When the most exciting producer in pop music himself puts out a CD, the thrill is in the discovery: The world may have already suspected that Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, and a small army of other singers owed 75% of their fame to the stockpile of skittering beats Timbaland built and then graciously set them upon, but here's a chance to prove it. Or it might have been in less welcoming hands. Shock Value is a far-reaching and ambitious disc; a masterpiece, even, in its own way. But it's not at all self-centered. If there's a point being put across here, it's that Timbaland came by your vote as behind-the-scenes musical man of the hour honestly: pair him with Fall Out Boy or the Strokes, and he will not only provide tracks that surprise you by maintaining their rock 'n' roll integrity, he will also convince you that shimmer's role in rock music has, to now, been tragically misguided and miniscule. Re-team him with Timberlake and Furtado (for the near-flawless track "Give It to Me") and he will again trade vocal bites, but they will still be nibbly, not voracious. In a CD full of experiments and puzzles (why is Elton John just piano-playing, not singing? And how did the L.A. band One Republic end up on this disc?) a single truth emerges: Timbaland's taste is impeccable, but his judgment is even better. Shock Value, by virtue of its swirly beats and mesmerizing rhythms, will bring him a smidge closer to the spotlight. But because it's a disc of collaborations, he'll retain the shadowy-genius reputation that precedes him, and that he so richly deserves. --Tammy La Gorce

5 out of 5 stars Major hit-maker finally makes some hits he can call his own..........2007-08-01

Timbaland is lauded by almost everyone as the hit-maker. If you want a radio friendly club beat laden single then seek out Timbaland and consider you're dreams answered. This is made apparent by the recent rise of pop stars Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado who have just blown up lately thanks in large part to Timbaland's infectious beats. So here finally Timbaland steps behind the microphone in order to explore his own vocal talents and let the world see what would happen if he was allowed to make the music he wanted to make. Thankfully he's a genuine artist and didn't just put out another rap album that could easily be mistaken for the countless other no-talent releases year round. In fact with `Shock Value' Timbaland delves into different musical styles and does so with expert maneuvering, delivering a unique and memorable musical experience.

Of course when you pair Timbaland up with his musical soul-mate Timberlake you have instant hit status, and so Timbaland enlisted Justin's talents on three tracks, and those three tracks are standouts. `Give it to Me' also partners Timbaland with Nelly Furtado, a voice that Timbaland helped make a household name. It's a brilliant choice for a first single for it establishes Timbaland's mark while still keeping him comfortable, mostly behind the shadow of the better vocals. `Release' is a fun song but the real gold is found on `Bounce' which teams Timbaland and Timberlake with Dr Dre and Missy Elliot. The beat is one of Timbaland's best and the song in itself will lodge itself in your brain.

Another collaboration that suits Timbaland very well is that with upcoming star Keri Hilson who appears on three tracks as well. `The Way I Are', also featuring D.O.E., has a fantastic beat that belongs in the club. I'm sure everyone has heard this song by now so you know how great it is. `Scream' also features Keri but couples the two with Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger. I don't care what your feelings are about the Pussycat Dolls, that girl has a beautiful voice. Personally out of the three I think I prefer `Miscommunication' but it's a hard toss up with `The Way I Are'. On `Miscommunication' though Keri Hilson really shines and that makes me lean more in that direction.

The remainder of the CD has Timbaland teaming up with random rappers and rock groups in order to create some of the more interesting tracks in hip-hop today. Teaming up with ultra-popular pop-punk band Fall Out Boy on `One and Only' was a brilliant step. In fact `One and Only' is one of the best tracks on the album. The Hives provide some entertaining aspects of `Throw it on Me', but it's `Apologize' that really blows me away. California based OneRepublic is a brilliant band and I just want to take the time to thank Timbaland for bringing their music out for the rest of us to experience. `Bombay' is very satisfying, coupling hip-hop beats with intoxicating Middle Eastern vibes and vocals. Timbaland also reunites with his old partner Magoo on `Boardmeeting' with nice results. It's not the greatest track here, but it's still great. `Time' is different, featuring She Wants Revenge, and it's not quite as successful a pairing as the previous, but it'll definitely grow on you, that's for sure.

