Here's what I wrote for class:
"Third time’s the charm for hip-hop trio N.E.R.D. The boys are back with Seeing Sounds, an explosive album consisting of their usual mind-boggling beats, catchy melodies, and not- so- impressive vocals from lead man, Pharrell Williams. Synesthesia is both a neurological disorder that causes people to see sounds as colors or objects in their mind and the inspiration for the title. Perfectly named, this album feels and sounds like a colorful and layered arrangement. From beginning to end, this album demands attention. Sounds forces the listener to become completely enchanted with an array of strong drums, grooving horns, and several other refreshingly unrecognizable sounds.
The first single, Everyone Nose, is a mind-tripping jazzy track about the uses of cocaine by rebellious girls. On Windows, a song reminiscent of the Beach Boys, Pharrell sings about watching a girl through her window every night. Never big on lyrical content, -
Sounds is all about the actual music. Anti Matter, the standout track of the album, is peculiar with its electric guitar, thumping bass, and chorus line of an angry woman yelling, “You punk bitch!”
Released four years after their Fly or Die album, Sounds takes another stab at delivering music with the capability of being as popular as the music The Neptunes (the group’s production name) creates for other artists. The album is not lyrically impressive, but Seeing Sounds is a producer’s dream. N.E.R.D. has officially arrived."
i think it's pretty cool
