The Neptunes f*ck around, with mixed results

by LessThanNick1 , Mar 18 '02
Pros: live instruments, "lapdance", tight genre bending
Cons: weak lyrics
It all started with one beat. When the Neptunes produced the beat for Noreaga’s “Superthug” I don’t think anyone could have predicted the Pandora’s Box it would open up. The Neptunes have been ruling the pop-rap world for the last few years now. Almost...

No one Ever Really Dies- We'll see about that...

by aesopfable Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 13 '04
Pros: Fresh, creative, brave, some brilliant production, relaxing feel and some good subject matter.
Cons: Too much Pharrell, some awful lyrics, some poor subject matter and some bad production.
As I explained on my Clipse review, producers N*E*R*D, or singly Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo are the biggest music sensations in the world right now. They may not be in every headline, but they ...

11 Reasons The Neptunes Shouldn’t Have Their Own Album

by cletta1201 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Mar 16 '02
Pros: It's only 12 songs long and 61:45 minutes
Cons: It's 12 songs long and 61:45 minutes
This review contains some sensitive material that some people might not want to read

I haven’t been this angry about buying an album since Janet Jackson’s All For You or Destiny’s Child’s Survivor. We’re well into 2002...

The Neptunes Rock the Party That Rocks the Body That Rocks the Cerebral Cortex

by repulsemonkey Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 05 '02
Pros: Puts on record what most of us already know: sex is a metaphor for everything.
Cons: It ain't hip-hop, that's for damn sure.
Each track on N.E.R.D.’s In Search Of... rests on a foundation of raw, deep, booty-slappin’ hip-hop that wouldn’t sound out of place in the cocaine-addled final hours of some late-'70s disco. Up until now, the Neptunes (Pharrell Williams...

Hip-Hop's Inner Wild Child

by e-kleptic , May 17 '02
Pros: Colorful syncopated beats combined with a reckless abandon to the shackles of genre stereotypes
Cons: Trademark Neptune beats often follow a dangerously similar format with Pharrel's voice running thin
The Neptunes are pop's village bicycle. Everyone has had a ride from Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys to Limp Bizkit and Jay-Z - and one's first assumption might be that anyone listening to the newly revamped "In Search Of..." risks the danger of...

Outlook: Neptune and Beyond

by vandalz Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 15 '02
Pros: Different Sounds that Make for One Awesome Album
Cons: Some songs don't appeal to anyone
Have you ever heard the sounds of the Neptunes? Oh yeah, you have, at least if you listen to any music that is associated with Pop, Hip-Hop, R & B, or Rock. The Neptunes have been a part of almost any major group in some form or fashion.

Energy cannot be destroyed.

by echo-denver , Oct 24 '01
Pros: An impressive mix of ballads and rock-inspired hip-hop. A very original collection of songs.
Cons: Not every track will appeal to everyone every time.
Hip-hop’s foremost producers The Neptunes (Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams) emerge here as N*E*R*D with “In Search Of . . .”. Inspired by Albert Einstein’s insight that energy never dies but rather transforms, N*E*R*D stands for No one...

Damn! I got tricked!

by konspirator01 , May 04 '02
Pros: $8.99 for some good production and beats, neptune's experimentation is kinda neat
Cons: neptune's experimentation also disappointing to those expecting hip-hop; crappy lyrics; at best, mediocre singing
I was at Tower Records picking up my copy of Blazing Arrow (epinion for that coming soon) when i noticed a display featuring the N*E*R*D's CD for only $8.99. Well, I figured, "What a cheap CD! and hey, the Neptunes make some tight beats, so this...

In Search Of... a Common Thread

by floyd042 , Apr 04 '02
Pros: Neptunes jam out with real instruments
Cons: Wide range of genres may not be appealing to some listeners
Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo, and Shay Thorton (a.k.a. N.E.R.D.) have finally arrived in the United States with In Search Of..., an ambitious re-recording of their "original" studio release.

Masters of Beat

A new sound for two of hip-hop's hottest producers

by minorthreat78 , Mar 03 '03
Pros: Somewhere between total chaos and total brilliance
Cons: Definitely not the hip-hop album hardcore hip-hop heads will want
One of hip-hop's most surprising releases in 2002 was this album by the Neptunes (aka N.E.R.D.), the producers behind such impressive tracks as Ludacris' "Southern Hospitality" and Busta Rhyme's "Pass the Courvoisier (Part 2)". The lead-off single from...

N.E.R.D's invented sound...

by kaypuff154 , Dec 28 '02
Pros: New, catchy sound that will keep you listening to it
Cons: Misleading, nothing like you thought it would be
When I first heard the members of N.E.R.D, they were producing hot singles for rap artists such as Snoop Dogg, Jay Z, and Clipse. This is where my interest in them began. All of their music they produced had really catchy beats, and each song they...

Getting High on N.E.R.D

by raveun2lee1234 , Aug 26 '02
Pros: creative, original, not your run of the mill generic pop cd
Cons: None
If you mix some steely dan,some jamaroquoi, some hip hop and some soul/alternative and this may give u a idea of what and who N.E.R.D is and there sound.

N.E.R.D, are the hot production team called the neptunes, pharrell, chad, and...

B*L*E*R*D

by fastlance , Jul 20 '02
Pros: Good Idea
Cons: Bad outcome
We all know who the Neptune’s are by simply seeing the peanut shaped head in all urban or most music videos known as "Pharrell" Or his annoying heavy "Ahhhhh" adlibs who co produces with his partner Chad Hugo (A true music genius)

But now it...

Look no further

by lucciyou , Jul 19 '02
Pros: It's innovative, versatile, funky, and does not feature many guests.
Cons: Maybe a little hip hop wouldn't hurt
Great cd. Buy it because you like the creativity of their production work...not because you want something that sounds just like it. Buy it because you love hip hop's message, but not for a hip hop album. This cd truly defies any explanation, it is a...
