Advantages: some great tracks to dance to, an eclectic mix of styles and collaborators Disadvantages: a couple of dull 'uns
I'm not necessarily a person who instantly runs out and buys an album on the strength of one song but I HAVE been a big fan of many Timbaland-produced tracks in the past, from classic Aaliyah tunes to the more recent ones he has done with Nelly Furtado or Justin T . . . AND after hearing "Give it To Me" I knew I had to give the album a spin and see if it was worth the hype I'd heard about it. And within the space of one listen I was hooked - it is ...

...Album Review...
1. Oh Timbaland
This contains a piano intro which is taken from a Nina Simone track. This track then features a thumpind drum beat and some funky guitar licks. This is a great intro to the album and gives a taster of what is to come from the rest of the album.
2. Give it to me
This starts with "is it going, is it going, i don't know" This has a thumping beat that knocks through ...

Advantages: 'Apologise', 'The Way I Are' and 'Give It To Me' Disadvantages: some are just terrible
Timbaland has a knack for turning everything he touches to gold recently - he has garnered international attention for his work with Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake and others.
Now he releases something of his own, an album of collaborations produced by himself. Overall the album is good, there are some absolutely fantastic tracks and great potential singles, but there are also a few turkeys aswell.
Here is my track by track break down:

Shocktastic! Review ofShock Value (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Timbalandby
lisacallow
Advantages: Edgy, variety, different. Disadvantages: The Fall Out Boy Track is just a misfit!
Shock Value, pretty aptly named actually, but one hell of a creation.
Timbaland, never even heard a song where he actually put more effort into the vocals than into the production of an album in it's entirety. For surely that is what he is known best for.
I recently reviewed P Diddy's latest album, and am a bit slow on the uptake when R'n'B had it's heyday in the 90's, so forgive me for being a bit awe-struck by some of the stuff I'm discovering ...

Advantages: Brilliant music all the way through Disadvantages: None !!
I loved a couple of Timbalands songs, including The Way I Are & Apologise never thought about buying the album untill we were on a long car journey and wanted a new album so went looking for Timbaland as i knew i liked a couple of songs already. Took a while to find it but when i did i couldn't be more pleased with it.
I love nearly all the songs that are on this album and it has hardly left the car CD player since i bought it. I would definately ...

Advantages: Every track is awesome Disadvantages: N/A
As a new-commer to the producing genius of Timbaland, i had no idea what to expect from this album except for 'give it to me' which had been released prior to the album release and reached #1 on the 15th April 2007.
After founding a new record label, Mosely Music Group (MMG), in 2006, the music industry has been gretly impacted by Timbaland with him playing a vital role in many artists new albums such as Nelly Furtado's album 'Loose' which reached ...

Advantages: great listen and full of originality Disadvantages: few weak links =S FALL OUT BOY = S
TIMBALAND! In my eyes one of the greatest/most talented producers of all time. Every artist he works with brings out his best qualities as he brings out theirs. it is fascinating how a man can have such power over a song and make you listen to it multiple times OVER and OVER again.
Track listing:
1. Oh Timbaland - Timbaland
2. Give It To Me - Timbaland & Nelly Furtado/Justin Timberlake

Advantages: Variety of guest artists and some very catch, fresh songs! Disadvantages: Some songs sound very similar to each other.
