sexless

two of the best (pop)albums of last year are classified by
allmusic.com as sexless
futuresex/lovesounds and
loose

i think this is pretty weird and possibly wrong, but mostly
i don't know what to think. maybe allmusic is losing it.
maybe i'm not used to reading (partly) negative reviews on
allmusic. maybe i'm bewildered allmusic uses such a strange,
non-objective, criterium.

what do you think?

They're not sexless, but they promote some kind of ideal of
fake, plastic eroticism. Plastic as in the material, nice
and smooth and utterly soulless.

It makes me very unconfortable, and I got very nervous
watching the video for Sexy Back and I had to stop it and go
out and touch the ground to remind myself that not all was
smooth and made of plastic.

I wish they labeled Justin Timberlake as 'sexless'. That
would be teh sex!

i don't know about 'sexless' but something about the weird
sexy marketing strategy on those two is a bit unsettling

Yeah, now that I've read the review I think I pretty much
agree with it.

this sounds pretty much on the money:

"...and the only weak link is Furtado; no matter how she
growls on "Maneater" or murmurs on "Promiscuous" — no
matter how much she sings about sex, period — she just
doesn't sound sexy. She sounds as if she's striving to be
sexy, which doesn't generate much carnal heat, but it
ultimately doesn't matter much since on all the heavy dance
songs, of which there are a bunch, she's mixed into the
background on Timbaland's production, functioning as another
instrument, which helps the music work as just a stylish
wall of sound."

That's my point of view on the matter too.

I don't mind her voice so much, it's more the way she bumps
up against the guy in the video in a laughably unsexy way,
like some 14 year old girl at a disco trying to impress a
man several years her senior.

plus that Timbaland now looks like he could be anyones
father, the way he moves.

a friend of mine made me listen to a justin timberlake track
lately... and frankly, i couldn't even stand listening to it
in its entirety. i'm quite abashed because he has a very
good taste in music usually. ' _'

Ha ha! I saw the video again yesterday and was actually
thinking the same thing. He looks like he's aged about 10
years in the past year.
