In their hyperkinetic hands, even integrating an acoustic standup bass with electronic beats seems perfectly natural. [20 June 2008, p.66]

While Seeing Sounds is a marginal improvement on N*E*R*D's second album, and a massive leap forward from Pharrell's damp-squib of a solo record, it doesn't quite reach the heights of (either version of) their debut, let alone the pick of Pharrell and Chad's production work for other people.

60A few club chants ("You jump around like you ADHD! ADHD! ADHD!") and heavy beats crop up throughout but, in the main, N*E*R*D ironically struggle to break out of their own defined anything-goes freedom on what's just a solid record.
