P!ink has been a hit making machine and her latest album is around the corner with her second single just released. The albums first single "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" is a total miss for me. I find it derivative and despite the very familiar sound she's got on the production the song is weak from beginning to end and lacks a decent chorus. I can't find a reason to like the song and no matter how much pop radio is playing it hasn't changed the fact that this song is bland.
The second single "Try" is another boring torch song that I've heard a thousand times before which are mostly misses in my listening taste. P!nk has not blown me away at all with the official material so far and now the album is here for me to listen to which I will because she can't release seventeen awful songs. The first thing I noticed was the missing B-Side of "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" which is a shame because that song is a winner.
After the opening cut which isn't terrible the two singles and two awful dull ballads we come to "How Come You're Not Here" which is the first song on the album that I actually enjoyed. There is still something missing and I think it is in the production of the album. The song just lacks the bounce and pound that she barely forgets in her songs. The excellent titled "Slut Like You" finally reaches the expected level of effort from her. I like the song and the chorus is fun and bitchy and in your face which is exactly what makes P!nk great.
One of the worst songs I've ever heard from her features Eminem "Here Comes The Weekend" a song that just blows ass chunks. It's like she's trying to sound like Lady GaGa instead of being herself. Eminem's rap is so pedestrian that the in the closet faggot Kanye West could have come up with. It doesn't even sound like he knows what the fuck he's saying or where to go with the mumble bullshit he rambles. If I didn't know better I'd think this was a joke but according to some this is the best song on the album which if you think so then your ears are broken and you're an idiot.
By the time the albums best song finds it way to my speakers I'm pretty much done with this dud. "My Signature Move" is a very good song and to this point the only song worthy of her past glories. A bunch of bonus material is used as filler to over charge for the deluxe version. It is funny that P!nk is crouched like she's about to take a dump on the front cover because that is what this album is a great big turd. I recommend this as a buy only the songs you like and leave the rest of the garbage behind. The Truth About Love is the worst album she's released since her debut of second rate throwaways.
