1. Trouble- This is a great song- maybe not the best choice for first single, but a great kick-off for the album. The bridge sounds sort of 60's though- it's good but doesn't seem to fit the beat of the rest of the song. The video is the best video I've seen in a long time. "Trouble" is a stiff at radio, but first singles aren't always an indication of how the album will do. For example, Christina Aguilera's "Stripped" is being reported as one of the top five best selling albums of 2003, but the catchy first single "Dirrty" was a huge flop. Grade- A.

2. God Is A DJ- This is a standout track. It's the second single, though it should have been the first. Off the wall chorus, and funny lines such as "I've been the girl- middle finger in the air" and "God wants you to get on the floor and shake that a**" lol. Grade- A+.

3. Last to Know- Very good, though is sort of a song that you would expect from Pink- very ordinary. The chorus gets stuck in my head all the time. This might be the third single but I hope it isn't. Grade- A- because it's still great.

4. Tonight's the Night- the sequal to "Get the Party Started" but a heck of a lot better. The line "Gotta get the h*** outa Hollywood cause every day here's halloween" is so true. Wonderful music. Grade- A.

5. Oh My God ft. Peaches- Oh my god I love this song!! (No joke intended). Peaches's rap is so hot. When I heard that Peaches was on the song, I was like "Whoa this is gonna be X- rated", but it's actually not too raunchy. Grade- A+.

6. Catch Me While I'm Sleeping- This is a beautiful ballad. The only thing I dislike about it is that despite its 5:03 running time, the verses end around the 3 minute mark and we get a 2 minute repitition of the chorus. Grade- B+.

7. Wating For Love- Oh God, Pink's vocals are amazing! So sweet and not scratchy at all (not that I don't love her "smoker" voice) on the verses and b-sides, and then so powerful on the chorus... Wow. A standout track. Grade- A.

8. Save My Life- Everyone seems to love this song, and I much as I like the lyrics and the message, the music is...average, for lack of a better word. Poorest track on the disc. Grade- B.

9. Try Too Hard- This is an amazing song with a message that will shut that little "female dog" with a tie (er...Avril Lavigne) up. I love the chorus, and it's kind of cool how Pink altered the chorus at the end so the critics can't acuse her of "calling other artists but not herself fake". Grade- A.

10. Humble Neighborhoods- The rap verses and the "weeeeeee don't wanna go home" is cool, but something about the chorus greatly disturbs me. Other than that cool song. Grade- A-.

11. Walk Away- An awesome song that might be a single for it is very radio friendly. It's sort of a poppish rock song, but that's ok. I love the end. Grade- A.

12. Unwind- Pink really likes Janis Joplin, and you can tell. It has a really funny line- "My life is like a fairy tale that nobody believes in". The chorus is great. It's sad that the woman this song is about died at 27 though. Grade- A.

13. Love Song- THE BEST SONG ON THE CD. Oh my god I love it!!! It's so sweet and subtle. The lyrics and the melody are outstanding. It's shortness is part of its charm. The perfect album closer. Grade- A++++++!

14. Hooker- Whoa. A hilarious song about all of the trashy pop stars in today's music industry. Keep this one away from kids though- she uses the f word about as much as she breathes in this song lol. Although I must admit that the line- "You ain't nothing but a hooker, sell your f***ing soul" is pretty funny.

In conclusion, "Try This" is a fantastic album that I would recomend to anyone searching for an amazing CD by a talented young lady.


Great Stuff by Pink   November 18, 2003

Pink's new CD heads in a different direction than her first 2 CD's but with the same result...great music. The harder beats provided by Tim Armstrong still seem interesting and catchy with Pink's lyrics and vocals. Pink's in your face attitude on this album comes through on almost all of her songs.

While all the songs have great lyrics and catchy hooks as well as verses my personal favorites are:

Last To Know-extremely catchy song, one of my faves, but the song is about a friend of hers that she calls a stupid f*** just because he miss one of her shows.

God Is A DJ-Awesome upbeat track, for the people who like her more dance-friendly music.

On My God-fun song, great touch to add Peaches.

Catch Me While I'm Sleeping-a great ballad, best Linda Perry/Pink calabo on the album.

Waiting For Love-my personal favorite song on the album, at the beginning the verses and the B-section builds up beautifully to the amazing chorus, which sends chills down my back. Surprised more people aren't talking about this track.

Humble Neighborhood-very unique song, chantlike "we don't wanna go home."

Walk Away-definitely one of the more radio friendly songs on this album, but I love the verses.

I was really scared for Pink thinking that she had changed her style and would not be able to top songs like Dont Let Me Get Me, Like A Pill, and Get The Party Started. She definately has. I was suprisingly pleased with this CD. She went with a more Happy and not so Mad self. Her songs have more energy and fun. She has quite a few songs in different genres. R&B, Punk Rock, Soft Rock, and Dance. I really did not like the entire Mizunderstood album but I heard this Cd once in my car and it was great, and the songs were catchy. Usually When I hear a cd for the first time I hear a few songs and then go back to the beginning of the disk. In this case I did not have the chance, becasue all the songs were so good. I am very happy and proud of her, and although her methods and images might be a little unorthodox, well thats what makes her Pink. The Dvd has the video and behind the scenes clips, pic and lyrics. It really is not a big deal but for the same price get that version instead.

I can't believe the amount of people who write reviews on here based on the success of an artist's previous album(s). It is ok for every album to be different, so stop with the comparing already!!! Now, onto the review. I am an avid fan of Pink and her talent. I already have her first 2 cds, and still listen to them frequently. I will say that I was one of the people who bought "Try This" when it came out in November. At first I wasn't sure what to think of it. There were a few songs that I really enjoyed and others that I wasn't so sure about. As I started listening to it more, I realized that this album is truly great. No, it's not like her first 2 albums, but that's not a bad thing. Her combination of rock and pop style makes an extraordinary album. It is also an awesome work out cd. I think my favorite songs on this album would have to be "Love Song", "Humble Neighborhoods", and "Oh My God". She really showcases her ability to produce various kinds of music and I commend her for that. Go buy the album, it's great!!

Try This is a great example of someones ability to move on through their musical ability. I feel that Pink started out in the R&B type industry but her true strength lies here in the more rock/rebel type sounds, I dont really think that pink has a style as such because she is her own style, she is unique. Try This proves That when you listen to the tracks, there are songs like God is a Dj which is very rock/pop, dancing music which i love to the softer side of her voice which we dont often hear when she sings the beautiful Love song.
Great album which I recommend to anyone to give it a try, unless you are already die hard pink fans, then I know of course you will already have it.
Well done Pink, Love it. 10/10
