no need for chagrin here. Justified, although the title is a bit of a misnomer, is a good album. the reason I own it: I told my sister about the Bjork box-set, and that I was thinking of getting it for her for christmas.. cut to x-mas day, there under the tree is a package To: her, From: a tiny picture of bjork giggling like a 4 year old that just played a mischevious joke on one of her friends. she uncovers the giftwrap to find j. timberlake staring back at her, backed with two empty 2CD jewel cases. no Family Tree (yet). she was pissed but appretiated the joke, based on the fact that we shared a secret liking for the "Like I Love You" single, and the one other track we had heard from the album. saying you like this album does not make you an immediate n'sync fan though. what it does say, is basically that you like the neptunes, or timbaland who dominate the behind-the-boards presence of most of this album. timberlake is an expendable element on many tracks (that I've heard) all of the creative input comes directly from the neptunes, from the drum programming, to the melodies, to the lyrics and to the background "ad-libbing," which, had "Like I Love You" been say a toni braxton or ray-j track, would have neptunes' pharell williams speaking in justin's place. just try to picture it. basically, what n'sync's [unfortunate.. for us anyway] sucess and his boyish goodlooks earned timberlake was the opportunity to create a label money-maker in which he was able to say "Oh! I like such and such, or he's a good producer, I like him" and the labelheads weren't to disagree or try to pull any strings because, the neptunes/timbaland (moreso the former) have had such unbelievably auspicious careers as producers within the last 2 years. ..in the end, he and the label execs win. let me get a chance to see what people have to say about this before I'm banned permanently, phobia |

Oh, I'd appreciate Justin Timberlake...if he swallowed a pickle jar full of razor blades and choked on them... And yes, you should be banned for this topic, crossword boy! >:( |

the neptunes are great producers .. I wouldnt be saying this otherwise |

i agree with DaWeeze fully.. on another note, neptunes rule! |

THE SPICE GIRLS COULD KICK TIMBERLAKES ASS Word up I really like Timbaland and the Neptunes production techniques/styles, that would be the only reason I would ever go about buying this album, some of those tunes are pretty rockin and catchy. Justin Timberlake is a blatant Michael Jackson wanna be, -minus the dancing talent and creativity that Michael had/has |
||||||||

|

it really is some of the neptunes best material,, more developed then most of their "superthug"-rehashes at least. this is almost a followup N.E.R.D. album , channelling their music thru someone who's really going to earn money for it. and replacing pharell's weak vocal abilities |

I really like Timberlake's music as well, and i think alot more of these people here would also like it if the guy hadn't been a part of 'n sync, but would just be some unknown debuting singer. But yeah... great music (the two singles i've heard anyway, but i'm planning to give the entire album a listen). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

well well, look who's here! mister "ooh-ooh-my-ears" ;) guess it didn't reach the 100 surrounded.. WHOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :DDD :PPP |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for what it's worth i agree w/ theo and furthermore want to mention that i doubt anyone on this thread has even heard timberlake's album, making their opinion about as useful as a britney fan's impression of matmos.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No prob, theo. Just joshing you. ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right right.. this is my point. it's the association with nsync that turns people away (it's also the reason many people that haven't heard any of the album) .. but there's no reason to turn away from this .. it's GOOD, believe it or not.. but that shouldn't be surprising if you like talented musicians like pharell williams.. this doesn't have to be a timberlake album at all.. he just happens to be the one these producers sold these tracks to. this could have been an usher album. it could have been a joy division album, it could be a crossover trent reznor album for that matter. basically, justin is the vocalist on some new, very good neptunes tracks |
||||||||
|
|

I have a lot of respect for his catchy rhythms and synth loops- I just dislike (most of) the artists he collaborates with. |

this thread might be more aptly-titled "the Justified appreciation thread" or "a testament to the deft producing abilities and talent of pharell williams and chad hugo" |
||||||||
|

|

I agree its good music, and that it could be anyone up front doing the singing. But that also means I can't appreciate Timberlake himself, he doesn't bring much to the package. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tru. much of the reason he's in the position he is today anyway has more to do w/ his looks and how much 12 yr old girls are attracted to him than his charisma or anything else that would otherwise make him stand out. and that is very true for most people in that industry.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he doesn't bring much to the package exactly, i bet he isn't even able to make a track himself, it's all done for him.. only thing he does is sing and appear in the videos .. it's exactly the same as all other commercial crap.. i really don't see how you could appreciate that |

