    Until the last two songs, whose overwrought drama I don't have to like just because I trust its verisimilitude, they hit every time.

    It's just a shame she gave album space to Mariah-slick motivational ballads such as The Great Escape, which detract from an otherwise fierce record.

    Pink works best as a one-woman army.

    Maybe not a wholly successful album then, but at its best, The Truth About Love proves that Pink can still credibly compete with the pop stars she helped to inspire.

  1. WOW! P!nk has always delivered amazing albums, but this one is just mind blowing. Definitely one of the best albums of the year, and probably her best one yet! And that says a lot! This album will make you cry, laugh, dance... It has at least one song for absolutely everybody! Her songwriting is just as good as it used to be, if not better, and we all know P!nk has always been the best song writer in the pop music scenario. 10/10 album, hands down. Expand
  2. I don't feel like I need to say too much. Pink knows what she wants and what she's doing, her music has always been ON POINT. The Truth About Love is just another part of her continuing career. Great pop-rock moments, a album and fun stuff. The worst tracks are probably Walk of Shame, Beam Me Up and The Truth About Love, which they aren't bad but they give the album a little heavy feeling when they come up.The best tracks are Are We All We Are?, powerful pop-rock song features a great production (co-produced by John Hill), Blow Me (One Last Kiss), a great first single, one of her best and I also LOVE Where Did the Beat Go?, the Sober of the album. great track.

    Some very good songs, others are noisy and screechy and a bit irritating. I do find the language used appropriate for Pink but sometimes it is present in unusual places. I like some of the songs and skip some. A bit samesy but decent nonetheless. Expand
  4. Why after more than 10 years in the industry she's still singing the same song to me?
    The only redeemable tracks this album has is Just Give
    a Reason and Try and the last one is a cover. Expand
