Music reviews of Justified
Music Review: Gonna have you naked by the end of the review
Rating: 1 Stars
Justin Timberlake is one hard guy to categorize and maybe that is why I am not enjoying this release so much. This release has definite folk roots, but its melancholy and lushness takes it to a world of its own. Some may hear a little Coldplay, Tom Waits, Jeff Buckley, but again the similarities are just that as I am still having a hard time trying to disclose a listening experience that feels very intimate yet has a sweeping scale, and I don't remember being seduced by a release that reveals itself a little at a time. Some don't like Justin's voice and everyone has a right to their opinion, but although I tend to love powerful soul balladeers, this voice has its own unique power and intimacy rarely seen in music with commercial appeal.
In a nutshell, this CD has got to be experienced first-hand to truly appreciate it. My feeling is that you will love it or hate it depending on how you like your music. If you only like your music within easily definable genres (R & B, pop, rock, etc.) and sung by widely recognized great vocalists (Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke, and say Seal to name a more contemporary singer) with strong pipes, this release may not be to your liking. On the other hand, if you are open to different sounds and see beauty in things that other people may find downright annoying, this may be what the doctor ordered. In a world of cookie-cutter musicians, and endlessly repetitive radio stations, this CD is a breath of fresh air. Everything about this album is masterfully put together...the gorgeous instrumentals, stark vocals--even the order of songs, beginning with slow and bittersweet and progressing to heart-wrenchingly desperate is genius. The style seems to come from all around, pulled out of the ethereal musical mist of past greats. Each song is laden with emotion and deep, introspective lyrics. The intimate melodies instantly tickle your ears. His vocal stylings yearn with passion, often pushing him to the edge with just the right amount of cracking to be the perfect envelope for the pain and passion being written about. His vocal and breath phrasings are unique and keep the songs interesting. I believe this album is for anyone who simply loves talent and beautiful art.
What can be said about this album that hasn't already been said? Nothing, really, it is his chance to cleans himself of all the pain and guilt from his collapsing marriage. But beyond that, he doesn't just go out and tell his pain in words, unlike other artists like Aaron Carter 'Crush On you' ...But Seriously, instead he works his gift of poetry carefully around every line, simple songs that sound complex, lines that aren't overexplained, even if you haven't lived throught the same thing, you can still relate to the pain and conviction he runs through every line. And therein lies the power of this album, he's never beat it, he's never done anything better than it, and I really believe that it is possible that no one ever WILL make anything better than it, because although it has a theme, the songs don't need each other to remind you the frailty of the human condition, they don't preach to you, or go out and say "Hey, you! Pity me!" No, instead he slowly unravels every line, telling his story through tales of others, giving you the chance to read into it what you will.
This is an anger record, there's more than one song that can make you cry. The music, chords and everything, the don't look like furious chords or style or anything, if you pay atention you might hear some melodic and happy tunes, but thats just the cover of an album filled with sad lyrics, and they are so well relatead that they will put you in his place, you will feel like a loner. It's not like i enjoy bob pain, but this record is just indescriptible and filled with lost love, if that's your case, you'll identify yourselfe with this, and you will play it over and over.I listen "Seniorita" almost every day, so you know.
Well done chap. The lyrics are simple enough to show that you've been writing a while and no longer succumb to silly lyric standards. They're also poignant and beautiful. Good stuff. The music is also a pleausre to listen to, just nice and acoustic, sometimes peaking into epicly large sonic soundscapes, sometimes content to stay conservitave. Nice to listen to for sure. I dunno if anyone told you though... you just don't have the pipes for the stuff you're writing. I'm sorry but you don't. You write way out of your range and your falsetto is the worst I think I've ever heard commited to CD. You crack, can't keep a steady note, and are all over the place with your voice. In fact, if you ever want to make another cd, give me a call, I can probably (the probably added only out of courtesy) sing better than you. Regadless though for some reason your voice is charming. It works. I don't know quite why, it goes against all of the "rules of passable singing" but it fits. So a job well done. The cd's incredible. You've succeded at being a terrible vocalist and still sounding crap. This guy is a satire of himself. Dead serious and full of pretention, but lacking both self distance and musical talent, he just comes off as mildly amusing. This pseudo-intellectual work which some praise (and to my surprise very few dislike) rings a feeling of coffee shop music - and that's being very generous to the record. I imagine that his fanbase consists of people who are just slightly interested of the "alt-rock" scene but are nowhere near of having a genuine interest in music.
So what does the future hold this sleaze bucket?I am either going to use it for a coffee cup coaster, return it to the person, or give it to someone I only can hope will appreciate this whiny little man. I think this would be a better instrumental cd. I am not just bashing the religious nature of the music. I just think this guy was not meant to sing. Perhaps he should write and let someone else sing. Also, the words themselves don't go good with the rhythm of the guitar or more importantly the beat. This album only gets one star because it introduced me to the joys of breakdancing

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
