| The trio, N*E*R*D, step out with their third release Seeing Sounds pushing the envelope of hip-hop. Lead by Pharrell, the Neptunes' completely produced the album and did not miss a beat. "Time For Some Action" is the lead song with a simple looped bass guitar to compliment the whispered hook. Just when you would think that the repetitious sound gets boring the beat changes with high pitched keys to add that signature Neptunes sound. Picking up the pace with the double timed "Everyone Nose (All The Girls Standing In The Line For The Bathroom)" has the perfect contents with chants and hook on to the smooth bridge. Blending sounds and styles of past genres, "Windows" has a 70s feel with the instrumentation. The simi-rock guitar riffs on "Anti Matter" adds a rough edge to this album, better yet the group's image. "Spaz" contains muffled vocals to highlight the two toned instrumentation. Passing on life experiences, N*E*R*D captures a somber dose of reality on "Sooner Or Later". Looking on the brighter side of things on "Happy" has a live feel with the production quality opposite that of "Kill Joy". "Love Bomb" has a well coordinated orchastra arrangement that ignite the chorus. The one-two kick on "You Know What" gives this nearly disco tune a groove to dance to. Closing the project off with "Laugh About It" reclaims their signature sound style with drum patterns and keys. In search for something different and or beyond todays Xeroxed styles, N*E*R*D gives a taste of the future and the past respectively without compromising artistic creativity. |

| I was actually anticipating this album more than the Carter III whitch I felt over shadowed NERD's return to the music after 4 years. I took me a while to fall in love with this one unlike Fly Or Die, but when I did I could hardly keep it out of rotation in my ipod. It may not have been the best CD of 08 but it did definitly bring something new to the table. |

| I am a big NERD fan, and this album was just so-so. There are a few good tracks on the album, but unless you are a hardcore NERD fan, I would pass... |

"Seeing Sounds"?--as in synesthesia? Okay. We'll just go with that, though I have to say that Pharrell's lyrics don't exactly evoke that particular brain anomaly. But who really cares when the music is this good? I, for one, don't.
"Seeing Sounds", considerably more upbeat than its marvelous predecessor, "Fly or Die", is also considerably less political, dealing more or less with personal relationships and their inevitable disjunctions. Technically more proficient, it explodes with an infectious and frenetic energy that's impossible to deny. So rambunctious and noisy at times, "Seeing Sounds" evokes what I can only describe as a carnival-like atmosphere. More specifically, Pharrell has come up with a nifty little formula for injecting a healthy dose of pop (and simultaneously changing gears) right in the middle of a rap tune ("Everyone Nose", "Spaz", "Anti Matter")--seamlessly accomplished. He continues to push his gargantuan song-writing ability to its very limits, when he could simply kick back and maintain the status quo.
When juxtaposed against "Fly or Die", it's easy to see that "Seeing Sounds" has made some sacrifices. For instance, it lacks the exquisite beauty of some of the former work's more mellow tracks. (Strangely enough, the highly danceable "Laught About It" is "Seeing Sounds"'s prettiest song.) However, it makes up for that omission with outrageous beats, phenomenal rapping (especially Shae's), and an eclectic array of tunes that will be almost impossible to wear out. |
