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 #1.
I first heard about him when he was featured on a few tracks such as 'Sexy Back' (#1 on 3/9/06) on Justin Timberlake's new album 'FutureSex / LoveSounds', and noticed that JT along with numerous other well known artists were also features on the 'Shock value' album including Nelly Furtado, Missy Elliot, Dr. Dre and Fall out boy.
Thinking that 'Give it to me' would be hthe best track i could'nt believe that every track was as good as or better than this especially;
'One&Only'- Featuring Fall out boy and is a good mix of their style of alternative music with the produsing genius of Timbaland.
'Apologize'-Featuring One republic, who previously were unknown to me, this track has awesome lyrics and despite its quite slow beat has to be the best track on the album
His new track 'The way i are' is the second single of the album featuring Keri Hilson & D.O.E. and is currently the #1 download and is 3rd in the top 10 so it should (and deserves to) storm the #1 spot.
This is one of those gems of an album which is a must buy and should not disappoint anyone as there is a good mix of R&B tunes each with a different direction such as Dance and more rock-like tunes.

I'm not a fan I'm afraid, but I can appreciate why others, like yourself, like him! K xx

as a hip hop head i refuse to believe that the most overated producer of all time produced 'one of the best albums ever' his techno sounding beats annoy me and they all sound the same (see any of justin timberlake, nelly furtado and his own songs out at the moment)
