Details: Amazon.ca There's a rule in commercial pop: don't bite the hand that feeds you. Translation: If you're getting love on TRL, it's best to leave well enough alone and tinker only slightly with the sound that pays your bills. So you have to give Pink a whole heap of credit. The Philly-raised songbird may have made her rep with infectious and rugged pop-R&B hits like "There You Go" and the remake of "Lady Marmalade," but like the fuchsia coif she once sported, that sound is gone. In its place is a more driving alt-rock attack, liberally laced with late-night blues and heartfelt lyrics that, while they sometimes come off like diary entries (the simplistic bon mot "Your pain is painful" in "Family Portrait"), are clearly Pink's own thoughts. Helping Pink express her inner Alanis are Dallas Austin, who produced the insistent rocker "18 Wheeler," and former 4 Non Blonde Linda Perry, whom Pink has resurrected from one-hit-wonder status. Mixing up thumping beats ("Get the Party Started") with folksy confessionals, Pink's potent vocals and her honest determination make this a risk worth hearing. This limited-edition version of the album boasts a bonus DVD that includes videos and live performances. --Amy Linden
