I respect Pharrell a lot as a producer, but have absolutely zero interest in listening to any of his music! Multiple times on this record where I audibly went "wow, this sucks"
The music seems interesting for a few minutes, but then gets boring and repetitive pretty soon. Lyrics are just awful.
eh
Pretty annoying kind of music. I forgot about this era where everyone thought rap-rock was cool and innovative. I like Pharrell a whole lot more as a producer than a vocalist (side note: if I could remove one song from history, it'd be Happy. Fuck Despicable Me). The background vocals on this (like JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!) make me really mad. Who is this music for??? Was tempted to give 2 stars bc the production is interesting sometimes and they could arguably get some points for experimenting. But ultimately, I wanted to skip every song after 30 seconds – and I pretty much did
I hated just about every second of this.
Meh
Die
Hendrix : Kravitz :: OutKast : NERD Incredibly repetitive songs that get boring 1 minute in. Smug eclecticism that dabbles in a lot of genres without going beyond the surface of their sound, so you get lots of boring fuzzy guitar riffs, generic jazziness, bland RnB horns, corny rap bravura, perky charmless britpop jangle, and annoying emo melodies. A good argument for keeping the producers behind the boards.
Really thought I was gonna like this, but it was hot trash.
am i crazy or did this suck. the track Maybe didn’t seem so bad, but that might’ve just been the stockholm syndrome at that point
2/5 kinda bad
This had aggressively mediocre side project energy.
The hell is this? Hip hop? Pop? New Jack Swing? Cross-over? Whatever it tried to be, it failed. This is, without hyberbole, one of the WORST albums I've been served on this 1001 list. Ive at least finished listening to all the 1 star albums - here I just found myself skipping every song. SH*T
Sorry what even was this!? I recognised THE one song but the rest of it was just highly irritating. Couldn't bear it. Particularly the weird song about a baby judging it's mother. Another weird paternalistic song singing about a trouble mother.. how many similar songs for men are there? Does my nut in
Absolutely not. So many weird, misogynistic lyrics here and generally just crap. Backseat Love is just a rape song right? Look at these lyrics: I was walking, down the street Saw this girl, she smell so sweet Hey, baby She start running, so I gave chase How they get them sapphires in yo face? Hey, baby So we start walking, and holding hands But she don't know, that daddy got plans I'm gon' get her in my car In the backseat and show her a rock star WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!
I'm not sure if it was my mood, but I thoroughly detested this album. It feels like low-grade pop rock, and yet another album that makes me question why it's on the list.
This didn't seem to age well. Even the singles seemed tired at this point.

Oof, this one was a tough listen for me. I really didn't know what Pharrell's background was, to me he showed up in like 2013 singing on "Blurred Lines" (very bad), "Get Lucky" (ok), and his own "Happy" (also bad). Apparently he was part of a production duo called The Neptunes, and then him and the other Neptunes guy formed this rap-rock band called N.E.R.D (No-one Ever Really Dies). That's the history. I'll be honest, I was already little negatively polarized on Pharrell (though him making Maggie Rogers famous was cool I guess), and this didn't really help. The rap-rock thing can occasionally work for me, but here it just felt like barely rap combined with completely uninspired pop-rock beats. The lyrics were rough too, it feels like something an 18-year old might write, but he was 31 when this came out. There is the occasional catchy beat here and there, and his vocals are fine, but the good parts are few and far between on a fairly long album. One of the things that people give them credit for was learning the instruments so they could play this live (which I guess they didn't for their first album). I guess that's a little impressive, but maybe just stick to your thing next time. Favorite song: She Wants To Move Other: Breakout, Maybe 10/24/24
Rubbish
God awful singing. Unremarkable
I was looking forward to this as I had heard good things about N.E.R.D and there first album In Search Of ... This one was ok it jumps about a bit encompassing hip hop, pop, jazz & rock at various different places and honestly none of it is that great, so yeah that's about it nothing really more to say on it.
Wasn’t on apple or Spotify so 1 star from me
I like Pharrell, but this one wasn't good
Nahhhhhhh - no thanks
Absolutely no way this should be anywhere near this list. Laughably bad. Three hidden tracks? I'd have happily gone with twelve hidden tracks; hidden in a vault, encased in concrete and dropped into the Mariana Trench.
just kinda passed me by without anything of note jumping out - good or bad!
It was funky fun, made me wiggle my hips a bit but overall I felt no connection in my heart or mind, alas.
Tässä geneeristä alavirettä on oudoitettu koristelulla, kuten jännillä soinnuilla, sähköskeballa ja progehtavilla rytmeillä. Vaikea kuunneltava.
Volgens mij moeten we rap en rock lekker gescheiden houden. 4/10 Highlights - Dieptepunt Wonderful Place
Awful from the jump. This had no business being an ep, let alone 55 minutes. If you want to jam aimlessly with your buds be my guest but don’t subject me to it. God I hated this.
Mist!
Not my cup of tea. Didn't care for the language or topics. Seemed to be well done.
This shit sucks
No.
I made it to song 4 or 5, and I had to bring out the gong. Nope. Not for me. Sorry N.E.R.D fans.
Album Nr. 19 Nicht meins. :-(
Mixed bag
So nondescript I've forgotten it already.
eh 1
Truño habitual
No thanks
I particularly enjoyed the period of silence before the hidden track began.
Couldn’t listen on Apple Music - found it on Spotify but could only listen on shuffle. Didn’t bother with most of it. I think Pharrell really showed his true colours with Blurred Lines. Not cool P, not cool.
No thanks
There's a special kind of torture to watching things you love done exceptionally poorly. It's like accidentally grabbing the salt for your tea instead of the sugar. It's a bad experience all around.
As they say in the Netherlands "geen ruk an"
Extremely bland and boring.
Nerd just doesn’t do it for me. No matter how critically acclaimed it is. 1.5/5
Jesus Christ this looks like it's gonna be an abomination. Update: it is. It fucking SUX. And ugh, Pharrell Williams to boot. The shit stars really did align this morning lol. Recognised 1 song, wished I hadn't. Just the worst example of the early 2000s I can think of right now. 1/5.
One of the worst albums I’ve ever heard
Pretensão adolescente de qualquer um pode fazer rock. Isso sem ter nada de punk evolvido. Tentativas pasteurizadas de soar como RHCP ou Faith no More.
