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 LevineCustomer Reviews:

After Journey in Land of Hip Hop, BEP Find What They Want To Do and What They Are Good At.......2006-09-12
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 smells like funk then it must be us"--"Smells Like Funk"); meanwhile, they add other elements to the new album. Latin flavor permeates through the album, along with film-score-like melancholy ("Shut Up"), Tagalog song ("The Apl Song"), alternative rock ("Anxiety"), and love and peace anthem ("Where is the Love?").
The new female vocalist, Fergie, appears in most tracks as a background vocal at least, and takes important roles in some, such as "Shut Up," "Fly Away," and "The Boogie That Be." The BEP had frequently featured female vocalists before, but as a fixed member, Fergie tremendously contributes to the band for establishing its own, recognizable sonority.
Most importantly, as a result of the changes, musical quality of the current BEP's pop funk is better than the previous BEP's organic hip hop. Seemingly the BEP have finally found what they want to do, which fortunately matches to what they are good at, after their journey in the land of hip hop.
