The Truth About Love (2CD Exclusive Soft Pack Slipcase)

I was a bit worried about how P!nk's usual angry songs, that I love with all my heart, would penetrate through the happiness and true love she's feeling at the moment. But the general annoyance with society crashes through with a bang!

All We Are We Are is amazing, with guitars and totalitarian lyrics even someone of Dave Grohl's stature might be proud of.

Blow Me (One Last Kiss) is the first single from the album and so so catchy, with P!nk preaching how she's 'had a shit day' with her partner.

Try, her next single, is quite disappointingly normal to begin with, but with more and more listens becomes increasingly addictive and you cannot help but sing along despite the lyrics 'and where there is fire someone's bound to get burned'.

Just Give Me A Reason is again a brilliantly catchy song with Nate Ruess from Fun. Both of the American's voices intertwine beautifully, with P!nk's somewhat masculine, wraspy vocals mixing with Nate's ultra-American tweets of lyrics.

True Love is one of my favourites on the album, with an appearance from Lily Rose Cooper (once Lily Allen). It is a sweet, yet honest, love ballad that really brings P!nk's happiness to the forefront, with the beautiful lyric ' you're an asshole but I love you'.

How Come You're Not Here is also another good one that gets you singing along in no time, not one of the stand out tracks though, in my opinion.

Slut Like You really seeps the usual P!nk anger and delightful arrogance, it mimics the themes and mindblowing guitar of So What, with a catchy chorus that is pure brilliance.

The Truth About Love is a grower, again routing from P!nk's bitterness about love saying 'the truth about love is it's all a lie'.

Beam Me Up is an acoustic effort, which at first doesn't make any impact on the ears at all. However, as more listens are given to the track it really does grow and the lyrics make an impact on you as you truly listen to them.

Walk Of Shame is amazing and will stay in your head until you listen to it again.

Here Comes The Weekend is another grower. It seems to re-route P!nk's hip-hop/r'n'b routes from her first album, but with a rocky twist. Eminem's inclusion is genius as (like on his track Won't Back Down) P!nk's rough vocals mixed with his brutal rapping style comes out as a magnificent track after afew listens.

Where Did The Beat Go is another good song. Again, not a stand out track until you give it's worth and listen to it a few times, but it really does grow on you.

The Great Escape is a disappointing song. Being used to wonderful acoustic efforts like Dear Mr. President, Crystal Ball, Glitter In The Air, Waiting For Love and I Don't Believe You this piano laden track really doesn't even get close to any of them, sounding more like it should come from the mouth of Mariah Carey or Selena Gomez.

Overall though, this album really is addictive and brilliant. If you bought the 2CD version you're in for a treat with the second CD, especially with Good Old Days. Well done baby P!nk, I love you!

Another great album from P!nk.

A nice mix of tempos and a wide variety of tunes. P!nk's lyrical ability continues to develop, making this easily one of her best albums. My favourite tracks are Just Give Me a Reason (featuring the fantastic Nate Reuss from fun.) and Walk of Shame.

So Pink's back,but she doesn't just walk back into the wolrd of music,she comes charging back in!
This is clearly a new direction for Pink and i admit i really wasn't sure upon first listen,but now i love it.
She starts off the new album with ARE WE ALL WE ARE,it does indeed make it clear she's back.
Next we have new single BLOW ME (ONE LAST KISS),a great song,very Pink,but a little different.
TRY will soon get you singing along without really trying,JUST GIVE ME A REASON moves things along nicely.
TRUE LOVE had me worried with LILY ALLEN being featured,but in all fairness it's a great song and i had no problems with LILY''s vocals (thankfully short) for a change.
HOW COME YOU'RE NOT HERE asks questions,another great track.
SLUT LIKE YOU i suspect could be one of those tracks that a lot of people just find annoying,Pink's viscious tongue turns into a whooping chorus that kind of sounds very girly and irritating at first,but it's grown on me to the stage i'm shamelessly singing along,whooping and all.
THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE is another winner,Pink,but again a new Pink,a fresh Pink,really catchy and surely a big hit in the future.
BEAM ME UP is pink proving she can indeed sing beautifully,it's one of those soft ones and nicely done.
WALK OF SHAME will no doubt get better with every listen,still getting to know this one,but i kind of like it.
HERE COMES THE WEEKEND featuring EMINEM,yep,you heard right EMINEM,it's a great track that really works,shows the new direction and isn't ashmaed of it.
Finally we have WHERE DID THE BEAT GO,which soon becomes a musical friend for your head and THE GREAT ESCAPE,well you know what? i think she might've got away with this,great closer.
It's an album that upon first listen had me wondering what she's done,then i realized,she's come back with a fresh sound,even her vocals sound different.
But with a sound that soon becomes something special,i've no complaints,welcome back Pink.

Just to state,i did get the deluxe edition,and as much as i like the new tracks,there'only 4 and they would easily have fitted onto the 50 minute album,very naughty,but i suppose a great EP for a few quid is a way of looking at the dodgy sales ploy.
I'm not impressed with this recent deluxe edition thing,when it's only a few tracks in most cases,but i doubt the artists themselves have anything to do with it. I do like this 4 track disc though and would say it's worth it if you can forgive the naughty sales tactic. Get a great album,get THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE.

P!nk has been releasing songs on youtube for the past couple of days... as a true fan she is truely back.. these song are so different from each other on this ablum.. it is a mixed bag of emotions that will bring any true P!nk fan to know and understand where she is coming from with all her new songs
