If you are looking for the best way to experience the album today, skip the risky downloads. Most modern streaming services provide the "Deluxe Edition," which includes additional tracks and superior audio engineering that honors the original studio sessions.

The album is a star-studded affair that showcases Timbaland's reach across genres:

"Carry Out" featuring Justin Timberlake became a massive radio hit, while "Morning After Dark" featured Nelly Furtado and Soshy.

Though it faced the difficult task of following its predecessor, Shock Value II proved that Timbaland wasn't afraid to experiment. He moved away from the "Philly Soul" and "Indian" influences of his early career into a more digital, polished, and global sound.
