Editorial Review: From Amazon.co.uk : A sort of King Midas of the US pop firmament, as one half of hit-making cartel The Neptunes and a founding member of NERD, Pharrell Williams boasts a remarkable track record. Roughly one half hip-hop and one half R&B, In My Mind follows the magic formula that's seen Williams reinvigorate the careers of everyone from Britney and *NSYNC to Snoop Dogg and Nelly, drawing on music styles as disparate as metal and reggaeton and shaping them together with adventurous effect. In particular, the marching-band rhythms of "Keep It Playa" and the booming, atonal space-funk of "Can I Have It Like That" - featuring a brief cameo by Gwen Stefani - are startling examples of Williams' production wizardry. As an album, it's not without its flaws: "Our Father" might wash with the God-fearing hip-hop fraternity, but more cynical audiences might balk at the Williams' assertion that "Jesus is my playa"; meanwhile a duet with Jay-Z, "Young Girls", shows up the occasional weaknesses of his flow. No matter, though - you'll buy this for the productions, and without exception, they gleam. - Louis Pattison Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 2 1/2 Stars to be ExactFirst of all, I have been a fan of Pharrell Williams since his very early production days being the face of The Neptunes production team. Back in '99 in N.O.R.E's "Superthug" is the first time I ever saw one half of the men behind The Neptunes. Up until that point, only Timbaland captured me with his beat making. Since that day hearing and seeing "Superthug" I was a huge fan of The Neptunes. It was The Neptunes, then N.E.R.D., and then Pharrell as a solo artist. I loved his individuality he brought into the hip-hop game. There was no one like him. And now, I don't know if it is because he is such a trend setter or he himself as transformed in the "pop star" image that embodies him, but Pharrell no longer gives me that same ... Read More: Rating:  - Out Of This WorldKnown for the many incredible features, his group N.E.R.D. and even half of production team the Neptunes producing many singles with heavy rotation, Pharrell steps out for his sixteen song debut album In My Mind completely produced by himself. The album is kicked off with "Can I Have It Like That" featuring Gwen Stafani over a warping sound effect. "How Does It Feel?" has the effects of a marching band with bright horn arrangement. Pharrell stepped up his flow to keep up with the drum taps with lyrical attack "...its one thing to say that you did it / its one thing to lie about your digits..." Pain, struggles and path paved to get to this destination on "Best Friend" as he "...let it out..." and speak on personal experiences and offering inspiration ... Read More: Rating: - 2-1/2 stars -- Not much different from an N*E*R*D album, but...I'm sure everyone knows by now that Pharrell Williams is one half of the production duo the Neptunes. After making numerous contributions for other artists, he decided to put out his own album, In My Mind. The album was actually supposed to be released in 2005 but it got pushed back (but how does an album on your own label get pushed back?). It finally came out last summer, but after listening to it, I'm starting to wonder what exactly was ON his mind. One thing I was baffled at right away was the production. It's not that the production is bad; it's just, well, if you listen to the radio or if you watch a video on MTV Hits, most people could listen to a song and say, "Okay, that's a Neptunes beat right there." And although Pharrell did produce ... Read More: Rating: - Well, he's got something for both R&B and hip hop peopleI'm a new fan of Pharrell. I think he is very talented, but I have to admit that I'm a mainstream fan (I just love "Frontin" and "Number One"),but I decided to take a chance and buy "In My Mind". Okay, so I skip over the first half. I'm glad that he put the tracks in that order! From track 8 on, I think its pretty good. So all I can speak on is the second half. I think we all know that Pharrell really can't sing...but does it matter?! I like the singing anyway because its kind of real to me. I think his sensitivity shines in this album because instead of handing the lyrics to a better singer, he did it and he's not afraid of putting himself out there for self expression. Maybe he's got some sort of subliminal hold on me, because I ... Read More: Rating: - Please only work on other peoples stuffThis album is terrible. While there are some very promising beats, Skateboard-P has a terrible flow, and his lyrics are a complete joke. Therefore you have all these songs that would have some potential if only someone else was rapping over them. Much like the cover art, a lot of the tracks here come across as cartoonish, and you just cant take them seriously. Go buy the Clipse album "Hell Hath no Fury" to hear what a Neptunes produced album with talented rappers sounds like. |
