 Timbaland is a genius! Oct 16, 2008
I loved all but one track on this CD...it is very rare to find an album with so many great songs. While they all share a similar tie to the techno mixed with hip-hop, the CD still boasts a vast array of different styles: fast, slow, heavy bass, masculine, feminine...I just can't say enough good things about the songs.
I think the people who will enjoy this CD the most are the ones who listened to techno in the 80s, but enjoy today's hip-hop just as much.
Before I bought this album, I bought Loose...afterhearing both albums, I am convinced Timbaland will go down in history as one of the greatest producers that ever lived.

New Definition of Rap & Hip-Hop Aug 28, 2007
I'm going to go out on a limb say this is the greatest hip-hop record ever. The singles have already reached out to more people worldwide than ever imaginable. An array of musical styles is represented on Shock Value: Rap, Hip-Hop, African, Blues, Latin, Techno and even New Wave. Timbaland still doesn't lose the listener with his serious hip-hop direction and vocal message. 2007 has been a great year for hip-hop with ridiculous "big-pimpin" hits from Jay-Z and Usher stepping down on the charts. Many new platinum artists like T-pain, Akon and Timbaland are taking over, breaking new grounds with high quality recordings.
Gotta Love Samples! Jun 03, 2007
I work at a cosmetics counter and this CD is perfect for playing all day! Its tracks are all fanastic--though, I don't care for "Bounce" much. If you like the songs Timbaland has produced with Nelly Furtado and JT--and pretty much whoever else--you'll enjoy "Shock Value." He collaborates with lots of artists from several different genres of music--and samples Nina Simone and others. Very danceable, listenable and fun. I wonder to whom he refers with the line in "Give It To Me," "I'm a real producer and you're just a piano man." Curious!

 Timba-"Shocked" May 14, 2007
Generally I only buy a CD if I like at least 3/4 songs, with this CD I liked Give it to Me with JT and Nelly F. that I had to have the CD. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed b/c all of Timbalands beat are always fresh and new. After a few listens through I really was surprised how much I liked the whole CD. He has songs with everyone from Missy, to Justin, to Elton John, and Fallout Boy. This CD really shows his skills to work with any and all kinds of music and with any and all types of groups.
