RayWAug 16, 2005Well Since you guys like Rock so much then why don't you make all rock music instead of being in rap video's fags and don't have gold teeth if your a rocker

AndrewWDec 27, 2004Catchy poppy hip-hop that is generally hit or miss between songs. This album definitely does not carry with it any deeper message but blasts you with riffs and bouncy beats to divert you from this notion. A solid party album!

NseEJul 26, 2004Wow, what a brilliant cd. effortlessly catchy and cool. Sounds like they had as great a time making it, as it is to listen to. Strong contender for cd of the year. 'Drill sergant', 'The way she dances', 'Thrasher', 'Maybe' are just a few of the highlights of their rock-funk-R&B hybrid. Get it!

DJChubbyChubbsJun 1, 2004I would give it a 8.2 out of 10, since the CD has about 3 songs i dont like. The Neptunes make hot beats, though.

RandyLMay 6, 2004Impressive but slightly all-over-the-place. While most tracks are impressive they certainly are of different moulds. I cant imaging one person sitting down, listening and liking all of the tracks on 'Fly Or Die', but ive certainly enjoyed some of the tracks very much

ThunderrateMay 1, 2004Extremely strong, yes! The Rap-Rock sounds and the powerful combination of West, Williams and Hugo really makes me smile. Well, it only lacks a little spice... Come on, the rock side is excellent (Lenny Kravitz, Joel & Benji Madden) but not enough R&B!

petariApr 27, 2004i totally agree with mark f. fuckin' great album to have good time with it. as far as i'm concerned i listen to it more easily than i did with "in search of" only song that makes me lil' sick it's "jump" but rest rules.

ttApr 26, 2004rock and roll doesn`t get any better than this. funny thing is, the albums tarts working as a full record only after 3rd or 4th time of listening. it all becomes glued and flawless.

TikitaRApr 20, 2004First of all THE NEPtunes are bangin 4real if they weren't why have they produced and made sooooooo many beats for other artist ask urself that. If they were as boogji-wack as others might say why are competeing labels willing to spend millions on the talents of a production trio 1.5 mill$ record deal more than what u simple wrongfully critical ppl have !!! USE UR HEADS

ShawnA.Apr 2, 2004Big Disapointment, i loved their first album but this didn't fly for me, it crashed.

meloMar 30, 2004Ok maybe it's not as good as In Search Of... but it's like michael jackson's Bad following thriller the album's still good and one of the most original albums out right now give them credit for trying something new and expanding their horizons instead of sticking to the same formula and coming out with the same album like a lot of people are doing now a days. keep it real NERD

RobinJMar 30, 2004I don't know, but I am loving this cd. I went into it with an open mind since i didn't hear their last cd. This is my favorite cd at the moment.

NatGMar 29, 2004Like all great fusions, this record will confound purists on all sides. Not since the young Prince has anyone so skillfully welded the big bottom of funk to the wiry torso of metal.

-
JCMar 29, 2004Obviously not as good as In search of... But just OK. It's missing a little bit of the first album funk and now songs really get you going the first time you listen to them except maybe she wants to move. The album finishes strong though with maybe, the way she dances and chariots of fire. PLus, the hidden tracks are good enough to be album materiel.

DustinBMar 29, 2004It gets this high of a rating b/c it is different than a lot of other music and there is several touches of creativity. However, different doesn't always warrant that it is going to be good. Other than a couple of songs it was hard to really feel the beat and get into what they were trying to accomplish on the song.

Q MagazineIt's often fascinating only in the details. [May 2004, p.110]

The whole album is put together so oddly, almost haphazardly, that this works better as a collection of moments than as a whole.

Listening casually is OK, as you can get by the annoying Pharrell and enjoy some of the silly retro groves. But pay any degree of actual attention and there are problems.
