Album reviews: FutureSex / LoveSounds, by Justin Timberlake

Let me introduce you to Justin Timberlake international superstar. From Mickey Mouse Club star to NSync, to solo artist. He joined the Mickey Mouse Club in 1994 where he co-stared with Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling, Keri Russel and Britney Spiers who he later in 2000 had a high profile relationship with. He joined NSync in 1995 which was a huge success and they had several hits. In 2002 Justin became a solo artist. His first album is called 'Justified' and was a hit. His current album Futuresex/Lovesound has been very successful and debuted at Number 1 in the charts (UK and US) when released in 2006.

Having recently seen Justin Timberlake in the Futuresex/Lovesound tour in Brisbane (Australia), I thought I would review this album. The concert was amazing, one of the best I have been to so far. It had brilliant lighting and was a fantastic show to watch, with Justin singing live and he did sound more or less the same as his album. I am going to review each track out of 5 and after each song title the length of the track is listed. So here goes the review of his album;

1) Futuresex/Lovesound - (4.01)
Rating: 3/5
This is laid back with a good beat to dance to. He opened up his concert with this song and it has a computerised vibe (almost like his voice was robotic) which makes it seem futuristic. This song is one of those which does get stuck in your head.

2) Sexyback - (4.02)
Rating: 5/5
All about Justin "bringing sexy back". I chose to buy this album after hearing this track. At the start I hated the song but its very catchy and makes me want to dance every time I hear it. Its got a great beat to it which everyone knows the words!

3) SexyLadies/Let me talk to you Prelude - (5.32)
Rating: 2/5
This song makes me think that Justin is big headed. He's singing about how he's got loads of sexy ladies. It's got a funky beat like most of the other songs thought its not one you would get up to dance to. It's not really about anything just him thinking he's great really.

4) My Love (feat T.I) - (4.36)
Rating: 4/5
I quite like this song, it's about a man wanting to marry a girl and spend the rest of his life with her. It's very quirky and not a song I would really dance to but always sing the chorus maybe because I don't know the other words lol! In the middle T.I. raps and I think it would have been better if he didn't. There is an electronic pulse type beat at the start keeping in theme that the album is futuristic. I do feel the song lasts too long and find myself turning it