Some of his more rap influenced tracks are a little bland, like `Come & Get It' featuring 50 Cent and Tony Yayo or `Kill Yourself' featuring Sebastian and Attitude. It's not that they're awful it's just that their nothing new. They sound like they belong on a less expressive and expansive album, maybe like something done by 50 Cent himself. It's just not up to the standard that Timbaland sets for himself, although the piano beat running though `Kill Yourself' is a nice touch. `Fantasy' is decent, but Money takes over the track and it becomes more or less another pop-diva recording without much substance. I still don't understand the closing track `2 Man Show' featuring Elton John. It had so much potential, and Elton is a master of the ivory keys, but the track is a major disappointment. In the end `Shock Value' is a disc that should entertain and impress anyone wondering what Timbaland has rolled up his sleeve. Here's to his major success. Can't wait to see what he has in store for us next.

3 out of 5 stars Tasty beats however.......2007-07-23

This is the first hip-hop album that I had ever bought and I'm satisfied with it. I thought this was Timbaland's solo album, but in truth only the first track "Oh Timbaland" can be described as a solo effort. As for the whole album you can expect to listen to the unique beats that is his signature.

As genius as he is in creating beats, he is no lyricist or at least a keen observer of lyrics. Take the first four lines into the song "Miscommunication" which incidentally was not written by him as Timbaland could have suggested better rhymes instead of the ones there.

My favorite among his collaborators in this album is Keri Hilson. Her smooth singing voice provided counterbalance to Timbaland's throaty effort, as evidenced in the track "The Way I Are". Unfortunately I don't feel any chemistry between Timbaland and Hilson as the lyrics would have suggested. Timbaland, as charismatic he can be, just don't have the persona for flirting with a 'co-star'.

Another collaborator worth mentioning is Amar, the British/Indian singer on the track "Bombay". Here I'm particularly fond of Timbaland's accentuation of the upbeats, slight syncopation of the downbeats, added with the otherworldly qualities of Amar's Indian singing style.

The rest of the tracks I'm not really fond of. "2 Man Show" with Elton John for example, feels a bit dry and uninspiring. The tracks with fellow hip-hop collaborators I can't really decide as this is, after all, my first hip-hop album.

4 out of 5 stars One problem.......2007-07-21

Timbaland has a talent for making hits, and there are so many potential singles on this thing it's not even funny. But there are a bunch of filler songs in the middle of the album that are disappointing.

There are a lot of good, fun, danceable songs on this CD, it's just that the bad songs really weigh down the good ones. Tracks 6-10 could've been left out quite easily. Since the cd is 17 tracks long, I'm constantly skipping over those songs to get to the good ones. It's just inconvenient.

Other than that, this is pretty good. Like I said before, it's just annoying to have to skip over a bunch of songs.

Favorites: The Way I Are, Bombay, Throw It On Me, Time, One & Only, Apologize

3 out of 5 stars Shocked at shock value.......2007-07-13

Now, I'm not going to say I didn't like the album. I did like it. But, I just do not feel Timbaland let loose enough.
I think he is a wild stallion, but it just felt like something was pulling back on the reins, something was MISSING.
I can't put my finger on it, but felt this album was...Too controlled to offer an SHOCK to me.
I wanted a cut loose RAW BEAT album.
I was satisfied, but being satisfied means the content was just satisfactory. I want to be satiated. I hope another album is to follow this, I really do. I'm addicted to the beats, Timbaland is EXCELLENT for those. I can't get enough. BUT, please next time don't just shock me.
I want shock waves, electricty to the veins. Maybe next time.

5 out of 5 stars Can't stop Tim.......2007-07-09

This album rocks. I love that Timberland teamed up with all different types of artists. Rock this!

Following up his success in helping produce Amy Winehouse's Back to Black, Mark Ronson's second solo project covers a series of mostly British indie-rock songs but with a funky soul remake. The meeting of two styles you ordinarily wouldn't associate with one another makes for some interesting hybrids. The cover of Radiohead's "Just," done with Phantom Planet is unexpectedly excellent but hearing Tiggers and Ol' Dirty Bastard remaking "Toxic" by Britney Spears will probably leave more folks scratching their heads than nodding them. Overall, the balance is positive and should hopefully open up both indie rock and funk fans to both respective genres. In a class by itself is Winehouse's cover of the Zutons' "Valerie," --the best song Paul Weller and Martha Reeves never made. --Oliver Wang

Product Description

A lot has been said about Mark Ronson. Some have called him "a 21st century Quincy Jones," while others know him as one of the worlds finest DJ's with International renown, favored by the decadent fashion cognoscenti, the Hip-Hop elite and anyone in general who likes to party... Now add to that list THE PRODUCER DU JOUR! From his stellar production on Christina Aguilera's multi-platinum "Back To Basics" to his cutting edge contributions on the much buzzed about Lilly Allen album "Alright, Still Back To Black" and the genre bending Amy Winehouse release that's taking fans and critics by storm, Mr Mark Ronson is strutting his stuff, and strutting it well.

