I am excited to do an album review from a producer that I have followed now for about 13 years. So here we go:

Timothy Mosley aka “Timbaland” has released his third solo album called “Shock Value II” throughout the U.S. today through Blackground/Mosley Music/Interscope Records. SVII is an evident follow up to his last successful album Shock Value that reached platinum status. One thing for certain is that he used once again a majority of artists from all genres which include:

DJ Felli Fel
Justin Timberlake
Jojo
Bran’Nu (Since when did R&B artist Brandy start rapping…it’s not bad but it’s not her?)
Drake
Chad Kroeger (Lead Singer from Nickelback)
Sebastian (Timbo’s Brother)
Miley Cyrus
Nelly Furtado
Soshy
Katy Perry
Esthero
The Fray
Jet
Daughtry
Keri Hilson
One Republic
Attitude
D.O.E

Apparently I purchased the 13 track album but some stores are also selling it as a 17 track (Deluxe Edition) for a higher price, but will it be worth the extra dollars?

“Shock Value II” Tracklisting (Items “bold” are the recommended tracks):
1. Intro ft DJ Felli Fel
2. Carry Out ft Justin Timberlake
3. Lose Control ft Jojo E~Notes: A definite pop song
4. Meet In Tha Middle ft Bran’Nu
5. Say Something ft Drake E~Notes: Love love love…did I mention that I “love” this track?
6. Tomorrow In The Bottle ft Chad Kroeger & Sebastian
7. We Belong To The Music ft Miley Cyrus E~Notes: I don’t know if I hate it because it’s Miley Cyrus or because it sounds too kiddish.
8. Morning After Dark ft Nelly Furtado & Soshy
9. If We Ever Meet Again ft. Katy Perry E~Notes: I’m still debating on this track. Sounds like something Diddy would do.
10. Can You Feel It ft. Esthero & Sebastian E~Notes: The beat is on par = )
11. Ease Off The Liquor E~Notes: A definite club mix
12. Undertow ft The Fray and Esthero E~Notes: Another one of my favorite tracks
13. Timothy Where You Been ft. Jet
14. Long Way Down ft. Daughtry

So YES purchasing the Deluxe Edition is definitely worth the purchase (which I will be returning my 13 track to Amazon.com very shortly for the D.Edition). Overall there are only two songs I’m not feeling so this is an actual good thing…no great thing. Christmas has come early!!!
