The BellRaysĬalifornia garage rockers The BellRays join Jim and Greg in the studio this week. In My Mind gets a Trash It-and Sound Opinions wonders if Chad is the genius to look out for after all. Kanye West, a producer who actually managed this feat, collaborates with Pharrell on Number One, but it’s a dreadful showing from both artists. Jim agrees, and neither critic thinks that Williams has the chops or personality to be a solo star. Greg explains that for someone who makes his living creating innovative beats and catchy hooks, the lack of such a sound on this record was shocking. And, after giving the record a listen, Jim and Greg can say that those suspicions were not unwarranted.
But it festered without a release date for such a long time that it raised some eyebrows. A quick glance at the number of hits credited to Pharrell might make this album seem like a no-brainer. Now, Pharrell has branched out solo (or as solo as a hip-hop artist can be these days) with In My Mind. He and partner Chad Hugo also recorded some of their own music as N.E.R.D. Pharrell Williams is best known as part of the production duo The Neptunes, who have crafted hits for everyone from Jay-Z to Justin Timberlake. The next album up for review is by superstar producer Pharrell. He thinks that the 2006 Dolls come off like a pretty good cover band, and can’t completely bash them. Jim loves the old Dolls, and can’t understand how the band that made One Day It Will Please Us can even call themselves the New York Dolls. Now, after hearing it, they can say that their worries were not in vain. Upon hearing of this latest effort, Jim and Greg were both excited and fearful.
The sole surviving Dolls, David Johansen (aka Buster Poindexter) and Sylvain Sylvain, came together for this album. Heck, we may not even have had Morrissey, who got the Dolls together in 2004 for London’s Meltown Festival. As Jim and Greg explain, without the Dolls, we wouldn’t have the Sex Pistols. Though the band’s first incarnation existed for only a few years, its influence is undeniable.
