any fans of their album in search of? i think it's amazing.
(Note: N.E.R.D. = side project of hip-hop producers The Neptunes - Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams.)
pharrell is such a nice singer, and you really hear that when he's singing whole songs instead of just choruses for other people's rap songs. the production on the album is their best yet as well. for the last couple years they've just been churning out generic tracks for artists they don't think really care about their art (commodity only). this is their true pride and joy. the combination of rock, hip-hop, 70s soul, and funk works EXTREMELY well in the official (american) version (it was a little bare in the original version, which unfortunately is the version released in europe and most commonly found on p2p).
the cd just won the shortlist prize (best cd that has sold under 500,000 copies in the u.s.) as selected by some very intelligent and talented judges, beating out the likes of drukqs, vespertine, the private press, and albums by the hives and the vines.
you can get the cd for $5.99 at best buy (yes it's a full length album). to preview it download these songs (hopefully you'll get the live band version and not the programmed originals):

N.E.R.D. are just phenominal......what crazy beats they have going....and you can't beat that price. you pay that for CD singles by some boy bands these days.
on NME recently i read an article that they may not be releasing anymore CD's under the name N.E.R.D. due to some difficulties with their record company (freaking music industry eediots!)

flea: as i said, they're willing to churn out generic beats to make money, and they made a killing with that britney album. they're workers for higher basically, so their "collaborations" (more like beats-4-sale) can be hit or miss. they use the money they make on the britneys, nellys, nsyncs, etc. to fund their own music and their label where they put out kelis, spymob, and clipse. just block out that stuff from your mind and listen to the album, i think as a producer (your tracks are some of the best produced ones on this board, flea) you'll love it.
sido: the track is "young fresh n' new". they did the music to both of kelis' albums and wrote a lot of the lyrics too. that song has an amazing beat huh? i heard it in a club once and was shook.
