25 Nov N*E*R*D – Nothing | Album Review

Pharrell et al put on the N*E*R*D mask once again and bring us their Hip Hop Rock brand of music in the new album Nothing. Generally, the album gives us what we expect from the NERDs, bottom heavy drum knocking Hip Hop type pop-rock. The lads have obviously been listening to a lot of Quincy Jones because the pumping horns on tracks like ‘Party People’ and ‘Perfect Defect’ are very well produced. What I love is that NERD display a distinct difference between their sound and the Neptunes sound, however there is something that strings them both together.
