Black Eyed Peas - The E.N.D
Since the last Black Eyed Peas album four years ago, Fergie's surprised us all by becoming one of the world's most popular solo stars. Despite penning most of her album, Will.i.am had no such success with his own record, even if he managed to woo the UK by taking Queen Cheryl of Cole under his arm on Heartbreaker.
Now the pair are back with fellow BEP comrades Taboo and apl.de.ap for their fifth studio album. While Monkey Business was a fun party album, The E.N.D steps it up a gear and through the power of the mighty vocoder transforms the Peas into in your fave dancefloor creatures.
The dramatic Boom Boom Pow lays out the album's intentions perfectly and with its 'You're so two thousand and LATE' snap gives us a brand new insult to throw out there. I Gotta Feeling quakes with the familiar sound of it's producer David Guetta and fellow anthems Missing You and Rock That Body continue pummelling us with wild basslines and vocal snarling.
When it's time to take a breath of fresh air from the all-night rave, Meet Me Halfway is there to show you what BEP doing a Coldplay song would sound like. Answer: very good. Fergie regains some of the softness she explored on Big Girls Don't Cry on gorgeous love song Alive, but you're advised to give her attempt at a Jamaican accent on the instantly skippable Electric City a miss.
Daring and constantly innovative, the Black Eyed Peas have taken the techno/RnB door opened by Kanye West and flung it open wide. --Talia Kraines

Im a big fan of the Peas and loved both their last 2 albums. This one is a little different and I think will be a grower. It's more mature and I think goes back to their original style of Bridging the Gap and pre Fergie days which I wasn't hugely keen on. But its not quite as random and fun as Elephunk or Monkey Business. It's definately a dance album with some major beats so I think will be a great album for the car with the windows down and the sun shining! My general conclusion is its a bit different but I like that. Its good for bands to try something new and develop different styles.
Also, the 2nd disc edition contains 4 new tracks and 6 remixes of previous songs including one for Pump It which I absolutely love. But they are all great and I think for big BEP fans its worth the extra cash.

Reinvention cannot take place without some degree of risk.
BEP have taken risks aplenty with their latest release 'The End'
("The Energy Never Dies") and the results are hugely satisfying.
The slinky shift from all purpose polished pan-world pop
to a harder-edged synthetic sound has come as a nice surprise.
Mr. am and his cohorts seem very much at home in their new
reincarnation. They will doubtless lose some of their hardcore
devotees but for those with a more open mind and ears there are
many pleasures to be found in this generous sixteen song collection.
In 'Meet Me Halfway', with its dance-friendly beat and seductive central
vocal performance from the inimitable Ms Ferguson, is as near-perfect
a pop song as you will be likely to hear this summer.
'One Tribe', with its naive but sincere one-world message is a positive
anthem for the noughties - no bad thing in such dark times !
One can almost imagine some of these compositions having been conceived
in whatever the transatlantic equivalent to a suburban bedroom might be.
Relatively simple resources economically and effectively employed.
Technology harnessed to refined and competent pop sensibility comes together
in rousing form in what is arguably the album's finest track 'Gotta Feeling'.
If it doesn't make you feel like dancing then you haven't got a heart.
(Mrs Wolf proudly demonstrated her recently acquired pole-dancing class skills
to me with this number - a truly perfect wonder to behold !)
I have never been a big fan of synthesised vocal treatments but somehow they
seem to work here when managed by songsmiths of such strong talent and calibre.
'Alive' is a vividly realised case in point. The balance between
artifice and reality is consummately managed. Ms F once again on top form.
'Missing You' manages to combine the gritty urban-groove of its loping
verses with a Motown-like chorus of uplifting and genuinely affecting pathos.
All-in-all a thoroughly splendid show from a fine little band
who took a chance in flying off in a new direction.
The evidence supports the view that it was a risk more than worth taking.
Highly Recommended.

At first I listened to every track carefully, on the second listen I was singing along. Third, dancing and nodding my head in the car and stereo on full blast (always a good sign). If you like the B.E.Ps previous work, you'll love this. Powerful beats, Fergie's distinctive voice, Will-I-Am slick as always. Nothing to disappoint here. Perhaps a more mature sound for them if anything, but not the detriment, you'll soon be loving it as much as the previous albums. Boom Boom Pow an obvious hit. Rock your body - fantastic intro. Now Generation, very apt lyrics. Imma Be, great style and beat. Been listening for a few weeks and loving it.

Boring!
Only 2 nice tunes, the rest are fillers. Overall, the most boring album of the year. I like the cover though, hence 2 stars and not just 1.
