Наконец дождался пока кто-нибудь напишет о своих предпочтениях.
Для баланса вот вам грязь и хвала на одну из указанных групп The Neptunes.
Rotten tomatoes::
Pharrell ruined The Neptunes with his ego. This is something we just have to accept, like All Oasis recordings post-'Whatever', like the Matrix sequels, like all modern Eddie Murphy movies. The Neptunes have been crap for ages now - the second Kelis album, most of the singles they produced over the past two years? 'Clones' was just shit - but they do still manage to sneak out the odd gem (like last year's live 'Pop Shit' featuring the ODB). Expectations in most quarters are once more high for 'Fly Or Die'? but it's clear from the outset that Pharrell's Ego is still running things.
Glory:Some people will tell you how all the great songs were written long ago and how things don?t work now the way they used to, how it was so much better back in the day, how there hasn?t been any really great music in the past ten / twenty / thirty years. And I say to them fuck you. Maybe, just maybe, the last fifty, sixty years, pop music?s history, all those songs, all that technological development, those four big movements that get rolled out far too often and labelled as ?influential? or ?seminal? or some shit, rock n roll, psychedelia, punk, acid house, plus all the other movements and genres that gets forgotten in the historiography-of-rock hype - blues, jazz, soul, funk, disco, hiphop - plus everything else; maybe that was all practice? Rehearsal? Maybe now we?ve learnt the ropes of popular music we can start to tear the barriers down and get busy with the really fucking good stuff.
Так что хватит грязью обливать их...так же можно найти отзывы о Земфире, Сплине и все все всех... одни crap, другие ****ing good stuff.
Были у них хорошие вещи и все тут.