With all the production credits for other artists under his belt, he's now turned his attention to his own project, Version, the album the UK critics are calling a Major winner. Version is a beautiful collection of cover songs, re-imagined by Mark. His philosophy on Version was to work with songs he's long loved- while not trying to make them better, he just wanted to make them bounce... From the feel good "Valerie" cover (The Zutons) featuring Amy Winehouse, to the quirky and fun "Oh My God" (Kaiser Chiefs) featurung Lily Allen, to the piece de resistance: "Stop Me" (The Smiths), featuring the soul stirring vocals of newcomer Daniel Merriweather, Version is poised to be the must-have album this summer

I love listening to this cd. The songs are all incredibly catchy. This is my favorite album to play at work. Great fun!

5 out of 5 stars Up a notch.............2007-07-20

Knows whats up. "Stop Me" and "Oh my God" better than the originals.
Ronson kills it.

5 out of 5 stars amazing version.......2007-07-17

Mark Ronson's latest album could be one of the best albums that i have heard this summer. His fresh beats that he mixes with every track are unlike anything I have heard in a long time. Whether it's Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen or Kasabian each and every track has it's own flare. I went to a concert in Manhattan just last week and I am telling you his music is just as good if not better in person. I highly suggest buying this album!!!

5 out of 5 stars Mark's Version of other hits!!.......2007-07-11

Mark Ronson is a DJ/producer, and on "Version", he takes other peoples songs, some hits, others obscure, and does his version using guest vocalists. The general sound is rich in horns, set to a funky, danceable rhythm, and loads of guest artistes on vocals. The album has already hit #2 in the UK.

Lead off single, and #2 UK hit "Stop me" is a lovely remake of The Smiths' "Stop me if you think you've heard this one before" which segues into The Supremes' hit "You keep me hanging on" over Hip hop beats. It features the lovely vocals of Australian Daniel Merriweather

Amy Winehouse (whose brilliant "Back to black" album he produced parts of) guests on the sunny Motown-like "Valerie", which was originally done by The Zutons.

Lily Allen (whose lovely album "Alright, Still" he also produced parts of) guests on the retro funk sounding "Oh my God", a remake of the Kaiser Chiefs song. It is currently in the UK top 20.

Britney Spears' hit "Toxic" is slowed down and almost unrecognizable, featuring vocals by Tiggers and a rap by ODB.

The Maximo Park song "Apply some pressure" is given a slight ska feel, set to an almost marching beat. Vocals by Paul Smith.

Kasabian show up on a funky remake of their "L.S.F", while Coldplay's "God put a smile on your face" gets the big horn section treatment.

Robbie Williams (his "Rudebox" album was also part produced by Mark) shows up on the Shaft-like remake of The Charlatans "The only one".

I like it!!!

4 out of 5 stars It delivers the goods in style........2007-06-18

Mark Ronson's a busy man. He's been producing for Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen and Robbie Williams, yet has still found time to focus on his own studio album.
Comprised of new versions of old classics, it's a very entertaining listen from back to front, featuring the likes of Amy Winehouse, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Daniel Merriweather and Kasabian, all helping Ronson put his considerably fresh and funky twist on familiar tunes.
Highlights include the late ODB rapping to the Britney Spears refix of Toxic, Winehouse making vast improvements on the original with 'Valerie' and Phantom Planet singing an uber cool version of Radiohead's 'Just'.
Impressively suited for a party play through, this is definitely one to pick up for the nearing summer months.
With "Version", super-producer Mark Ronson has set out to prove that pop voyeurism and experimentalism don't have to be bad things using his own unique re-interpretive style.
Hence, he has assembled an album of spectacular cover versions that deliver very alternative versions of modern classics from Coldplay, The Charlatans, Radiohead and The Smiths.
Some listeners will undoubtedly write it off almost instantly as disastrous. Others may take some convincing.
But for many, "Version" is a brave, bold, blast of an album that almost always gets things right.
Ronson, for his part, emerges as a musical artist of the highest calibre -a music innovator whose funk-strewn re-interpretations effortlessly place themselves on the right side of cool.
On the whole, "Version" is a cut above most cover version compilations, as well as a darn fine party album for the approaching summer season. It probably won't impress the die-hard cynics - but for those willing to open their minds, or anyone in search of some expert funk, it delivers the goods in style.
My picks: "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face", "Oh My God", "Valerie", "Pretty Green", "Amy", "Just" and "Toxic".

