Biography

There are many lessons that come from age and experience, and when one discovers such a thing, one is compelled to broadcast it to the world. This is that. Sometimes those declarations sound like the cantankerous frustrations of cranky old men. But while this piece of writing you find in your hands does indeed center on one very important lesson, it will come with none of that “Back in ... Read more in Amazon's N.E.R.D. Store

Product Description

BBC Review

N.E.R.D. (which stands for Nothing Ever Really Dies) is the public face for hip hop producers Pharrell, Chad and Shay aka The Neptunes. If you haven't heard of them yet you will have almost have certainly heard something they've worked on. Jay Z, Mystikal, Kelis, ODB, Mary J Blige and Noreaga are amongst the many that have had The Neptunes treatment. With five years experience behind the desk, working with some of the scenes biggest players there is no doubting their credentials; these guys are the real deal.

Musically inventive with a healthy sense of humour, N.E.R.D. have produced a great hip hop record. Production wise these guys are so distinctive. Fusing their beats with a cool, electro-industrial funk as well as elements soul and rock In Search Of... provides a new slant on a sound where so many jostle for space.

By their own declaration, the first single to be released from the album, "Lapdance", attempts to raise political awareness amongst the youth by drawing a parallel between strippers and politicians. Whether this has been achieved is debatable but that said this booty shaking anthem has fast become a dance floor staple.

Much like the album in its entirety, the lo-fi "Stay Together" is a testament to the music they love, the force that bought them together in Virginia way back when. Hip hop would be a very different place if it weren't for The Neptunes, all those years behind the scenes have honed N.E.R.D. in to the full package and now its their turn. Large and in charge. --Christian Hopwood

5.0 out of 5 stars In Search Of 26 Jan 2003
By S CHARLES
Format:Audio CD
This album is amazing. It covers Hip-hop, rock, rare groove, and old soul plus nu. The tracks "Tape You" and "Run to the sun" are my favourites but "Brain" and
"Stay Together" are a close second.
OK, If you've listened to anything produced by NERD (neptunes) previously (its impossible not to have)you will be given the wrong impression by this album. NERD's own style and flavour are slightly different to what they produce as they are producing with the artist in mind. However, if you love the above styles of music and want something different NERD is for you.Listen hard to it, give it some time and you will love it. From a true fan xx

4.0 out of 5 stars An improvement over the original release! 17 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I was a big fan of the Neptune's production work before I bought the original version of this album, mainly from the strength of Kelis' debut, which was as much their success as it was hers. So when I heard that they were recording their own album, I was quite excited.

On first listen to the album, I was generally quite disappointed - only really Lapdance and Truth or Dare sounded like the sort of stuff they did before. But up on listening more to it, it definitely grew on me more, and I generally find there only to be a couple of duff tunes (Brain and Provider are particular offenders).

I pondered on buying the rereleased and rerecorded version of the album, because some reviews I had read said that they thought the original version was better, but I decided to get it anyway.

One of the first things that struck me when I first listened to this was that it sounded more like a live album - kind of like how Kelis' band sounds live. To me this is what makes the new version better.

The new sounding approach does wonders for Truth or Dare an Am I High, and while it isn't completely noticable on some tracks it still gives them an added bit of dimension.

Would be a 5 star if they had ommitted Brain and Provider, but you can't get everything in life. At least they got rid of the sex noises on Tape You - not that they personally bothered me, but it was embarrassing when I was listening to it and my mum would walk into the room!

5.0 out of 5 stars N*E*R*D is an album for all tastes! 8 July 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
N*E*R*D (No one, Ever, Really, Dies) consist's of 3 members Pharrel Williams, Chad Hugo and Shay Thornton. Pharrel and Chad alone are known as the Neptunes, which today pose as the most successful hip-hop production team ever. Over the last 5 years they have produced songs for the likes of chart toppers (Jay-Z, Mystikal, Backstreet Boys), thuggish hip-hoppers (Noreaga, Ol' Dirty Bastard) and eclectic performers (soulstress Kelis). And just recently finished work with longtime superstars (Janet, Mary J Blige, Babyface, Usher) and alternative ska icons (No Doubt). And thats just the Neptunes. Now introducing N*E*R*D,brings you the great album IN SEARCH OF...This album mixis everything from hard hip-hop beats to black psychedelic pop to classic rock to new wave, it is something completely original and will bring an unforgetable new sound to the music world. So look at the back of some of your old albums to see if the Neptunes produced any of the songs which im sure they did and that alone will make you want the N*E*R*D album. IN SEARCH OF is a clasic and will be known as one of the greats so check it out!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Neptunes sound, at it's highest caliber.
This review is for the original electronic release, not the rock version.
