Amazon.co.uk Review
M!ssundaztood is the follow-up to Pink's platinum selling debut. On Can't Take Me Home Pink established herself as one of the biggest R&B/pop acts of 2000; a status she later confirmed by stealing the limelight from fellow divas-with-attitude Missy Elliott, Mya and Christina Aguilera on their No. 1 cover of "Lady Marmalade". M!ssundaztood, however, reveals an ambition that extends far beyond the massed ranks of R&B's feisty female fraternity. Pink wants to be a pop star, pure and simple. Consequently, as well as the tried and tested R&B groove of first single "Get The Party Started" and funky hip-hop of "Respect", she adds a random yet brilliant selection of full-blown radio rock ("18 Wheeler", "Numb"), sassy pop ("M!ssundaztood") and emotionally charged laments ("Dear Diary", "Family Portrait", "Eventually"). Stylistically confused as it is- "Misery", a woozy bar room blues duet with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler is perhaps the most out of character--with some great tunes and a voice just as capable of fragile emotion as it is attitude, she somehow manages to pull it off. --Dan Gennoe

Customer Reviews

get any party started!
in my opinion this is the best of all the pink albums there is, "im not dead" is very good too, but this one is so cool and every single on of the songs is brilliant! pink is so cool!

Excellent from Pink
On its release this was one of the most popular pop albums of 2002 and its easy to see why.

With the combination of a variety of pop songs, P!nk established herself as the most successful female solo artist of 2002 with this fantastic follow up album to her first solo album `Can't take me home' which was good but not a patch on this one.

The album sold magnificently, 16 million people world wide recognized the singer's talents and purchased the second album of her career, outselling her debut album by 13 million, proving she has established herself as a dominant solo artist in the pop music industry.

The excellent variety adds a greater aspect of taste for the listener. Viewers have the chance to listen to the very party pop song `Get the party started' which was unluckily denied number 1. The song focuses upon Pink going out and having a good time with her friends, viewers will be able to associate with the poppy music and be able to dance with the upbeat rhythm and stylish lyrics.

We have the very affecting `Family Portrait' where Pink changes her choice of singing and goes for very emotional issues about her parents fighting and her desperation for them to resolve their problems so that they can live peacefully as a family. Undeservedly entering at 11 in the U.K. charts the song is slow and Pink sings beautifully to capture the essence of the song.

Pink's first number 1 single came with this album, `Just like a pill' and the artist worked so hard to gain her first smash audiences were extremely happy for her. The song itself focuses upon many love issues as the artist sings about someone causing her pain and the effects it has had upon her. A very slow beat captured by an upbeat chorus adds to a great listen for anyone.

There are many great slow songs including: `Dear Diary' `Gone to California' and `Eventually'
But Pink also includes party pop style songs such as '18 wheeler' and `Respect'

Collaborating with established artists such as Linda Perry and Steven Tyler created even more influential pop music and raised the rising star's status as a now established singer.

This album creates passion for the listener with slow songs but overall creates a very upbeat mood as audiences can appreciate the moods the singer is experiencing. The party songs add a great aspect of Pink's life to her album and audiences have a choice of different styles to listen to.

It's a great album and definitely worth purchasing.

Outstanding
I also realise this album was released years ago but its that good it compelled me to write a review.
Can't Take Me Home was aimed at a totally different demographic than Misunderstood, reason being that Pink took control of her career and proved LaFace she could make it as a Rock artist.
Misunderstood is an outstanding and compelling album, delving into the depths of Pinks emotion, tearing apart every misconception and allowing the listener to feel the songs with raw emotion, something which is rare in music at the moment.
Teaming up with one of the best song writers and producers in modern music Linda Perry (of 4NonBlondes and Christina Agruleria's Stripped album)Pink managed to deliver one of the most amazing albums of the past 5 or 10 years.
The album combines numerous sorts songs that include describing Pinks childhood and upbringing, such as Family Portrait and My Vietnam. Describing her rise to fame Don't Let Me Get Me and 18 Wheeler. It also contains a few party tracks, just to keep those who conform happy with Get The Party Started and Respect, none the less they are totally owned by Pink.
This was one of the biggest selling albums of the released year and a massive album for pink in terms of success and gaining respect. I've got to be honest, whilst the girl is using her head and reinventing herself Try This (her follow up album) just doesn't even compare and lacks the compassion and time that went into Misunderstood...it also showed in her tours...the Misunderstood tour was intimate and amazing whilst the Try This tour was an arena tour, and whilst excellent it just didn't touch the intimate gig for avid Pink fans.
Anyhow, buy this outstanding album, its a must have for any CD collection!
Absolutely 5/5 (hopefully she'll hook up with her idol Linda Perry again)!!!!
