In their hyperkinetic hands, even integrating an acoustic standup bass with electronic beats seems perfectly natural. [20 June 2008, p.66]
-
Production superstars The Neptunes get back to penning their own tunes – with highly impressive results.
-
Thematically starved, Seeing Sounds is nonetheless a sonic feast.
-
A 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.
-
To be fair, there aren't any real clunkers to be found on Seeing Sounds and lead single 'Everyone Nose (All the Girls Standing in Line for the Bathroom)' and album closer 'Laugh About It' are perfectly serviceable Neptunes tracks, but only two tunes, 'Spaz' and 'You Know What' are very visionary.
-
They undoubtedly still see sounds others only dream of, but sometimes that vision is a little clouded.
-
Keep trying N.E.R.D., you’re not even close to blowing us away here.
