Before I rated this album today the only 0.5/5 I had given is to a Crazy Frog album and lets face it, if anything deserves a 0.5/5 that does. While I have never been a big fan of the Black Eyed Peas, in a way they always had some pop rap tracks that were a guilty pleasure with catchy tunes. 'The Energy Never Dies' though just has nothing remotely interesting. Even on the bonus disc the remixes apart from maybe 'Shut the Phunk Up' with George Clinton's Knee Deep sample there is nothing there either. Each album of the BEP's had been quite different moving more toward mainstream pop music and away from hip hop but this is more than I thought they would change. Lyrically it's generic also and lacks anything with substance. Some will love the change, some will hate.
