    "In My Mind" sometimes settles for the conventional, but overall this one is too hot to drop. [23 Jul 2006]

    Ultimately, In My Mind falters through narrowness of vision. [Dec 2005, p.120]

    The idea that a producer of his caliber can't put together something resembling a likeable LP-- particularly in light of his endlessly amusing Gangsta Grillz mixtape, In My Mind: The Prequel-- is insane. Here, he's shot himself in the foot. Where the mixtape exploded with enthusiasm and wit, In My Mind the album is corroded and ineffectual. Worse, it's predictable.

    i'm not quite sure what the negative critics have on pharrell's first solo album. like others have said, it only gets better the more you listen to it. my fav is "that girl", but this cd is full of great songs, not to mention several other artists, kanye west, snoop dogg, etc.… Expand
