Posted January 11, 20196 yr Sorry if there’s another topic on this if there is I’ll delete this and post there but I couldn’t find one well not post BT. Anyways now Beautiful Trauma is established where do people rank her studio albums? Mine are as follows. 7. Cant Take Me Home - Not a bad album. But definitely my least favourite. It’s the least Pink sounding and there’s quite a bit of filler. It’s kinda there as part of my collection tbh but I rarely go back as a whole. I do like the title track and Hell Wit Ya and Most Girls is a bop. Favourite Single: Most Girls Favourite Album Track: Can’t Take Me Home Least Favourite Track: You Make Me Sick Favourite Video: Most Girls 6. I’m Not Dead. OK so shock here! There’s some amazing highs on here but there’s also some lows for me too. I wasn’t a fan at all of Stupid Girls, and tracks like Cuz I Can and Fingers drag it down. Dear Mr President also wasn’t really for me either although I appreciate the message. I love Who Knew and Nobody Knows though and U and Ur Hand is still something I listen to regularly. The title track and Runway are also strong album tracks. I just feel like it’s a bit too long as an album as a 12 track album id rank it higher but the tracks I skip kinda drag it down as a whole so that’s why I rate it here. It’s a tad too long as an album in my opinion. If any other artist released this I’d probably say it was their best album though it just goes to show how good she really is! Favourite Single: Who Knew Favourite Album Track: Runaway Least Favourite Track: Stupid Girls Favourite Video: U and Ur Hand 5. Beautiful Trauma. So I like the album and there’s some tracks I really love. For me though the first three tracks are a bit meh but from track 4 it gets a lot better. What About Us is by far her best lead single for me and Secrets is a huge follow up that never was. I also love Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken and Barbies. It flows together well as an album though and the order of the tracks is spot on too I can see why each song is where it is. Favourite Single: What About Us Favourite Album Track: I Am Here Least Favourite Track: Revenge Favourite Video: What About Us 4. Try This. Now this is the album I was least familiar with until recently and this still has the potential to climb for me but at the minute the top three are a fair bit above at the present time. The singles are among the worst of her career but the album tracks are incredible. And it’s very underrated to think it followed her biggest album of her career and then her next album put her back up there with a huge growth in sales, it’s kinda like the original Rated R by Rihanna type situation. It was a risk but it’s a brilliant album what’s overlooked. I love her vocals on this too and I get the feeling it’s an album she herself wanted to do at that time too. The singles were so WTF though. She’s usually really good for single choices but the singles don’t show off how good this album was at all! Waiting for Love, Catch Me While I’m Sleeping, Humble Neighbohoods, Save my life and Love Song deserved better! Even Tonight’s the night would’ve been better as a fun carefree party song over God Is A DJ. Favourite Single: Trouble Favourite Album Track: Waiting For Love Least Favourite Track: Feel Good Time (it doesn’t fit the album theme) Favourite Video: Trouble 3. M!sundazstood - One of the albums of my childhood. Brilliant. It’s never aged and it’s so personal and very cleverly done. It’s never really aged and it’s full of personality and you could see she was going to be something when she released this album! One of the best albums of the 00’s decade. I can’t see her ever making another album like this as it’s very much a coming of age growing up album but I’m pretty much the same age now as she was when she released this so it’s still fairly relatable for me. Favourite Single: Just Like A Pill Favourite Album Track: Misery Least Favourite Track: Respect Favourite Video: Family Portrait 2. Funhouse. Loved this era. It’s the era i first saw her live after years of waiting. Her first ever UK #1 album too. Loved the image, the promo, styling and whole theme of this album. Perfect choices of singles although I do wish Glitter In The Air was pushed over in the UK but it’s when she sort of become seen as like an icon too and not just a star. She gained respect from this album. The Grammys performance still wows me to this day. Amazing music videos for this album too! An album what’s aged well too it’s over ten years old now and it still sounds kind of fresh to me. No duds either