Get Ready For A Wild Ride

P!nk - Funhouse
4.5/5

P!nk is back with a vengeance! After 2 and a half years of work, Funhouse has finally hit the shelves (or at least been leaked off by a UK stor online)! P!nk recently broke up with her husband who she'd only been married for for 2 years, and you can tell that is where most influence for this came from. Every song here is a constant reminder of love going or gone wrong (except the war fighter, Ave Mary A, which is definately one of the best here). The CD is one of the most lyrically powerful i've ever heard and it clearly is better than most of her other work. She has truly evolved slowly, CD by CD. And though "Try This" would probably be my favourite CD of hers, at least i like every single song on this CD. "Try This" has a little fault with some songs but made up for it with other outstanding stuff. "Funhouse" pretty much defines the word outstanding for the most part. Songs "I Don't Believe You" and "Sober" have no become part of my favourite p!nk songs of all time, and the others are almost just as good. "I Don't Believe You", clearly being the best track overall, has her best lyrics to date and it involves so much relatability to me currently, which is why it is my favourite. Of course, with these power ballads we get some upbeat-i-dont-give-a-flying-shit music with "So What", "Bad Influence" and "Funhouse" which are all original yet similar to P!nk's older music. The next two singles "Sober" and "Please Don't Leave Me" couldn't have been better choices. Let Sober grow on you and i'm sure you'll never stop listening to it. Please Don't Leave Me is just the same, and, now that i hear them in perfect quality, the music on both is fresh and amazing.
This CD can probably boast the least faults of all her others. Only Mean and One Foot Wrong are forgettable, but they will eventualy be in your head after 3 listens.
Overall, Funhouse isn't the most amazingly outstanding CD ever released, but its probably one of the best of the year, and it is one of my favourites in a while and is hardly close to faulting anywhere.
