Free Music Review: Perfect Fusion...
Hit: 5 Stars

I don't even know where to begin in reviewing this album. I have listened to it countless times already, and I've never grown tired of it. I will definitely admit that when a friend of mine first lent it to me, I was not instantly hooked as many people say they were. But I let it play a few times, and in less than a day I couldn't stop listening to it.

I started liking N.E.R.D. after developing a strong love for bands like Jamiroquai and AIR--bands that have always proven themselves to be fearless, and unafraid to experiment with new and different sounds regardless of what the reaction of their listeners might be; ultimately that is what I have grown to appreciate N.E.R.D. for the most. Sure, their lyrics aren't always as profound as the world's greatest poets, but that is the point. As they say themselves on their website (www.n-e-r-d.com), this is an expression of their lives and their personal experiences as translated through music. Whether they felt like lashing out on the government, professing their love to a girl, being bold and daring at a club, recovering from a hangover, or watching two girls make out--it's all in here.

The best advice I could give to anyone reading this, besides emploring you to buy this CD without hesitation, is to give it several CAREFUL listens before you ask yourself what you think. With each spin, you will hear things you didn't hear before: syncopated bells carefully placed at certain points in a song, subtle improvised piano playing in the background, thick bass playing that bubbles up intermittently throughout certain tracks, spacy sound effects that speak in response to the vocals, and countless other details. The more your ears adapt to the innovative, carefully orchestrated Neptune sounds, the more the CD will become your own. After really experiencing this album for all that it is, N.E.R.D. has become one of my favorite bands of all time.

Specific tracks to look out for: "Things Are Getting Better," "Run to the Sun," "Baby Doll, "Am I High," as well as the most popular single, "Lapdance."

If you like this album, look out for their sophomore project, Fly or Die, due out in stores on March 23, 2004. Their first single off of this album titled "She Wants to Move" is already out.

In Search of Poster

Terrific debut from electronic/hip hop group N.E.R.D. (which stands for No One Ever Really Dies and is a side project for The Neptunes) whose single 'Lapdance' feat. Lee Harvey, Vita & Kelis. 2001.
The electro-powered grooves of the writing-production team the Neptunes have abetted fine-to-great tracks by everyone from Jay-Z and Ol' Dirty Bastard to Britney Spears. On their debut as performers, they display an irresistible knack for hooky tracks rooted in the eclectic listening habits they developed while growing up in the multiracial Virginia Beach, Virginia, neighborhoods they still call home. Fusing album rock and rap more forcefully and convincingly than Kid Rock or Durst-style aggro bands (the latter of whom they seem to lampoon on "Rock Star"), N.E.R.D. whip up a creamy yet slammin' mix. Main men Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo coax apropos guest shots from Kelis (the get-your-freak-on "Truth or Dare," the sexiest thing here aside from the ménage-a-wow plea "Tape You") and a handful of up-and-coming members. The live instrumentation that replaces the machine-tooled tracks of an earlier import version of In Search Of retains the tunes' syncopation while rendering it palatable for less eclectic rock fans. While not a commercial blockbuster on the order of many of their clients' discs, this venture is nonetheless one of 2002's standout releases. --Rickey Wright
