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

 After Playing "Justified",I"m NOT November 8, 2008
I pray this isn't the future of music.There are a couple of tracks worth listening to,but the rest are just drum machines and rap,and Justin trying to be Black.{Hey,I can rap too!!!}
 Horrible October 10, 2008
I still haven't recieved my CD and it has been a month. I guess I'll have to contact the seller again so that I can get a refund, although I would think that she would contact me to see if I had recieved the CD since I've already emailed her once. I am not a satisfied customer at all!
 brilliant!!! great songs, fantastic production August 5, 2008
if you like pop, if you enjoy listening to "off the wall" or "thriller", don't wait 10 years when justin may be (or may be not) crowned the king of pop to listen to his music. This is one of the greatest pop albums released in this last 8 years. Fantastic melody and lyrics together with brilliant production. Along with "back to black" from amy winehouse, "come away with me" from norah jones and "crazy ex-girlfriend" from miranda lambert this is one of the greatest albuns released in the beginning of the 21st century. No excuse for not buying it
Justifiable June 3, 2008
Justifiable is the release of this album. Justin Timberlake has stepped into a new direction. Leaving *NSYNC to explore the solo venue has been the right choice.
He has grown ,significantly, from his Mickey Mouse and early *NSYNC Days. Co-producing "JUSTIFIED" Justin chose those he wanted to work with, and the singles with the right formulas. "Like I Love You" the first single, he fought for, and this push paid off.
Within days of the unofficial "Like I Love You" radio release it shot to #1 on Kiss LA,and other large scale stations, after.
This is a club record, with multiple dance tracks.There are also beautiful slow numbers with pure emotions. "Never Again" is one such piece.
Controversial "Cry Me A River" is more than hype. An explosion unfolds,exposing a cheating lover. It's a track, you always won't mind playing time and time again!
An MJ Carbon Copy, Is That A Bad Thing? April 16, 2008
Now I must say I'm a bit biased as I'm a huge fan of Justins, I think he's an extremely talented man and has the ability to take his career and carry it on for as long as he wants. Many people claim that it's a bad thing for how familiar sounding Justin is to Michael Jackson, I personally don't see this as a bad thing as it takes the great sound that we first loved MJ for and gives it a new face for a new generation.
Justin's a very talented man who's got an excellent voice for an album which gives us songs that are very much memorable. Like I love you was the first song to be released as a single and in kind was Justins first ever solo single; there was a rumour that this song was first offered to MJ himself who turned it down which led to Justin picking up the song and making it his own.
With all the comparisons to MJ that people want to throw out there, Justin really brings his own individual touch to this debut album. His individual sound is really expressed through the song Cry Me A River, which many will agree is one of his best songs to date. People believe this was written with the thought of his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears in mind as is apparent in the video. The song is soulful and powerful in giving off an energetic and emotional sound which is something that is unique to Timberlake and helps bring the critics away from this notion of him being a carbon copy of MJ.
Does Justin sound like Michael Jackson? The answer is yes he does. Is it a bad thing? The answer is no. Justin is an individual musician with a sound that is familiar to the old funk/disco of the 70s but he's someone who can make this sound his own and can make us think, WOW!!! That is precisely my reaction when I first heard this album and if you haven't heard this already then when you do finally hear it all you will have the same reaction.
