    Pink works best as a one-woman army.

    Truth falls in line with the Kelly-Ke$ha-Katy dance-pop fare du jour.

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

    On her sixth album, The Truth About Love, the singer-songwriter born Alecia Moore continues her winning ways.

    Her sixth studio album, The Truth About Love, is, as usual, an assortment of potential singles.

    It'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.

    If 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.

    The Truth About Love is a peerlessly witty, endlessly melodic tour de force.

    It's weird and willfully, proudly human, a big pop album about real emotions and one of P!nk's wildest rides.
  10. 100
    The 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.

    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.

    I even would call it the best Album of the year. You will find every thing you want on this record. Songs to dance, songs to laugh, songs to think and songs to cry.

    It's a true masterpiece and I will never regret buying it.

    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 probablyWOW! 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. Full Review »
