Carlos Baca

Great album. His new direction is refreshing, you can definitely feel emotion in every track and have a feel from where he took his musical inspiration from. But if your expectation is more of his old stuff, you will be dissapointed. Looking for a great musical experience, look no further

Debbie Beck

I think Justin is very talented. Sometimes we get use to a certain style and sound of a artist, And that's how many think it should be. Because they don't always like change...but life is change. I like this record very much. Its different. My hat goes off to you Justin.

Ryan LaBine

Not sure where all the negativity is coming from. The album is good. A few songs keep getting stuck in my head. Love the music videos. Is the negativity coming from him trying something new? People do get frustrated with new!

Jenifer Smith

This is definitely a good listen! My "gold standard" JT albums are FutureSex/Love Sounds and The 20/20 Experience (part 1, of course). MOTW is not as great as those two, but it is a really good album. I love the new direction he takes with some of the songs and the way they blend with the "classic JT" type tracks. It's not a full "normal" JT album, but that's good...artists need to grow and change in order to remain relevant! Thanks for the good album Justin, welcome back!

Awais Ibrahim

Didn't know how this album would turn out when filthy was released, but it is great! There's a refreshing blend of new sounds mixed in with stuff I feel JT fans are familiar with. Overall really well done!

Amanda k

Not loving it at all. All the songs sound the same and sounds.much more of what Pharrell would sing. He has totally taken over this album in my opinion. Was hoping for much much more. JT older stuff was way better. Really disappointed

Change isn't for everyone so if you are one of those people you are probably not going to like this album. I thought the album was good. I don't think it was his best but none the less still good. Only 2 songs I didnt really care for and thats flannel and man of the woods other than that not bad at all.

Lucky S January 5, 2018

Can't wait. From what I've heard and seen, it feels like this album will celebrate his "Heroes Journey". He's gone home, a new man, and he's finding something worth while he's left behind to become a more whole artist.

Patrick Brown July 30, 2018

Trash...JT used to be an innovator... This album was so bad... I get that you're a family man now JT but come on give your fans what they deserve! Classic music!

Cat Glueck February 5, 2018

No... Just no. This album sounds like Justin is trying to find his new sound. Unfortunately, there's like 15 different new sounds in this album and nothing matches and none of them, are good. Stick with your old sound, JT! That's why everyone loves you! New and innovative but not in a good way.

Nicole Hodson February 2, 2018

Nope! JT this is a no for me. I see what you did with this album it was a fun little diddy with just one hitty.😀 well it's been a year or so since you put out 20/20 it was time to fill your contract album with the company. You did now you can go another two or so years and do something else I suppose. Just don't do any more albums like this if you do any more at all.

Melissa Onorato May 3, 2018

I don't know why people think this is a bad album. I love it personally, yeah it's a little different than JT's sound from other albums but I can still listen to the whole thing without skipping a track. And this "new sound" that everyone is complaining about? It's not new folks, just new to you. Listen to Prince and Michael Jackson and you'll hear his inspiration for this.

Lee Jay February 3, 2018

Total change in sound, but not in a good way...He took a few steps back with this one. Seriously, only ONE decent song on this album- Say Something. That's it.

Nilaja Evans March 5, 2018

I have been a fan of Justin's since his first album, Justified, and I could not wait for this to come out. I even bought tickets to the tour before I heard the whole album. It's sad to say I kind of don't like this album. The sound is all over the place and I go from liking one song to hating the next. I love how I can listen to his other records and not have to press next to every other song, but can't say the same for this one. This just kind of fell flat for me. I can say the more I listen to the album the more I like it or tolerate it. The songs I just can't even listen to are flannel, man of the woods, and the hard stuff. When listening to the album, it sounds like a mix of his old music, country, and can't stop the feeling part 2. I think he kind of took an L on this but it's overall an okay album.

Cinemahill February 14, 2018

There's only two tracks that I liked on this album which are Flannel and Say something. The rest are just subpar songs. I commend Justin for trying to come up with a different sound, but as a whole this is just not a good album to me.

C K February 7, 2018

I'm all for reinventing oneself, but I'm not impressed with this album. 20/20 has some of JT's best songs to date. I can't seem to get into this album no matter how hard I try.

De Mann February 5, 2018

This is not good Not good at all. I'm open to trying something different but these songs don't work. The 20/20 Experience V1 was a great experiment. The first 4 songs were slammin. Unique. This is bland and lazy. Swing and a miss.

