Instead, we have the piano stomp of the first single, \"She Wants To Move,\" the acoustic balladry of \"Wonderful Place,\" and Pharrell's juvenile teen-angst lyrics all over the place (not to mention a featured appearance by \u003cstrong\u003eGood Charlotte\u003c\/strong\u003e on \"Jump\"– holler at your mall punk!). All in all, this N.E.R.D. album is a definite departure from the debut's expert blend of rock, soul, and Neptunes thump. It's too early to label \u003cem\u003eFly or Die\u003c\/em\u003e a disappointment– remember, \u003cem\u003eIn Search Of…\u003c\/em\u003e took a while to catch on. But, love it or hate it…there's still the new \u003cstrong\u003eClipse\u003c\/strong\u003e album to look forward to. GRINDING! 12 tracks total. (ed's note: for what it's worth, it seems like the teen generation is loving this, just ask Killmanjaro aka Lil Lloydski).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ered colored double vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Star Trak 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by Nick Catchdubs 05\/2004\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"N.E.R.D","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":40253775773786,"sku":"hh-5507","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/nerd-flyordie-colroedvinyl-1.jpg?v=1759289470","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/n-e-r-d-fly-or-die-colored-vinyl-vinyl-2lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
