Buzzed!
Hello Buzzers, like we said, you do a nice review of the album, and we will post it up. We will do this time and time when we see reaction to a album (sometimes songs) is high, heavily opinionated, or just flat out divisive. Remember, yall are the first to review this album over the net! :)
Here are some of the buzzviews (to be updated frequently):
"Timbaland Presents: Shock Value II
Rating: 8.5/10
Grade: A-
First off, I plan to buy the album on December 8th I was impressed with the overall sound of the album even after all the hype, I'm not gonna lie with all the hype and the tracks that have been leaking as of lately I wasn't really gaining anticipation as much. I was kind've expecting it to be a bust, but I gotta say the album sounds really, really good and there are some gems on this album
Tracks:
1: Intro
Beat is CRAZY!!!, We need it in FULL Tim!!!! Who produced this beat tho Felli Fel or Tim? If this track was longer I would've bumped my rating up to a 9.2/10!!!!
2: Carry Out
Should've been Crazy Girl INSTEAD! But Carry Out is subpar at best. Still catchy tho
3: Lose Control
JoJo sounds grown! Sound is good, catchy track! Who is the guy featured towards the end of the track, voice sounds reaaal familiar, Bubba Sparxx? Good song. Single Quality? Naah
4: Meet In Tha Middle
I LOVE THIS SONG!!! POLOW on a Tim album, you know this song is huge! Would love for this to be released as a single, it's real good! This song itself, gets a 10/10!!!! It sounds good on quality speakers!
5: Say Something
Great R&B record from Tim. I honestly didn't think Tim had the R&B touch anymore, but he proved me wrong on this track. It's still not Ginuwine quality tho but still a good track for Drake, just look at its commercial success so far!
6: Tomorrow In A Bottle
Song is great. Beat doesn't sound as if Chad Kroeger should be on it, but...well he is...I think putting him on the chorus was where he should be, if at all on the track.
7: We Belong To The Music
Will have GREAT COMMERCIAL SUCCESS! Teeny boppers gonna eat this right up! He will attract a whole new crowd with this track. Kind've catchy, quite honestly, no homo.
8: Morning After Dark
I DO NOT like Nelly Furtado on this track. Her verse sounds so thrown into the mix. She sounds out of place on the track. SoShy and Tim sound good tho. Love the breakdown at the end of the track.
9: If We Ever Meet Again
I don't understand all the hype behind this track. Song is okay, single quality, maybe. It has potential to have radio success. I just don't like it as much as the hype behind the track was speculated to be. The beat towards the end of the track sounds great tho.
10: Can You Feel It
My 2nd Favorite track on the album. This song is soo catchy. Techno/Trance vibe to it, what can I say, I dig it! Great song, single quality, I would love to see it get radio play!
11: Ease Off The Liquor
Great club record. Heard it the other night in the club. Sounds great on loud speakers with people dancing to it.
12: Undertow
Nice, mellow, Fray track. Sounds good in higher quality than the leaked version a couple of weeks ago. I like this track a lot because its so different than what Tim usually would produce.
13: Timothy Where You Been
Jet, cool, Tim, cool. Laid back vibe to the track, ILL. Tim rapping, eehhh well it is what it is. Cool that he gives us a run-down of his legacy and successful career. Attitude wrote good lyrics for Tim to try and rap, as usual.
14: Long Way Down
Sounds good. I'm gonna put this out there after listening to this track I DISAGREE with Daughtry's statement where he said they should do their next album with Timbaland. Naaaah Daughtry stick with what ya'll doing now, no need for change.
15: Marchin' On (+Timbaland's Drums)
Great song WITH Timbaland's drums. Altho the OneRepublic (Timbalandless) track sounded good. But Tim's drums go great with the song. Not Apologize material but we can expect that kind've caliber that song is and will always be a classic.
16: The One I Love
Sounds better in higher quality. Keri sounds great on the track. Wish Chris Brown's verse was included I think his verse fit the track. D.O.E. always delivers! Thats the dude!
