Following The E.N.D., a blockbuster album that went platinum in over a dozen countries, The Beginning is the Black Eyed Peas' sixth studio album. Its first single is "The Time (Dirty Bit)," a lighthearted and sleek dance-pop song that incorporates the BEPs' spin on the chorus to Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes' 1987 hit "(I've Had) The Time of My Life."

Professional Reviews

Rolling Stone - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The Peas have always been stylistically flexible, and on THE BEGINNING, they give themselves over more fully than ever to the groove palette of club culture, stirring up electro funk, Euro-trance and classic disco..."

Spin (p.68) - "Peas leader will.i.am mixes up house and disco beats, Chic and Slick Rick samples, wonky Moog hooks, crunchy guitars, and '70s funk bass into one of the year's wildest sonic stews."

Billboard (p.26) - "Echoes of 'Dirty Dancing,' ghetto tech, Daft Punk, early Gwen Stefani and more waft throughout the set....The music is expertly produced..."
