The Black Eyed Peas: The Beginning; Album Review

    One of The Black Eyed Peas' best albums yet.
    Before I review this album, let me say one thing. I am a HUGE  fan of The Black Eyed Peas. I could probably name all of their songs off the top of my head right now. No joke. Before The E.N.D. came out, I was really excited for the album. Well, I was disappointed. Instead of making music with original beats and nice vocals, they welcomed auto-tune to the party. I didn't really like the album, but I grew into it... kind of.  But this album didn't disappoint. They still had auto-tune, but I thought it was used a little better than the last album. This should definitely be on your list for downloading.
   The album starts out with The Time (Dirty Bit), the hit single released before the album. It's another one of their partying songs with a good feel to them. Plus, they sampled part of a different song. Another highlight on the album is Love You Long Time. It's also another one of their love songs. The two best songs to me were XOXOXO and Do It Like This. XOXOXO is about how we can express love through technology, and the outcome was great. Do It Like This reminded me of Boom Boom Pow, a song that seemed to have no meaning at all, but had some meaning after all. (Even if the meaning was pathetic) And comes out as an awesome song.
   Although I thought it was better than The E.N.D., I still thought it could use some more work. B

What to Download:
Hit single The Time (Dirty Bit)
Love You Long Time
XOXOXO
Do it Like This
