Nonstop partying is more than just a favorite lyrical theme for the Black Eyed Peas — it’s a business plan. Less than 18 months after dropping their last multi-platinum smash, The E.N.D., the tireless troupe are already back with another full-length disc. If you’ve heard first single ”The Time (Dirty Bit),” an undercooked attempt at remaking Dirty Dancing soundtrack staple ”(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” as a dance-floor banger, you might be forgiven for wondering if the Peas’ accelerated release schedule has come at the cost of diminished creative energy. Don’t fret. Simply skip past ”Time,” which is conveniently sequenced as the opening track, and you’ll have a set that delivers as many sugary treats as any Peas platter to date.