on this album. Just highs throughout. Favourite Single: So What Favourite Album Track: Crystal Ball Least Favourite Track: One Foot Wrong Favourite Video: Please Don’t Leave Me 1. The Truth About Love. - I just love love love this! I don’t think it’s many people’s favourites but I love every song as an individual song and it really just cemented my love for her even more. A layered album with many styles and genres. Classic pink pop rock bangers, classic heartfelt power ballads and incredible duets. Also with this being her first full length album since becoming a parent she showed a new side in my opinion and it came off in certain tracks. Again great visuals too in particular Try which I always have to watch with either the music video or the live performance of the routine. Favourite Single: Try Favourite Album Track: The Great Escape Least Favourite Track: The Truth About Love Favourite Video: Try Anyways that’s mine from worst to best (1 best, 7 worst). Excited to see others. Edited January 11, 20196 yr by Jordan Lee
January 11, 20196 yr I'll go from worst to favourite too, although I don't really have a Pink album that I don't like, just some that I listen to less often than others 7. Can't take me home The album that turned me into a fan :wub: At the time of its release I was listening to TLC a lot, so when I heard There you go I was instantly hooked. I also really wanted to dye my hair pink at the time, so when I saw Pink with her badass attitude I loved it :lol: Favourite single: Most girls Favourite music video: Most girls Favourite song: Split personality Least favourite song: Is it love 6. The Truth About Love I actually really love this album, and the era overall. The singles, photoshoots, tour, everything about this era was amazing. I just prefer to listen to the other albums over this one. I remember when BM(OLK) was released and I listened to it every day coming home from work :lol: I love the mixture of music styles on this album and it gave us the iconic music video for Try :wub: Favourite single: Try Favourite music video: Try Favourite song: How come you're not here Least favourite song: Good old days 5. Funhouse Ah the Funhouse era :heart: Again, spot on with the singles, videos and photoshoots. This era will always hold a special place in my heart, I saw her about ten times that tour, including when I met her in London. I don't think there are any songs which I skip in this album, they're all fantastic. Favourite single: So what Favourite music video: Sober & Please don't leave me Favourite song: Mean Least favourite song: This is how it goes down 4. I'm Not Dead Incredible album. This is the album that I would recommend people to listen to if they didn't know Pink. Some amazing tracks here and the tour was great too. It was the first tour where I did multiple shows and was at the front. Favourite single: U + ur hand Favourite music video: Nobody knows Favourite song: Runaway Least favourite song: I have seen the rain (only because of the talking before the song starts!) 3. Beautiful Trauma I'm always more of an old skool fan. Before she was huge, when she was releasing music back in the early 2000's and playing small tiny venues (none of which I went to, but still!). But this album for me is up there with Try This and M!ss. When she released TTAL I felt like she'd gone a bit...'soft'... (not her usual badass self) since becoming a parent so I wasn't really expecting a lot from BT. She really put her heart and soul in this album and it was definitely worth the wait. My only disappointment with this album is the promo. There is hardly any! I know she's so much more busy now with two young kids and also the wine business, but compare the promo (photoshoots, TV appearances, promo shows etc) with previous eras... it is next to nothing. Of course you could argue that she doesn't need to do that now and I understand why she's cut back on the promo, I just miss it. I miss seeing the new photos, seeing her in the magazines and on TV. Everything this era has been so much more different, from the promo to the tour. Favourite single: What about us Favourite music video: Beautiful trauma Favourite song: Barbies Least favourite song: But we lost it 2. Try This This is actually joint first wit M!ss. I loved this badass era. It was also the first tour I saw her live and was lucky enough for it to be filmed for the DVD. It is an incredible album which could have been better. She pushed this album out because the record company were on her back to release another and quick. "I was kind of rebelling against the label