“Seeing Sounds” is the third album from Pharrell Williams and his rhythmically inclined band mates, otherwise known as N*E*R*D.

The first single “Everyone Nose” is the type of song that will start playing in your headphones and make those around you wonder if your second cup of coffee just kicked in. Whether or not you choose to pay attention to its clever word play, the song makes you want to get up and dance. In fact, that seems to be a general theme throughout the album. It’s as if they went into the studio and asked themselves what they could do to keep people moving. But despite this general theme, “Seeing Sounds” is a very rhythmically diverse album wherein each song yields a sound that definitively belongs to N*E*R*D. Whether you feel compelled to embrace 70s roller disco flashbacks (no matter what your age) while listening to “You Know What”, or take up skateboarding just to have something appropriate to do while listening to “Spaz”, each song on this album not only possesses a sound, but also a feel.

I was wondering what happened to N.E.R.D. Yesterday I watched the Bangers and Cash L.O.O.S.E video. Which then lead me to N.E.R.D’s “Lapdance” ( because one begat the other) and I thought… These guys fall off or what? Well here is the new track but it sounds like they have some catching up to do.
