October 13, 20177 yr Funhouse is the only P!nk album I've heard before but thought I'd give this a go and I think it's pretty good. Definitely suffering from a bit of a too much filler problem towards the end but it's certainly cohesive and has some lovely standouts too. I think my favourites so far are "Revenge" (it is a bit odd sonically but it's so much fun so I can see myself being pretty obsessed with this soon) and "Secrets". Will definitely be going back to this, I was a bit worried after how quickly I went off "What About Us" but I'm pleasantly surprised :D
October 13, 20177 yr I think this is one of her most personal albums, on the same level as Missundaztood and I'm not dead :heart: I really see what you mean! I see it as a more mature I’m Not Dead :D
October 13, 20177 yr I find the album a bit samey in places, if we're going to compare to TTAL I definitely prefer that, but the songs that are good are great! What About Us, the title track, I Am Here, Secrets and Where We Go are my highlights.
October 13, 20177 yr Not sure where it ranks yet but I do like it. I’ve had a pretty heavy day so I’ll see how I feel after a few more listens tomorrow.
October 14, 20177 yr The intro to Whatever You Want reminded me a bit of Just Like Fire! Beautiful Trauma and Revenge are pleasant (I am starting to see the True Love comparisons). Yet to listen to the rest but What About Us remains fabulous!
October 14, 20177 yr I'm so glad this is so good. This might be her best since I'm Not Dead for me, it's definitely warring with Funhouse even though I don't know all the tracks yet. There was nothing I skipped or disliked on first run-through though which there definitely was on her last two. I'm a huge Pink fan but I never managed to get into The Truth About Love despite trying hard for several years. It's just a side of Pink's character that's not what I go to her music for on most of the tracks. BT I don't have that problem with at all, everything on it is the artist I know and like a lot.
October 14, 20177 yr This could be my favourite from her since I'm Not Dead. Been listening all day and I'm quite enjoying it,loving the mature feel of the album in general. Can't stop listening to Revenge though. It's weird for a single as it screams 2002 album track at me.
October 16, 20177 yr I feel like 'For Now' is already the most under appreciated song on the album. 'Revenge' is also great! It's so dated, but it actually feels quite fresh at the same time. It's such a bizarre feeling haha.
October 16, 20177 yr I think this album is amazing - its not your typical, in your face 'fk the world' pink album and i'm so grateful for this -!beautiful trauma, barbies , wild hearts, i am here, better life and for now are all 10/10's for me (the latter is sublime esp the 'can we stop/rewind etc yas) definitely her strongest since i'm not dead.

October 16, 20177 yr Love the album, first one I've bought in 2017. Took me a few listens to grow on me. "What About Us"/"Beautiful Trauma"/"Whatever You Want"/"Where We Go"/"Secrets"/"For Now" are my favourite tracks. Really like "I Am Here" as well. The rest of the album is nice, she sounds really beautiful on "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken". Least favourite track is "Revenge" - was really disappointing but has been growing on me a little.

October 17, 20177 yr Author I couldn't leave here without coming here to say how much I am loving this album. TTAL was very uptempo and the ballads suffered for me. So having this one so raw and slow and personal makes me love it even more. Her voice is so beautiful on the songs and it's been on repeat since I bought it and really helped me in my life recently. Revenge might become one of my all time faves. It being the only really fun and uptempo one makes it stand out I guess and its not as serious as the others so it could be seen as bad I guess but i love it. Eminem especially slays on it, I love hearing him a bit calmer and hearing him sing. Him yelling LUUUUUUUT is iconic and having them rap/sing together makes this feel more like a collaboation compared to their other offerings. I AM Here and Secrets are also personal highlights, as is Wild Hearts Cant Be Broken. But tbh i love them all. All in all, Revenge i slay. uck yeah! f*** no!

Totally agree with you about Revenge, I find myself laughing when listening to that track, its so much fun... then a few tracks later I'm crying my eyes out at Barbies again :lol: :cry: :heart:
October 20, 20177 yr I've finally decided that I do like Revenge :lol: It is indeed very 2002 album track though so I really can't see it being a hit as a single...
October 21, 20177 yr almost through my first listen of this and despite most of them being slow, it's an impressively consistent album for me, really enjoying 'But We Lost It' to 'For Now' especially, thought 'Barbies' would be like 'Revenge' or something but found it really lovely same with all of those 4, 'Beautiful Trauma' is gorgeous too, I'm a sucker for orchestral input in songs and it compliments Pink's voice so well too. Now on 'Better Life' and that's also sounding promising too~
October 22, 20177 yr As expected, P!nk claims her second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with Beautiful Trauma, which starts atop the list with 2017's largest week for an album by a woman and the fourth-biggest week among all acts. It launches with a larger-than-expected 408,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Oct. 19, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 384,000 were in traditional album sales -- the best sales week of the year among all acts. The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Nov. 4-dated chart (where Beautiful Trauma debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard's websites on Tuesday (Oct. 24). Beautiful Trauma is the pop singer-songwriter's second No. 1 album, following 2012's The Truth About Love (her last solo studio effort), which started atop the list with 280,000 copies sold (before the chart transitioned to a consumption-ranked list in late 2014). In total, Beautiful is P!nk's seventh top 10 effort.Get it P!nk!
