Amazon.co.uk Review: Whilst easily one of the most distinctive female pop vocalists of the last ten years, with her hot-headed persona and torching rock vocals barrelling through empowered songs both infectious and tender, P!nk did step back into line somewhat for more one-size-fits-all last album I'm Not Dead. Her voice aside, there was little pull her apart from her peers or to suggest she'd ever again go on to release anything as definitive as her breakthrough album M!ssundaztood. But whether driven by young pretenders like Katy Perry making a grab for her crown or by that perennial emotional motivator--break-up (she was divorced between albums)--Funhouse utterly redeems P!nk. From the front cover through most tracks on the record she stokes the wild-child inside herself that made her famous in the first place, but in most examples there is also evidence of a fostering maturity, whether in the crystal beauty and depth of ballads "Glitter In the Air" or "I Don't Believe You" or the firm-handed command of more built-up tunes like the Red Hot Chili Peppers vs. Joan Jett coarseness of "Sober" or sassy rocker "Boring" that somewhat improbably combines The Dandy Warhols' "Horse Pills" and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' "Get Ready For Love" as though delivered by the Pussycat Dolls. And maturity aside, bold first single "So What" and future-funk swing dance "Bad Influence" are about the catchiest, and indeed gutsiest, things she's delivered in years. --James Berry

The hit single off this album really got stuck in my head, mainly because someone threw a sharpened copy of it at me in a record store. I decided to buy a copy of the single on the strength of the fact I could not get it out of my head! (without opening the arterie it had lodged itself in and causing me to bleed to death). ...

Rating: - disappointing
Was looking forward to this album so much, but it was sadly a let down, it is not Pink's best form, the main song we call know by now so what grates on you after a few times and the only song on the album I liked was please don't leave me it felt real the rest felt I hate to say it but sadly false, it is missing that essence ...