on that one," she said. "I was going: 'You want a record? Fine, I'll write 10 songs in a week for your f***in' record and you can press it up and put it out.'" She described the promotional campaign for the album as "an awful time. I was walking out of half my interviews crying. I just felt they were putting a quarter in the slot to watch the monkey dance." I loved the mix of music on this album too, as with all Pink albums there is always variety. From the more rockier tracks such as last to know & humble neighbourhoods to songs that really showed off her vocal skills like waiting for love. Favourite single: Trouble Favourite music video: Last to know Favourite song: Unwind Least favourite song: Feel good time 1. Missundaztood :wub: This album is everything to me. It helped me get through high school and I never tire of listening to it. Although I enjoyed CTMH, I was glad of the change in direction of her sound on this album, as my tastes were changing to and I was listening to more rock music than r&b. Favourite single: Don't let me get me Favourite music video: Just like a pill Favourite song: DLMGM and 18 wheeler Least favourite song: Get the party started
January 11, 20196 yr Changes slightly over time but right now.. 1 Funhouse A fantastic album all the way through, I never skip any of the songs on here and there's only 2 Pink albums I can say that to! The run of singles is perfect which is something considering there was 7 songs released and most campaigns would be drying out by then. I can't even pick a favourite track tbh: it's a tie between Sober and Please Don't Leave Me :wub: Fave single: Sober / PDLM Fave album track: Ave Mary A Fave video: PDLM Least fave song: Mean 2 I'm Not Dead Fave single: Who Knew Fave album track: Runaway :wub: Fave video: Stupid Girls Least fave song: I Got Money Now 3 The Truth About Love Fave single: Blow Me (One Last Kiss) Fave album track: How Come You're Not Here Fave video: Just Give Me a Reason Least fave song: Mean 4 Beautiful Trauma Fave single: Secrets Fave album track: Revenge Fave video: Beautiful Trauma Least fave song: I Am Here 5 Missundaztood Fave single: Don't Let Me Get Me / Just like a Pill Fave album track: Misery Fave video: Just like a Pill Least fave song: My Vietnam 6 Can't take me home Fave single: Most Girls Fave album track: Can't Take Me Home Fave video: There You Go Least fave song: Hiccup 7 Try This Fave single: God is a DJ Fave album track: Save My Life Fave video: God Is a DJ Least fave song: Feel Good Time
January 11, 20196 yr Author Like the idea of listing fave / least faves I’ll add mine to my first post. Good mix of replies so far three different albums as people’s favourites. :yahoo: Only common thing I expect to see is Can’t Take Me Home towards the bottom of mostly everyone’s.
January 12, 20196 yr This is so difficult because aside from my fave and least fave, they rotate! 7) Can’t Take Me Home I’ve never been that fussed on the debut. It was out 10 years before I even bought it and I never really liked the early 00s rnb style. It’s a good album for what it is but really not one I go back to often. I will eventually buy it on vinyl though. Fave single: Most Girls Fave album track: Split Personality Fave music video: Most Girls Least fave song: Hiccup 6) The Truth About Love This is a really good album and the one I’ve listened to the most recently, having just purchased the vinyl. It’s got some really good upbeat tracks and fantastic collaborations. It’s ranked low here because I don’t go back to it as often and I think at some point in 2013 it felt overplayed to me but quality wise it’s amazing. Fave single: Blow Me (One Last Kiss) Fave album track: How Come You’re Not Here Fave music video: True Love Least fave song: Where Did The Beat Go? 5) M!ssundaztood This also feels too low! This is the era where I really began to notice Pink. I didn’t buy this until a few years later but the singles really define the time for me (especially Don’t Let Me Get Me and Just Like A Pill). I think this would probably rank higher if I’d bought it in 2002 and listened to it loads at the time. Fave single: Don’t Let Me Get Me Fave album track: Misery Fave music video: Don’t Let Me Get Me Least fave song: Goin To California 4) Try This This was my first Pink album! I loved her rocky edge at the time! I bought this on the same day as Life For Rent by Dido and I always saw that as my chill out album and this as my rocking out album. I think she could have released possibly something other than Last To Know as a single but I adore pretty much all the songs on