 N.E.R.D. [The Neptunes]: Fly Or Die (2004): Reviews
Williams has clearly approached 'Fly Or Die' as the kind of project where the central aim is to show us all how clever he is, and as he flits from musical style to style like a hungry pop bee, you're pounded into submission because HE IS JUST SO GODDAMN GOOD AT EVERYTHING.
Fly Or Die has its rough patches, but the liberating, anything-goes looseness that inevitably results in stretches of self-indulgence is precisely what makes the album, like its predecessor, so messy, vital, and fun.
Fly or Die gives you the sense that the Neptunes were trying extra hard to counter their success as pop producers by making a "weird" rock album.

 village voice > music > N.E.R.D.: Fly or Die by Christian Hoard
Fly or Die, the second album from their rock-hop side project N.E.R.D., offers only modest clues about their forthcoming adventures in sound, mostly because Williams and Hugo's goals seem relatively modest.
The mellower, more songful Fly or Die says less about Hugo and Williams as big-eared auteurs than as skilled studio men able to integrate bits of Britpop, classic rock, and '70s soul into their studied flash.
Fly or Die doesn't exactly open up amazingly unfamiliar vistas for rock-rap-whatever explorations.

Similar to their debut album, N.E.R.D.'s "Fly or Die," available now, tackles the unwieldy themes of infatuation and aggression.

Though "Fly or Die" is in no way derivative of N.E.R.D.'s first album, the duplicate mix of procreative and pugnacious themes is not as fresh as it was a few years ago.

Fly Or Die is an ode to that misunderstood teen angst that we all hate, though it's actually quite danceable.
On Fly Or Die, the guys sound like they're just trying to make your average, run-of-the-mill rock record with just a tiny bit of hip-hop flavor thrown in for good measure.
However, because it's not quite as eclectic, Fly Or Die will probably be easier to get into, though it took me a few spins before I actually liked it.

For about the first week that I owned Fly Or Die, I thought I had a really neat little album on my hands, and was about ready to review it on here and give it four stars or something.
The rest of Fly Or Die is hopeless faux-rock nonsense.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D. on CD Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D. Consumer CD Review: This second offering by N.E.R.D. is generally stronger than their debut album, which was interesting but held back by the lack of a cohesive sound.
The new album proves that this project is mostly an exercise in songwriting, so Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo can take a break from their usual futuristic hip-hop (as the Neptunes) and have some fun with live organic music.
A major problem is the live alternative rock musicianship, which is distressingly unfunky and crusty, especially when trying to play material of this nature.

On Fly or Die, this means they reserve the right to vacation in the mind and imagination of a mopey, outcast teenager.
Yet the first thing that strikes you about Fly or Die is that it sounds like a retreat into all the boring parts of MTV they have nothing to do with.
In the context of pop, Fly or Die commits the worst offense: Its stern role-plays verge on boring, and you don't feel like sticking around for the punch line.

 Helicopter Survival: Fly or Die?
The combination of power margin, flight control response, and structural strength, allows a helicopter to fly a high G profile, when required, to reduce susceptibility to enemy weapons systems once acquired and engaged.
Thorough flight planning and continuous lookout, especially while flying during periods of low visibility or during night vision goggle operations, are essential.(8:4-47) Electronic means of detecting wires have been under study for a number of years and millimeter wave radars and lasers seem to be most promising.
Because of the relatively large warhead found in missiles, hit survivability for the helicopter and its crew is essentially a matter of luck.

 Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D. - Music Review
Musically, FLY OR DIE is a little bit wonderful and a little bit of a big old mess.
Some listeners will love the mish-mosh; others will wish for more cohesiveness and focus--it's almost as though these guys were crossing off a musical "to-do list," trying to cover all the bases and show off their varied musical influences at the expense of ending up with an album that makes cohesive sense.
Ironically, FLY OR DIE would have benefited from exactly the kind of attention they are so good at giving to others--the strong guiding hand of a good producer.

