The E.N.D. (The Energy Never Dies) by Black Eyed Peas (CD, Jun-2009, Interscope Records USA)

When I learned that the BEP'S were releasing a new album I was excited. However, upon purchasing the E.N.D. and undertaking several listening sessions, I have to say that this album is a major disappointment. As a fan I know that the main themes the group consistently talks about is partying and global unity. The problem is that those themes have gotten stale. I think that they need to come up with fresh material.

All the songs sound similar to each other with little variation, or too identical to tracks from their previous albums "Elephunk" and "Monkey Business". One of the songs even has Fergie singing a line that is the same style as "Ferglicious" off her "Duchess" album. The Peas need new original material, instead of resorting to samples from other artists like Bow Wow Wow's "I Want Candy" on the song "Electric City" and Rob Base "it Takes Two" on the song "Rock That Body".

The standouts are the catchy and highly played "Boom Boom Pow" and "Rock That Body" where the Rob Base song "It Takes Two" is sampled and acts as an anchor to save the song.

This material leaves much to be desired. With most forgettable songs, I rate The E.N.D. a grade of D.

I liked how the cd I bought was in perfect condition. They shipped it quickly as well. I would recommend this seller to others/

The CD was just OK in my opinion. I expected a much better piece of work based on the previous work I've heard from this group. Buy it CHEAP or not at all. I wish I hadn't!!

Music was HOT!!!!

Excellent disc. Up tempo music if your in to that. Highly recommended. Disc is very solid start to finish. You will enjoy this cd.

The Black Eyed Peas are great to begin with! However, this CD is probably my favorite. Song #1, Boom Boom Pow gets you moving. Song #3, Meet me Halfway has a "catchy" sound to it and you'll still be thinking about it while listening to the next song. Song #5, I Gotta Feeling, is one of those you'll be singing later in the day, when you realize it's been stuck in your head throughout the morning--you can't sit still with this beat. The next few songs, #9, Party all the time is a good number, however, #12, Showdown has my entire family consumed till the end...the haunting voice at the end is a bit creepy. I also enjoy #13, Now Generation... You can feel the energy reignite. Great CD that you'll need to listen to at least 3 times through to make you realize there are more songs you actually enjoy than those you don't. After a 30 minute workout with this CD, you'll feel like you've lost 5 - 10 pounds.

Unique great, fabuloso.It's a great cd to colect or to have just to party in your house.Quality is great.

I thought it was awesome. it has a lot of bumping bass. I liked the whole cd, not just one or two songs on it.I would definitely recommend it.

I look forward to buying from you again. The prize and quality of the product was outstanding. Thank you for the quick shipping on this item.

This CD is for both the tween and adult. Love the music and it's gonna make a great Christmas present for my daughter. The low price, even with shipping, was cheaper than buying it in a store!

I ordered and paid for 2 and only received 1. This one has never been shipped!
You were pain 10/26/09 and have not got it yet. My records show it has never even been shipped yet. Why?

I love the CD!It is something different, but a good kind of different. The CD was shipped to my address in a quick amount of time. Would definitly recommend this seller!

This is the Peas at thier best. You will enjoy these tunes as some feature the awesome voice of Fergie.

After hearing the song "Boom, Boom, Pow" by this group numerous times at a favorite restaurant, I did a Google search using some of the lyrics in the song so that I could find out the song's title and the name of the artist who sings it. Thanks to this search, I was then able to order a copy of this album. So now, even though I still very much enjoy going to my favorite restaurant and hearing the DJ spin tunes, I can hear that "thumpin', pumpin', bumpin'" bass sound whenever I want to. I had heard the song at the restaurant numerous times, and I wanted to own a copy of a CD containing that particular song. So I'm thankful! And if you want to know what I like about it, three words: the boomin' bass. Peace, Y'all.

I love the black eyed peas. I love the new cd. I has great new rhythm. Th songs are easy to understand. Thy are the best cd of the year according to me.

i like this kind of music and thought I'd get a better deal by buying it on ebay. I ended up buying two black eyed peas cd's because I was getting a bargain.

I received this item yesterday. This Cd is awesome! Love it, love it. It has so many of the songs that I hear on the radio. This group is so professional and business oriented. They must have hired a good team.
