Description: There's a rule in commercial pop: don't bite the hand that feeds you. Translation? If you're getting love on TRL, it's best leaving well enough alone and tinkering only slightly with the sound that pays your bills. So you have to give Pink a whole heap of credit. The Philly-raised songbird may have made her rep with infectious and rugged pop-R&B hits like "There You Go" and the remake of "Lady Marmalade," but like the fuchsia coif she once sported, that sound is gone. In its place is a more driving alt-rock attack, liberally laced with some late-night blues and heartfelt lyrics that, while they sometimes come off like diary entries (the simplistic bon mot "Your pain is painful" in "Family Portrait"), are clearly Pink's thoughts, as opposed to words someone put in her mouth. Helping Pink express her inner Alanis are Dallas Austin, who produced the insistent rocker "18 Wheeler," and former 4 Non Blonde Linda Perry, who Pink has resurrected from one-hit-wonder status. Mixing up thumping beats, ("Get the Party Started"), with folksy confessionals, Pink's potent vocals and her honest determination make this a risk worth hearing.

Reviews:
Deep...
Since nobody has submitted a review since 2002, I suppose I should keep this simple for the poor soul who had the misfortune to read it... the album is very deep (as my title implies). I commend P!nk and Linda Perry for making an outstanding record. Good job, ladies!!
Her best album
This is her best album, the lyrics are good, the beats are so catchy. It's better than 'Can't Take Me Home' and 'Try This.' And kid who said this is all sex and drugs (????!!!!?!?!?!), have you even actually listened to this CD, you retard??!! Not a single song here even hints at either one of those things! God I hate when people write utterly random BS here. She does say 'I can go for miles if you know what I mean' once in "Get The Party Started," and the symbolism in "Just Like A Pill" might confuse a few people, but trust me, this is pretty damn tame when you compare it to other stuff out there. Anyways, ignore the obviously wrong haters and BUY THIS!!!!
Meaning of Just like pill
Seems like no one here has really got the meaning of the song. It tells exactly how a crush feels like every single day. Pure ectasy and agony.....
