"N*E*R*D"

I recently got the new N*E*R*D album, Fly or Die. Its not my usual style of music but i thought i'd give it a try, mainly to try and pull a fit girl who's a fan of theirs.

I dont really know how to describe their music style. Its not Rap od HipHop, but its also not rock. Its a bit of a mix of the two but with an added spark of coolnes.

After listening to the album for a week now, ive come to love them. Its a welcome change to the rock I usually listen to but also manages to be somewhat similar.

For anyone wanting something a bit different, I would recomend this new album.

I like N*E*R*D, they're different.

Unlike some so-called rap musicians (Who are about as musical as a pig getting bummed by a neurotic mental patient who's been leafing through Dwain Chambers' medicine cabinet), the streets actually sings about reality and has a good singing voice. But rock still rules for me, seeing as all of the CDs in my collection (Nearing 50) are rock, hard rock, heavy metal or grunge.

I'll agree that some NERD lyrics are rubbish but the songs as a whole are generally decent. I prefere them to proper rap and its a nice change from proper rock.

The Streets write excellent lyrics

I no longer pay attention to your opinion after this, The Streets and decent lyrics? Those words should never be uttered in a sentence, not in a positive way anyway :-D

It's not surprising at all, seeing as rappers rarely come up with decent lyrics; the Streets is the only exception I know of to this rule. If they took a more rock direction to the lyrics as well, there may well be an improvement.

Love the beats they lay down on their songs but as Snuggly said their lyrical prowess comes nowhere near their production skills.

Tis a very good album, a bit more fully-formed than their last one. A nice mix between rock and hip-hop, never more than a track or two away from a great song. The lyrics are awful though, really terrible stuff.

"Like the Michelin Man, she swam with such might"

I love their current single, in a weird sort of way.

"Her ass is a spaceship I want to ride"

Can't argue with that...............

Might try to get hold of the album.
