    Shock Value is a far-reaching and ambitious disc; a masterpiece, even, in its own way.

    Shock Value doesn't feel as random and indistinct as many albums by producers using all-star lineups do. [19 Apr 2007, p.62]

    This lumpen, bloated, boring album is as much of a let-down as any of Timbaland's other "solo" works.

    Timbaland is the title, listening to this album is the equivalent to getting a piece of timber and repeatably smacking yourself in the head with it.