As with their last hit, Elephunk, Black Eyed Peas' new disc Monkey Business is a joyful cross-genre journey with musical props to hip-hop, rock, folk, funk, and pop. The reason the Black Eyed Peas have audience appeal that crosses over many styles is because the band members are such obvious fans of diverse music. Nowhere is this more apparent than on Monkey Business's high-profile guest list. After Justin Timberlake's contribution to the massive "Where Is the Love" breakout hit from Elephunk, their inclusion of big names once again was a smart, respectful move on the part of the band as well as their guests. "My Style" is Timberlake's BEP foray number two; while the song is funky pop fun, those looking to hear Justin in the forefront are likely to be disappointed, as his vocals are mixed evenly, no sweet soulful solos this time. Other guests of note are Jack Johnson, who cowrote the bling-bashing "Gone Going," Sting on "Union" (sonically inspired by the former Police-man's "Englishman in New York"), while funk legend James Brown contributes to a scorching soul track dubbed "They Don't Want Music." The contribution of female vocalist Fergie--who joined the band partway through their last CD--has raised up considerably on the band's fourth disc, their second as a quartet. Sassily fronting her way through songs like "My Humps," the "Hey Mama"-esque "Dum Diddly" and the first single "Don't Phunk With My Heart," Fergie's melodic contributions make for a record that will likely be heard by wider audiences than ever, making this a truly accessible `hip-pop' CD. --Denise Sheppard

3 out of 5 stars Pretty good.......2007-01-31

I got this a a gift, so at first I was not sure if I wanted to keep it of sell it, as I am not really a BEP fan. In all honesty I know very little about this band, a song or two here and there. I decided to keep it and give it a try, I don't like the popular "hits" that much from this album, but was suprised at some of the really good album tracks. The players are very good on this album. There is a real sense of old school funk here that I really like.
I guess you never know what you will like till you give it a try.

Amazon.com

With A Girl Like Me, the Barbadian teen-queen Rihanna is looking to transfer all claims of royalty to the summertime pop charts. If anybody's going to rule them, she pretty much proclaims by way of "SOS," a song no less irresistible, intoxicating, and all-out cool than 2005's "Pon de Replay," off her debut, she's it. That's not to say this new disc is anything like its predecessor overall. Where Music of the Sun was mostly what its title suggests--a romp through an anglo-friendly island with no sunscreen required--A Girl Like Me is more reflective and a little rueful; you get the sense it was crafted in part to show her range, with executive producer Jay-Z guiding her through it gracefully. "Unfaithful" is a noir-ish testing of the R&B waters, and it goes so well that Rihanna wastes no time skinny-dipping her way into the deep end--"Final Goodbye," "P.S. (I'm Still Not Over You)," and "A Million Miles Away" all betray juicy bits of Beyonce. Back in barefoot bikini-girl land, though--a territory that covers roughly half this disc--the party's still going strong. Rihanna gives dancehall legend Sean Paul a run for his money with the bouncing "Break It Off," and "We Ride" makes you want to roll down the windows and stick your head out the passenger side. Crank it up and keep the sunglasses handy. --Tammy La Gorce

4 out of 5 stars Reggae n Rihannah.......2007-07-25

This is an awesome CD if you love pop and reggae. A lotta of the songs I've noticed have the same beat. SOS is one-of-a-kind though on the cd. I find it's great to relax n chill out to.There are some sad songs though like the popular "Unfaithful" and others such as "Million miles away" "Final goodbye". Hope this helps!

3 out of 5 stars A Girl Like Me - actually 3.5 stars.......2007-07-21

I was pleasantly surprised while listening to this disc - after hearing the first 2 singles, SOS & UNFAITHFUL, I wasn't sure what to expect but this is a terrific offering of pop with a dash of the island sounds so prevalent on her debut album.

I was worried that the label was rushing out another album too quickly and that it would be horrible & filler heavy but with an "artist" like Rihanna, this is proving to be a smart tactic - she is not a great vocalist but the producers & writers she's working with ARE adept at creating catchy singles that top the charts.

In addition to the two singles, I mentioned earlier other standout tracks are: KISSES DON'T LIE - I love the bass played throughout the song; FINAL GOODBYE - I love the guitar solo, she sounds really good on this track; BREAK IT OFF - nice dance track but Rihanna sounds like a guest on a Sean Paul track; PS (I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU) - nice chilled down groove; A MILLION MILES AWAY - pretty spare ballad; IF IT'S LOVIN THAT YOU WANT, PT II - I love the beats used on this track & WE RIDE - light r&b/pop track that makes good use of her vocals.

