I was waiting for this CD for a while now, I finally got it. The Beats as usual is amazing, but there are some tittles which I couldn’t like, such as “Release” “Bounce” and “Bombay”. In Bounce Dr.Dre does an OK performance, I mean it wasn’t at all his style and it felt like he was an amateur rapper trying to cut it to the industry.

What caught my ears in this CD and at the same time I felt that I was strange to this album is the verity of genres that Timbaland sailed with this CD. In other sense Timbaland was trying to show case his talent and let everybody know “what ever he touches, turns to gold”, and it did. A lot of pop lovers would love to get their hands on this CD, but for those who were looking for R&B sweet beats that he made back in the days, or the Hip-Hop beat that makes you “flip flop” won’t bother much about the CD.

Highlight:

“Release” and “Give it to me” are nice, but they are not what am looking for, they are more pop.

“The way I are” it’s an amazing song, yet it sounds like it been done before, it sounds like Justin Timberlake’s songs with some of the Madonna flavor in it. Nothing new in it; But the performance of Keri was amazing as usual.

“Come & get me” I thought I wont like this song, but I think its an ok song; its way much better than bounce.

“Board Meeting” I love magoo’s style in Rapping,

“Kill yourself” I don’t have to talk about the beats. I was waiting to hear Sebastian and he sounds a lot like timba but I think he has a lot to offer.

“Fantasy” I loved the rhythm to this song and the beats were something, in some parts Money sounds like Mya; “

“Scream” Keri Hilson and Nicole in one song, this is amazing, the beats cant be more Timbalicious.

“Miscommunication” Keri and Sebastian, the song is more like Nelly Furtado and Justin’s style, I couldn’t like the song but I loved Keri’s performance in this.

“Bombay” Simply he is trying to reach the Asian audience.

“Throw it on me” Bouncing beats with rockish style on it, the perfect beats to dance on or rap on. Fantastic BEAT, couldn’t like the performance thou.

“Time”, I heard this from Either Oblivious or Nab’s, its not what I like. Alt. Rock I guess, or somewhere there.

“One & Only” Now this track has an 80ish style plus Fullout boy has an amazing vocals, I so loved this song, Alt. Rock. Bouncing beats.

“apologiaz” I heard this song from Either oblivious or Nab’s, this song needs me to be in a certain mood to love it, somehow I kind a like it! Strange thou, I didn’t like it the 1^st time I heard it, but the beats are getting interesting and one republic is somehow cool.

“2 man show” Elton john and Timba the perfect duet. A great pianist collaborating with the best producer, although Elton doesn’t sing in it, but the way he played through out the song made it sound good, am not a big fan of his songs, but I love his tones.

I was waiting to hear Keri Hilson and Sebastian (Timba’s Brother) these two artists would sell platinum in my opinion; they are amazing in few words.

Plus I would’ve loved Ginuwine to be in one of the songs there, it would have been an amazing song in my opinion, as for now I don’t have a favorite song but I liked the album a lot.

The album worth buying, 4.5/5

Timbalicious the beats are!
