Funkin' Good Review ofElephunk [PA] - Black Eyed Peasby
Lizard_Lover
Advantages: So many musical styles Disadvantages: One rock track that doesn't work
The Black Eyed Peas became hot property after the release of their single ‘Where is the Love’ during the latter part of 2003. Despite having been around since 2000, the group had struggled to find their niche in the music market, although they always had a hardcore following. Maybe it was the decision to have Justin Timberlake appear on the single, that ensured its success, but the band went on to have another hit single ‘Shut Up’ at the end of the ...

Advantages: lots of diverse sounding songs Disadvantages: not really any
'Where is the Love’ is stuck in my head having just been listening to it... its possibly one of the most over-played songs on the album on my cd player, and at the moment, it is my favourite cd. Therefore... here comes another review of an album.....
I had only heard of the group when I heard their number one single 'where is the love?' so I was surprised to find out that they had been around since 2000. They finally became a bit more mainstream ...

hands up indeed Review ofElephunk [PA] - Black Eyed Peasby
axtesh
Advantages: brilliant songs, diverse album Disadvantages: some of the songs have been overplayed
As the most prominent of their 3 albums, this is the first one Ive had the pleasure of listening to all the way through. I didnt even buy it, my parents did, I just happended to turn it on by mistake when I was home.
When it was playing in my kitchen I didnt even realize it was a black eyed peas album. Thinking it was something on the radio I made sure I could hear who it was. Compared to the flagship track 'Where is the Love?', this title track ...

Elephunky Review ofElephunk [PA] - Black Eyed Peasby
fuzzibear
Advantages: very funky tunes Disadvantages: none really
I bought this album after really liking the singles 'shut up' and 'hey mama'. I was hoping for more of the same on the album, & I wasn't disappointed.
The Black Eyed Peas exploded onto the music scene late last year with their No 1 hit 'where is the love,' with its guest appearance by Justin Timberlake which was one of the biggest sellers of last year.
The album starts as it means to go on with 'Hands up', a sound not dissimilar to their recent ...

Advantages: The kids HAVE got taste Disadvantages: Explicit content - but not too bad
...songs. I'd bought the Elephunk album for my son, but managed to rescue it from his pit, and once I put it on I was hooked. This album has everything, from the sensitive, thought provoking Where Is The Love, through to the spanish riffs in Latin Girls, and onto the hormonal teenage angst (so familiar to many mums my age!) in Anxiety. There's even a little sliver of disco.
I'd hate to go through all the tracks and ruin what could be for you what ...

The Blackeyed Peas- Elephunk
Interscope records, licensed to Polydor Ltd (UK)
The "peas" are also known as Will.i.am, Fergie,Taboo and Apl.de.ap.
The peas have been around in the hip hop music scene for years know, and true die hard hip hop/RnB fans may say that their commercialisation has spoilt the genre.
However, as one of these fans, I am nothing but impressed with the album.
I tend to buy albums that reflect in a certain memory in ...

Advantages: Loads of different styles that really work for them Disadvantages: Track 12 Anxiety
This has got to be my most Fav album ever. It is so good and i am a big fan of the Black eyed peas. I just think their songs have so much meaning and i really understand them. I can listen to it from begining to end with the exception of track 12. I really don't like that as it is really hard core and rocky which im not a great fan of.
Their songs have so much energy and you can really get into them.
The songs have a great beat and sound excellent.

Advantages: All Songs Different Something For All Tastes, Got A Cool Jig To It, Can Understand Words To Songs Disadvantages: All Songs Different So May Like Some Not Others
Black Eyed Peas have been massive in United States but only recently broken in to the music industry of Britian big time with the release of there song 'Where Is The Love'.
Elephunk is not there first album they first released 'Behind The Front' & then came 'Bridging The Gap'. Now they have totally diversified from those albums to Elephunk, the type of music is so different. Also this is the first album with the girl (Fergie) in it. The first 2 ...

Classy album. Review ofElephunk [PA] - Black Eyed Peasby
Tomzat13
This Album has some of the most class tunes ever. Shut Up + Hey mama are cool and so is Where is the love. However the album cover isn't very interesting. The lyrics are cool and make a point. Where is the love tells you about suffering of children, through song. Just in case you are offended by swearing, There is quite a bit of swearing throughout the album. The songs have good beat to them and use a variety of instruments in the throughout the album ...

helpa4eva
Advantages: A very good album, with a lot of good songs. Disadvantages: Album cover could be made brighter.
Ever since the song "Where is the Love?" by the black eyed peas was released in 2002/2003, the band has been on a constant upward rise to fame and fortune, whilst still releasing some fantastic songs such as "Shut Up" featuring some fantastic danncing by. All there songs have a meaning, such as the beautiful "where is the love" stating that war is bad, and the world must listen to each other which is too true. Also, one of there most latest songs ...

Bens_Bird
Advantages: there songs can be relaxing or energetic Disadvantages: no 1 gives them enough credit for there music
All I can say about black eyed peas is that there music is great and just keeps getting better and better. there songs actually have some kind of meaning(where is the love), and they have something for everyone. they are quality and they have an image for the music industry. the best song has to be "where is the love?" how many rap type artists do you know that think about the world and the effects that war ect. has on countries? I think that the ...
