The
wild, crazy-haired anti-pop-star has grown up a bit for her second album,
Missundaztood — or at least she’s taken more control of her music and turned it
into her personal statement. Pink’s second album couldn’t be much more of a switch from
her debut album, Can’t Take Me Home. This time, there’s a little less pop and a
lot more punch. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Pink’s first album — and I love this one,
too. But on Missundaztood, Pink shows more emotion and depth — and wit. Instead
of an entire album full of songs about boys, it’s an album full of songs about boys, her
parents’ divorce, her career, how others see her, and how she sees
herself.
While the danceable songs are still there — songs like “Don’t
Let Me Get Me” and “Get the Party Started” — Pink also tries her hand at more bluesy
tunes and a little bit of rock as well. There’s even “Misery” — featuring Steven
Tyler’s vocals and a Richie Sambora guitar solo.
Missundaztood
shows every single one of Pink’s personalities — her tough chick side, her party girl
side, and the quieter, thoughtful side that we didn’t get to see on her first album. And
though the songs vary so much, the album still feels perfectly seamless. It’s one that I
can listen to over and over all day without getting bored.

After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