17: Symphony
Aaaaaah finally, an old Deliverance-esque track from the early 2000s. Sounds great, good to hear that Tim still has that capability. Bubba Sparxx should've been on this track. Attitude sounds awesome on the track, I am still waiting on that Attitude debut album T.I.M. I need that! Heard a few cuts from it, and my anticipation for the album is so high." - SShearer

"I'm a BIG TIM FAN but I think the hottest songs are the ones that leaked (Ease Off The Liquor) (Say Somethin'). On this album, when Tim takes the dance route it's pretty pleasing to the ear. The rest is pretty average. If you haven't heard the leaks you may really enjoy the album. Musically he usually changes the game, but not so much this time around. The rock tracks kinda go wrong after a couple minutes. It's still worth buyin', was expectin' more shock though.
Woulda been nice if Beyonce had recorded the Keri & Jay Z track "Rumors" (She Prob Feel Some Kinda Way About Keri's Diss). It woulda been a hot record to include though. Would love to hear Tim collab with Niki Minaj, Teyana, Muffy, Melanie Fiona, Rihanna, M.I.A agian, Kelis, Some of the orginal crew would be nice too... Playa, Missy, Tweet ,Ginuwine, Magoo. Nicole. 702... Somethin' Unreleased From Aaliyah or even a sample woulda been HOT!!!
BUT I MUST SAY...
BRANDY DID THE DAMN THANG!
(Sounded Authenic/Not Forced)
(Meet In The Middle, Symphony)
Worth A Listen (Just My Opinion)
Only commenting on the songz I liked and those that hadn't leaked prior to the album leak...
-Lose Control feat. Jo Jo
Hot Beat/Catchy Melody/Sing-A -Long Track/Jo Jo sound good as usual.
-If We Ever Meet Agian
feat. Katy Perry
Love It! /The Dance Side of Timbo/ Love How The Beat Changes Up!
-Can You Feel It feat. Esthero & Sebastian
Hot Dance Record/ This Album's "The Way I Are"
-Where You Been feat. Jet
Sounds like somethin off of Bubba's"Deliverance Album/ Country Feel/ Nice Laid Back Joint
-Marching On feat. One Republic
Dope/ Vocals are hot!/Slight Dance Feel" - Timothy

"1-Intro- a very promising beat.an appetizer to a new kind of dish.
2-Carry Out- what are u gonna say,besides its JT & Timbo at their best. the flow is a killer.
3-Loose Control- seems a bit out of place,but its a good listen. jojo can definitely carry the track.
4-Meet Me In The middle- oh lord,where has tim been all these years.one of the best beats
in the album.brand new if u get what am saying.hottttttttttttt
5-Say Something- this is probably one of the weakest tracks on the album. i expected a lot from Drake and Timbaland.
6-Tomorrow In a Bottle- only timbo can make chad kroeger sound this good.another explosive track with an amazing production.one of the best in the album
7-We Belong To The Music- i have never thought i'd be listening to miley and actually enjoying it. great track.
8-Morning After Dark- awesome production.this why timbo is the best.
layers and layers of pure awesomeness.
9-If We Ever Meet Again- at this point timbo seems unstoppable. katy brings it at a new level.
music will never be the same again.
10-Can You Feel It- i can definitely feel it.this track is insane. where does Timbaland come up with these beats? awesome,awesome,awesome.did i mention it is awesome.
11-Ease Of The Liquor- each one of ur ears will literally start dancing,and ur waist will follow.
a club smasher.blazing hottttt.
12-Undertow- definitely the next apologize.yes i said it. simple,but genious.the fray and esthero rock it all the way. not ur usual timbo sound.astonishing. this should be a sure hit.
13-Timothy,where have you been- where were you timbo?thank god ur back. an awesome guitar driven melody,that will have u singing along as if u were in a trance.
14-Long Way Down- Timbo rocks like he has never rocked before. this is what alternative is,and not what it should be. this is something different.daughtry never sounded like this.bravo.
