ReviewsRanked #18 in Uncut's "Best New Albums of 2004" - "An object lesson in eclectic art-rock....This prog-pop classic reveal further depths of detail with every repeated play.", 3 stars out of 5 - "It's fascinating to hear these rap geniuses go undercover as a bar band you might hear rocking Journey covers in a bowling alley.", "FLY OR DIE is craftier and more multilayered than its predecessor....A set of clever, complex, studio-crafted pop--complete with musicianly, smooth-jazz licks--that doesn't owe allegiance to any one genre." - Rating: A-, 5 stars out of 5 - "N*E*R*D can replicate machine hypersyncopation at the drop of a hi-hat. Prog-pop album of year.", 4 stars out of 5 - "This is an enthusiastic hymn to the terminally uncool, an un-ironic celebration of nerd-culture....They make a party you want to be invited to."
