An amazing album non stop excellent tunes its as good as in search of and much better than fly or die. Nobody can say this album is rubbish as every other album out this year does not come anywhere close to the geneis of N*E*R*D.

A really fun all-around listen. Some weaker tracks but some real dope bangers and smooth stuff thrown in.
Robert F gave it an8:
This album is not as bad as the rating states, in fact windows and anti matter are crazy. This album is like the drunken master of rock.
Adam S gave it a9:
An excellent album. Well worth purchasing. N.E.R.D. have evolved into something qute different and after Pharrels not so excellent solo venture I am glad this album is what it is. Pick it up and turn it up!
Danny L gave it a10:
The most inventive and ambitious album a minded hip hop/alternative rock group could do, period!
Jeff G gave it an8:
The first five tracks are club fodder with an added bit of individuality. They beat mainstream hip-hop, but not by much. The second half of the album is great. These tracks, especially "Yeah You," "Love Bomb," and my favorite, "Sooner or Later," feature great harmonic progressions. Anyone looking to find great lyrics from NERD would be more successful getting a glass of water from a stick. It's a weird, drugged-out side project in nature, and no one should expect literary profundity here. I like NERD for their songwriting abilities and their attitude toward crashing our concepts of genre into one another constantly. If you're not into this sort of thing, you won't be into NERD.
Al D gave it a6:
I am somewhat disappointed after listening to this album a few times. There are some excellent tracks (Spaz, Anti Matter, Everybody Nose) but then there is some nonsense that wouldn't be acceptable from cutting-edge artists. NERD will quickly retreat to the excuse "we made this music for ourselves and our fans" but that is no excuse for some of the filler in this album. Fly or Die was so perfect that this album seems like they needed a reason to get the band back together again.
