Black Eyed Peas Part II ...

... In the new era with the tubed up gently voiced Fergie.
And again confirms what was seen on the previous album already: what has become of the good old BEPs. Where are good, genuine beats paired with real lyrics?
Quote of reviewers: "it's just a great mix of the BEP has always been excellent ..."
Yes, just what mix ???? In my view, the BEPs with this album its authenticity loss have come back a little closer: as POP with rap, hip hop and what-do-I-not-all mixed up the audiologist will again come.
Worst of all, it is my opinion, this wonderful Sample "Pump It Up" accommodate from "Pulp Fiction" in - almost a small crime that since has happened to the BEPs that impressed earlier exclusively with own samples !!!
Conclusion:
As always: the first two albums are unbeatable - in everything !!! Since a healthy mix was still estimated - far away from the commercial and from the pop business. Really good music sells itself just by itself; without a FERGIE and Kommerzkram !!!
