On
People Of Earth, We Are The Neptunes, there is
some of the best double-picking (I was probably referring to glissando at the
time) and twang that I have heard from the third wave of surf groups. The boys
commit a fine mixture of traditional, third-wave, and rock to CD. Infectious,
rocking, and energetic surf-instro tunes come crashing upon your
eardrums, each track brimming with a unique energy and originality. Beware of
the wake that follows. It’s all done
with style. Every song has its own originality (cover or original).
Music like surf can sound the same. Groups must be creative and possess the know-how to utilize
their diverse talents to the fullest potential, ultimately creating something
original and fresh. There is no redundancy in any of the material presented on
this album. The Neptunes succeed in keeping it interesting.
I
noticed on track nine, "Gemini,"
that there is a very familiar drum-beat
and guitar break. Does "Wipe Out"
ring a bell? That material still holds
up after all these years. The Neptunes use it very cleverly, and it
sounds terrific. I don’t know if it was
intentional or if it just ended up sounding that way, but it works
pretty nicely. This is a strong CD from start to finish.
