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

    He is annoying, simple as; his repeated ego-stroking irritates like a mosquito bite on an already sunburned forearm – it only adds to the pain.

    Timbaland has revealed himself to be a crass, stupid, venal prick who is pretty much talentless outside of production for other people.

    This isn’t the place for Timbaland to try any new tricks and what starts off as something quite thrilling rapidly loses its impact over the course of the album’s 19 long tracks.

    A long collection of awful ideas and recycled ideas in the absence of an Idea.

    This album is great. To this day, every song is still fresh. To me, at least.
