Although the lead single here prominently samples an '80s touchstone, The Beginning isn't a nostalgia trip. Barring a Slick Rick or Chic sample here and a Mr. Roboto reference there (plus buckets of hi-res synth driving the productions), nothing else directly evokes the '80s.

Although the lead single here prominently samples an '80s touchstone, The Beginning isn't a nostalgia trip. Barring a Slick Rick or Chic sample here and a Mr. Roboto reference there (plus buckets of hi-res synth driving the productions), nothing else directly evokes the '80s. As on the Peas' last two LPs, it's heavily reliant on nightclub anthems and will.i.am's throwback rapping, alongside Auto-Tune harmonies and waves of synth. "I Gotta Feeling" from 2009 casts a long shadow on this record of don't-stop-the-party jams and club-life tracks. It leads off with a pumping first single, "The Time (Dirty Bit)," built off Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes' "(I've Had) The Time of My Life." Other highlights include "The Best One Yet (The Boy)" and "Don't Stop the Party." ~ John Bush, Rovi
