CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Timbaland is already acknowledged as one of music's most inventive and distinctive creators. Yet the artist/producer's forthcoming album, just his second solo album, promises to shock the world. Timbaland Presents Shock Value (Mosley Music Group/Blackground/Interscope) is set for release April 3, 2007. The first single, 'Give It To Me,' featuring Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado. 'My mission is to blow up the boundaries and tear down the limits,' says Timbaland. I'm taking my music outside of the box. I'm not getting away from what I'm known for; I'm just going to a place where it's all about the music, not about the labels on the music. That's why I call it Shock Value--from the artists to the production, it will shock the system. Guests include Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtadio, Jay-Z, Fall Out Boy, Nicole Scherzinger (PCD), Snoop Dogg, Lil' Wayne, Twista, She Wants Revenge, The Hives, Keri Hilson, Elton John and more. This is the explict version. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsA worthwhile purchase Benjamin Norman | Washington DC | 04/04/2007 (3 out of 5 stars) "I'm torn, in listening to Timbaland's new album Shock Value, between being genuinely impressed, and wondering if it was all meant to sound very similar. Part of what irks me so much about Timbaland's productions is that his stuff is so accessible and recognizable, there almost isn't room for the artist to be themself. (Nelly Furtado's "Say It Right", for example) On this album, the beats rule. They are Timbaland's voice, his palette, his paintbrush, his paint...the glue that holds the entire operation together. It is his greatest strength, and I also feel his biggest weakness. Beats are great, but I feel they can only get you so far. Timbo has about 5 radio hits nestled in this album, and some collaborations that will prove interesting in the future. He's discovered a fantastic singer, Keri Hilson, and stuck her in the album three times, once with Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, once with D.O.E. and once with Sebastian. Each song showcases her considerable talent, and I am eagerly anticipating her solo album (as long as it isn't positively littered with Timbaland's beats). "Give It To Me", obviously, is already a hit since it features the vocals of two artists he can claim credit for being "HRN" (hot right now). "Release" is a fast-paced song that just makes you want to move. "Bounce" is a dirty silly song that is almost guaranteed to get some attention, but not because it has any real merit for anything. "Scream", the collaboration between Keri Hilson, Nicole Scherzinger, and himself. "Fantasy" brings up the tail, having a ton of intensity and a cutesy r&b chanteuse named Money. There are some collaborations here that are questionable, like Fall Out Boy, the Hives, or She Wants Revenge. But what seems awkward at first seems almost second nature by the end of the disc. I am glad that Timbo took these excursions into different genres, because it shows a true open mind and a willingness to try new things. I feel that these collaborations could open up interesting avenues, musically speaking, to styles we haven't properly considered in the past. Now we have a reference. "What would happen if we put some hot r&b/hip-hop beats to this pop-punk band? Ah! "One And Only" by Timbaland and Fall Out Boy is what would happen." It's not a bad claim. Again, a large part of me feels like I'm listening to the same song over and over with different singers, so I think Timbaland needs to spend a little less time with the drum machine and more time trying to make the song stand well if those signature beats are taken away. That will show his true lasting power as his own solo artist, I believe." Not a waste of money at all Philip Masiakowski | Milwaukee, WI USA | 06/01/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "Of course, what you think of this album may be largely dependent on your feelings towards songs like "Say It Right" and "SexyBack," since the Timbaland sound you will hear on this album is very much like his previous collaborations. Timbaland does a fair bit of self-recognition, which he deserves every minute of. He keeps the fresh beats coming, and he appears to have discovered a great artist in Keri Hilson. Track-by-track? 01-Oh Timbaland: B (Great beat, decent lyrics) 02-Give It To Me: B (Very good music, awesome performance from Furtado and Timberlake) 03-Release: B (Timbaland & Timberlake both shine) 04-The Way I Are: A (Hilson sounds great and compliments awesome music) 05-Bounce: D (Not bad, but nothing exceptional) 06-Come And Get Me: D (I have the edited version, and it seems like I don't hear that many lyrics. Wonder what that means?:)) 07-Kill Yourself: C (Very intriguing song with good music) 08-Boardmeeting: B (Old school collaboration with Magoo just plain works) 09-Fantasy: C (Catchy and interesting) 10-Scream: D (This track gets annoying after a while--and it's 5:41 long) 11-Miscommunication: C (Great lyrics) 12-Bombay: D (Very catchy--but seems misplaced) 13-Throw It On Me: C (Catchy and unique) 14-Time: D (One of the weaker tracks) 15-One And Only: B (Great blend of rock & hip-hop) 16-Apologize: B (Great lyrics, great music) 17-2 Man Show: C (Not half the nightmare it could've been) There are seven worthy tracks on here and more that do well. None of them stand out as being horrible. Great buy." Great Album...Thats All There Is To It Dave Asky | philly.pa | 04/17/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "Off The Bat Top Tracks:

Basically my favorite songs from the album are mostly the last ones(saving best for last). Very nice production from the timbaland & danja group & their associates. The only track i wasnt really feeling was 6. Come & Get Me, the rest that i did not menton where all great production wise and good vocally. Timbaland deserves a lot of props for his continual excellence in bringing quality to the music industry." |
