More is Less: Don't Fall For It!Dec 04, 2007
By LuKasAV6 Timberlake and his record company have opted to sucker music lovers into buying a mediocre, watered-down re-release of FutureSex/LoveSounds. Deluxe edition is not the term. DeSPICABLE edition is more like it.
Disc 1 contains the censored versions of most of the songs along with a few remixes. Beyonce (who also is guilty of the same CD re-releasing tactic) surprisingly downgrades the original version of "Until The End of Time".
Disc 2 contains videos from the CD, "Making of..." segments, and interviews about the videos. One problem: the videos are not groundbreaking. They are not even interesting. The DVD contains a few live performances also that I think most fans can live without.
Don't buy it! Timberlake, Beyonce, and Usher could take a lesson from Chris Brown who released a deluxe edition along with a plain edition of his CD. It boils down to respect for music fans. Wow! Even the CD cover looks sinister and manipulating!

My Suprise of the Year Thus FarSep 13, 2006
By Scott Louis Of all the albums I thought I might review next; lord knows I never thought it would be the new release from ex-boy-band gloryboy Justin Timberlake. With "Justified," he forged a moderately (if conservatively so) different personality than the clean-cut good boy image he had cultivated with his work with `NSYNC. The songs were personal, if overwrought, and overproduced. The singles were monumental, but the album overall lacked a true personality.
On "Futuresex/LoveSounds", Timberlake leaves `NSYNC so far behind that its hard to view him as the same person. Much of this is most likely to Timbaland's credit, who produced almost every track on this fine record. This album had one of two directions to go from "Justified," either an attempt at the same thing, or a grandiose, hubristic, self-promoting, self-aggrandizing beast of a record. And to everyone's benefit (most prominently his own), Timberlake chose the latter.
The lyrics are an intriguing amalgamation, ranging from shameless hubris to pathetic desperation, and its in walking that line that Timberlake finds his real charm. He's likeable because he reacts to his situation like a real person. He knows the power he has (through his fame), but at the core he is still hopelessly insecure. On second single "My Love," his flights of masochism and confidence on other tracks dissolve into ruminations of marriage, as if his confident ruse is nothing more than a hopeless romantic simply looking for the one on which to spend it.
The backing beats, mainly by Timbaland, showcase the master back on top of his game. Ranging from pseudo-funk, to post Purple-Rain Prince, to Timba's very own take on pop; the tracks flow seamlessly, effortlessly, and hypnotically. Interestingly, it is not the beats that immediately grab the attention, but the judicious application of soaring synths and strings that propel the spaces in between and throughout Mr. Timberlake's staccato vocals. Even the string harmonies and fills (most notably on "Lovestoned/I Think That She Knows") have marvelous hooks, and leave the listener desperate for a fuller fleshing out of their themes.
I had no intention of really liking this album, but that proved all but impossible. Timberlake and Timbaland have created a pop/hip-hop/funk collage that is immediately accessible, likeable, and just plain fun.
Highly Recommended.

Not a Decent Re-releaseNov 28, 2007
By I'm hungry. feed me This re-release is a waste of money if you have The original 2006 release. While the bonus DVD is nice, the CD portion is not. The bonus songs are just new remixes. Plus, The CD is edited. 50 Cent brings noting new to Sexy Ladies. And While Beyoncé brings a whole new light to Until The End Of Time, Justin does not. Justin's vocals remain the same. All they did was censor his second verse and second chorus and add new Beyoncé vocals and yet, it's labeled as a "Duet". It's more of a remix. The only good remix is The Missy Elliott remix to SexyBack. She makes this song, which I felt was the worst on the album, and makes it into a more enjoyable song.
CONS 1. Missing 2 cuts tracks : A. "Pose" (Best Buy, Japan, UK Bonus song) B. "Boutique In Heaven" (US ITunes Bonus Track) 2. Edited Album
PROS 1. Bonus DVD 2. The way the songs are edited - Snippets of clean words or lines that work just as well from other parts of the explicit songs are dubbed over rather than just completely bleeping out the profanity
Anyways, Like I said, if you have the original, don't bother unless you want the bonus dvd and remixes. If you don't have the original, this is the one to get.

So Good I'm At A Loss For WordsOct 06, 2006
By Ruth E. Mejia
"Music Manic"
I've been putting off writing this review for about a week now. Reason being: with the exception of one song, this is such a great album my words won't do justice to it. Either way I will try to give my honest opinion on each song below:
1-"FutureSex/LoveSound" (5/5) Great song. Wonderful chorus. Love it's unusual beat and it's racy lyrics.
2-"SexyBack" (5/5) The reason I got the album in the first place is this song. With it's off the hook beat and Justin's unique vocal arrangement, this song became a hit in my book.
3-"Sexy Ladies" (5/5) Another awesome song. It's chorus is very catchy and Justin's voice in it is great.
4-"My Love" (5/5) I loooooove this song. The prelude to this song and the
actual intro. are insanely good. Justin's falsetto in the background is just bone chilling.I could listen to this song all day long. T.I.'s rap is very fitting and well written.
5-"LoveStoned" (5/5) A great song with a very cool chorus and terrific lyrics. My favorite part is the interlude at the end. Justin's voice is wonderful in it. Overall, a great song.
6-"What Goes Around Comes Around" (5/5) I love the message in this song. Many people can relate to this song which is what I love about it. Great lyrics + great vocals, inevitably = a GREAT song.
7-"Chop Me Up" (5/5) A personal fave, this song is just flawless. I love the way Justin sings in it. It just suits him right. Timbaland's verse is also fabulous. This song's chorus is what has me hooked. Three 6 Mafia's collaboration with Justin was a great idea. Nobody else could have done a better job.
8-"Damn Girl" (3/5) I was about to give the album a 4 instead of a perfect 5 stars because of this song. I simply don't get it. I hate it. I gave it a 3 because I have heard worse songs but really, it could have been kept out of this almost perfect album.
9-"Summer Love" (5/5) Awesome beat and vocal arrangement make this song a great potential single. It's lyrics are mature and catchy making it one of my faves.
10-"Until The End Of Time" (5/5) A very sweet love song. Its beautiful, touching lyrics will definitely touch the hearts of those who listen to it.
11-"Losing My Way" (5/5) This is just a great song about the typical drug addict that finds he/she is losing grasp of their life. Wonderfully written and sung in a deep, mellow way, this song leaves me speechless.
12-"(Another Song) All Over Again" (4/5) This has to be the song I have listened to less along with "Damn Girl". I feel it could have better lyrics that would make it more touching.
Honestly, this album has got to be the best one in my collection thus far. I am in looove with it and only hope Justin keeps it in mind for his next release. If he keeps his crazy, electrifying beats and his mature lyrics, I will be buying his albums forevermore. Justin should also continue collaborating with Timbaland and Nate Hills when it comes to writing and his dope beats. Great job, Justin!
I can listen to this album in its entirety except for the song "Damn Girl" therefore I will not write my Faves because I'd have to list 11 out of the 12 songs.
