Review Chicago: BEP and The E.N.D. bring the F-U-N.
Welcome. Welcome to the end. Do not panic. There is nothing to fear. Everything around you is changing. Nothing stays the same. This version of myself is not permanent. Tomorrow, I will be different. The energy never dies. Energy cannot be destryoed or created. It always is. And it always will be. This is the end. And the beginning. Forever. Infinite.
And so opens the Black Eyed Peas’ new record, The E.N.D. (Energy Never Dies). The deep, warped voice is kind of what God would sound like if She were a black man. It would also be kind of trippy to hear if one happened to be high while listening. Just sayin’.
<lies>I’d like to begin this review by stating that I am going to be as objective as possible and try to separate myself from my bias toward will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo, and Fergie-Ferg’s Collective Ferosh Fiercenessness.</lies>
This band is the Boom! Awesome Bomb.
Actually, one of the reasons why I LOVE this album is because dancing and partying take up big chunks in the pie chart of my life. The E.N.D. is a strong proponent of that lifestyle, so I don’t feel nearly as bad about myself.
This is totally true. Just kidding. No, it is.
If I could party all night and sleep all day
And throw all of my problems away
My life would be easy
…is the chorus on a track called “Party All Night.” The command “party all the time” is repeated 44 times (I literally counted), and the song ends with Fergie saying in her most seductive voice: “I’m so tipsy. Iiii’m so tiiipsyy.“
Yes. Yes.
