SeeingSounds.

After being backed up with numerous new releases. I am back with my CD Reviews. Yay! ;-)

Artist/Album: N*E*R*D / "Seeing Sounds"
Genre: Now, can we really specify their sound into ONE genre? I don't think so.
Guests include: No guests, only Pharrell, Chad, and Shay

N*E*R*D is back at it again with their new release, "Seeing Sounds." This is definitely going to be a fan favorite. N*E*R*D brings their classic sound with a concoction of refreshing, illustrious sounds. From beginning to end, the album places the listener in Cloud 9 and consistently leaves them their throughout the entire album.

"Seeing Sounds" opens up with the song, "Time for Some Action" which places you into some sort of circus with the sounds floating. Pharrell opens the album in this song explaining the moment he began 'seeing sounds.' Then, the beat drops and your mind slips into a hypnotic bass and drum beat where Shay and Pharrell go back and forth in their rhymes describing their scenarios to their 'lover.' Shay explains it best when he says, "Don't u mistake this ma this is not love, It's lust, No cuddles and hugs, This is for floor and rugs." "Yeah You" is about an obsessive lady friend who after one moment together with Pharrell, she begins to blow up Pharrell's phone, and as much as everyone explains to her that there is nothing there...the words go in one ear and come out the other. One line says "I bet you heard this song wanna know what I'm talkin bout...You!" This line implies that the girl is in denial. "Happy" is a song about finally getting over a relationship. In this song, Pharrell states that he was played as a dummy, but if glad that he now realizes that she is the dumb one for losing him. (She must regret it now).

Overall, the album is great; definitely not a disappointment. ::Some foreign accent lol:: So go and buy it chea?!
