LaurieBJul 3, 2009Only a couple of stand out songs, and those would have fit just as well on a Fergie album. This album feels unimaginative and tired.

MichaelK.Aug 7, 2009This album can hardly be described as music.

MileshJul 5, 2009The only reason it gets a 1 is because of Boom Boom Pow. The rest of the songs are pure crap. Why did the Peas sell out?

QuayTJun 17, 2009Black Eyed Peas has fallen victim to the Auto-Tune craze that's destroying hip-hop. I can only hope will.i.am snaps out of his own egoism and remembers the fun but socially aware style that put him on the map.

AlanJul 24, 2009I hate this band so much. I hate them. That said, the two singles are catchy as hell.

DZSep 12, 2009Boom Boom Pow steals its lyrics from the Flight of the Conchords' song (she's so hot) Boom, which was making fun of this kind of crap.

TmanHJun 13, 2009Anyone who listened beyond 'Bridging the Gap', and 'Behind The Front' would be bitterly disappointed unless mere 'pop' music is something you enjoy. Rhythmically and lyrically disingenuous is the most concise I could be about this album.

yasinmJun 11, 2009I have been a black eyed peas fan since everything that came after que dices, and i can say that this is the worst album ever. I was anticipating this album for a while and it really dissapointed me, a lot of the funk and rap is just gone and there has been waaay too much computer voice stuff added to it. I couldn't listen to anysong except boom boom pow for more than 10 seconds.

Dec 14, 2016Clunky and overproduced. Fergie sounds out of tune on most tracks (the abysmal 'Meet Me Half Way'), and yet autotune is overused on most tracks?
'Boom Boom Pow' and 'Rock That Body' are two storming tracks and just about save the album from being a total disaster. -

Aug 5, 2011An album that prooves "moving with the times" can be taken to the extreme, not by changing your sound or genre but by suddenly loosing all manor of talent. Bad rapping, bad lyrics and bad auto tuning do not make for a good purchase. Save your money and just buy 'Rock Your Body' and 'Boom Boom Pow', the best of a simply awful collection.

The E.N.D. (Energy Never Dies) is a mess of pop/dance/rap crossover.
-
Group mastermind will.i.am's attempt at social commentary on 'Now Generation' comes off more like an ''I just got DSL!'' laundry list. But when the group's glitchy future-funk beats sync up with Fergie's unabashedly feminine melodies, as on the sweetly insidious 'Meet Me Halfway,' they find pure Top 40 nirvana.

Most of The E.N.D. doesn't ask too much from those fans. Its more substantive musical and thematic statements are interrupted by many others showing the Peas' deep, deep commitment to a good party.