Rihanna is not a powerhouse vocalist but overall this is a well-produced, fun album that I really enjoy listening to.

4 out of 5 stars Rihanna- A Girl Like Her Is What We Need!.......2007-06-23

This review is a little late since Lil' Miss Sunshine has brought out her third album but thought I'd get it in anyway. Coming off the major impact she had with her debut album Music of the Sun, Rihanna came back at us quickly within an eight month period with her sophomore CD called A Girl Like Me. On this album, it sticks with what made her such a sensation stateside with the dance grooves and party songs. But you can see the transition into more emotional songs and ballads to try and show her vulnerable side. Even though a couple of songs I could have done without, there were moments where she really came through.

With S.O.S. which samples from the 80s song Tainted Love, she had a great opening and hit song to draw to her album. But that only tipped the iceberg. Unfaithful took sometime to grow on me, but you can see that she was making that effort to show off her vocals and that life isn't always a party. A couple of songs that helped to do that even more was Selfish Girl and A Million Miles Away, a song based on a relationship that is on the verge of breakup and can feel each other drifting apart even when they are near one another. That was a splendid song in my opinion. She still also keeps with the Carribean flavor and upbeat feel with her beats and production in songs like Break It Off featuring one of the lead men of dancehall in Sean Paul and We Ride. The song that really did it for me on this CD and made me fall for her even more was P.S.(I'm Still Not Over You). I mean, Wow! It talks of maybe her writing a love letter to an ex and recalling moments in their relationship that she still hangs onto and how she has never really let go and may never will. It may be a true essence of what happens when we let someone that we truly care for and love so much get away, whether more than likely the one that left is the one that will be hurting the most in the long run. Truly amazing song in the way she wrote it, how the beat catches you and how the whole track just flows!

This album in my opinion is much better than her debut CD, which was a instant smash to say the least. As I said, she sticks with what got her here in the upbeat, happy-go-lucky feeling tracks but starts to take a chance in standing out on a limb with some deeper under the surface songs that come from the heart. It's a mixture that start to display what type of talent we may have on our hands. If only they would have stuck to that on her following album a little more... but for this go round, it really worked out brilliantly!

4 out of 5 stars A very good r&b album in a very bad r&b world.......2007-05-20

If you have heard her singles SOS, Unfaithful, We ride and you like them, you will love the album because these tracks are not the best songs on the album.For me two better tracks are P.S. (I'm Still Not Over You) and A Girl Like Me. You also have the good reggae track Break It Off feat. Sean Paul, the other reggae tracks like Crazy little thing called love and Dem Haters are ok.

4 out of 5 stars good offering of r&b/pop/reggae music here.......2007-04-22

rihanna is like the west indian version of beyonce, blending in elements of pop, r&b and reggae/dancehall. I can't wait to hear her next cD, umbrella is a fabulous track that sounds 80's

Album Description

"A fusion of Tigerbeat6's pop destruction and 2ManyDJs' mainstream mash-ups." -URB

"Girl Talk...accelerates beats, distorts textures, pitches up flow, and sets up strange juxtapositions to render absurd the sexed-up aura of hip-hop and dance pop." - CLEVELAND SCENE

"In a time when kids can barely sit through an entire album by just one artist, this A.D.D. mix will keep them sedated and/or spastic." - XLR8R

Girl Talk (a.k.a. Gregg Gillis) is back with his third album on Illegal Art! With each release getting closer to his notorious semi-naked live show, Night Ripper is focused less on beat-fuckery and more on bringing heat to the party. It bangs as a continuous mix packed with wildly disparate Top 40 genres and eras. Current hip-hop hits, soft rock radio standards, party classics, grunge masterpieces, R&B singles, glossy club-shakers and rock anthems are all layered and pieced together into one nonstop celebration of pop and excess declared "a plunderphonics party record" by Mark Hosler of Negativland.

Girl Talk tours regularly and actively participates and collaborates with other "on the verge" Midwest and East Coast artists such as Grand Buffet (Fighting), Drop the Lime (Tigerbeat6), Chris Glover (Interscope) and Hearts of Darknesses (Schematic/Asphodel).

5 out of 5 stars Pop culture lesson........2007-07-05

Night Ripper is a dance album both unlike any other and just like every other. That is why it is so good. It reminds me of what Warhol did with consumer goods and pop icons. Night Ripper is Pop Art at its best.

5 out of 5 stars AMAZING.......2007-01-14

Gregg Gillis dazzles with his rythmic genuis and starts the party that you won't want to end.

