The Black Eyed Peas new Album E.N.D. or “The Energy Never Dies” is full of fast paced rave style rapping that gets you singing along. Most of the songs have the fast paced almost hip hop lyrics they are so famous for.

Who doesn’t love “Rock that Body” though it appears to be a compilation of DJ E-Z Rocks 1988 hit “It takes Two”. Still “Rock that Body” is a great song and possibly one of the better songs on this album. This comes from a person who loves that 80’s music. The Black Eyed Peas have the power to get out there and get your body moving, your feet tapping and your butt shaking.

This album was basically an effort by English band Coldplay, to break away from their usual style and to try out for something a bit more creative and new, something that will help expand their horizon. Now compared to the rest of the bands albums most of the tracks in Viva La Vida talk about war and sometimes even death and God.

Now the firsts single released by the band in this album called “Violet Hill” also marks the first song which was anti war and was released by Coldplay. You can find very eminent guitar riffs in this song and a lot of work with the keyboards.

Now if you listen to it carefully you will find that the song is completely different from what the band originally started with.