"it's the association with nsync that turns people away" Exactly, it's sad really. People heard justin was making a solo-album, and before they had even heard a single note of it, already said to themselves: "this can't be any good..." I must admit i myself was also surprised when i heard the first single... but you've always got to keep an open mind imo. You might not expect good music from the singer of 'n sync, but if it turns out to be good after all... be willing to admit your expectations were wrong. I had this exact same feeling of pleasant surprise when i heard "let me entertain you" by another certain artist for the first time... |

i hope that was irony. |

"well well, look who's here! mister "ooh-ooh-my-ears" ;)" lol, well well, if it isn't mister "ooh-ooh-my-cock" :-p "guess it didn't reach the 100 surrounded.. " hm... indeed. Better luck next time ;-) For make no mistake, i will make a thread longer than anything you've ever made :-p |

"only thing he does is sing and appear in the videos .. it's exactly the same as all other commercial crap.. i really don't see how you could appreciate that" But what does all that matter? Isn't it the music that counts? What if tomorrow some journalist will discover Aphex Twin is in reality a bald, fat and smelly guy in his late 40's who makes all this wonderful music.... and the bearded guy with the weird grin was just some actor Warp hired to appear in videos, on the covers and give interviews.... would that make you like this music any less? Even if it still sounds exactly the same as it does today? |

Damn, Damn, Damn. I misread this thread as Timberland! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

I like the beat in the song that went like "I just wanna love you baby" That's a catchy groove right there! *grabs a brush, holds it in front of his mouth and starts immitating mister jackson* "I JUST WANNA LOVE YOU BABY!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, yeah me too. I was gonna say: I like the song he did with Justin Timberlake... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i heard that the timbaland tracks are even better than the 'tunes ones tho. i must say, however, that the neptunes helped justin make a song that he wanted to sound like radiohead and mazzy star (this is "take it from me"). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a solo album ?? lol does he maked the music ? he just was singing with his cat-whining voice ... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cat-crying |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahh yeah.. he said he was trying to sing it "like Thom Yorke or [the guy from coldplay]" hmmm... u should play 'take it from here' on next week's radio show ;) it is a good song here..put on my jacket .. and then... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like the neptunes beat for baby i got your money, but i didn't like the stuff on N.E.R.D. and i'm not willing to take the risk on picking this up unless i get motivated to granulate it all to hell |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
For make no mistake, i will make a thread longer than anything you've ever made :-p LOL!!! :D :P If i may give you some advice then surrounded... maybe you should start a topic called "Name 10 good things about Morton" .. i'm sure it'll reach the 1000+ .. only suggesting :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But what does all that matter? Isn't it the music that counts? Yeah, but that still means that i don't (topic's subject:) appreciate J. Timberlake, 'cause he has got nothing to do with the music you hear in his songs. As theo himself mentioned well, appreciation should go out to the dudes who make the music imo (btw my aprreciation goes out to noneoftheabove 'cause i simply don't like it, but that's not the point ey?) What if tomorrow some journalist will discover Aphex Twin is in reality a bald, fat and smelly guy in his late 40's who makes all this wonderful music.... and the bearded guy with the weird grin was just some actor Warp hired to appear in videos, on the covers and give interviews.... ...well then appreciation should go out to the bald-fat-and-smelly guy, 'cause he makes the great music :) |

"If i may give you some advice then surrounded... maybe you should start a topic called "Name 10 good things about Morton" .. i'm sure it'll reach the 1000+" haha, don't think i'll fall for that ;-) Obviously you're intentionally giving me bad advice so that any topic i'll create will only get 1 post (my own) in them. :-p Maybe i'll create a second account to help me get more responce in my own topics.................................... ;-) |
