    Injustamente infravalorado, todo lo que JT hace es simplemente espectacular, a simple vista sigue la misma línea de The 20/20 Experience, pero ahora el sonido es mas desenfadado y fresco. Como dije antes, un trabajo muy menospreciado, lamentablemente no se le da la atención merecida y les dan excesiva pantalla a artistas sin estilo ni personalidad como los inflados de Bruno Mars y The Weeknd.

    Isso não é country JT, tente não piorar suas músicas com Pharrell e Timbaland, se inova cara

    His worst album, and it was so week to be considered as a Comeback after 5 years, he better release his next album sooner and work on it! And I hope he work with Timbaland more

    It's a non commercial album but with great cohesion and some pretty good underrated songs, deserved so much better. Say Something, Higher higher, morning light and montana are amazing

    This album was a disappointment. Probably only two or three good songs which weren't that memorable.

    It is quite uncertain what exactly Timberlake tried to achieve with this Album, he failed whatsoever.

    A very good album though timberlake says that its his most personal album, he just made it for his wife and son, its prettily shown in Young Man, but he didnt actually go out from the form, so at least 7 songs deserve your attention if you see this album.

    With the same album, the album aims. Justin T has been able to reunite his races past and present and this is incredible!

    Maybe it's me, but I feel that Justin Timberlake is beginning to run out of ideas. Unfortunately, it's the reality for the person heralded as the pop prince.

    This not my favorite Justin Timberlake album but I still really enjoyed listening to this album. I especially loved the songs Say Something, Filthy, Man of the Woods, and Supplies.

    An album so poorly produced it is in parts physically painful to listen to. The melding of country/folk and electronic r and b does not work on any level. Timberlake vocals are still good though, and his lyrics are Ok, but the production makes this album unlistenable.

    FutureSex/LoveSounds was one of the best Pop/RnB Albums of the 2000s. And now we are at the point where I can not listen to him for only one song. Sad.. Why doesnt he want to work with Timbaland anymore? That duo was awesome as f...

    This is not Timberlake's strongest effort. NOT a horrible project, just fairly mediocre. Mediocrity is NOT acceptable from an artist of Timberlake's caliber.

    Not a very enjoyable album. I've listened to it all the way through a few times, trying to give it a fair chance, but nothing sticks. The energy of his previous efforts just doesn't seem to be there, nor are any of the usual catchy hooks or dance-ability. We're left with a limp album that doesn't even make much effort to be topical.

    This album is super weird. Did he listen to these songs? Is he just **** around making stuff only he likes? The production is weird.

    Mostly the songs are just not good. I wouldn't say they're bad, just boring and uninspired. I expect hooks from Justin Timberlake. This had none. Lyrics were meh. Just stunning. No wonder they're giving away tickets to his tour everywhere.

    WHEN I heard filthy I was really Excited and the length shorter so I was thinking that he would go back to justified sound.say was good while they while her singles were singles only filthy, say, something something that sauce song were the songs I liked. this I set. th8s album umm even here just in tries to make mainstream music but it’s doesnt turn out well at all.

    Its an album with its highs and its lows. Man of the woods combines pop music with country elements and the result is interesting fro Mr.Timberlake. "Say Something" is a standout track from the album but my favorite is definitely "Higher , Higher " .

    Este es el mejor disco de JT hasta ahora. Justin se desenmarcó del sonido y vestuario característico de la era 20/20 para aparecer con un sonido más auténtico, más personal y menos comercial. Nos podemos dar cuenta que es un artista verdadero al percatarnos que trata de ir más allá, que entrega nuevos sonidos, que evoluciona finalmente.

    Compared to Timberlake's previous work, not as goodm but still a good album that is worth listening to. It took a while for this album to grow on me, but my favourite songs are 'Filthy' and 'Say Something'

    This album is pure fire. He managed to bring all the elements that characterize his roots into his own musical world getting to create something unique.

    This isn't great. It's trying to be too many things at once. There are some real highlights on this album; some catchy vocal melodies and some very nice clean production every now and then, but it just fails to be pleasing to my ears for more than 30 seconds at a time.

    sem sonoridade inovadora, composições fracas e totalmente sem identidade, Justin lançou de longe o pior álbum de sua carreira e, pasmem, do ano

    I get that JT was attempting to blend electro pop and Americana, but, IMO, Pharrell and Timbaland's production don't serve the songs and the songs themselves lack any pop hooks, lyrics, or vocal performances that are memorable. "Filthy" is unlistenable and "Supplies" is dumb. "Midnight Summer Jam" is fun though.

I would enjoy the title track more if he didn't rip off the guitar groove from "Walk On The Wild Side" by Lou Reed. Aside from those, the album is a fair disappointment. If he wanted to be hip and maybe turn in a decent album, he should've gone full Americana and worked with Dave Cobb.… Expand

    Although he’s not really mixing musical genres as originally promised, he’s mixing up some music and lyrics that shouldn’t really go together, which makes this one crazy peanut butter cup of an album.

    Man of the Woods is not an outright disaster but it is a significant disappointment--a record too preoccupied with image, volte face and forced “REAL” to fully engage as a coherent piece of craftsmanship.

    Throughout, Man Of The Woods seesaws brilliantly between pop and country. [Apr 2018, p.116]