Unlike "In Search Of...", originally made primarily on N.E.R.D.'s various machines and then reconfigured with assistance from funk-rock band Spymob, "Fly or Die" is kept almost entirely in-house.
At face value, "Fly or Die" is a rather straightforward rock record.
So while "Fly or Die" is one of the most creative and ambitious moments of the Neptunes' career, it might also be their least understood.

Comment: 'Fly or Die', is the follow-up to 2002's critically acclaimed In SearchOf.
The reason for this opinion is just cos of the repetitive drum and guitar combo, which is fine, but doesnt present much variance as the first album did.
Fly or Die, the second album from NERD is, irritatingly, not quite what you want and never quite what it seems.

"'Fly Or Die' is about choices," says Shay on www.n-e-r-d.com: "He's got an angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other and he's just trying to take the right path."
It’s a bi-polar record which fans of The Neptunes’ work might find too complicated for their liking and at times it seems as if the three members of N*E*RD made ‘Fly or Die’ more for themselves than anyone else.
With bags of creativity it will quite likely be their defining record, a benchmark against which to measure their future releases, but whether the record-buying public will ‘get it’ is another matter altogether.

 Caiman free games: Fly or Die by GAMEDALE Entertainment.
"Fly or Die" (or simply FoD) is our attempt to remind you of those good old 2D vertical arcade shooters, where you had to fly through a set of levels and eliminate hordes of various enemies.
Gameplay is simple - you have a small space fighter ship, armed with two weapon types (primary - laser, secondary - rockets), and you need to eliminate invaded enemy forces in 3 territories, including outer space, futuristic settlement and snowy canyon.
So you can start the game next time from the place where you've been last time - it will be rather hard to fly through the game with a single attempt, so make sure you note the level codes being shown to you...

A not-so-funny thing happened on the Neptunes' way to Fly or Die, the second album from their eclectic rock-funk-soul project N.E.R.D. Pharrell Williams, the more public face of the hot production duo, has embarked on a side career as a singer.
The most striking aspect of Fly or Die is the sad realization that Williams hasn't learned his lesson.
Williams, Hugo and Shae are obviously attempting to channel the Mothers of Invention or Captain Beefheart at their zig-zagging, anything-goes best, but they don't seem to have grokked that such left-field excursions have to lead somewhere interesting in order to work.

 IGN: Fly Or Die Review
Said "hidden" number is one of the more consistent numbers on the album, the vocals and smooth sonic stylings melding together to create a swirling swatch of superb neo-soul.
With Fly Or Die it sounds as if the guys in N.E.R.D. have been spending late nights listening to way too much Burt Bacharach, amongst too many other influences to accurately place your fingers upon.
Now this can be construed as either a very good thing indeed or a severe wrong turn; it really all depends on your outlook and, more specifically, on what your expectations for this album were.

So having said all the above you know where I am coming from, but the first single She Wants To Move has already been a hit and no doubt their LP Fly Or Die will be a smash success as well.
The feel is a bit different to the first N*E*R*D LP with the band having sacked off all the musicians deciding to do everything themselves.
Fly Or Die is a mish mash of styles and comes off a bit confused as the different segments of the track juxtapose against each other.

 Guardian Unlimited | Arts reviews | N*E*R*D, Fly or Die
When Williams and Hugo stop worrying about their target audience, however, Fly or Die starts hitting its stride.
The leering, salacious Backseat Love and She Wants to Move are pretty unsubtle, especially when you consider Williams and Hugo's involvement in such intriguing explorations of sexuality as Kelis's Milkshake and Truth or Dare.
The Way She Dances is a succinct and compelling mid-tempo ballad and Drill Sargent is absolutely fantastic - four carefree minutes that, like Outkast's Hey Ya, mine the mid-1960s "sunshine pop" of the Turtles and the Lovin' Spoonful to gleeful effect.
