It is hard to pigeon-hole the band into one genre; they are loosely a blend of rock, hip-hop, and R&B. Pharrell explains; “What is a N*E*R*D? N*E*R*D stands for No-one Ever Really Dies. The Neptunes are who we are and N*E*R*D is what we do. It’s our life. N*E*R*D is just a basic belief, man. People’s energies are made of their souls. When you die, that energy may disperse but it isn’t destroyed.”
Williams and Hugo originally recorded the band’s debut album, In Search Of…, for European release in 2001 using similar digital production techniques used on Neptunes-produced records. However, they decided that if N*E*R*D was to be different from the Neptunes, it should sound different. This led to them re-recording the album (still titled In Search Of…) with the power pop band Spymob for worldwide release in 2002.
In Search Of… achieved moderate success in the United States.: the album reached number 59 on the Billboard 200; its first single,
Lapdance, reached the top 40 on the modern rap charts; and its second single, Rock Star, reached the top 40 of the modern rock charts in the US. “Lapdance” also went top 40 in the Netherlands and its music video received heavy airplay on American MTV2. The album was well-received by critics even though it was not as successful as many of the Neptunes’ previous productions.

my mistake for pasting only that last sentence. "People’s energies are made of their souls. When you die, that energy may disperse but it isn’t destroyed." now this IS big time bullshit. people's energies are made of their souls? wow, soooooo deep. when you die, THAT energy (which is made out of souls, 3 thumbs up) may disperse but it isn't destroyed. haha. new age budism for the win. and to all the spiritualists out there: please.

Lockpickz, technically he's right. When you do die and as your body decay, you release nutrients into the soil. Fungi and bacteria are able to process these nutrients into forms that can be used by plants and animals. Otherwise, we'd lose all the nutrients and everything would die.
