Oct 8, 2012Pink works best as a one-woman army.
-
Sep 27, 2012Truth falls in line with the Kelly-Ke$ha-Katy dance-pop fare du jour.
-
Sep 25, 2012Until the last two songs, whose overwrought drama I don't have to like just because I trust its verisimilitude, they hit every time.
-
Sep 21, 2012Maybe 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.
-
Sep 20, 2012For major label singer-songwriter stuff, not bad. Moore knows her way around hooks.
-
Sep 18, 2012On her sixth album, The Truth About Love, the singer-songwriter born Alecia Moore continues her winning ways.
-
Sep 18, 2012Her sixth studio album, The Truth About Love, is, as usual, an assortment of potential singles.
-
Sep 18, 2012It's not the left-field pop classic she seems capable of one day creating, but it also contains a handful of tracks that laser in on exactly what she does best.
-
Sep 18, 2012If The Truth About Love finds her more content than on Funhouse (which fed off of conflicting, confusing, and not altogether flattering feelings about the mess of her personal life), she's still ambivalent about her contentment.
-
Sep 17, 2012The Truth About Love is a peerlessly witty, endlessly melodic tour de force.
-
Sep 17, 2012It's weird and willfully, proudly human, a big pop album about real emotions and one of P!nk's wildest rides.
-
Sep 14, 2012The storytelling on The Truth About Love, Pink's sixth album and first full-length since 2008's Funhouse, is unfalteringly vibrant, loaded with righteous anger, irreverence, and a clear eye for the darker side.
-
Sep 14, 2012At her best, she is pop's most galvanizing tough broad, but her sixth LP devolves into self parody.
-
Sep 14, 2012Pink thankfully hasn't gone soft, and there are no real clunkers here, but the truth about The Truth About Love is that it's competently, often frustratingly more of the same from an artist who still seems capable of much more.
-
Sep 14, 2012It'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.
-
Sep 14, 2012[The Truth About Love] veers between two modes: workmanlike ballads delivered with beyond-workmanlike shading; and chunky guitar pop stuffed with shouty, bad-girl choruses. Unfortunately the second dominates.
