"I'm right here, and I ain't going nowhere"

It's that time again...album review.

Just got the N.E.R.D - Seeing Sounds album and I have to say, I like it every much. It's N.E.R.D at it's finest. Chad on the boards and 'ments, Shay and Pharrell on the mics (on the 'ments as well)...and most importantly, the band behind the music. It's just good music. Arrangements, layers, transitions, samples, originality all encompassed in a dirty dozen track list. As corny as it sounds, it does make you "see sounds". I gve it a 4 out of 5. Enjoy it, because I did.

1. Time for some action - you got that busta rhymes feel at the beginning w/ that note from gimme some mo...the track hits

2. Everyone Nose - single from the album. if you haven't heard it by now, you're sleeping

3. Windows - catchy tune, not really my flav...but still solid

4. Anti-Splatter - this is my shit right here. shit is grimey and bitter. reminds me of Thrasher from the previous album.

5. Spaz - you heard if you seen the zune commerical. shit reminds me of fortified live and then all of sudden, the drums hit you in the face and tells you to get the fuck up

6. Yeah you - the bass is nice on this track. it's soooo smooth. get your girl and chill out w/ her to this one here.

7. Sooner or Later - pharrell at his best...singing

8. Happy - like the title, the track really does make you happy....the tracks starts w/ some power chords and then turns into a more head nodding track throughtout. one of my favs.

9. Killjoy - reminds me of How Does It Feel off of pharrells lp. fast track w/ cow bells and a running bass.

10. Love Bomb - hard drums w/ pharrell singing again....niiice

11. Yeah You - cleannnnnnnnnnnn. it gets your body moving in all the right ways. great rhythm, guitars, lyrics and vibe. one of the best tracks

12. Laugh About It - trying to figure out the rhythm because i swear i've heard it before, but the track is a nice send off to the album.
