Had some good songs. But a 3-star, 3.5-star at the most.
I give him props for trying to experiment a bit, but most of his tries outside of his usual sounds sucked. All of the Timbaland records were garbage, sounded like joints from Shock Value 3 or something. "What We Talkin Bout" and "Hate" sucked IMO (though What We Talkin Bout sounds a little better to me now). Sort of felt like he was going for that Kanye-esque stadium/multi-genre sound, but wasn't that good at it. I thought he executed that much better on Watch The Throne.
But "Thank You," "Already Home," "D.O.A.," "Run This Town," "So Ambitious," "Empire State of Mind," "On To The Next," all dope.
Album would've been 4 stars if the Timbaland songs were gone, and if he'd included "Brooklyn (Go Hard)" and "History."
