    This Album is by far worth the listen- it is filled with brilliant stand-alone tracks. This is not my type of music, yet i still love Pink and her songs. My only negative comment would be that it isn't quite as good as her last album. Leaning to much towards conventional pop with tracks such as 'So What". Despite this, a great album. Stand-out tracks for me are: "Sober" "Please Don't LeaveThis Album is by far worth the listen- it is filled with brilliant stand-alone tracks.

    P!nk has released amazing albums like Mizzundastood and I'm Not Dead which make you wanna get dancing as her amazing voice hits you but this is something new. her bratty, sexy, sad, yet fun record gets you going again, swaying your head to the beat of hard songs like So What and laughing with Bad Influence.

    Funhouse is a great pop-rock album. "Sober" is a masterpiece, while other tracks such as "So What" and "Please don't leave me" are also very catchy. Despite being serious and emotional, there are also fun -not generic- songs in this album. Definitely worth a listen.

    The best album of P!nk's career. The slow songs don't hold back the upbeat party tracks even for one second, and her voice delivers more emotion than ever before. I had so much fun listening to this. Best tracks: So What, Funhouse, Please Don't Leave Me, and Sober.

    Not a die hard fan by any means, but this album has some great singles. The slow serious songs may not match Morrissey levels, but the pop anthems are above anything "serious" songwriters could envision. P!nk just has "it." I can't help but root for her.

    It's a really solid pop/rock album. It has songs that are slow and serious, and songs that are fast and fun, and there are excellent tracks in both categories. More fun would be appreciated, but fortunately, the slow songs don't weigh it down too much.

    Pink has done it again. This album is as good, if not better than I'm Not Dead. I hope it sells very well for her.

    A perfectly balanced album with a song (or more) for everyone. Pink has outdone herself, once again! I love this CD.

    Funhouse is fun, but it doesn't have the best songs. It's P!nk's best album, and P!nk's sassiest yet, but she really isn't all that groundbreaking anyway, is she?

    really, this album is a rip-off, one of her worst one's ever but yet one of the best. so what & funhouse and a couple other tracks are good but i do not like the rest. this album could improve way better.

    Funhouse was P!nk's best album until she released her new one last year. This album is just pop rock perfection. "Sober" was dark and haunting where "So What" was just crazy fun and "Glitter In The Air" was sweet and heart warming. This album has it all.

    Funhouse is an exciting and trembling journey for Alecia Beth Moore, AKA P!nk with her turbulent relationship with Carey Hart. "so what " is a song which can mesmerize people with such a simple,repetitive melody. "Glitter in the air" is simply a lyrical masterpiece. "mean" is probably one of the best-written song by P!nk and Butch Walker.

    Funhouse is by far the best album that P!nk has produced--continuing the uphill trend--and it is the best album I have reviewed so far, not an easy accomplishment. Of course, when we look at the song scores, it becomes clear why the album scored so well. Almost every song got a perfect score, and 43% of the songs in here got a favorites mark, which is an extremely high percentage. So What is one of my absolute favorite songs, and I really enjoyed Bad Influence, Funhouse, and It’s All Your Fault, as well as others. There were not any bad songs on the album, which was another pleasant surprise. I loved Funhouse so much and would happily recommend it to anyone who loves great music, since it totally rocked. Highlights: So What, Sober, I Don’t Believe You, Please Don’t Leave Me, Bad Influence, Funhouse, Crystal Ball, Mean, It’s All Your Fault, Ave Mary A, Why Did I Ever Like You, and Could’ve Had Everything.    … Expand

    The 2nd best album of P!nk is here. Funhouse has a list of love-gone-wrong tracks with the highlights being Sober and Glitter in the air. Excellent vocals and production.

    So what may be the signature for P!nk's career, but all of the tracks in this album are jams. P!nk shows us that love can be as painful as it's beautiful

    The sadder Pink gets, the better the big, rocky roar that characterizes much of the disc sounds.

    Her new album lays into her ex-husband with devilish choruses and potent hooks.

    Funhouse would be more fun if Pink went easier on the bad-love songs.
