Summary: Innovative
Comment: At first Listen this album can seem cluttered and invasive, however after a while you can see the focus... with this vision the tracks successfully blend and create a listening experience like no other. This is something you come to expect from Pharell and he doesn't disappoint. I definitely admit it may be hard to digest, but after a few listens the driving beats and melodic vocal riffs stand out with shay's rapping. a good listen for anyone who loves music in general.

Summary: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Comment: Just like the previous two NERD albums, this one has its own identity...If you liked the previous two albums, give this one a few listens to grow on you and you will not be disapointed. Its not their best work but its still NERD!
Standout tracks: Track 7 and 11

Summary: all kinds of sounds
Comment: are coming from this CD by the guys in N.E.R.D. But for the most part each of the songs on the cd will have your bobbing your head to the beats that they create. But also sometimes the wordplay will get you a few songs, it has been awhile since their last effort. They don't show it on the cd as "Seeing Sounds" makes for a great listening experience for fans of NERD both old and new.

Summary: Why, oh why, when Pharrell & Co. make their own album, it's not half as good as what they produce??
Comment: In my opinion, The Neptunes are producing geniuses (sp?). Timbaland is excellent too, but I almost love every song Pharrell & crew produce for artists. I think they & Queen have created the most innovative sounds & music. I don't care what people say about Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl"; yes the words are a bit silly, but if you just listen to the beat, it is amazing.
That's why it is exciting when the producers of such great hits create their own album. Right? Wrong. From their first 2 albums, they were ok, but they were no way up to par with what the trio had already produced. I let it slide. Now, "Seeing Sounds" is their 3rd album, and I feel this one is worse than the previous two. It is so eclectic and over the place. It felt like the group wanted to cram every genre in the album. Their 1st single "Everyone Nose" is just silly to me & sounds like it was made rushed.
The only 2 songs I like is "Intro/Time for some action", which starts off like a 1950's advertising cartoon commerical then gets edgy & funky. And "You know what", which isn't amazing, but very funky & catchy.
I gave it 3 stars instead of 1 or 2, because no matter what, anything from NERD will not be "bad". One thing positive I can say about their music is it is never boring--even if you don't like the music.