this. Fave single: Trouble Fave album track: Walk Away Fave music video: Trouble Least fave song: Oh My God 3) Funhouse Pink at what seemed a commercial peak. I was dying for this album and it didn’t disappoint! Similar to I’m Not Dead, this got a lot of plays during my uni years. It was at this time I felt she was getting the recognition she deserved. Fave single: So What Fave album track: Mean Fave music video: Please Don’t Leave Me Least fave song: One Foot Wrong 2) Beautiful Trauma I can’t believe something this new is this high! I was clearly desperate for new Pink at the time and this I felt complemented the previous album really well. That was quite upbeat and this was slower and somewhat more mature. It felt like something 29 year old me was ready for. I wish she’d promoted it more though because it didn’t stick around that long. Fave single: Beautiful Trauma Fave album track: Barbies Fave music video: Beautiful Trauma Least fave song: You Get My Love 1) I’m Not Dead I say it often enough but this is my fave album of all time by any artist let alone Pink. It’s packed with brilliant pop rock songs and has that personal edge she’s known for. It was my life when I was 17. Soundtrack to sixth form for me. Best single: Who Knew/Leave Me Alone (I’m Lonely) (cannot decide!) Best album track: Cuz I Can Best music video: Stupid Girls Least fave song: The One That Got Away
January 17, 20196 yr 1. Funhouse 2. I'm Not Dead 3. M!ssundaztood 4. Beautiful Trauma 5. Try This 6. The Truth About Love 7. Can't Take Me Home
April 24, 20196 yr Bumping this since having a M!ssundaztood session as I think I would place it second now, it’s so amazing. They do rotate for me aside from I’m Not Dead which is always top and Can’t Take Me Home which is always last. It would be interesting to see a few more posters submit a ranking tbh. I keep wonder where Hurts 2B Human will end up in my ranking. My gut says near the bottom but I’d be happy to be surprised.
April 24, 20196 yr Author I think by around June time I may do a re rank and include the new album in there giving it like two month to fully grow. Edited April 24, 20196 yr by Jordan Lee
May 1, 20196 yr Now that I've given H2BH a good listen I think I can add it to my list :cheer: It is definitely beautiful trauma part two but at the moment I'd say I prefer it to BT, maybe because its so new, I'm not sure. But even can we pretend is growing on me :lol: My updated list, from least favourite to favourite :wub: 8. Cant take me home 7. The truth about love 6. Funhouse 5. I'm not dead 4. Beautiful trauma 3. Hurts 2B human 2. Try this 1. Missundaztood
May 3, 20196 yr 1. I'm not dead Holds a special place in my heart as an album that got me through a lot of tough times, also I like nearly every track. 2. Funhouse A really solid album featuring my second favourite Pink song, Please Don't Leave Me. 3. Beautiful trauma Solid album. 4. Missundaztood Positive memories and features several faves, but less even than her later eork, and her sound has moved on. 5. Hurts 2b human Nothing super standout yet but a very even body of work. 6. The truth about love Despite featuring my favourite Pink song Try, I was really disappointed with both the sound and lyrical content of this. If not for Try it would be even lower. 7. Try This Trouble has become a grower in recent years but I didn't like much on here and it wasn't a great career move. 8. Can't take me home This quite simply is not the artist I know and love! Edited May 3, 20196 yr by JüperTrouper
May 5, 20196 yr My list is a little revised with M!ssundaztood gaining and Beautiful Trauma falling quite a bit. 1 I’m Not Dead 2 M!ssundaztood 3 Funhouse 4 Hurts 2B Human 5 Beautiful Trauma 6 Try This 7 The Truth About Love 8 Can’t Take Me Home
June 16, 20196 yr Author My new Ranking!! 1. The Truth About Love 2. Funhouse 3. Missundaztood 4. Hurts 2B Human 5. I’m Not Dead 6. Beautiful Trauma 7. Try This 8. Can’t Take Me Home Top 3 remain the same. Hurts 2B Human enters at 4. 5-7 swap around. I’m not Dead overtakes Beautiful Trauma and Try This now after listening to albums in full again. 4-7 on the list are all really close though but the top 3 are way ahead in my opinion. Can’t Take Me Home remains bottom easily as well. Not bad but definitely her weakest album. Edit: based on this past week I’ve moved 6-7 round. Beautiful Traumas overtook. Her albums are all amazing tbh though such a strong discography aside from her debut. Edited June 24, 20196 yr by Jordan Lee
June 16, 20196 yr Try This! is the best one. I'm Not Dead is second. I don't care for her other albums.
