Okay, I admit it...I'm thirty-something, and I REALLY like Pink's music. I mean, let's face it, her voice is wonderful! I loved most of the songs on "Can't Take Me Home", and I even love more of the songs on "Missundaztood". My favorites on this cd are "Don't Let Me Get Me", "Just Like A Pill", "18 Wheeler", "Misery", "Dear Diary", "Lonely Girl", "Numb", and "My Vietnam"...ohhh forgedda 'bout it, ALL the songs on this cd are good! Of course, I was awakened by the poignant lyrics in the song "Family Portrait" which I have to say, I admire Pink for singing and putting on this cd. It's sad, brutally honest, and every parent in this world should listen to these lyrics as if they were sung by their own child. But thankfully, that's the only song on here that makes me want to cry inside. The rest are bluesy, jazzy, rock/pop sensations that just make you want to listen to them over, and over, and over, and over. Get the point?! Go ahead, buy this cd, you will not be sorry you added it to your collecion. And to Pink, if you ever read this - Keep up the good work girl! (and take care of that voice of yours, it's Golden!)
I've liked Pink since I first saw her in that terrific video with the motorcycle, and I think she's quite a talent.
Her performances always capture my attention, she has a growing gift for songwriting, a unique singing style, and I just love that little wobble in her voice.
This CD has its ups and downs...I can live without the first 3 tracks, but it also has some exceptional ones.
The gems on this CD to my ears are "Family Portrait" (writen by Pink and Scott Storch), which is a really moving piece that I don't think could be sung better by anybody, I like "Eventually" (written by Pink and Linda Perry) more with each hearing (nice lyrics), and "Gone to California" (Pink and Perry again) is great. Her phrasing on this song is superb, and there's the added bonus of a jazzy A-1 sax solo by Jimmy Z, and David Siegel on organ adds a lot to it too.
These three songs are some of the slower ones on this CD, and show a lot of artistry. Out of the current crop of young singers, I wouldn't be surprised if Pink is the one we'll be listening to 10 years from now.
Pink can finally be undaztood after getting rid of all those unnecessary beats that she had of her debut album by making her sophomore album just a step forward to rock. When I heard pink was changing her genre to rock, I thought that she was going to do the Mandy Moore thing were she just put instruments behind pop songs, but Pink kept her word. This is Pinks best move yet and its going to make her career prosper even more. Pink wrote 11 out of the 14 songs on this album in which she put her every emotion into them unlike those R&B tracks that she did which weren't bad, its just that you didn't learn or grow by listening to them.
Track Listing:
1.) Missundaztood - This is a hot track that pink laid down for us with a great chorus and you can tell that she was having great fun when she recorded this track. This track is just one of those feel better about yourself track, and it sure brightens up my mood.
2.) Don't Let Me Get Me - This track is very meaningful and I can definitely relate in understanding that some days you just don't like yourself and other days you do. Pink actually gives a shout out to our friend Britney Spears in this song.
3.) Just Like A Pill - This is by far one of the most promising tracks on this album, this track is off the hook, you can feel Pinks inner emotions in this song. This song has a great chorus and when she states "And I swear you're just like a pill, instead of making me better you keep making be ill" I think she expresses the metaphor very well.
4.) Get The Party Started - Pink was smart to choose this track as her first single because it definitely shows her new rock side and still has a pinch of her old R&B side.
5.) Respect feat. Scratch - In this track pink claims its rap but I am still feeling the strong rock vibe from it.
6.) 18 Wheeler - This song is very interesting, its a song that you wouldn't expect a women to sing, but more power to you, Pink.
7.) Family Portrait - This is a very sad and tragic song but its also very true and pink just lays down all the facts that people find disturbing to listen to. Pink is basically saying that not all families are happy.
8.) Misery Feat. Steven Tyler of Aerosmith - This song is really as good as its anticipation claimed it to be, they both work the heck out of this song with there misery sounding like vocals in front of a jazz/blues beat.