William Dunbar April 5, 2018

From what i heard it's not bad, though not as good as previous albums, best songs are Man of the Woods, Say Something, Filthy and Midnight Summer Jam not crazy about Morning Light or Supplies. I feel like JT has taken this album in a new direction and not a good one he should have stuck with his old sound that would have been better.

Caleb Pritchett February 10, 2018

Every song is high quality. Justin is a perfectionist, and doesn't release anything that's half baked. That really shows in this album, which happens to be his most mature album yet. Not in that his songs are only meant for an adult audience, but that his themes aren't as flashy as they were before. He's focused on substance and produced an album about the things that matter; home, family, and heritage.

Leroy Kaiwi February 7, 2018

Something new and refreshing and I love it! Makes you want to dance! Only people with no rhythm would hate these songs. "Man of the Woods" is my new jam!

Warrior Mindset January 21, 2018

Always been a fan of JT and I don't doubt him now....... The video for "Filthy" is good and I like the message it has about not letting what you do as an artist take over who you really are....... I see JT wasn't lying when he said this album is really personal to him.......

Libby T February 3, 2018

I can see Pharrell at work here. None of these songs are catchy. Bummer :(

Alexandria Atkins February 6, 2018

Not the best album. Seems like he try to sound different but it's not working.

Devyn Hart February 2, 2018

Has a lot of character and very different from previous works! Some of the songs are instant favorites, i. e. "Say Something", while others are still very good but take a couple of listens to, to kind of absorb and appreciate them, as they are different from his normal wheelhouse. All together not my favorite of JT's, but still an an excellent album!

Kimberly J March 17, 2018

Its a great album it . It's not an automatic album you jump into because it's so different from 20/20 experience and we got accustomed to that sound but Honestly it's a great album.. Montana, Higher higher, Wave and Livin off the land are my favorites

zajv7712 lom February 2, 2018

Seems unfocused and a mismatch of instruments. He can do much much better than this.

Yura Fedorchenko February 2, 2018

We were waiting this very long time and now it is here! Music style is very interesting and in some places exquisite. And, great regards to Timbaland and Pharrell Williams! JT, thanks for the album!

Delvone Bell February 2, 2018

I freaking love his new sound. It's definitely fresh and different from his last 4 albums! J.T, you killed it again, my dude🤙💯

Justin Williams February 2, 2018

Not impressed. It's a shame because from the moment he announced this album I was so excited. Major disappointment.

Rachel Knopp February 3, 2018

Its... Different... I Love everthing bout Justin .. but this album is taking a bit of getting used to.... Think the more u listen the better it gets..videos help

phoenixblaze23 s February 2, 2018

The only good song is Supplies, everything else just seems thrown together. Sad since he won't have another album for years.

Jad13 February 4, 2018

Don't really like this. I liked Justin Timberlake's older songs but these seem like songs that you make when you run out of ideas

Alissa Nieto February 2, 2018

Ehhh kinda boring. Only a few good songs. Flannel is just awful, I cant even listen to the whole song.

Ricky Lopez February 4, 2018

It is different and I respect artist that looks over their comfort zone that makes them more spontaneous. There are two songs that I'm like yea it's ok but overall it's a decent album.. good work JT.

Donny Fair February 2, 2018

Vocals are awesome. But the Neptunes are all over the place with production. I give a 4 star should have more stream line beats.

neel patel February 2, 2018

Loving the beautiful vibe I get from the music. Lovely album...first album I have bought in years and I'm so glad I did. Can't wait to brag about it on the gram lol

Sha Rod February 6, 2018

The production takes center stage, while JT's vocals play supporting roles - as was the case with The 20/20 Experience. And I am okay with that. What truly disappoints me are the sophomoric lyrics - superseded in immaturity only by Katie Perry's entire music catalog. I definitely get a sense of the pop/r&b/country/folk/funk hybrid he was going for, but I'm not sure I like it... Standout tracks: "Higher, Higher" and "Morning Light".

RJ Dangerfield February 4, 2018

I love this album! The sound is very futuristic in terms of combining genres. It's got pop,r&b, and country all in one album. Certain songs also combine all three songs. Great job JT! This album was defintely worth the wait! :)

CJ Babbs February 2, 2018

I like the approach that he took, no it's not FutureSex/LoveSounds or 20/20. But like he said it's a home based album expressing how he feels about where he's from. Nonetheless it's a great piece of work in my opinion!!! See you May 11th JT!!!

Jennifer Schmidt February 7, 2018

I Love this album!!! I love his fresh swag sound of Pop and R&B mixed in with the Twang of Country. You can hear the sound of Justified on this Album, you can hear Timbaland and Pharell produced tracks, and on others you hear his twist of country sounds.
