Black Eyed Peas - Elephunk

Argh, the embarrassment! This one is definitely a skeleton in the closet! So, to avoid giving this album a "proper" review, I decided to throw it out instead.

Some of the songs have a strong and catchy groove (Hey Mama, Smells Like Funk, Latin Girls, Sexy, The Boogie That Be, The Apl Song), but the lyrics are brain-meltingly inane.

And while I expected their hit Let's Get Retarded to remain a catchy party tune, it turns out to have no appeal any more. So I guess you had to be there...

Ummm...cough... I must admit that I somehow enjoy the trailer-trash mini-opera that is Shut Up. Oh, the shame!

Worthwhile?

Allegedly, the Black Eyed Peas were a respectable band at one stage. That must have long before they released this album.