9.) Dear Diary - I know that Britney Spears' "Dear Diary" put a bad name on any song of the same title but Pink's Dear Diary is really sweet and meaningful, and all she really wants to do is tell it her secrets.
10.) Eventually - This song is another sad jazz./blues song, it good to hear an artist share her pain because sometimes the fans are going through the same thing.
11.) Lonely Girl feat. Linda Perry - The beat and the way Pink's vocals flow in this song are very sweet and beautiful and you can feel what she was feeling. Linda Perry who helped co-write a few of the songs on this album is actually featured singing the chorus.
12.) Numb - This is a hard core rock song and you can hear all the aggression Pink is expressing in this song.
13.) Gone To California - Any song about California is good, California is a nice place, this song features many jazz/blues beats in it. This track is off the hook.
14.) My Vietnam - This is a very meaningful song, its up to you on how you interpret it but Pink sounds very serious about this song.
I am so proud of Pink's work and she has me really looking forward to her next album. This album is a masterpiece of great expression, and I just wanted to share with the world how great this music makes a person feel and what your missing out on if you don't have it.
Well, we've all heard "Don't let me Get me", "Get the Party Started", and "Just like a Pill" on the radio, and they are great songs! After hearing "Just like a Pill" (How did SHE know my ex-boyfriend??) I had to go buy this CD. And I'm stingy, I don't spend money on just anything! What I discovered when I listened this CD is that Pink is much more versatile than I gave her credit for. She's a very talent singer, and she shows her diversity with songs that'll make you cry (Family Portrait, and Lonely Girl), songs that'll make you stand up and cheer (Respect, 18 wheeler, and Eventually), songs that'll make you wonder how she ever got into your mind like that (My Vietnam, and Dear Diary) and songs that you just can't help but sing (Misery, Don't let Me get Me, and Just like a Pill). She shines on "Misery", and her vocals are just incredible, but my favorite is "My Vietnam" because I feel her pain...and I know exactly what she means. Buy this CD, and develop a deeper respect for Pink, you'll not regret it!
Here's a song by song review:
1) Missundaztood - an upbeat pop tune with a Nelly Furtado feel. Catchy and energetic. A+
2) Don't let me get me - the most rock influenced song on the album, it kinda brings back mid 90's pop punk rock. The guitars are strong.
3) Just like a Pill - Another catchy pop hit with rock influence. This can easy be the next single, its upbeat and infectious
4) Get the party started - Disco pop. Has a weird 70's vibe and also has some urban groove to it. If Madonna worked with a hip hop producer, it would sound like this
5) Respect - She raps in this!!! She even says in the beginng of the song, "This my rap song, uh!" LOL she sounds good on here, her voice is strong. Upbeat and catchy with a beatbox in the background.
6) 18 wheeler - Extremely catchy song, if it werent for the guitars and percussion I would call this a dance song. It has a nice strong messege too
7) Family portrait - I like the melody and the beat. The lyrics are out of this world, kinda shocking
8) Misery with Steven Tyler - awesome freaking awesome!!! I seriously love this song. Steve and Pinks voices blend like a fine soup. It sounds great and could belong in your father's classic 60's rock collection
9) Dear diary - Indie rock mixed with pop. Like the whispery chorus. Nice song
10) Eventually - A soul R&B ballad. Pink sings very loud and clear, with a lot of power. When my mom heard this, she said "God, she has a beautiful voice"
11) Lonely girl - It's good. Linda perry appears on it. Very rock sounding, great guitar opening
12) Numb - Love it, so much feminine attitude. Yeah it does kinda sound Fiona Apple or Alanis like. But Pink puts her own spin on it. Love the lyric "No sleep, no sex, for you from your ex-girlfriend, you made me numb"
13) Gone to California - Love it!!!! Nice soul ballad. Could use a little kickstart like a melody or drums, but it's great
14) My vietnam - If you like pop rock then you'll die for this. Awesome lyrics
