| | Customer Reviews: Monkeying Around (28 February 2008)This is my faveourite album out of all the BEP Albums The music is down from the soul and is brilliant review by the flamingo (09 July 2007)black eyed peas is my favourite band im wasting my pocket money on thier cds!!. my faveroute track on this cd is 'dont phunk with my heart' by this cd for the ultimate party you know you want to. Very Good Songs (20 April 2007)I wasn't sure what to expect with this album. I was unsure whether it would be as good as their earlier one 'Elephunk', but i have been pleasantly surprised. There are some really funky, easy to listen to tracks, which i very much enjoy. For me, they've got a good beat to them and sound fantastic through my W810i with Mega Bass enabled. The unusual, but fab tracks for me were "Union" and "Bebot" as well as others well known ones such as "My Hump". Well worth the money and a good addition to your colection. Not as good as Elephunk (14 February 2007)after playing Elephunk to death I couldn't wait for a new album by the black eyed peas so I rushed out to by this when it came out but I didn't get an album that I expected after Elephunk. Don't get me wrong this album isn't rubbish but next to Elephunk it isn't anything special and this is what I expect from a first album which then should be followed up by the even better Elephunk. Only for die-hard fans this one!! Pure madness, but you will love it! (30 September 2006)The previous reviews have made very valid points; to people with a very distinctive taste in music, this will not appeal. However, the Black Eyed Peas are far from pop music. This album is a combination of Soul, R&B, Rap and the odd rock and latino-ish track, and will not leave you dissapointed! The album starts off with the rock track Pump It, and continues with the R&B styled Don't Phunk with my Heart. The weak track My Style is next, featuring the Ex- N Sync member Justin Timberlake. Don't Lie continues the R&B style, with production from the legendary Slick Rick! My Humps is the only track worth skipping, which will only appeal to dense 11 year old girls. Fergie's weak lyrics will offend many, and the poor production makes this song a flop. How it became so popular, I may never know. Like that brings the Peas back to their old school Hip Hop roots, with rappers Q-Tip and Talib Kweli, as well as Cee-Lo and John Legend who both have dissapointingly small, simultaneous parts. Dum Diddly is pure madness, and really shows off the Peas' unique style with eerie, but slightly mindless chants of "Ne ne ne ne nay!". Feel It lets Fergie show off her voice, and the club oriented track will get your feet moving! Gone Going features the popular Jack Johnson, and his style really shows through, with very deep lyrics. They Don't Want Music! screams world-famous James Brown, as he plays "that funky horn"! Disco Club is aptly titled, and is good for nothing but that. The shallow lyrics, but good flow make this a really catchy track. Bebot is another Hip Hop track, with a difference! The entire song is written in Tagalog, and is performed by the Filipino apl.de.ap. Ba Bump has more terrible lyrics unfortunately, but will.i.am's perfect production make this track more listenable. Audio Delite is, for me, a highlight of the album, with the The Peas have saved the best 'till last; and of course exclusive to us Europeans! Do What You Want has appealed to many of my rock fan friends, and the grimy beats make you wanna bump your head! The sexy If You Want Love, whilst very descriptive (!) has brilliant lyrics and instruments building to a perfect musical (and otherwise) climax! The album is very varied, and the Peas will continue to leave us guessing where their music will go next! Highly reccomended |
