Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 11 out of 20
  2. Negative: 1 out of 20
  1. With American Idol rampant, it's nice to have this emotional hipster sticking her celebrity cred in the stupid world's face.
  2. Where this translates, then, is with those willing to man up and embrace what makes Pink Pink: her spellbinding ability to render rebelliousness in all the many colors of the rainbow.
  3. Next time, she needs to dump the tired wild-girl shtick, unleash her lung-power and the world will fall at her feet. For now, this is just another album of production-line US pop.
  4. This latest effort sees her turn indistinguishable. [1 Apr 2006, p.43]

    1. Stupid Girls - This song is mean. That's a fact. I understand the intent, and I respect the attempt to share her opinion on the matter, but I really think she went a little bit far with this song, and she crossed the line with the video. The song itself isn't bad. It's catchy, but the lyrics are too much. 3.5/5

    2. Who Knew - Without doubt, Who Knew is the best song on the album. It's really beautiful and shows off her softer side. I remember listening to this song on the radio when i was like, 8. Who knew that one day, I'd love it as much as I do. It's just... amazing. It's one of the best songs of all time. 5/5

    3. Long Way to Happy - It's a cool song. I love the chorus. It's more countryish-rock that most of the CD. It has a really great vibe. I love the instermental in it. It's not anything special, though. It really gets overshadowed by the rest of the CD. 3.5/5

    4. Nobody Knows - It's a really strong ballad. Everything about it is great. It has so much power to it. Her vocals are amazing here. 4/5

    5. Dear Mr. President - Lots of controversy over this track. No matter your political party, you really have to think about the lyrics for a minute. They don't really do anything to offend republicans. It could apply to any president. It really describes why I will never be president. 4/5

    6. I'm Not Dead - Her album titles always seem to be some of the weaker songs on the album. I could think of a better album name. That being said, this is a little better than her other title tracks, but still overshadowed by the rest of the CD. It's just not my cup of tea. 3/5

    7. Cuz I Can - This is one of the more generic songs on the CD. I try to stay away from generic music, but Cuz I Can is pretty catchy. It's got a really powerful beat. The lyrics are well written, but the message is messy. 3.5/5

    8. Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely) - The best track since Who Knew. The chorus is super catchy & fun, but it's not generic at all. It's got nice lyrics, too. It's one of those songs that make you want to dance and all that. 4.5/5

    9. U + Ur Hand - One of the standouts. The chorus is one of the best on the album. The verses are pretty weak though. It's a really fun track. It'll def make you dance. 4/5

    10. Runaway - Runaway is one of the best songs on the CD. Everything about it is absoulutely flawless. It has really nice lyrics. The beat is a little slow, but it's not bad. The chorus is to die for. It's not upbeat, but it's really nice and one of the best on the CD. 5/5

    11. The One That Got Away - The album goes acoustic for TOTGA. Not sure about it though. The lyrics are nice, but "He made cappactinos, what kind of man makes cappatinos?" Really? I know she can do better than that. It's really nice, though. 3.5/5

    12. I Got Money Now - I'm not sure if putting this after The One That Got Away was a good idea. It might get a little boring by this point. It's more R&Bish than the rest of the CD. I'm not sure the point of the song. She has money now, so everything is okay? Doesn't sound like the message I'd expect from her. Anyways, it's an okay song. 3/5

    13. Conversations With My 13 Year Old Self - It's such a beautiful song. It's really sad, and I think she did a great job with it. It's really haunting, and one of the best songs on the CD. 5/5

    14. I Have Seen The Rain - The song means a special meaning to her, so I think it does have its place on the CD. Acoustic songs aren't her high point. The lyrics are really nice, though. 3.5/5

    15. Heartbreaker - Leaving this off of the standard edition was a mistake. It's better than most of the songs that did make the standard album. It's got a great rock style to it. 4/5

    16. Centerfold - It's a great song, and I would have rather seen this than any of the acoustic music. It's not catchy, but rock isn't made to be catchy. 4/5

    17. Fingers - What's with that music? If you pitched it, it could be a Britney Spears song. Fortunately, I'm a huge Britney fan, and Britney def does clubby songs better. P!nk should stick to rock-pop, as that's what she does best.

  3. An extraordinary good album for pop standards. P!nk's got punky songs and deeper ones, always sung good with decent lyrics. She mixes the music for the radio with the meaningful stuff (Dear Mr. President, Nobody Knows) with the entertaining radio stuff (U + Ur Hand, Fingers) and hence "I'm Not Dead" is a good album. But it's no 8 or 9 or 10 - it would need a lot more to get such a rating... Expand
