Free Music Notes for Timbaland Presents Shock Value
Free Music Review: Very strong album!
Hit: 4 Stars
This is the best of Timbaland's three albums. Everything all clicks, especially The Way I Are and songs with Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent,Dr. Dre, Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado and others. Timbaland's always challenging himself with funky numbers here. Even his own label's artists have cool flows and rap styles. The one song he did with Elton John is remarkable. He went all over the map with artists on this album and it all fits.Free Music Review: Money well spent!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of his beats since Aaliyah's One in a Million (1996). Over 10 years later and he still has me bumpin' to some awesome beats! I found that I loved Justin Timberlake's CD and enjoyed other tracks he's produced as well. So I broke down and bought Shock Value. I can say that I love it immensely! I love his style. All of these tracks could be put on the radio and be instant hits. He has a nice range of guest artists as well. In a time when people put out 10-12 tracks max on their albums, I gotta say I'm loving that he gives us 17. What a bang for your buck indeed! Timbaland rocks. Brilliance indeed! He layers his music so well and changes it up throughout the track too. I can't get over how much I'm loving this cd. Free Music Review: Timbaland Presents Shock Value

I originally purchased this cd because of the tracks featuring Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado. I am glad that I did because I found that I enjoy most of the other tracks as well.

Free Music Review: 2-1/2 stars -- It's shocking how bad this album is
Hit: 2 Stars
First things first: people don't seem to understand that Shock Value really isn't a solo album from Timbaland; it's a compilation album with songs produced by him that sometimes features him; that's why the album is called Timbaland PRESENTS Shock Value, not simply "Timbaland - Shock Value". Anyway, the last time we heard from Tim "by himself" was almost ten years ago when he produced the compilation Tim's Bio: Life From Da Bassment. Tim used his stellar beats as backdrops while the verses were spit by the most popular artists at the time, like Nas, Missy Elliott, Jay-Z and a few others. Now that Tim has seen a resurgence with his new beats for artists like Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado, he tried to do another compilation album. But if you think Shock Value is just as good as Tim's Bio, think again.
To say that the only good songs are the singles wouldn't be telling the half of it. Well, actually, aside from "Give It to Me" and "The Way I Are", OneRepublic's "Apologize" is good, as is "Fantasy" (sung by some woman called Money). And "Scream" (with Keri Hilson and Nicole Scherzinger) is tolerable. But everything goes downhill from there.
What's surprising is that a lot of the R&B joints are the most disappointing. "Release" is a filler track that supposedly features Justin Timberlake (because I don't remember hearing him in the song), and "Miscommunication" (with Keri Hilson again and Tim's brother Sebastian) is ridiculous. But the rap songs are even worse, especially "Bounce" with Missy and Dr. Dre; and the song features JT's chorus: "Bounce like your a** got the hiccups" (who the F wrote that?). And "Bombay" sounds like a bad remake of "Indian Flute", complete with Indian vocals (which Tim himself probably doesn't even understand).
Speaking of that, Magoo shows up for the ridiculous "Boardmeeting", and as evidenced from Under Construction Part II (don't ask me why I listened to that), he sounds better than Tim does, but the song still falters because, well, remember how on "Cop That Ish" he completely jacked "I Know You Got Soul"? Well, here he rips off "The Breaks". And while I'm on the subject of wack emcees somewhat shining, Tony Yayo actually outshines Tim AND 50 Cent on "Come and Get Me" (but the song still sucks).
Tim also tries for some rock collaborations on here. "Time" (with She Wants Revenge) is okay, but the Fall Out Boy-assisted "One and Only" is an extremely bumpy ride, and "Throw It on Me" (with the Hives, of all people) never should have happened. Basically, if you want to hear a really good compilation of Timbaland and company, then just throw Tim's Bio back in for a trip down memory lane because I can't find a more accurate title for THIS album than Shock Value.
