Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

When the most exciting producer in pop music himself puts out a CD, the thrill is in the discovery: The world may have already suspected that Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, and a small army of other singers owed 75% of their fame to the stockpile of skittering beats Timbaland built and then graciously set them upon, but here's a chance to prove it. Or it might have been in less welcoming hands. Shock Value is a far-reaching and ambitious disc; a masterpiece, even, in its own way. But it's not at all self-centered. If there's a point being put across here, it's that Timbaland came by your vote as behind-the-scenes musical man of the hour honestly: pair him with Fall Out Boy or the Strokes, and he will not only provide tracks that surprise you by maintaining their rock 'n' roll integrity, he will also convince you that shimmer's role in rock music has, to now, been tragically misguided and miniscule. Re-team him with Timberlake and Furtado (for the near-flawless track "Give It to Me") and he will again trade vocal bites, but they will still be nibbly, not voracious. In a CD full of experiments and puzzles (why is Elton John just piano-playing, not singing? And how did the L.A. band One Republic end up on this disc?) a single truth emerges: Timbaland's taste is impeccable, but his judgment is even better. Shock Value, by virtue of its swirly beats and mesmerizing rhythms, will bring him a smidge closer to the spotlight. But because it's a disc of collaborations, he'll retain the shadowy-genius reputation that precedes him, and that he so richly deserves. --Tammy La Gorce

shocking (2007-08-10)

timbaland does not lie with his album title shock value. When I listened to this two bit, soon to be in a bargain bin near you,wheres the punch line comedy CD piece of toxic waste,I was shocked. I was shocked at how terrible this paperweight that will only collect dust keeping my old school notes in place was. This is a comedy cd that will make you cry.

[3.5]--It's not a bad album but it lacks in certain areas. (2007-06-23)

This album comes across as the culmination of the work Timbaland has been working through on Furtado and Timberlake's discs creating a trilogy of sorts. It is a good album in its own right, with a feel very much like a highly refined yet still edgy mash-up in the manner of Jay-Z and Linkin Park's 2004 topper. As a listen to this I found it funny that the some of songs I thought I would like - end up being my least favorite, while the songs that I thought I would hate end up being my favorite. Songs like "Bounce" was highly anticipated, but didn't deliver. Dre's verse is entirely too short, and quite meaningless, then to be followed up by Justin Timberlake - it just didn't mesh well. "Give It To Me" gets old real quick, with annoying vocals by Nelly, an on-going droning beat that rarely changes, and conceited lyrics by Timbo and JT. Great for the club, I suppose. "Release" is a throw back to JT's album. "Boardmeeting," "Way I Are," "Oh Timberland," "Throw It On Me," are pretty decent but is easily forgettable. In terms of collaborations this is a good CD. Tracks like "Time" with "She Wants revenge" and "Apologize" with "One Republic" stand out on the CD as indications that Timbaland really can do whatever he wants, and makes something sound good to the followers of whatever genre he chooses to play in. If you liked Collison Course and any of Timbaland's recent work heard on the radio this album is definitely worth your time and money. If you have found most of it annoying then purchase the tracks you like and avoid the rest but I guarantee that you'll find at least one song to respect on here.

Decent. (2007-04-06)

This CD is pretty good.although out of the 17 tracks, i only listen to about 7 of them often.which would be my favourites of the CD:-Give it to Me-The Way I Are-Bounce-Come and Get Me-Kill Yourself-One and Only-ApologizeTimbaland needs to make a few songs in the future on his own though, the only song that i preferred his verse over everyone elses was "kill yourself"All in all, a good CD, and i kind of hope "apologize" will be the next single. But timbaland isn't really in that song, so i doubt it.

A Confusingly Addictive Journey (2007-03-31)

Chances are that if you've listened to any form of American mainstream music within the past few years, you either know of Timbaland or have heard his sound. Producer to the stars, Timbaland has been the defining sound in the music industry for just about a decade, creating unique sounds for artists such as Aaliyah, Justin Timberlake, and Missy Elliott, as well as a host of others.Shock Value presents Timbaland with another chance to get his voice out there. Even during multiple attempts at a successful album, Tim took to shadowing on tracks that he'd produced... and, now that the songs he's making are hits (since when haven't they been?), Mr. Mosley's giving us a chance to see his personality up close. The CD pretty much has an original sound, but if one listens closely enough, he or she should be able to notice similarities between a few of the tracks on this compilation and what's been heard on Justin Timberlake's FutureSex / LoveSounds. The beatbox in "Apologize" evokes memories of "My Love", the 'yeah' heard in "The Way I Are" may remind you of "SexyBack", and "Time" just screams of the "I Think She Knows" interlude. Other than these three, you probably shouldn't be concerned that Tim's losing it or biting off of himself (even though he may perhaps be, to a certain fraction of a degree: it's nothing important).The tracks sound so different from each other that you may be convinced that they're not all from the same CD, or from the same time period. Of course, that's provided the versatility of Tim and his collaborators. The artists range from Elton John to Dr. Dre; and, from The Hives to 50 Cent, youll probably be captivated by most of the songs here (for only two minutes, perchance). Some of the tracks may be able to especially attract your attention. From "Bounce" one may get a vibe reminiscent of Ginuwine's "Pony". The beat behind "Come & Get Me" sounds very familiar to something the good doctor might have come up with himself. And, speaking of the music, Tim seems to be deconstructing some of his beats after all the words have been said and, it's an interesting insight into how it's all layered together. I'm sure there's a lot more to be analyzed, so I'll leave this one argument.Tim himself pretty much sings and raps about the same things: one, his beef with producer Scott Storch; two, 'taking it upstairs', or making it 'bounce'; and, three, about music. But, if you've listened to Diddy's release, Press Play, then it's likely you'll know the feeling that the show's beginning when Tim steps to the side. No discredit to Mr. Mosley, but the beats he puts out are just there for others to sing (or rap) over. Matter of fact, they seem to have been produced with this little thought in mind. And, it works. Believe you me, no other production team (he along with Danjahands) this side of New Jersey has the power to gather the artists and make the beats to make a collection like this work.Though, I can't help but feel Tim didn't use his connections to his greatest advantage. Justin Timberlake sounds oh so unbecoming, and Sir Elton John fails to utter a single note. On top of that, the artists for whom he may have made his most significant hits do not appear: for one, Jay-Z seems to not have been able to make the release. Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley and Nate "Danjahandz" Hills (remember that last one) did an excellent job on production, and, the final result is stunning, though not death-defying. I imagine that Timbaland will attempt another compilation, based on the success of this one. And, hopefully, he'll come harder, because I'm upset. I feel disappointed at the edit, although minor, that was made to the version of "One & Only" that was originally heard before the CD's release. I am vexed as to why "Fantasy" made the final cut, even though Tim really didn't have anything to do with it. And, I'm perturbed because some of the songs run longer than they should have to.My final verdict: nice try, but it's all over the place. Is it rock? Is it pop? Is it rap? If you're looking for consistency or a noticeable difference in production elements, I'd prefer you buy someone else's CD. This one's good to dance to, but in the end, it feels like a mix that one of your friends might have thrown together. The topics are truly all over the place... from sex to killing to music and back to sex... and, the variety of artists is too great (or perhaps not great enough; this is an issue of which I am still not sure). It might just be a bit too befuddling and/or monotonous for some. But, this won't hinder you from enjoying it.- Fh
