    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!

    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!!!!

    '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.

    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.

    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

    Thanks to quit smoking, P!nk's vocal is now better than ever. With her unbeatable lyrics. The Truth About Love proved P!nk is still one of the best singer-songwriter in the business.

    Every song in this album can be a huge hit! P!nk still shines through no matter how many years has passed, and is even better! Great pop rock song such as "We are all we are", "Blow me one last kiss", and sad love ballads such as "Run", "The Great Escape".

    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 algoA 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?    … Expand

    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 !
