Bringing together sounds topping and tailing half a decade, this double CD box set delivers a comprehensive 32 tracks from The Black Eyed Peas albums 'Behind The Front' (2000) and 'Monkey Business' (2005). This collection reflects the The Black Eyed Peas' musical evolution as they rose towards megastardom and guarantees enjoyment for fans of all of the band's incarnations.
Despite the massive success of their most recent output, will.i.am is pragmatic about the hardcore of fans who still champion the band's earliest sounds, sometimes to the detriment of more recent, and more mainstream releases: "They're super older (fans). You know, Bridging The Gap is Bridging The Gap. There are going to be people years from now saying, "I wish you'd make another 'The E.N.D..'", or "I wish you'd make another 'Monkey Business'". Music is supposed to be surprising. If it isn't, it's boring."
