in their own words	"[W]e have been able to capture what we really like. We got to capture what is going on in the world and our lives. People can relate to that better because they know what we are feeling and what we are all about. That's done a lot for us."- Apl.De.Ap.	"I think there has to be that moving thing that really inspires you and makes you want to make the best record you can and go into it thinking this might be the last record we ever make. We’ve always been that way, and I think that’s always kind of pushed us into trying different things." - Tony Kanal.

the critics	Rolling Stone: "Occasionally an actual musical genius will record a dumb song (Little Richard); more often, they are the work of one-hit wonders (Baha Men). Black Eyed Peas occupy a unique place in this tradition… they have made a kind of spiritual practice of recording dumb songs."	Rolling Stone: "Stefani wears her all-American vulnerabilities and anxieties in public not because it's a fashionably alienated pose but because she's vulnerable and anxious. She's a pure product of the American girl factory: blunt and guileless in detailing the ways that femininity has screwed her up and screwed her over."
