Nothing and no one can ever amount to the incredible mastermind that is TIMBALAND. He's set to release the continuation of his multi-platinum selling album "...Shock Value" with yet another impressive line-up of performers and tracks that will always be recognizable as being some of his best original work.
The album begins with a contribution from TIMBALAND's longtime collaborator Justin Timberlake ("Carry Out"). But what I think are the more interesting tracks start with the appearance from JOJO ("Lose Control") and the out-of this-world rapping debut of Bran'Nu a.k.a. BRANDY ("Meet in tha Middle" and "Symphony" alongside Attitude and D.O.E.). Chad Kroeger (Nickelback) and Daughtry always make whatever song they're a part of exceptional...and "Tomorrow in a Bottle" (alongside Sebastian) and "Long Way Down" (respectively) do not place out of this description. The only song I really have an issue with is the one featuring Miley Cyrus ("We Belong to the Music") ...in my opinion, it doesn't fit with all of the other songs on the album...and as always, Cyrus' voice is too irritatingly adolescent.
A man who has produced SO many hits for various others artists, TIMBALAND shows no sign of slowing down. I really do believe he is one of the BEST producers out there...and I highly recommend "...Shock Value II" as it is one of the better albums released today. I just wish that some of the hinted collaborations with people like Missy Elliott, Beyonce, Jordin Sparks, and Jay-Z could've made the final cut...but I really can't complain. I will say this though...there is a STANDARD VERSION and a DELUXE VERSION for this album. It will come as a bit of confusion when I say that the original tracklist of this album contains seventeen tracks, ALL of which can be featured on one disc. TIMBALAND took the final FOUR TRACKS of the album and put them on a SEPARATE DISC for the U.S edition of "...Shock Value II" ...just in case anyone was wondering what the big hype was.
Songs that I Really Enjoyed from the Album:
• Carry Out featuring Justin Timberlake
