DeBaser reviews for The Black Eyed Peas show a split reception: praised for danceable, radio-friendly hits and high-profile collaborations but criticised for perceived lack of originality. Elephunk and Monkey Business are highlighted often; The Beginning is noted for its electronic/disco turn and heavy use of auto-tune. Reviews mention strong singles that drive sales while deeper album consistency is questioned.
