So does anyone know this album? Would you recommend it? I've been thinking about buying it... I thought "lapdance" was okay... i hate that new video "rockstar" that gets shown all the time these days. But yesterday i saw a live-performance by n.e.r.d. on tv and they played a song called "stay together"... and i was amazed :-o What a great song! So emotional! I instantly fell in love with it, and now i'm very curious what the rest of the cd will sound like... hopefully lots of songs in that emotional style, and not the stupid hardrock+rap style of "rockstar" ;-) anyone who's heard it? Also i understand the cd is released in two versions? An original version and a new "live" version or something... i'm very confused about that :-/ Which one is better? And how will i be able to tell them apart? |

I downloaded the regular version, i like Rock Star and Lap Dance but the slower songs didnt appeal to me. |

I think the newer version has added layers and things; polished off and reworked a bit. Not certain though.. Wait for Travis to get on, I'm sure he knows. I think 'In Search Of' is pretty good, my favorite song off the cd is 'Brain'. Personally, I like their production work as the Neptunes much better. The background in LL Cool J's 'Luv U Better' drives me crazy. |

I think N.E.R.D.'s singer is very cool, the way he moves and dances. They have some kind of own identity in this grey mass of MTV-bands. |

THey only reason i liked that new Justin Timberlake song was because Pharrels in it :-D |

Pharrell is HOT. Those sexy eyes of his put me in nirvana! |
||||||||
|

If I were a woman... I'd stalk him! |

yeah, i saw him interviewed in loladamusica (dutch tv-programme about music) a while back... really interesting guy! He seems very... uh... interlectual, with unique views on life and the world in general. He also talked about how he was going to get a blowjob later that night :-p And he'd be doing so whilst listening to stereolab, "the ultimate fellatio-music" as he called it. I like how he wears a shirt that says "rietveld" in the justin-video (also a really great song! With or without pharrel). Anyway cabbog... who is travis? Some kind of n.e.r.d-expert? |

i like the live instrument, american version of the cd better than the programmed version released internationally a year before it. if you liked "stay together", that's a LOT more like the rest of the album than either "lapdance" or "rockstar" (which was written as a parody of rap-rock originally). i highly recommend buying it; for us americans, we can get it as cheap as $5.99 at Best Buy. |

this is one of the BEST deals out there George.......erhhhhmmmm Surrounded.......get thee to a record store A.S.A.P.!! tee hee =0) |

"if you liked "stay together", that's a LOT more like the rest of the album than either "lapdance" or "rockstar"" aaahh, thanks mate! :-) That's what i was hoping to hear! Maybe george will go to a recordstore today... if he can find the time for it. Guess he will have to listen to the two different versions to decide for himself which one he prefers. (i've still got stay together stuck in my head! What a song!) |
||||||||

|

well if you do mp3's check out the american/live instrument versions of "run to the sun" and "baby doll" and i think you'll agree they're superior however it'll prolly cost you more than the european version |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

*bump* Well i finally bought the cd 3 days ago :-) It turned out the european version is pretty much unfindable :-/ N*E*R*D must have really hated it themselves, and had it taken out of stores or something, because all i could see was the american version. It was even on sale, so actually pretty cheap :-) And i love it! I bought it at the same day as 26 mixes... on that day aphex twin was pretty much all i listened to, but now i've started listening to ...in search of, and i don't want to stop :-p It's basically just pop-music... but so well done! I can't get enough :-) I still think "stay together" is definitely the highlight of the album... but all the other songs are really good too. Things are getting better, brain, run to the sun... they're all so catchy. Even Rockstar sounds better in the album-context. And Lapdance just rocks! I love that one now! When i push play and that riff kicks in... wow... i haven't been blown away like that by something in a long time. The only thing i do not like is that guestrapper harvey in lapdance... his lyrics, bah... disgusting and immature. I try not to focus too much on it, because when i do it ruins the song a little. "Chicks nick-name me prador, they get high of my dick. I take 'em to my home, they call it the cock pit. Time for take off, their panties they drop quick Now that's first class fuckin, and that's some fly shit"... :-/ Lord knows why these guys invited him to join them on this song. But oh well... it's only a couple of seconds on an otherwise excellent album... so i'm still happy :-) |

hehehe it was only 6.99 US dollars.....it was super cheap......i dunno why they sold it for so little cos it's SUCH an amazing bargin full of cute lil numbers sings *run to the sun* =0) glad you like it and you found a copy! |
||||||||

