I'm almost reluctant to check this out because there are so many Timbo dick riders out there since he dropped "SexyBack." I know so many people fawning over his work that could probably only name ten tracks tops in his catalogue: "My Love," "Promiscuous," "Give It To Me," etc. It's getting a little ridiculous. I've never claimed to be the biggest fan of dude, but I do respect his work. Still, where were all these bandwagon hoppers when he was dropping equal heat for the likes of Missy years ago? Man, "Work It" was as tight a production as anything he's done lately. As I recall he was about to leave the music industry at one point, because he felt under-appreciated.The bottom line is that Timbo is a dope producer. Nobody's denying that. Producers go through 'hot' phases however. Kanye, The Neptunes, Scott Storch, and Dre have all been the radio's 'flavour of the month' in the past. Once people tire of the urban electronica sound people will move on. Same way they did when they got tired of The Neptunes synths and Kanye's samples. In the meantime, I wish some of my mates would cool it with the hyperbole.Nonetheless, I'm sure it's a cool album!

His work with Missy, Magoo, Ginuwine, Alliyah, Bubba was always known.People just realized that he really stepped his game up and took things to another level.
