The new album is taking a bit longer to sink in, but I think it sounds great. Never listened to Justified all the way through. I think I should probably do that.
My favorite is definitely Futuresex/Lovesounds. I personally think his style blended well with Timbaland's production techniques.
Just for comparison, I thought Chris Cornell's style did not blend well with Timbaland's production style at all. His album Scream was a huge disappointment for me. That album became more of Timbaland album than a Chris Cornell album. I think a little subtlety on Timbaland's end would have produced better results.
Side note: According to wikipedia, Justin Timberlake also produced some of Scream. Meh...
I'm not sure what else JT has produced, but I would think that he would probably make a decent producer.