4 out of 5 stars Very Different, but Good!.......2007-01-09

This is one of the more different DJ mixes that I have ever heard. The only down side to this CD is that most of the tracks leave you wanting more. Track 5 is so good, that it was worth buying the CD, it is a mix with Notorious BIG and Elton John, it will blow your mind.

5 out of 5 stars it's a good one..........2006-08-30

It's not as good as the ones from 2ManyDjs but it's real close. The same idea is going on here though and it does have it's moments. The only reason I give the nod to 2manydjs is because their mashes and mixes had purpose behind them. The obvious example is mixing Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 with Destiny's Child's Independant Woman.

The mixes here work because of timing, pitch, and kitsch. The only other complaint I have would be that's it packed (imo) with too much rap.

With all that said, I haven't sat still since its been in the player. Very well worth the money to own.

5 out of 5 stars Sounds of the Last 3 Decades.......2006-08-10

I love those late night infomercials for CD packages from Time-Life, you know like "sounds of the seventies" or "AM Gold." I love those infomercials because I don't have to sit through the entire song, I just hear the best parts and it gives me a memory from my childhood. This CD takes that idea a bit further. Not only do I get snippets of songs from the 70s, but there are songs included that were popular last month. All of it is swirled together and it don't stop. I've been facinated with "mash-ups" for quite a while, but this fills all of my want to hear any others. The pace of this disc keeps my attention the whole time. I have been listening to it so much I am a little afraid I'm going to memorize it and it will become predictable. There are some highlights: Notorious B.I.G. mixed with "Tiny Dancer," and my favorite, 2 LIVE Crew "We want some P****" playing over Pavement and Paul McCartney "Silly Love Songs." I love hearing Neutral Milk Hotel counting off at some point. I love hearing Ciara mixed in. M.I.A. sounds great in there at some point too. I don't know who does the song "Kryptonite," but on here it's great. I really hope to hear more from GIRL TALK and I hope it doesn't get popular enough to get pulled, maybe I shouldn't even be writing a review. Maybe I should give it a crappy review, but it rocks!

Black Eyed Peas have at times been accused of sounding too Tribe for their own good, but this time out Will.i.am and crew have consciously expanded their horizons. Problem is, perhaps they've tried too hard. As the title suggests, Elephunk borrows from every single element of funk known to man and (with the exception of the one straight-out rock & roll track, "Anxiety") tries to cram them all into a semi-hip-hop format. While such willingness to experiment is admirable, in this case the attempt comes off as slightly desperate and too diffuse. Elephunk settles itself into a groove when BEP's newest member Fergie's lush girlie vocals are allowed to dominate, as they do on the discofied "The Boogie That Be." --Rebecca Levine

4 out of 5 stars Elephunk? The odd title reflects the group.......2006-11-18

Black Eyed Peas is a group either people get or don't get. I fit into both categories. I enjoyed the somewhat overplayed hit single "Where Is The Love?" but didn't find it engaging enough to purchase the record it was featured on--until I heard their next single "Let's Get It Started." The funk-pop groove sounded excellent and I decided to get Elephunk. Highlights are the aforementioned two hit singles, "Hey Mama" and "Shut Up." The remainder is decent fluff but nothing that lives up to those four likable singles. Unfortunately the oft-odd personalities of each of the Peas' members are so awkward it's hard to like the band as much as the songs themselves. Still, it's a decent album that has some good grooves--but far from perfect.

Album Description

2007 album from the hot DJ/producer, a culture-clashing album that finds 14 classic tracks turned on their head and recreated into visionary floor-fillers. Joined by the likes of Robbie Williams and Lily Allen, the eagerly awaited LP is a musical masterstroke and looks set to be the highlight of 2007. Featuring Dirt McGirt aka ODB spitting verse on Britney's 'Toxic' and Coldplay's 'God Put A Smile Upon Your Face' also getting the once over from Ronson, it's already on heavy rotation across the club circuit and marks the second coming of Britain's most successful ex-pat DJ/Producer. Another album highlight is the soulful, stellar Motown revival of The Smiths' classic 'Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before' that merges into 'You Just Keep Me Hanging On' and features the vocals of Australian talent Daniel Merriweather. Columbia.

Album Details

Ronson Makes a Blazing Return Just after Producing the Hit Amy Winehouse Album "Back to Black" with his Own Dazzling, Culture-clashing Solo LP with 12 Classic Tracks Turned on their Head and Recreated Into Visionary Floorfillers.

Knows whats up. "Stop Me" and "Oh my God" better than the originals.
Ronson kills it.

