Let's discuss Stripped reviews and why is P!nk's name in every review:
Quote:
Then came the Pink album Missundazstood (see Greatest Sophomore Breakthroughs, behind Hole and ahead of the Rolling Stones).
As you may have heard, that album's title track, lead single, and a handful of ballads were all written by Linda Perry. They weren't uniformly great: There's something weird about "My Vietnam," and something Led-Zep-should-sue about "Gone to California." But pop was never about uniformly great. "Get the Party Started" is brilliant, and "Missundazstood" isn't much less. Implausibly, Linda Perry was a genius. Suddenly she was the hottest pop auteur around. And her specialty was taking schoolgirls from crayons to perfume.
Plus, Stripped clearly has its origins in the sound of two of Christina's teen pop contemporaries -- the teasing sexiness of Britney Spears and the wonderful, gonzo dance-rock confessionals of Pink, who truly did break the mold with M!ssundaztood.
