what do you think? personally, its a massive let down. The guy has so much potential but this strikes me as being a very average album. I'm not impressed with it.

He's young, talented, and experimenting. Yes I prefer his earlier stuff but he's still finding his feet as an artist and we've far from heard the last of him.

james.miller · 7 Sep 2006 at 23:05

very true.....

....but have you actually heard it? lol

_Jimlad_ · 7 Sep 2006 at 23:44

it's kids music !

what are you lot? 7 year old girls?

The remix of Sexyback is quality. Don't like the normal mix.

He's wanting to be more underground so club for credability.

Nowt wrong with a bit of JT, sunshine.

I proudly own a copy of his debut.

I've only heard the new single...and I'm not a fan. At all.

Signs was pro though.

ok so i've listened to it again. and again and again and again.

and i like it. a lot

Futuresex, My Love and What Goes Around are brilliant tracks.

TriedandTested · 15 Sep 2006 at 18:18

Really like it so far...Think She Knows is good, and the Snoop song.

Gilly · 15 Sep 2006 at 18:20

I reckon I need to pick up a copy. The first album was well worth it, and I think as a piece of music Cry Me a River is damn near perfect.

Carzy · 15 Sep 2006 at 18:29

It's supposed to be very good from the reviews I've read. I'll have to have a listen when I can.

im actually starting to think its one of the best albums ive heard for quite a while. Can i retract my original statement :rolleyes:

if you like cry me a river (good taste btw), you should love What Goes Around../..Comes Around

SoliD · 15 Sep 2006 at 20:53

just listening to this now, some tracks so far have been really good, but i havent really concentrated on the names, will be one that needs to be listened to once or twice more to appreciate it properly i think.

What goes around is the track of the album from what i have heard so far. Hopefully it wont go stale, like a lot of his first album is for me when i listen to it nowadays.

It's damn good IMO. Not sure if I love it more than Justified at the moment but it's a hell of an albumn.

NokkonWud · 15 Sep 2006 at 21:30

Justified is such a hard act to follow, I don't know many artists who can release an album and release 4 (I thought it was 5?) tracks from it and have so much success with efforts in other peoples work and have hits with those too.

From his album:
Like I love You
Cry Me a River
Senorita
Rock Your Body

featured in:
Where is the Love (Black Eyed Peas)
Signs (Snoop Dogg)
I'm Lovin' It (McDonalds)
Work It (Nelly)

And those are just the ones that come to mind. A hard working lad and he deserves all the success he can get, especially as he carried N*Sync on his back.

Chads · 16 Sep 2006 at 14:46

'My love' Ft. T.I is his next single, and is perhaps one of the best RnB singles this year. Really, it's a shame all the singles on the album don't feature the kind of precise experimentation seen on this track.

Still, excellent album, certainly my most listened to at the moment.

Meatball · 16 Sep 2006 at 15:58

I'm buying it next week. The only track I've heard is SexyBack but I might listen to the iTunes samples later

I never got in to Justin Timberlake. Too much of a Jacko rip off. Especially the clothes and dancing. Cry Me a River sounds so much like a slowed up version of Jackos 'In The closet'. Especially the chorus bit

james.miller · 16 Sep 2006 at 17:27

he's moved away from that now, it seems. Reviews are comparing him more to prince's early stuff. Whatever it sounds like, its good music.