5 out of 5 stars Stop writing reviews off of one song.......2007-07-10

There's nothing worse than someone who rates an ALBUM 1 star when they've only listened to one song. It's okay not to like something but that's like watching 5 minutes of a movie and saying it sucks. It's great that you love the original song, but you totally missed the point. Remaking something isn't supposed to be copying it, what would be the object of that? The concept of this album is to take previously released songs and rework them in the motown flavor. If you don't like the style, you won't like the album but if you do it's amazing as is his previous cd although it's flat out hip hop.

1 out of 5 stars please stop.......2007-07-02

the cover of the Smiths song is about the worst cover of any song i've ever heard. and that's saying something because it started with some of the best lyrics and catchiest guitar hooks ever written. Mark misses the mark on this version by somthing like a mile. The original is full of humour and sarcasm with hilarious lines like "i love you only slightly less than I used to" and "he broke my knee, he broke my spleen, then he really laid into me." hilarious, full of amazing irony, sarcasm, wit. None of which appears on the Mark Ronson/Daniel Merriweather version on Version. The lines are there but the delivery is laughable, truly laughable ah ha ha ha ha ah ha ha ha ha. The delivery is flat, and in place of emotion is a dire sense of trying (and failing) to come off as sincere. It's a desperate attempt. The only solice is that Morrissey and Marr are, I hope, getting a lot of money in the bank. And maybe some of the suckers who purchase this album will pick up the original and be turned on to pop songs written and performed, with the tounge planted firmly in the side of cheek angst, the way they are supposed to be.
And then what is this awful twist at the end of the song by switching to another great song that has a diametricly opposite meaning to the first. at least they put it in the same key and time signature. but come on, really?
i haven't listened to any of the other songs but if this is any indication, I'd rather "crash down on the crossbar". Speaking of which, what is with the video? The scene at the Asian resteraunt? This is just a little too close to a literal translation of one one of the greatest metaphors in pop music ever written.
And Daniel Merriweather is just creepy looking.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2007-06-04

I absolutely LOVED "Stop Me" when I first heard it, so I was really interested in hearing the whole album, especially after seeing the songs and vocalists. I'm always intrigued by interesting reworkings of familiar songs.

Unfortunately, what sounded so fresh and new on "Stop Me" got really tiresome by the end of this disc since it's the same formula on pretty much every song. The same drums, the same horns, the same tambourine.... Sometimes it's hard to tell where one song ends and the next begins.

There was a ton of potential on this album, but I don't think it even remotely lived up to it.

5 out of 5 stars A tasty smorgasbord!!.......2007-04-26

Mark Ronson is a UK DJ/producer, and on "Version", he takes other peoples songs, some hits, others obscure, and does his version. The general sound is rich in horns, set to a funky, danceable rhythm, and loads of guest artistes on vocals.

Lead off single, and #2 UK hit "Stop me" is a lovely remake of The Smiths' "Stop me if you think you've heard this one before" which segues into The Supremes' hit "You keep me hanging on" over Hip hop beats. It features the lovely vocals of Australian Daniel Merriweather

Amy Winehouse (whose brilliant "Back to black" album he produced) guests on the sunny Motown-like "Valerie", which was originally done by The Zutons.

Lily Allen (whose lovely album "Alright, Still" he also produced) guests on the retro funk sounding "Oh my God", a remake of the Kaiser Chiefs song.

Britney Spears' hit "Toxic" is slowed down and almost unrecognizable, featuring vocals by Tiggers and a rap by ODB.

The Maximo Park song "Apply some pressure" is given a slight ska feel, set to an almost marching beat. Vocals by Paul Smith.

Kasabian show up on a funky remake of their "L.S.F", while Coldplay's "God put a smile on your face" gets the big horn section treatment.

Robbie Williams (his "Rudebox" album was also produced by Mark) shows up on the Shaft-like remake of The Charlatans "The only one".

I like it!!!

A collection of well-known pop tunes, this record documents those ubiquitous tracks that have been played into the ground at nearly every sports facility in the country. Most, like "Whoomp! There It Is" and "Hip Hop Hooray," are undeniably catchy, and other tracks were downright splendid when they first appeared on the scene. Some even credit "Pump Up the Volume" with being a breakthrough for the electronic music scene of the late '80s and early '90s. Still, bringing musical innovation to light is not what the makers of this recording had in mind. It's all about the trashy glitz, fleeting glories, and mindless greed of late-20-century American sports. Revel in its dubious charms, and risk having your brains turn to mush while a permanent grin takes over your face. --Matthew Cooke

5 out of 5 stars A trip back..........2007-05-05

I first heard this mix only very recently, in a long cab ride, and begged begged the driver to let me buy the disc from him. He refused, but let my friend run into his apartment and upload it into his iTunes. I have since bought the disc, and love it soooo much. It's upbeat, loads of fun, yes, great for cleaning the house to. But really, it brings me back to the days of middle school, going to school dances and buying cassette singles with my friends on the weekends...just being care-free and being a kid. I had been feeling nostalgic for those days lately and this disc captures my youth perfectly!

