With American Idol rampant, it's nice to have this emotional hipster sticking her celebrity cred in the stupid world's face.
-
This is the third album in a row where she's thrown a curve ball, confounding expectations by delivering a record that's wilder, stronger, and better than the last.
-
Entertainment WeeklyEven her misses are ballsier and blusterier than most everybody else's recent hits. [7 Apr 2006, p.58]
-
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.
-
A wildly ambitious album that solidifies Pink’s status as superbad funky rocker chick.
-
Los Angeles TimesThe more serious numbers often feel clunky. [2 Apr 2006]
-
BlenderStriking [and] confident. [Apr 2006, p.116]
-
Pink's sound is more aggressive this time and owes more to '80s pop/rock than contemporary hip-hop--with dollops of folk and blues.
-
Surprisingly impressive.
-
Whether she sings rock, pop, R&B or her usual combination of all three, [Pink] is belting more urgently and taking more risks than her pop-radio contemporaries.
-
The only sign of life is that filthy mouth and cherry-vanilla hair.
-
It's when Pink steps outside of expectations that she turns exciting.
-
The music here is a weird mish-mash of FM rock, folky ballads, and funky, poppy dance tracks. It makes for a diverting, interesting listen - but not a totally successful one.
-
Pink's rhymes still rely too heavily on adolescent clichés and there's an air of contrived confessionalism throughout the album.
-
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.
-
UncutExtremely mixed results. [May 2006, p.119]
-
Q MagazineBe warned: wisdom, soul searching and politics often lead to earnest power chords and clenched fists when coupled with poodle rock. [May 2006, p.123]
-
The top half of the album is stuffed to the gills with dry Pat Benatar rips and unexciting ballads.
-
The New York TimesA wildly uneven mixture of pop treats and melodramatic misfires. [3 Apr 2006]
-
New Musical Express (NME)This latest effort sees her turn indistinguishable. [1 Apr 2006, p.43]
