N * E * R * D are back ', and how! After a very good debut "In Search Of ..." (2001) and a mediocre "Fly Or Die" (2003), bringing Pharell Williams, Chad Hugo (also known as the super-producer duo The Neptunes) and Shae Haley with their third album "Seeing Sounds" their versatile sound cosmos on a great common denominator. A great album it has become. Varied, exciting and never boring. The three process in the 12 new tracks all their musical influences. Here is hip-hop, the first single "Everyone Nose", in addition to rock, z. B. "Sooner Or Later" or "Happy", next to a modern soul, "You Know What", and pop, such as "Windows". Only Prince has brought it back in the 80s with his albums from a so entertaining mix of different styles into a very own sound. "Seeing Sounds" 2008 is no longer as pioneering as the Prince albums, twenty years ago, but that will no less great. Pharell once said: ". The Neptunes are what we do, but with N * E * R * D, we show who we really are N * E * R * D is our life". So right I could not yet hear 'not up to "Seeing Sounds"
