The Best BEP Album So Far..., 4 Jan 2006
The Black Eyed Peas have enjoyed a rocket ride to fame recently, with such songs as Where Is the Love? on Elephunk and Don't Phunk with my Heart and Don't Lie on the best album the Black Eyed Peas have released so far - Monkey Buisness.The great thing about this album is that the first eight songs could all be released as singles and I'm certain they would all reach the Top 5. The quality is rife throughout the first eight tracks. Don't Phunk with my Heart is a classic single that stapled BEP's place in modern music history and the rest of the album follows the same laid-back beats such as 'My Style' (my personal favourite) and 'Don't Lie'. Unfortunately, the rest of the album isn't as fantastic. Tracks like 'Audio Delite at Low Fidelity' are washed-up and left on the shore when compared to the beginning. And unfortunately the bitterness stays with you throughout the bonus tracks, despite them being above average. However, this blip isn't enough to reduce your overall enjoyment of what is a cracking album, providing you like the theme of music. The niggle is ever evident unfortunately, and you can't help feeling better spacing of the tracks woul dhave amounted to a better package. I'll slap 4 stars on this despite my inner heart tempting me to wipe a star off simply because the potential is there - just misplaced. It's a must buy for any Black Eyed Peas fan - or anyone who liked the recent singles for that matter - but if you didn't then steer clear.
