Common wisdom holds that debut albums have an autobiographical slant, so it's hard to believe that Justin Timberlake's first non-'N Sync outing doesn't purloin much of its subject matter from the singer's breakup with Britney Spears. Half the songs are about the abrupt severing of a romance and the singer's rather hard-hearted 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." But Timberlake apparently thinks it does, since he christened his record Justified. He also seems to enjoy boasting about the swinging single life, with many of the songs here almost gratuitously lascivious. Asides like "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 the singer 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 on the charts. With the help of hip-hop producers Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo of the Neptunes, Timbaland, and P. Diddy, Timberlake has turned out a remarkably cohesive and sophisticated slice of club-friendly R&B. --Jaan Uhelszki

Average Customer Rating: 3.5 out of 5
1) Very pleased customer [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I am very happy with this product, arrived SUPER fast and was as promised, doesn't get much better!2) you're not justified to torture ppl's eardrums w/this [Rating: 1 out of 5]
it's funny to see how just yrs ago, i was a huge fan of nsync and JT's solo work. now i can't even stand them.what's all this hype about JT? i don't get it. he just got lucky b/c he came out at the right time w/the right songs. i would love to see him write a song all by himself. Justin is no different from everybody else on the radios -- fake, superficial, talentless. the man can't sing s***. see how the music industry has really lowered its music standards substantially? now the air waves are filled w/studio synthesized and squeaky/whiny voices...it's sad.honestly, i think JUSTIFIED is even worse than any nsync album b/c it lacks harmony (am no longer a nsync fan either) and the quality of the music is just horrible. i can't possibly reiterate enough -- justin can't sing and this album is by far probably one of the worst albums i've ever heard.3) I love it. [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I've been a fan of his since I was 9. And I really enjoyed this album. And I'm happy that he's become such a huge artist.4) Could have been worse, but not by that much [Rating: 2 out of 5]
Words of advice to upcoming male pop singers: Never try to be Michael Jackson because it will not work no matter how hard you try. On this mostly forgettable album, Justin Timberlake tries to emulate MJ, and it is clear that the attempt is pretty unsuccessful. "Rock Your Body" is catchy and danceable, if vocally insignificant, but that is the only song on this album that is even remotely worth hearing. All in all, definitely not a justifiable masterpiece.5) Forget the hype! [Rating: 1 out of 5]
This album just plan sucks! It's such a shame that there was so much hype around Justin at the time that his and Nick Carter's album Now or Never came out that Nick's album didn't sell as well as his. And Nick's album is 10x better! I still listen to it and it came out years ago! Justin is some hip-hop artist wanna be! Nick was true to himelf by doing a combo of rock and pop. People, if you want to hear a better album get Nick's!
