October 28, 201014 yr So apparently these are actually the official covers: STANDARD: http://imgur.com/EAOTl.jpg DELUXE: http://imgur.com/pDBfv.jpg
October 28, 201014 yr Author Well there's not much difference. :P I do like the colours on that deluxe edition though! The whole "Best of The E.N.D." thing seems a bit stupid though, as if they're saying it never existed when it was absolutely huge...!
October 29, 201014 yr I'm glad they've gone back to that style of covers. I do like the cover for 'The E.N.D' though.
October 29, 201014 yr I really like those covers! They remind me of the cover for 'Elephunk'. I hope the album is better than 'The Time (The Dirty Bit)', it's an alright song but it's nowhere near as good as most of the songs from 'The E.N.D.'

November 10, 201014 yr Author This is all a bit too similar to 'The E.N.D.' from the direction of music to the artwork to the photoshoots. :(
November 11, 201014 yr SPIN.com caught up with Will.i.am. to break down some of the album's highlights: "Do It Like This" Like the two-part techno-funk epic "Imma Be," the Black Eyed Peas splice together two club-ready jams into one five minute track. "Do It Like This" was months in the making. Will had left-over beats from working with Usher on "Oh My God" so he wanted to sample fans' opinions before using them on Black Eyed Peas' new tunes. After DJ'ing one night in Toronto, Will brought back strangers to play them his creations. "I told them, 'Don't be afraid to say its whack. Don't tell me it's cool because you're being polite,'" says Will. "So I played them music and everybody was like, 'Ugh!'" Still, Will stands by the beats that make up "Do It Like This," which has a dizzying, minimal German techno vibe. "I don't care if you've shot a billion people and I don't care if you've sold crack to the Pope," says Will. "That beat is harder than any attitude or any freakin' mug-shot face. It goes to a place no hip-hopper would go to right now." "XOXOXO" The wildest song on the record, "XOXOXO" is four minutes of robotic voices, icy synths, skeletal beats and Will wooing a lady via text message with hilarious lines like "Girl, you stole my heart like a klepto / Butterflies in my stomach, need Pepto." Will says he wanted to make something totally unlike "I Gotta Feeling," where each member had easily-identifiable vocals. So he crafted a hook so saturated in Auto-Tune, it's impossible to tell if it's Will or Fergie singing on the chorus. "We wanted to use the combination of our voices, which is unique," he says. "It's not about who's singing what part. A lot of times, people fall short in the studio worrying about who gets to sing which part." "Fashion Beats" An undeniably catchy dance number featuring Fergie's sex-kittenish, Debby Harry-esque vocals. The disco and funk pulse is authentic: Will cribbed a sample of Chic's 1979 classic "My Forbidden Lover" for this tune. "Fergie's all like, 'Faaaaaashion!'" says Will. "It's crazy fresh!" "Don't Stop the Party" A buzzing, hot club jam that features whoosing synths and slap-funk bass grooves. Will's lyrics are some of his funniest yet: dude manages to rap "lyricals" and "digital" with "aboriginals" and "genitals" in a thick, Caribbean patois. It's the longest track on the album at close to six-minutes — but Will is proud enough of the song that he'd even play it for Jay-Z. "I would go to Jay's studio and play this be like 'Boom! Check it out!,' says Will. "Then I go dirty Caribbean on him on the last verse."
November 11, 201014 yr Author Ooh, they sound quite good so far! :o 'Someday' sounds really good, and I love the sound of a massive solo song from Fergie with 'Whenever'. :wub: 'Light Up the Night' also sounds good. :)
November 11, 201014 yr It all sounds a bit ehhhh to me. Although, I DO love the sound of 'Do It Like This', 'Own It' and 'Just Can't Get Enough'. It all seems a bit rushed to me, just because 'The E.N.D.' was such a huge success.
November 11, 201014 yr THANK GOD the album sounds promising! I was beginning to go off them... A couple of songs actually sound amazing! ^_^
