    Perfection, that is all i can say about the latest record from this master of pop music. This album seriously has it all from the fun raunchy dance tracks like "Slut Like You" "Blow Me" And "Walk of Shame" to the serious heart breaking songs like "Beam Me Up" "Where Did The Beat Go" and "Great Escape" and the fun songs like "True Love" and "How Come You're Not Here". There is not one bad song on this release, P!nk never disappoints. Expand

    BEAUTIFUL album! The only thing I didn't like about it was Eminem's part in "Here Comes the Weekend" it seemed obnoxiousness and irrelevant. But other than that, it's the best pop album of 2012.

    P!nk has released yet another classic record. The Truth About Love continues to feature the confessional lyrics that made us fall in love with her. Keep up the good work P!nk.

    Not like Funhouse, you can't find a super splash hit out of this album, since this album was not meant to be a part of P!nk's comeback. But P!nk managed to make an album with exactly everything her fans have been anticipating. With flawless hits like The Truth About Love and Are We All We Are, plus the song that's most likely bringing commercial success like Blow Me (One Last Kiss), it is diverse inside out. But obviously, the Lily Allen fulfilled True Love and several other songs like Try are still just one step away from being a classic, which can be summarized as the last step this album is away from perfection. But still, you deserve to own it. Expand

    P!nk's most fun album. It diverse but unified at the same time, it shows a lot of sides of love indeed. Best of: Blow Me, Try, Here Comes The Weekend, Chaos&Piss.

    The Truth About Love is the highlight of P!nk's carreer. she has crossed the limits of ordinary pop and left stars like Britney and Madonna searching for her. Definately worth a listen. frankly, it can compared as a sequel to Funhouse!!!!

    Going from the crazy "Walk of shame", arriving to the slow and sweet "Beam me up", The Truth About Love really answers P!nk's fans' needs ! Some of the hightlights of the album are the Martin-Shellback produced "Slut Like You" and the sweet sensitive "Just Give Me Reason" in which P!nk and Nate are at the top of their game ! Realllllllllyyyyy good album. I smell a Grammy-nomination in the air !

    A verdade sobre o amor é que ele pode ser um milhão de coisas. Ele te eleva ao céus e depois te jogo nos mais profundos mares. Ele te faz sentir a melhor pessoa do mundo e segundos depois te transforma na caca do cavalo do bandido. A verdade sobre o amor é que ele nunca terá a sua verdadeira forma revelada. Tentar isso explicar isso é algo impressionante, conseguir um resultado bom já é excepcional. Em seu mais novo álbum a P!nk consegue isso e mais um pouco.

