Obviously he's proven everyone wrong with Seeing Sounds. I'll be writing up a review for it very soon but on first impression it seems like Pharrell doesn't even care about lyrics. Of course, it's hard to mind much considering how diverse and (for lack of a better word) alive N*E*R*D/The Neptunes are sounding again. It would be great to hear them bring that urgency to the acts they produce for. In fact, it would just be great in general if Chad Hugo started writing with Pharrell again. They only co-wrote four of Seeing Sounds' twelve tracks, with Pharrell pulling the rest himself. What's going on? Regardless, Pharrell is obviously doing the Neptunes sound justice - their signature bridges are back (and fucking awesome).
Post-script - If you live in Australia, never work for the big music retailers. Virgin/Sanity/HMV is a self-cannibilising, McDonalds-diet beast.
