Timbaland, Shock Value, Interscope

Having made a name for himself as Missy Elliott’s right hand man, Timbaland has emerged as one of (if not) THE premiere producers in the music industry. After helming Nelly Furtado’s breakthrough Loose and Justin Timberlake’s Future Sex/Love Sounds albums, his fingerprints can be found on albums by the Pussycat Dolls, Redman and Jay-Z. With the release of Shock Value, Timbaland has once again decided to move to the forefront with his latest solo effort, with a guest list that is as long as the track listing it’s hard to truly consider this a solo effort. Artists such as Elton John, Fallout Boy, The Hives and both of the aforementioned Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake appear. While the album isn’t 100% gold, it does more than sufficiently prove that Timbaland should go ahead and start calling himself Midas.