5 out of 5 stars Great for Fitness Classes.......2007-01-26

I'm a PE teacher and my students LOVED doing circuit training to this CD. Every song is super upbeat. It really helped get my classes motivated. I wouldn't buy this CD for general listening music but for fitness it's definitely my favorite.

5 out of 5 stars Whooooooooooomp! Here's the review!.......2005-12-20

Tell-Tale Bonanza's back again!! I'm a total jock if you already didn't know, my resume speaks for itself. This cd is not only great for sporting events, but works well at any social gathering. There's just something that is beautiful about seeing Lupus Fury do the tootsie roll. Let me tell you a little bit about Lupus Fury. You may be wondering how he got such a nick-name, well let me break it down for you... Lupus- is latin for "Wolf" and we all know that he's hairy like a wolf, and stinks like the Cumberland river. Fury- anger, violence, rage. that sums him up right there, the man has 8 restraining orders, and is a registered sex offender (we still laugh about that to this day) So now we know Lupus, a hairy wolf like angered man, don't get near him during a full moon either, he might hump your leg, but he gets more action than teen wolf (thanks to me). Our parties are just a big spectacle, we really do put on a show. When the song "You're Unbelievable oh!!!" comes on,Big Frank will put on a gymnastic routine that will leave you wondering why he wasn't on the olympic squad in 96 (steroids). Chubby Lou is in charge of running the party (there's never a shortage of cheap booze and hot pockets) and doubles as the bouncer, you don't wanna catch one of his famous DDT's, little-known fact, Chubby Lou used to be an amature wrestler (they said he was too fat) and had a stint as Barry Horrowitz tag team partner in 88. Cheese Grits doesn't really have any talent, we just thought he had a cool name so we let him in the clique, but he can juggle, so we get him tanked up and make him juggle by the end of the cd we circle around him and sing along to gary glitters "duh nuh nuh nuh nuh HEY!!! duh nuh nuh nuh!!!!" and so on, he has a look of terror on his face, but it's totally worth it. by that time we settle in, and there's about a 10-3 girl to guy ratio, some of us score real big, whoever is lucky enough to make it to my room, gets to personally here "Gonna make you sweat" by C & C Music Factory. Now that you see the power that this cd holds, I hope you would go and buy it (or steal it from your P.E. teacher, like I did).

I purchased this CD because I wanted a copy of "The Cha-Cha Slide." I listened to a preview of each of the additional cuts prior to ordering the CD, so I knew exactly what I was getting. If you love "The Cha-Cha Slide," you'll love the first two cuts on this CD. But unfortunately, that's all that this CD has to offer. For me, it was still worth buying.

I work in a child care facility and my staff were looking for the words and music for the cha cha slide. They were teaching the children so they could perform it at their preschool graduation. Well let me tell you it was a hit and the parents even joined in.

Ever since that night, the other preschool classrooms wanted to have some fun too and I let the other classrooms listen and dance. My only concern is that I don't get to use it too much because it is always on loan. I wish I had more copies! Thank you for helping my staff keep their children learning fun ways to listen,exercise, share and socialize with others.

5 out of 5 stars Gotta Love Samples!.......2007-06-04

I work at a cosmetics counter and this CD is perfect for playing all day! Its tracks are all fanastic--though, I don't care for "Bounce" much. If you like the songs Timbaland has produced with Nelly Furtado and JT--and pretty much whoever else--you'll enjoy "Shock Value." He collaborates with lots of artists from several different genres of music--and samples Nina Simone and others. Very danceable, listenable and fun. I wonder to whom he refers with the line in "Give It To Me," "I'm a real producer and you're just a piano man." Curious!

Generally I only buy a CD if I like at least 3/4 songs, with this CD I liked Give it to Me with JT and Nelly F. that I had to have the CD. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed b/c all of Timbalands beat are always fresh and new. After a few listens through I really was surprised how much I liked the whole CD. He has songs with everyone from Missy, to Justin, to Elton John, and Fallout Boy. This CD really shows his skills to work with any and all kinds of music and with any and all types of groups.
