    Amazingly addictive album. The beats are amazing, the combinations are fresh and each song is vastly different from another.

    Just what i would expect from a producers album. The beats are massive, timbo raps surprisingly good. It's just fun to listen to it!

    Timbaland is "the beat man". The beats on this cd are just amazing. There are atleast 3 great songs that you can dance to, and then you have all these songs with so many great new talents such as Keri Hilson. Excellent cd, very much recommended!

    It has it flaws, but when he gets it spot on no one can deny his talent. Their are lots of risks which pay off.

    although the rock part isn't very good, this album has many original and absurd tracks. timbaland has always been ahead of his time, as are some of the tracks on this album. don't expect anything from this man, because he will always do the exact opposite.

    Its the perfect album to buy. All the tracks are at least 4 star(Believe me im talling the truth).

    My suggestion is that you first listen to track #18 'Hello'; make up your mind thereafter. There are three or four more songs that are really good but it's a very mixed bag.

    Shock value has 17 tracks and I wish I could say I loved all of them.....but I don't. Tracks 1-5 track 10 and 13-17 are all good tracks, the rest I could have done without but I think Timbaland is great and the beats he has on his album are completely HOT! Standout tracks: Give It To Me, Oh Timbaland, Scream, Bounce, The Way I Are, Time, One And Only, Apologize.

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

    [It] would be more accurately titled Timbaland Presents Slight Confusion or Timbaland Presents an Uneven Mess.

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