Alright I have to say I've never really got into black eyed peas before I heard this cd, I think it's mostly because I always thought they were just another crap band in the same vein as Baha Men. Wow, was I ever wrong. This album is filled with songs that will have you listening over and over again, and the production of each song is so incredible that you can do nothing but listen in awe. Give the CD a chance, at least a few listens before you judge it because the songs only sound better with time. Also, don't judge the cd based on the first single, because on the surface 'where is the love' seems to be just another bubblegum pop type song, even though it's actually as well crafted and original as any of the songs on this cd. This cd is wonderful and I can't do nothing but give it praise.
