N.E.R.D. Seeing Sounds Review and Recap Game 1 of NBA Finals

Whats up its ya boy D.O.N. back at it to bring y'all the review of the new N.E.R.D album "Seeing Sounds" and to let you know what I thought of game 1 of the NBA Finals.



"Seeing Sounds" is the third album to come out by N.E.R.D. which is fronted by Pharrell and also includes Chad Hugo and Shay Haley. With "Seeing Sounds" they bring their Neptunes creativity and their melodic lyrics. The album starts with Pharrell talking about when he was young and remember the first time he closed his eyes and saw sounds, as this cuts out it goes right into the first song "Time For Some Action" which tells the age old story of boy chases girl. The chorus stays simple and towards the end of the song the beat changes and Pharrell goes into a nice little breakdown. Next is the first single of "Seeing Sounds" which is the drug induced woman party anthem "Everyone Nose", which produces a crazy sound and a nice flow. One of the catchiest songs on the album is the hard hitting "Anti Matter", this track has the hardest beat catchiest hook and a unique flow. What N.E.R.D can do just as well as anyone is stay on topic throughout a song and album. Pharrell is very underrated in his story telling ability and his skills show again on the slowed down stalkerish track "Yeah You". When you are anticipating a let down there just is not one to be found with tracks that will stay in you head like "Spaz" and "Love Bomb". What N.E.R.D. does really well throughout "Seeing Sounds" is have a proper mix of love songs and party tracks. Many of the slow tracks are so smooth due to the flow and beat you just drift into it. One of the few bad spots on the album is "You Know What" where the story is interesting but it was just lyrically was lacking.

"Seeing Sounds" provides listeners a sound that is very unique and weaves you through tale after tale of sex, drugs, and love. Not many bad things to say here and was very pleasantly surprised and it seems like they are back to their "In Search Of..." days instead of their last album "Fly or Die" which left a lot to be desired. I can listen to this CD front to back without skipping and that is the sign of a good album. The production as always is top notch but I wouldn't expect any less from Pharrell and Chad (The Neptunes). I give "Seeing Sounds" a 8.5 out of 10.



Now its time for my thoughts on Game 1 of the NBA Finals which the Celtics beat the Lakers 98-88. Paul Pierce had 22 points even with a strained knee that he received in the 3rd quarter. This game to me came down to one thing, Kobe not being able to hit a damn shot. Kobe missed some really easy buckets that if they went down could have changed the outcome to the game. Like I said yesterday about my X-Factors for each team Rondo outplayed Odom. Rondo had 15 points to Odoms 14 and Rondo also had 7 assists and 5 rebounds. This next game is in my opinion crucial the lakers need to win game 2 in order to stay in this. They have to know that they can win in Boston because i think they are gonna have to win 2 in Boston to win the series because Boston will win one in LA. We will see what happens on Sunday night when they go at it again.
