Editorial Review:

Album Description:
UK edition of 2003 album features 16 tracks including 2 UK bonus tracks, 'Rock My Shit' & 'What's Goin Down'. Universal.

Amazon.com:
Black Eyed Peas have at times been accused of sounding too Tribe for their own good, but this time out Will.i.am and crew have consciously expanded their horizons. Problem is, perhaps they've tried too hard. As the title suggests, Elephunk borrows from every single element of funk known to man and (with the exception of the one straight-out rock & roll track, 'Anxiety') tries to cram them all into a semi-hip-hop format. While such willingness to experiment is admirable, in this case the attempt comes off as slightly desperate and too diffuse. Elephunk settles itself into a groove when BEP's newest member Fergie’s lush girlie vocals are allowed to dominate, as they do on the discofied 'The Boogie That Be.' --Rebecca Levine

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - After Journey in Land of Hip Hop, BEP Find What They Want To Do and What They Are Good At
Elephunk, the third album of the Black Eyed Peas, shows consequential musical differences from their preceding albums. Dominant musical style was shifted from organic hip hop to pop funk; at the same time, range of the styles through the whole album got broadened; and a regular female vocalist officially joined the group.

Most songs from their first and second albums are based on repeated beats, even performed by a live band. On the contrary, many from Elephunk have prototypical pop tune structures: thematic parts and bridges. Now the audience's primary perception of a song is neither its beat nor its lyric, but its thematic melody (Think "Let's Get Retarded," for example). This must be a big turn-off for fans who have supported the BEP as a hip hop group, while making the band more accessible to a huge chunk of pop listeners.

The BEP even clearly declare that they are a funk band ("If it ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - favorite cd

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - So-So Album
This album could have been a little better than it was but i cant complain about it cuz there were a few good songs on that cd (lets get it started lets get retarted where is the love) but was it really necisarry to swear in almost all of the songs? this cd is really a PARENTAL ADVISORY cd but it doesnt say it!
I heard about that one from the TARGET website from some other dude. Anyway...it could have been better without the swearing. Also i cant listen 2 it on my stereo cuz my parents think there is 2 much swearing in it...it sucks!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Elephunk ~ Black Eyed Peas
Elephunk~ Black Eyed Peas is a great album with great production value. I love the samples, vocals and the vibe of this great album. The lyrics are well written but the decision not to include the lyrics is weak. Apart from this, the book-let is very well done and I love the photos of the band and the font is easy on the eye. This is a great album not to miss out. Highly recommended indeed.
