It's Finally Here

She's back and times are a lot different then what people were used to that's for sure. Did she make the right move by laying her heart out on a plate for consumers to ravage and criticize? I think so.

P!nk's new set of tracks (12 in total) feature a side to P!nk she only hinted at on her previous album, I'm Not Dead. Here, there are no songs about jerking off or stupid girls. Instead, she dedicates the album to matters of the heart.

She sings...

♪This used to be a funhouse, but now it's full of evil clowns. It's time to start the countdown. I'm gonna burn it down down down.♪

I guess we can say the funhouse is her heart. When you're in love, it's all about happiness and feeling giddy 24/7, like a child at a funhouse. When you break, you're left alone to wallow up in memories. You feel like everything you see reminds you of that one person that let you go. And so, to burn it up would make you feel so fucking better.

Who can't relate to that?

After her very painful divorce, P!nk expresses her sorrow in each song. She was actually going to name the album "Heartbreak is a Mother******".

It's a different pace for P!nk and there have been a good chunk of favorable reviews (minus the one star review by the Chicago Sun-Times - those bastards). People expect her to go all out and get wild. They want songs that rip the hoe-y tarts of Hollywood. Don't get me wrong, that can be fun. But that gets old.

You all know how I feel about her. I've been a P!nk fan since her very first single. I've got all her albums and with each one, she's grown and has become quite an impressive writer.

If only she were taken seriously.

I suggest you buy the album. Check it out. If you want to test some of the tracks first, get Please Don't Leave Me, I Don't Believe You, and Funhouse.