    Antes de esmiuçar The Truth About Love, tenho que advertir o leitor que o trabalho tem um grande defeito. Infelizmente, o CD ainda não é a obra de arte que a P!nk poderia fazer. Ele chega bem perto disso, mas fica faltando alguns passos para isso. Dito isso, vamos a melhor noticia: The Truth About Love é o melhor álbum da cantora. O motivo é bem simples: ele é o álbum mais coeso da carreira dela. Desde a primeira música até a última o nível é mantido sem nenhum momento fraco ou mediano. Isso foi alcançado devido ao fato da equipe de produção está menor e mais coesa na sonoridade pretendida. O som de The Truth About Love é um pop/rock mais pesado e mais concentrado no lado mais adulto do estilo deixando as batidas mais "normais" de lado para investir em batidas mais fortes em todas as faixas. Só que em algumas músicas a produção deixa a desejar quando não entrega arranjos mais pomposos para combinar com as composições poderosas e extrair todo o potencial que elas possuem. Novamente, P!nk mostra porque no mercado pop ele é a melhor artista: como autora de todas as faixas ela consegue subir um degrau em se posiciona como uma das melhores da atualidade. Como disse antes, o amor é o foco principal do álbum e isso a P!nk já deu provas que sabe falar do assunto da sua maneira. Há um sentimento melancolico só que aqui encontra uma esperança que não tinha no último trabalho dela, mas com a sua vida pessoal acertada ela consegue expressar isso. Misturando o humor peculiar que ela possui e uma capacidade de criar hits radiofônicos com refrões grudentos, P!nk entrega mais um vez um trabalho vocal perfeito. Algumas canções têm um trabalho com auto-tune em cima da voz dela, mas que ela consegue se impor e não se transformar em um robô. Falando em canções em particular a melhor é sem dúvidas o primeiro single Blow Me (One Last Kiss). Outros ótimos momentos estão a safadinha Slut Like You, a que dá nome ao álbum The Truth About Love e a balada que só a ela consegue entregar Beam Me Up. Da versão deluxe tem Run, uma power balada com uma pegada Halo. As partipações de as Lily Rose Cooper (ex-Lily Allen) em True Love e do rapper Eminem em Here Comes the Weekend resultam em boas músicas, mas suas participações não geniais e quase dispensaveis. Já em Just Give Me a Reason temos Nate Ruess, vocalista do fun. o problema foi na produção. A canção tem uma letra divina, performances inspiradas dos dois e uma estrutura perfeita só que o resultado final não entrega o que prometia por uma escolha de não terminar a canção de maneira grandiosa e voltar o tom do começo da mesma. Uma pena, pois seria a melhor canção da carreira dela. Ainda não é o trabalho de uma carreira, mas enquanto isso vamos esperando da melhor maneira possível. Só não demorar muito, tá P!nk?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll be honest! I'm a huge P!nk fan since the I'm Not Dead record which is definitely her best album in my opinion but I made a mistake... The Truth About Love is also as good as I'm Not Dead but surpassed it! P!nk brings a new level to her music, her lyrics are powerful as always but this album has something that made me love it more! P!nk's vocals are stunning because of the reducing smoke! The highlight songs from this album are Are We All We Are, Try, Just Give Me A Reason, True Love, The Truth About Love, Walk of Shame, The Great Escape, Is This Thing On?, Run and Chaos & Piss... The whole album is a MASTERPIECE and of course is the Album of the Year... I'm sure that P!nk has many chances for Grammy Awards this year and really deserves to win! Her upcoming Tour will be obviously her best since Funhouse Tour, can't wait... Expand

    "[The Truth About Love] is honestly Pink's best effort since "I'm Not Dead". It shows a more demure, yet her signature outrageous side as well. With songs including "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)", 'How Come Your Not Hear?" and "Slut Like You", it shows the real Pink we've been waiting for. But songs like "Try" and "Just Give Me a Reason" shows the other side of Pink. You can tell the album is basically a split album of personality. Great album Pink" Expand

    This album is certainly worth listening! In my opinion there are almost no fillers! What amazed me the most was the fact that bonus tracks are not left-overs; their quality is equal to those from the standard edition. P!nk sounds stunning in every mood, her voice is very versatile and conveys emotions perfectly!

    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

    P!nk has made the most exciting record of the year so far. There are songs ready for jumping in the club as well ballads to belt out in the car with a tear in your eye. I love that she's always honest and you can feel what she feels. "Slut Like You", "Try", "True Love", and "Just Give Me a Reason" are standouts along with already big hit "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)". This will be on heavy rotation for sure. Expand

    'The Truth About Love' must be P!nk's best album to date.
    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.

    Another stellar release from a pop star that evades superstardom, even while she's changing the landscape of pop music. A highlight of The Truth About Love is hearing the notes Pink sneaks in on us, much higher than previously recording, slowly revealing just what exactly she's capable of little by little. Great, honest lyrics told how my generations speaks. This is another solid release from one of the best voices on the planet. Collapse

    Definitely the best pop release of the year. This album has everything. P!nk's most diverse album yet. Musically; it has pop, rock, punk, alternative, soul, country, dance, electro. Lyrically, it has party songs, break-up songs to songs about issues like Miscarriage, suicide and female empowerment. Stand-Out Tracks: Are We All We Are, How Come You're Not Here, The Truth About Love, Beam Me Up and Slut Like You. MUST HAVE. Expand

    This album totally worth waiting. P!nk is back with amazing new material. This album have amazing songs, that will make you dance, will cheer you up. The great example is the song 'The Great Escape'. I can relate to this song and I really feel, like P!nk can understand me. I think that this album is worth buying!

    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.
