I like Turbulence, When i get there and Kids in love. Overall, far from her best work. Too many forgettable songs. And let's be honest. She will never make another album as good as IND, no matter what she says! Yeah it’s kinda sad for me. The last album I truly loved was TTAL. I feel like things sort of changed for me once she had kids. |

I would really like to better understand P!nk's and fans' definition of 'a good album'.
Is a good album one where there are enough good songs, or one that is the most cohesive (whether it be thematically or sonically or tempo)?
I love IND the album but, as one member here articulated so well once, it's more a stack of magazines than a book. Some people would argue that doesn't make a great album? It's interesting.
I also think albums take a while to sink in and we discover different songs at different times, so it's almost too soon to rank it?
One thing I know for certain is that we are not getting a Ray Of Light from Alecia any time soon, and that's okay.
Oh, and she's made 10 albums including Rose Ave, thank you very much, journalists!

I think a good album has lots of good songs on them, not necessarily cohesive but just good music on. It. I’ve yet to find a perfect P!nk album where there are no skips. But I’d definitely say some are have more than others.

But I’d definitely say some are have more than others. Same. Although what defines a skip? There are many albums (Funhouse, TTAL, BT, H2BH, and Trustfall) where I like every single song, I just can't listen to them in any situation. Some songs I have to be in a certain mood to enjoy. Others just make me feel too much for me to want to listen to most of the time, but I still think they're good songs. The only albums where I don't have every song on my playlist is CTMH (one song not added although I only really like half the album), M!sundaztood (Catch 22 and Dear Diary are left out), Try This (feel good time is left out; Hooker is a skip and oh my god is usually a skip), and IND (I have seen the rain isn't on my playlist only because Ive never really given it a chance--Will do so soon). For me, I can't even choose a "best" album. I think that IND, TTAL, and H2BH are the best contenders for the "best" spot but truly it just depends what you're looking for and what you value. For me, they're all great and I really can't choose a favorite. Least favorite is CTMH, but I'm starting to like the album a lot more. |

Oh, and she's made 10 albums including Rose Ave, thank you very much, journalists! that is such a great question and tbh it’s almost philosophical. Like i think my fav albums will forever be M!ss and IND but apart from them being full of good songs and good material from her overall, it has a LOT to do with emotional attachment, things going on in my life when i listened to those albums and allllll the layers of memories since then. It’s very difficult to say. And what is a good song anyway? I will forever adore Chaos & Piss but would never make my non-Pink fan friends listen to it and expect them to be in awe. To most people her singles are “good songs” but we have the privilege to go deeper and see so much more. Yeah i could go on and on  |

I didn’t say it was a bad album. I was just trying to explain how, for me, CTMH through TTAL were seemingly different than anything post-TTAL. When I have more time, I’ll listen to TF again. |

I can only say...
When you have nothing,you might be full of inspirations to do everything.
When you have everything,you will not have inspirations to do anything.
Such as when you're full now,your stomach will not have any room for other delicious food.
I like this album,but not my favorite.
This album is lack of a strong ballad or a rock ballad to be remembered once you listen to it.
Some tracks,uh,like meh...are finished in a rush.
You could listen to the whole album track by track,but you cannot pick up one or more to repeatedly listening to.

And again, maybe it’s just me, but her talking points about “I had time to be picky and edit.” Really? I mean,…. Im glad she’s happy and yay! a new record. I just find it a 5/10. It’s definitely better than H2BH. A few points away from being as good as BT. These are just my opinions. |

I like it way more as a whole than H2BH. I really despised half of that one.
I like all the collabs.

It's completely different for me when it comes to P!nk and other artists. Mostly I enjoy cohesive albums which tell a story sonically and lyrically. Then with her I love that her albums were a stack of magazines. That's what keep them fresh because I enjoy 3 songs for a year, then I enjoy another 2. You can pick a vibe, an emotion or a thought. I'm Not Dead is so great with that, and BT is a close second with the biggest musical variety. Better Life/I Am Here/Wild Hearts are such a massive 1-2-3 punch with very different styles and I love that about her. Yet my third favorite is rose ave and it's actually a conceptual record with a distinctive sound. It's all really subjective. |

I was honestly afraid to listen to the album yesterday, because H2BH was so bad, I really dislike it. Its only only album I never revisit, not even one song. I feel like, for me, liking a song also depends on where I am in my life currently, emotionally mostly. I am at a happyish place relationship wise so big love ballads doesnt do much for me. Try This is in a special place in my heart even though it was her worst reviewed album. I love it. Because that was when I was a preteen and discovered her music for the first time. I listened to the album twice, and I don't know why she said its her best work, because its not. Excuse me but Im Not Dead? The Truth About Love? Like come on.  Her voice is clear, but I, personally miss the raspiness of it (I know it went away when she quit smoking which is a great thing, dont get me wrong.) The lyrics have been weaker lately...the past 3 albums. I wonder if anyone else feel this way. Songs that I like: When I get There Long way to go - Stand out at the first listening, one of my favs. Hate me - My favourite, old school Pink sound. Lost Cause, and Turbulence are ok, I think they will grow on me. The other songs I find kinda forgettable and boring. I'd prefer more upbeat songs, or rockish, angry ones. I did not have a lot of "fun" while listening to it, if that makes sense. Ballads are not for me personally. |

If you look at the booklet, the final song is missing an extra 40% of lyrics - they actually released the wrong version's lyrics. So it seems it was a longer, probably bigger song but got cut down which is a shame because I could tell at first listen. I so expected it to go somewhere and it did not. Can you post a pic? There you go guys  |

There you go guys Wow I never really noticed! But this is what she meant by editing it down to what she wanted I guess. As you say it’s a shame as the bridge does kind of stick out like a sore thumb and perhaps in the original version it flows better. I like the song more each listen but the bridge ruins it for me as it sounds out of place. This may explain it. |
