Posted October 14, 20187 yr Ok I’m out by a day but can anyone else believe that it’s been a year since this album came out? I was so excited to get my copy and had had such a long week at work. My brother unexpectedly turned up at my house because he had no internet access at his and the neighbours were having a really loud party so I was still pretty stressed at home. I felt so much better hearing this. I loved this more mature Pink and still have a real soft spot for the wonderfully dated Revenge and hearing Eminem sing! I’m a little sad that the album hasn’t had the legs in the Chart that she normally has but it has sold respectfully in the current climate.
October 15, 20187 yr Wow a whole year! *.* Still loving a lot of the songs of here even if I haven't really gone back to it much recently :/ Other than Secrets which still gets regular plays from me, definitely an album highlight for me :wub: I'm kind of glad Revenge didn't get a single push in the end as like you said it does sound very dated and I doubt it would've had the chart success you would imagine these two would get together (similar to Taylor/Ed/Future's End Game). I still remember the radio playing the entire album all the way through on release day over here! The album (deservedly) spent 11 weeks in the Top 2 and What About Us was #1 for two weeks. A great era for her I think even if none of the follow-up singles had half as much success, which I think is only due to them all being post-album singles
October 15, 20187 yr I can't believe its been a year already :o Its definitely one of her best albums and for me its up there with Missundaztood and Try This. I went out on release day, even though I was off sick from work after having an op, and went to HMV for the cd and vinyl :wub:
October 26, 20187 yr It's a really good album, I really enjoy it but I don't find myself going back to it *that* often. It's a much better overall piece than The Truth About Love anyway.
October 27, 20187 yr Listened to this im full today For the first time since around January. Really good album. Liked it more than I initially thought some tracks which I wasn’t too keen on I now like (Better Life, You Get My Love). Her second UK #1 album too and her first number one album since 2008 was such a moment to see her get it i was imaging she’d get yet another #2 or #3 for weeks before hand. Barbies, Secrets, I Am Here and Wild Hearts are all 10/10 and What About Us is an absolute gem of a song and her best lead single since Get The Party Started for me. TTAL is still my fave album of hers though which seems to be a lot of peoples least favourites across forums.
October 27, 20187 yr Re entered the album chart this week too at #55 probably due to the UK tour being announced.
October 27, 20187 yr Author Yeah, I saw that it re entered. The Greatest Hits also returned lower down the chart.
October 27, 20187 yr It's a really good album, I really enjoy it but I don't find myself going back to it *that* often. It's a much better overall piece than The Truth About Love anyway. Agreed with all this! I listened to this the other day after not listening to it since probably the beginning of the year. No particular reason why that's the case, as it is a great album. As great as the highs on The Truth About Love are, I agree that this album works better as a whole. It's more progressive in its sound and themes. What About Us is a great example of touching on what styles are popular at the moment yet still feeling distinctly P!nk. Whatever You Want, Secrets, I Am Here and (I know I'm probably alone here) You Get My Love are among my faves.
