Great job on SNL (and BT would be a totally fine second single compared to Revenge).
I wonder how big her second week drop will be.

I'm afraid of tomorrow's HDD update.
What if this is all a dream and they reveal she'll really sell 150k? Lol.

I've only had time to listen to the album 1.5 times. I need more time for it to sink in - not much is memorable so far but some are enjoyable on second listen.

Secrets, Revenge and Whatever you Want are stand outs while Beautiful Trauma is my pick for best song from this.

The album is pretty bland.
"Whatever You Want"
"Secrets"
"You Get My Love"
However I haven't enjoyed any Pink songs like these in over a decade. "Whatever You Want" is right up there with I'm Not Dead quality. And "You Get My Love" is giving me Try This vocals.

It went UP?! Holy s**t!
This album is growing on me really quickly as a whole. I have to say, it's better than The Truth About Love, which is what I was hoping for since I feel that album was overall very weak and a huge step down for her even if it did have a few career highlights (Run, Try, Just Give Me a Reason, etc.). I still don't think it's quite up to the level of M!ssundaztood, I'm Not Dead, or Funhouse (my phone wants to change that to Fungicide by the way), but it is an improvement and that's all I hoped for.
Album highlights for me initially:
Where We Go
Secrets
For Now
Whatever You Want
Revenge
Beautiful Trauma
But there isn't really a song I dislike on the album, which is more than I can say for TTAL and its plethora of album fillers.

Went from liking to loving the album now after a few good listens. First album of 2017 that I've bought!

Amazing numbers--that bundle was a great idea. Wish I personally enjoyed the album a bit more, but she's so awesome. Wish her all the success, and would still love to see her live some day.

Love that she's kicking ass! Got my tickets for MSG in April. Wish it wasn't so far away! The album's slowly growing on me too. Really hope 'Whatever You Want' becomes a single.

I'm curious how many albums she would have sold without the bundle. That bundle has to be helping her in drastic ways. Her lead single did well but nothing that would push an album to over 300k opening. Good for her, though. Easily one of my favorite artists and I love that she is still doing so well.

I LOVE HER #butherbundletho.
Damn, y'all, let the woman stunt a bit. She has earned it. Concert sales speak much louder than record sales as a true indicator of support anyway so, as far as I am concerned, the CD is just a thank you gift to the truest fans.
Wound up paying a couple extra dollars for this to support the local Austin record shop. Can't wait til I get home to give it a listen in full!

I’m loving the subtle shade of the bundle.
Album sales, concert tickets sold, streams....

Bitch is killing it, either way you wanna spin it It's an incredibly impressive opening number - but she's definitely NOT killing it on streams - only WAB managed Top 200 placement. Very unusual for a monster opening. Regardless, I hope this project has legs. |

I’m loving the subtle shade of the bundle. Album sales, concert tickets sold, streams.... Bitch is killing it, either way you wanna spin it I had a LONG post going on about each song and lost it when I had to restart my computer. D'oh! Anyway, fresh hot take: The shadesters aren't even trying to be subtle. Let's stop all of the wondering how a bundle impacted strong sales and realize that P!nk's best music is bombastic and emotional, not cheesy bratty mall-pop/rock. Y'all know how I feel about Kelly's pop-rock phase and how she needed to grow the fuck up and focus on singing. Well, P!nk has done that, for the most part. Deride it by calling it soccer-mom music but I actually don't know any soccer moms cool enough to listen to P!nk anyway. P!nk is still that bad-ass rebel that she always has been. I don't see that ever changing and it's all over the lyrics (although I kinda worry about her marriage even more now...it doesn't even seem healthy, if these lyrics are to be believed or maybe they were written during an undocumented rough patch POST-reconciliation. My favorite P!nk songs are Who Knew, Just Give Me A Reason, Try, Family Portrait, and I Don't Believe You. I do really enjoy some of the stupid fun songs like Blow Me, Raise Your Glass, and especially So What (and even more so when wasted) but, I really want emotion and rawness from her, in lyrical content and voice. Anyway, this album shits all over TTAL (the main album particularly) and for the record, it's her only album without filler. She has ALWAYS succumbed to filler with some ridiculously strong singles. Even though I could've ended the album with I Am Here, to be honest, the last two songs are beautiful. You just know she is at peace with the AC stage her career is ending on when she closes the album with a pair of piano ballads that are more Adele than anything else she has done before. She is even throwing in multiple nods to Mumford, which I'm cool with. I Am Here is the best of those songs, especially with the soul and gospel she throws behind it. I actually remember her talking about this song and being like "gospel?!" But yeah, I am a fan. I love Revenge. Don't @ me. It's MILES above the other songs they have done together and it's bouncy and quirky. Here comes that singing part again is SO P!nk. This song is a throwback P!nk song, for sure. Also, a throwback to My Name Is. I dig it, Max. Jack Antonoff is slowly becoming one of my favorite producers. He SLAYED St Vincent and Lorde's albums and OOTW is my second favorite Taylor song so yeah...I love his work. Beautiful Trauma is great; Better Life is catchy but not on a Beautiful Trauma-level. Issa bop though. Whatever You Want punches me in the feels. It needs to be released. Everything about that song comes together - the strings, the beat, the acoustic strumming, the background vocals, and P!nk's wailing. I am gutted by the end. And then there is the Slurpia contribution. When I read that Julia was involved before actually hearing the song, I didn't expect P!nk to actually mimic her singing style, LOL. That said, I believe it's the best song on the album by FAR. That chorus has me on the floor in a weeping mess. I can't. So yeah, I love this album. Even the ballads at the end have their place, the more I hear them. Excellent work and I'm proud of the success. |

After listening to the album a few times, I love it. It’s better than TTAL but I wouldn’t put it above TT,IND or Funhouse.
