N.E.R.D. - Seeing Sounds

It's been a while since we've heard from the dynamic trio of N.E.R.D. . Some might say their sound is passe, but for some reason it hasn't sounded so good since their debut 'In Search Of...'. This album doesn't really have any rock-rap tracks (except 'Happy'), but it still sounds like N.E.R.D. . Their beats have really improved just hear the tracks 'Anti-Matter' and 'Spaz'. Although their lyrics aren't the best the chorus' are damn catchy and overall a pretty strong effort.

Rating: Lyrics: 24/40 (Catchy but has room for improvement)

Tunefulness: 43/50 (Crazy beats)

Originality: 6/10 (It sounds like nothing you've heard from a Hip-Hop album this year)

Overall: 73/100 (If you are already a fan pick it up, if not sample a few tracks and decide)

N.E.R.D. - Everyone Nose

It's been a while since Pharrel and his group N.E.R.D. have released a new cd. By the looks of their first single it could be pretty good. With that darn catchy chant "All the girls standing around in the bathroom" it seem's that N.E.R.D. are having fun again. But still, this album could be good or can be horrible. It will be interesting to see which one it is.

Rating: Lyrics: 26/40 (They aren't great but, I like)

Tunefulness: 39/50 (It seems like they go a sort of experimental sound. It works for the moment)

Originality: 6/10 (It's similar to the Roots but a little more fun)

Overall: 71/100 (It's a good start)