i have it. its good. its not their best work but its good. i like the clipse better. someone said on here that all neptunes sounds the same a few days ago.. yeah i thought, it does a bit.. i do like it though. i mean i used to like everything todd terry or basic channel did when they were peaking even though all that sounded the same. (rambles off slowly) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i still think someone should release a neptunes-compilation album. But they seem to be at their peak at the moment (i mean you can hardly turn on mtv without seeing something the neptunes were involved with), but maybe later... when things have calmed down a bit. A compilation would be a great idea... i'd buy it :-D "it was super cheap......i dunno why they sold it for so little" hm... that is kind of strange. So it's available cheap in europe AND the us. The album's probably not selling well then. Shame... I've had that weird catchy melody that comes in during the chorus of 'tape you' in my head all day long :-) |

they been giving them a big push over here, had them on all the kiddie pop shows.. probly cost quite a lot (if not in cash definitely in favours). its cos they had such success with all these icons they been working with/over. all the suits probly got sold it at such arms length they never clocked the lack of any real front persona. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no......it's not cos it's not selling well. it started out lower priced. i think it's because they weren't well known and they wanted more peepz to check them out and so they made it ultra affordable. of course thats just a guess (btw surrounded 'The Master of my Domain' episode was on last night =0) |

SURROUNDED!!! don't even think about it! if you buy that CD you can leave all batteries at home, 'cause i'd rather listen to the birds :D :P or even better: our island adventure is off in that case!!! that'll teach you! ;) |

"if you buy that CD" learn to read man :-p T-Bone wrote: "Well i finally bought the cd 3 days ago" You see? "bought" It's too late ;-) I've already got the album (and i love it! Really you should give it a chance. Listen before ye judge and stuff like that etc etc enzovoorts :-p). And i'll just find my own island then. It'll be much bigger and much better and much funner than your pathetic island ;-D All the cool people will come to my island (all the hot chicks too!). And maybe, just maybee, i'll invite you over one day ;-) |

titsworth! That site seems to be down at the moment :-( (or my computer is having some sort of problem again), i'll try to get on later. Thanks for telling me! I'm anxious to hear those mp3's! :-) "it started out lower priced." oh it did? Not in the netherlands it didn't :-) You americans have all the luck! "i think it's because they weren't well known" well whatever the reason, it's a very nice gesture methinks :-) "'The Master of my Domain' episode was on last night =0)" hehe, many people seem to think that is the best episode ever! I don't agree, but it's definitely in my top 10 though :-) It's a classic! "Are you Master of your Domain?" "I am King of the County. You?" "Lord of the Manor." "I'm Queen of the castle!" |

You're welcome anytime my friend ;-) But ofcourse, seeing as it's my island... i'll be deciding what music gets to be played :-p (this puts morton in a dillemma... no n.e.r.d. or hot chicks... what to choose? ;-) "i will refer to you as Koko from now on :P :D" nooooooo!!!!! ;-D You know, if I could get this Coco woman down to xltronic, they wouldn't be able to call me Koko anymore because Phobia would never allow 2 Kokos. Jerry: "Sounds like he runs a real tight ship." ;-) |

well i give up. n-e-r-d.co.uk just doesn't seem to be working. I know the page exists, because the pagetitle "N.E.R.D:: The Search Is Over..." does appear at the top of my screen, but then after a while i always get the standard 'page unavailable' crap. And n-e-r-d.com doesn't feature those new tracks does it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i give up haha, finally ;-P give up the whole N.E.R.D. stuff man! GIVE IT UP! FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"give up the whole N.E.R.D. stuff man!" haha, you wish! I'll never give that up, never! :-p If they already had an extensive discography... i'd buy all their releases! "FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN!!!" lol yes, the children are much better of with the likes of Venetian Snares ;-) befriend a childkiller and all that :-p |
||||||||

keep trying i guess... they'll fix the redirect eventually www.n-e-r-d.com has the videos but no exclusive tracks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also check out that new snoop dogg tune "beautiful",with pharrell on the chorus. I'm sure you will love this neptunes tune too surrounded |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i'm trying as we speak :-) No luck so far, but like you said... eventually they'll fix it (i hope). I've seen all those videos (+ they're on pretty heavy rotation on tv anyways)... i'm much more curious about the exclusive tracks :-D) "snoop dogg tune "beautiful",with pharrell on the chorus" I love that one!! Pharrell's vocals are incredible on there, i've never heard him sing so good :-) "I'm sure you will love this neptunes tune too surrounded" You were right. And thanks, i had been wondering if either the neptunes or snoop dogg himself made the music. |
