad. Matching the likes of Soul Crooners Alexander O'Neal and Luther Vandross in the lyrically department, we see a softer side to Mr Timberlake.pTrack 5brCry Me A RiverbrMost people should be aware of this song now. Its the second single from the album. Also most of you will be aware of the fact its about Britney blah blah.brAs a song its different to many of the tracks on this set, but a very powerful track where we real do see the fruits of the vocal talent this man possess.pTrack 6brRock Your BodybrStrongly rumoured to be the third single and if so I predict a number one here. Its full of funk, has one hell of a bassy beat that you won't be able to help yourself from dancing.pTrack 7brNothin ElsebrI swear I thought Stevie Wonder was about to burst into song here when I heard the start of this track. But no its Justin taking a change in style and succeeding in making every track sound different. pTrack 8brLast NightbrSimply Superb. Another potential single.brMichael Jackson is defiantly in his voice here but that isn't a bad thing. People seem think its a negative thing when compared to mr Jackson. Just as long as in 10 years time Justin doesn't look like Jacko!brMy personal favourite track on the album.pTrack 9 brStill On My BrainbrJustin gives us another touching ballad which sends his message out to a girl, that shes still on his brain. Britney again?pTrack 10br(And She Said) Take Me NowbrOhhh this is out of this world. Just one of those tracks where you can listen to once and say "make it a single and you will have a major hit". brA funky edged track with a rough beat and superbly produced.pTrack 11brRight For MebrFollowing on in the same style of "Take Me Now" this track gives us a rough style in the beat but keeps the funk going.pTrack 12brLets Take A RidebrI do think it is testament to Timberlakes talkent that most of his songs sound very different. He makes every song sound like they could be a single in there own right.brThis is no exception. Pop RnB with a soulful edgepTrack 13brNever AgainbrSounds a bit N*Syncy for me. Sounds a bit in the same vein as N*Sync "Gone".brNot a terrible track but I see why its stuck near the end!pOverallbrMix Justin's vocals with the producing of the best producers in music at this moment in time - Neptunes and Timbaland then your going to get an album of geniune class.brI cannot believe I actually enjoy an album by Justin Timberlake.pI strongly recommend that you buy this album now.brI usually like to say to people "well think about it" but in this case no. Just buy it - I'll be very suprised if you don't like it.
Excellent Debut January 15, 2003

Justin Timberlake has proved himself to be a very, very talented individual. Justified is an excellent debut album. I loved every single song. Justin's sexy voice teamed with the Neptunes and Timberland is a winning combination everytime. Songs such as Last Night, (Oh No) What You Got (And She Said) Take Me Now will go down a storm in clubland and the more soulful tunes such as Still On My Brain Take It From Here are excellent songs for chilling. This really is an awesome album and I can't wait to see Justin in concert later this year!
A Musical Shock February 2, 2003
J. Curnow (London, UK)
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
Justin Timberlake's debut album was, for me, a very big surprise and if you're looking for something akin to N-Sync then you may be a bit disappointed. This is an R'n'B/Hip Hop album showcasing a grown-up Timberlake. Clearly, he's worked with some serious talent on this album but enough of a personality shines through to suggest Timberlake may have a big future ahead of him. For me, the opening track, Senorita, is the best and it certainly makes you sit and take notice of this album. The vocals on this track are superb.pThe singles, Like I Love You and Cry Me A River will be familiar to many who come to this album and they are a good reflections of the content but, by no means, are they the only strong songs. Rock Your Body will fuel the comparisons to Michael Jackson which may be hard for Justin to shake but, I think, it's superb.pAnother big surprise on this album is that Justin co-wrote so much of it. He's turned out to be a talented song writer even if, as many say, there is a little too much focus on the break up of relationships (Britney, anyone?). A musical shock - but a great one.
