Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 15–16

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Some sexist imagery among all the sexy imagery.
  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    The album as a whole is pretty much all about sex. Sexy lyrics in the popular song "SexyBack" include something about getting whipped "if I misbehave," all delivered with a wink.
  • Language:

    Some four-letter words that will be offensive to many parents ("motherf--ker," for example).
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    A couple of references to drinking.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About FutureSex/LoveSounds

Parents need to know that there is some strong language (a few "motherf--ker"s) and whole lot of sexual innuendo and steaminess here. In fact, the CD is pretty much all about sex. The song "SexyBack" has a very steamy and stylish video to match.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what it might be like to be in a boy band and then strike off on your own. Would it be liberating or scary? Is there something to be said for finding safety in limits? How hard do you think Timberlake is working to make you forget he once looked as innocent as Joey or J.C.?

    I rate this title off for age 17 and give it 1.0

    Bad for anyone that lives or breathes

    Guess you don't have to write good songs to get music out can't you people do any better than this

  2. I rate this title iffy for age 11 and give it 3.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language

    There's really only 2 songs on this whole album really listening too. The sexual references are way to strong, but otherwise, the songs are alright.
