This is Michael Mixerr. Tonight I am going to review Neptunes - Nocturnal Habit.
Mix rock, pop, and jazz, and you have the result of the Nocturnal Habit album by Neptunes. Jake Flack wrote 66% of this album because as he is the main vocalist. James Fenner add the additional percussion. Most of the album is filled with vocals. Pop rock is the best accurate term to describe and refer to this album. Yes pop rock. Soothing soft rock meets pop rock on this album. The songs are rather short being that a slight majority of them are under 3 minutes long in duration. REC Records brings out the best in Neptunes.* SPIN Magazine has referred to this album as roots rock. Mindless roots rock that is.
Bloodshot Eyes comes with a gritty guitar ridden instrumental with the pop rock sound. The song sounds thrifty and rather upbeat. Trendy and thrifty are words to describe this song. Designated Driver is an ode to drunkeness similar to Irishman Lost in Spain by Vallejo. It's one of those drinking songs. Rock 'n Roll Mama is a classic hard rock song.
[REC Records is a division of REC Music Group, Inc. The same REC Music Group that put out MC Overlord - Play To Win in 1990.]
I rate this album, Nocturnal Habit, 3/5***.
