From Amazon.com
While detractors may grouse that Pink's third album doesn't have a dance floor anthem on it like the incendiary "Get The Party Started" from 2001's Missundaztood, some prefer their Pink straight up and damn the paper drink umbrellas and crepe paper. She's at her very best raiding her own troubled autobiography for inspiration, spitting out vituperrious vocal epitaphs like seeds from a ripe watermelon instead of the angst-ridden confessional romp she took through Missundaztood. Maybe she's worked all that out on a psychiatrist's couch, because this time out her anger is much more arch and entertaining; likely due to her pairing with Rancid's Tim Armstrong, who co-wrote and produced most of the disc and certainly knows the value of turning rage into a well-crafted musical punch line. As unlikely as the collaboration looked on paper, it works perfectly because the Pennsylvania native has always brandished a punk sneer beneath the corsets, gaudy hair color, and naughty girl demeanor. Armstrong and his Rancid cohorts (Lars Frederiksen and Matt Freeman) inject feral rock action into the disc with their truncated guitar sounds and trash can drumming and provide a perfect foil for Pink's foul-mouth rants and backstage laments like "Last To Know." But Pink hasn't shaved her spiky coiffure into a Mohawk. She still smolders on a soulful ballad like "Catch Me While I'm Sleeping" or trades vitriol with raps' redoubtable sex kitten, Peaches. --Jaan Uhelszki

Customer Reviews

A Change But None The Less...A Success
When I First heard that Pink had a new album in stores I was very specticle.Her Last Album "Mizzunderstood" took a very long time for me to get used to.But I kept in mind that the "Cant Take Me Home" Pink was not her at all.Once I got passed the Rock&Roll/Punk sound.I finally noticed this is the real deal.This is not "Pink" per say but this is Phelica Moore.She's actually talking about something other than the usual "you Did me wrong I want you dead and your girlfriend out my bed" songs.

When I heard Try This being used to the new and real Pink,I understood this album and it's sound.I actually loved this album.If she didn't prove her vocal abillity on "Lady Momerlaud"
then she most definetly proved it on this album.With such songs as "God Is a Dj" sparking some contriversey and "Unwind",where Pink strikes a very noticable vocal simularity with the great lengend Janic Joplin.The is even aparently suppose to be baised around the original white girl with soul,the legend miss Janic Joplins life.I wouldnt be surprised it's known that Pink is a huge Janic Joplin fan,and not by many but that next summer of 2005 Pink will be portreying the legend in a biopic of her life.Even though Rene Zellwegger will also in the highly anticipated "Piece Of My Heart" (Witch is a Janic Joplin song,for those who dont know).

But all in all Pink proves with this album that she is and will always be a force to be recond with.

Oh, dear
I suppose it's best to be up-front here: I've never particularly paid much attention to Pink before, or her music. Sure, she's got a great voice (although it's grown to irritate me now), and her debut was kinda fun. (And man, I loved Most Girls and Hell Wit Ya) And while I didn't find M!ssundaztood to be the masterpiece everyone else regarded it as, I thought it was pretty nice all the same.

But then... well, something happened. In-between all this, Pink's attitude turned cocky, and she seemed to be trying to convince everyone (including, it seems, herself) that she was some sort of bad, cool rebel chick who didn't give a crap about the who, what, when, where, how, and why of any or everything.

Unfortunately, the rebel-chick-in-training rears her head all over and album that should've been good.

The music's decent for the most part - if you're into energetic pop-rock (like I am), then if you ignore the lyrics (in which Pink tries to shove her new attitude into our faces), then you'll be in paradise. Possibly.

Unfortunately for me, the songs on Try This either drag on far too long (Trouble, Catch Me While I'm Sleeping), or are too loud and screechy, and the lyrics are often too eye-rolling (Humble Neighborhoods, in which Pink declares "We're bad people and we do bad things") or hypocritical (the amusing Try Too Hard - in which Pink chastises someone for trying too hard to be percieved as different and special - never mind that Pink seems to have befallen the same unfortunate fate - and the crass, just-plain-dumb hidden track, Hooker, which finds Pink calling someone... well, a hooker, although I'm pretty sure Pink won't be the demurity poster child anytime soon)

There IS one bright spot through all the muck and suck, however, and - surprise surprise - it's a dance track (God Is A DJ) which is just plain fun if you ignore the, once again, "I'm-a-bad-chick" attempts on here ("cigarette smile," "daddy, I hate you," "lover, hey, [Fornication Under Consent of King] you")

I tried to like it. But, in the end, it just failed to grab me. Plus, Pink's attitude does nothing to help my opinion of the album itself, so there's another strike against her. Hopefully, though, soon she'll just stop trying so hard to come across as cool and bad and just be herself. (And let THAT speak for her - subtly, though, not bash it into our heads with the lyrics like on here)

(Although I'm glad to see others are enjoying it, at least)

"TRY THIS" don't even!
I have liked Pink before when her image at the "Can't Take Me Home" album is still being patronized. The songs are good as well... "You Make Me Sick" and "Most Girls". Now she has matured and certainly went away from being dirty to FAR MORE DIRTY! In her "Trouble" video, the whole point of the clip was to make chaos in which Pink would enter a western bar and beat everyone up, then she ends up truimphant. She just wants to show that she's tough! a tomboy I must say! Almost the same attempt was done for the video of "God Is A DJ". First of all, Pink can't sing and that's a fact. I'll give her a star for she's a good dancer and that's basically about it! YUCK!
