Wow!!!This albm is one of those rare albums were every track sunds really good. I've been listening to the whole album over and over again and I'm not getting bored by it. pThis album is definitely more mature compared to elephunk. The beats are more outstanding and the collaborations with other artists also makes this album really great. The collaboration with Jack Johnson was also a great one. If your no BEP fan..try buying this album, definitely a change from all those gangster hating rap stuff who just talk about their life, money, chickks and other stuff to prove how manly they are.
Monkey Business - Black eyed peas June 25, 2005

I think this is such a good album which has similarities to a lot of other songs around at the moment. 'My Humps' is hollaback girl all over again. And 'Like That' speaks for itself but if you need a clue: Mariah Carey. br I haven't had it for a fortnight but have listened to it over 60 times!!! Monkey business - work out to it, dance to it, get addicted to it.
Pure madness, but you will love it! September 30, 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, RB, Rap and the odd rock and latino-ish track, and will not leave you dissapointed!
br /
br /The album starts off with the rock track Pump It, and continues with the RB 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 RB style, with production from the legendary Slick Rick!
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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!
br /
br /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"!
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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 Original Peas making a proper Hip Hop joint, to appeal to their original fans! Next is a song clearly sampling Sting's Englishman In New York, and features the man himself in the chorus, and a solo verse.
br /
br /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!
br /
br /The album is very varied, and the Peas will continue to leave us guessing where their music will go next! Highly reccomended

Just got this album today. Have to say it's absolutely wicked, as good as elephunk, if not better! Featuring the top hit single "dont phunk with my heart" (sadly it only reached #7 in the chart, although it was up against some good competition!).pOne good thing only the black eyed peas can pull off is having every song a unique sound, and a different rhythm. "Pump It" is a fast, energetic jazz which just makes you want to jump up and dance! pWhereas "Gone Going Gone" is a slower, more relaxed tune that makes you want a sing along!pA great buy, well worth it at just £8.99! A must have all BEP fans, and even people who havent liked their songs in the past.
