Justin Timberlake - FutureSex / LoveSounds Album

Listening to the "Future Sex/Love Sound" album it's hard to believe that Justin was ever in a boy band. Much of this is most likely to Timbaland's credit—he produced almost every track on this fine record. The lyrics are an intriguing blend, ranging from shameless hubris to pathetic desperation, and it's 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.
