Reviews Customer Reviews for Try This      Try Pink.....If You Want It      Rating:       People have said over and over again that this album doesn't have the poppy dance leaning that Missundaztood contained. It needs to be kept in mind though that Pink is someone whose made a lot of artistic growths over the years. This CD finds her in that place where she was riding on momentum from the previous album and her appearance on the Moulin Rouge soundtrack-she was hotter then a solar flare in 2003. Pink just didn't deliver the album people expected. And that's a good thing as it puts her in the same arena as Madonna and other female pop stars who made a career out of doing the unexpected.As for the music this does have a more organic,"real" sound and a edgier rock style. "Trouble" is just that,so is pretty much everything else here. The songs are really strong;just not as obviously so as before.Besides with it's 70's/80's R&B sound "Catch Me While I'm Sleeping" would'nt have been a bad musical direction for Pink to go in next. But the things that make Pink stand out in the crowd-her big soulful voice,autobiographic lyrics,great writing and "rebel girl" image are all alive and kicking on all thrusters here. So if you can deal with Pink's "ever changing moods" pick this one up and give it a try.Might be a lot of fun!     Customer Reviews for Try This Cd      Try This and you'll like it      Rating:      For Try This, P!nk opted to continue in the vein of previous singles like "Don't Let Me Get Me" and bring her music up a rocking notch or two, so she took the help of Tim Armstrong of Rancid, and came up with a damn fine album. Not quite as meandering as her latest album, this album does have the hippity hoppity fun of dance in songs like "God Is A DJ" but with the opening rock hit of "Trouble" and the poppy stylings of "Walk Away" and "Save My Life" this isn't anywhere near that first album she put out there. There's even a Peaches duet for crying out loud on the soothing and oh so gritty "Oh My God"; and of course Pink's raspy laced attitude is everywhere from the searing opener to the ballady closer. To me, Pink is the talent that is going to outlast them all and this is the album that everyone should own. Editorial Reviews for Try This Audio Cd      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
