Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/LoveSounds
September 8, 2006
Critic Score
70
21 reviews

FutureSex/LoveSounds isn’t the album I hoped or predicted it would be, and it also isn’t the future-pop many will claim it to be. But it’s a lot like Justified in that it’s a solid collection of expertly produced pop songs whose flaws will be devoured by its almost guaranteed string of hits.

8.

Beyoncé - B'Day
September 4, 2006
Critic Score
66
19 reviews

Whereas Beyoncé’s debut was accomplished in its diversity, albeit a sure sign of a new solo artist trying to find her voice, B’Day sounds like the album “Crazy In Love” initially forecasted.

7.

Adem - Love and Other Planets
September 26, 2006
Critic Score

We Are Scientists - With Love and Squalor

3.

Regina Spektor - Begin to Hope
June 13, 2006
Critic Score
75
24 reviews

There’s a fearless, uninhibited confidence to Spektor’s voice, not to mention a delightful whimsy to her music, that sets her apart from artists like [Fiona] Apple.

2.

Jóhann Jóhannsson - IBM 1401, A User's Manual
October 30, 2006
Critic Score
81
7 reviews
The album gives you the sense of hearing something truly ancient being married to something very modern and present.
