So as was discussed earlier this month, The Truth About Love is about to turn TEN years old which feels impossible! So I’m hosting a rate to celebrate and share fond memories of one of Pink’s most successful eras.

It's been a while since I played this album in full, so will need to again to remind myself of a few.

 

It's a slog to get through, some serious filler/dross on this album (particularly in the second half)

It’s so demoralising to try and run something like this, worried you won’t get many takers, to then see something like that posted.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve listened to this, I’ll try and listen to this next week and get my scores in.

I’m gonna need to give the album a spin to give a rate. Feel free to PM me if I haven’t given one in the next few days

I still cant believe that its 10 years since this album was released! To me, it still feels like 'new' Pink. Also makes me realise how long I've been doing PinkHistory, 12 years this year!!

 

I often rate this album as being one of my least favourite Pink albums, but its just that I prefer some of the others, turns out I'm having difficulty only placing four 10s :lol:

This was a great era, and for me, perhaps the last era that I feel was full on Pink with lots of promotion, photoshoots etc. Never really got that feeling with BT.

TTAL tour was amazing too. I saw 3 shows, one with my sister who has never really been a fan of Pink (for the simple reason of typical sibling rivalry), but half way through the gig she told me she was really enjoying it, and then years later she went all the way to Glasgow with me to see Pink on the BT tour :heart:

Another highlight of this era was the iTunes promo gig in September 2012. I tried so hard to win tickets, asked everyone I could to enter to increase my chances but never got them. So in the end I had live streamed it, headphones in, and felt like I was there :lol:

Ive always loved this album! Always wish I went to the tour of this era and I go back to this as an album quite a lot. I often say this is my favourite album of hers, not a popular opinion on here :wub: :lol:

I can’t believe it’s been almost 10 years. I always rank this album pretty low for Pink but there are some absolute highs. I gave my thoughts on Blow Me and what that song did for me (and still does) in its single thread but that run of singles is perfection. The album does tail off in the second half with the bonus tracks actually being significantly better than some of what made the main album.

I've actually been going back and cataloging many albums I've grown up with, using a similar scoring method. Although some impressive scores, for me this album comes last for me for anything I've cataloged to date. However this is one of my least favourite Pink albums so still a chance to redeem herself.

 

 

 

I want to take part in this, when is the deadline?

I’ll give a deadline of Tuesday 16th August. I’ll be sending some PMs later this week.

Just a reminder this closes on Tuesday. I’ll try and do some PMs but it’d be nice to at least get double figures (we currently have 9 rates that I’ll actually be counting).

I'm pretty sure I'll remember to do this Monday night.
