albums of the decade - 70. N*E*R*D* - In Search Of...

70. N*E*R*D* - In Search Of... (2002)

"It is quizzical, troubled, socially concerned, compassionate, schizoid, retro-eclectic, strikingly modern, racially mixed--and even likes women" - Mojo -

"Sure they're clever, but they're also as shallow as Britney Spears." - Village Voice-

"Do I really even love you
Or do I really love your brain
I just love your brains" -N*E*R*D* -

Mixed-up quotes, a trivial band attempting to be deep, the funkiest thing since sliced funk, an instrumental and rerecorded rerelease of a previously electronic affair, an album that sounds like Prince, witty, funky, sleazy, sultry and classy, even if they were ubiquitous, even if they produced Britney, even if they were as shallow as Britney, even if they went a bit shit later.