15-Marchin On- a remix for the original one republic song.the original song is one of my favourite on the album.honestly the remix has its good aspects and bad ones.timbo made it too fast.may have added too many spices that may have overexcited my senses. i think the origina had its flaws,but so does the remix. they should've met somewhere in the middle. is there a glitch at 2:55,or is it just me?
16-The One I Love- another great dance track that should keep u dancing for a while.
definitely better without chris brown.
17-Symphony- Literally ending with a bang.sizzling and will burn you. this album is definitely better than SV1. timbo holds nothing,except Crazy Girl. all in all,the best album in the market.no,its the best album this year.
rating 9.7/10.
please support timbo and buy the album." - moon1283

"1: Intro: CRAZY ASS BEAT!!! the perfect prelude for carry out! Definitely gonna click the repeat button... 9.5/10
2: Carry Out: Classic JT/Timbo The beat is great! They both take it to another level 9.5/10
3: Lose Control: Super great song to just jam to! The melody works perfectly and JoJo is the artist for the song. THE ARTIST SOUNDS LIKE TOO $HORT!!! 9/10
4: Meet Me In The Middle: Brandy is Brand New! Dfklajdfjklawekl! Timbo goes classic on this one. Brandy does her thing and then goes all out! Definitely doesn’t sound like her at all. Like it! 8.5/10
5: Say Somethin: One of my favorite tracks of the album. Drake does his thing through singin and rappin and then Timbo works magic with that sample..it leaves me in a trance!! 9.5/10
6: Tomorrow In A Bottle: The voice is frickin cool!! The artists could have sounded way better though! Chad was himself; I’ve never been fond of his voice but it works somewhat. One of those unique tracks that mixes rock and pop. 8/10
7: We Belong To The Music: Thought it was weird at first. Then it grew on me. And now I like it!! Fml hahahaha totally different and chill 8.5/10
8: Morning After Dark: I went vampire and already sucked the life out of the song hahaha…72 listens hahahaha. Great song 9/10
9: If We Ever Meet Again: The beat is totally chill. Katy sounds great with Tims autotune! Never knew she was this good!! 9/10
10: Can You Feel It: oh wow this song is so in tune with what I imagined this album would be like. Timbo took it to another level here!! Esthero is fucking hot on this song!! 9.5/10
11: Ease Off The Liquor: awesome ass song!!! Its off the richter!! 9.5/10
12: Undertow: this song could have been better. To me its one of the weakest songs of the album. Its still taking me some time to get used to it and ive been listening to it ever since it leaked. 7/10
13: Timothy (Where Have You Been): At first this song seemed boring..THEN IT FUCKING BLEW MY MIND!!! Theres something about it that makes me just stand back and say wow to the beat and it’s the perfect song where Timbo shows his credits and resume for what it has always been = genius!! So far this is gonna be the song im gonna listen to for life! TIMBO FOR LIFE!!! Btw..i don’t understand the part where the jet guy sings that she cried in the kitchen?? What?? Haha someone explain lol. There was talk of Melody Thornton and if she was on the album this would be the song! 10/10
14: Long Way Down: Daughtry is amazing on this song!! Definitely one of my favorites!!! 9.5/10
15: Marchin On: I honestly think that 1R just shipped this song to timbo and he like literally remixed it.. which I don’t like as much as how he could have transformed this song. But the song was one of my favorites on Waking up and is furthermore one of my favorites on SV2 9/10
16: The One I Love (Maniac): the ONE track Keri was on and she murdered the track! Klasdjfake! Although the beat wasn’t as aggressive as the other tracks it was still good. Needed some Missy. DOE was arright. 8/10
17: Symphony: This song is an alright song. It could have been better but I still love it. Attitude is my shit! DOE and Brandy did well. Im likin Brandys new side XD 8.5/10
Missing:
Crazy Girl should have been on the album
Talk That should have been the album
Needs some James Fauntleroy & Missy E
I give the album 9.5/10!!! Definitely one of my favorites!!!" - haveacow21
