Creativity is pretty important with so many people able to record albums with nothing more than a decent piece of software and a microphone plugged into their computer, and there's enough originality here to give Timbaland a few more hit singles. The vocal work keeps an edgy enough sound to make sure you won't be hearing this in trendy mall clothing stores, but the purely instrumental pieces had intros that had me wishing they would cut the foreplay and give me something to move to. Worth the time to find and listen to? Definitely. Worth your money? Maybe, but I wasn't sold on first listen.
