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

    It's an undeniably impressive range of talent and, for the most part, Shock Value pulls off every trick it tries.

    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.

    Definitely not great, even with big singles behind it. Definitely better than a "NOW 69" album. If you boy compilation cds like NOW and all other types, this would be great for you. It's good pop from good artists. Just slightly better than the usual mainstream dribble.… Collapse

    Not very good @ all. A couple of stronger tracks among a lot of really weak, even annoying ones. Very disappointing. I recommend just picking up FutureSex/LoveSounds (Timberlake) & Loose (Furtado)… Expand
