Thread where we listen to N.E.R.D's In Search Of...

Still my favorite album from 2002.

 

I wish Pharell had died after recording it.

Great album. Although the Neptunes can still yield a good backing track every now and then, by and large their glory days are behind them, so I agree.

 

Tape You and Brain are probably the highlights. I love the synth line that comprises the chorus of the former song.

That being said, I can think of at least five 2002 albums that I like better than In Search Of.

One of maybe five hip hop albums I own. Really good stuff. I never even bothered checking out their second album and from what I've gathered, I'm not missing much.

 

 

I read about six months back that they were reuniting (after a long absence of two years!). I guess it's Pharrell's last ditch effort to remain relevent.

Pharrell did a good job with Clipse' Hell Hath No Fury, which was only a little over a year ago, so I'd say he was still relevant at the time you heard that news. I'm guessing the thread starter didn't like it though.

 

This album was pretty good, but album of the year is pushing it for me. I didn't like it as much as Yankee Hotel Foxtrot or Turn On The Bright Lights.

N.E.R.D. is hip hop?

Close enough for a white, classic rock loving dork like me.

This album didn't really age well for me. I thought this was the greatest album when I was 16. Still the best NERD album ever.

Oh, I was being glib. I'll argue that Pharell's done more harm than good in the years since, however.
