Album Description

Amazon.com
Some music is celebrated for its elegant subtlety; Pink's slams you over the head. Four albums in, she's not changing her formula. I'm Not Dead touches on bulimia ("Stupid Girls"), war-mongering politicians ("Dear Mr. President"), teen angst ("Conversations With My 13 Year Old Self," "Runaway"), overheated pickup artists ("U + Ur Hand"), and gross materialism ("I Got Money Now"). None of it, in other words, is for featherweight listeners. Then again, none of it suits eggheaded college tastemakers either. Where this translates, then, is with those willing to man up and embrace what makes Pink Pink: her spellbinding ability to render rebelliousness in all the many colors of the rainbow. Neil Young-inspired acoustic guitar is sketched into "The One That Got Away," but it's just as quickly scribbled over by Joan Jett-style ranting (on "Long Way to Happy") and Janis Joplin/Joss Stone-fueled howling (on "Who Knew"). Even R&B gets its turn ("I Got Money Now"). The album also includes appearances from the Indigo Girls, who duet on "Dear Mr. President," and Pink's father, who joins for the hidden track "I Have Seen The Rain." Pink pulls all of this off, and probably without even breathing hard. She's not dead. --Tammy La Gorce More from Pink

Best of her Career August 15, 2006
The other reviews saying that this is one of the best CD's of P!nk's career weren't kidding. This album is my favorite and the dvd extras on the dual disc were awesome, too. If you are looking for something new and also like a variety of music, this is for you.
 An Exception To the Rule of 'Pop' June 18, 2006
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
It may not have been as large a hit as her 2001 triumph "M!ssundaztood," but P!nk's 2003 LP "Try This" certified her artistic prowess and left no doubt that she was in a class all her own. She continues this trend of increasing musical quirkiness and thus quality with her aptly-titled comeback effort "I'm Not Dead."
With lead single "Stupid Girls" P!nk has affirmed in a downright infectious way what many have felt in frustration for the longest time - this culture cultivates stupid girls, and everything about it is despicable. Also, follow-up single "Who Knew?," on which she collaborated with pop tunesmith Max Martin, shines and sparkles in all the right places and is a likely summer hit.
However, sharp material abounds in much variety on "I'm Not Dead." The title crack crackles and lilts with forthrightness amid its raw arrangements and stream-of-conscious lyrics, while "Dear Mr. President," collaboration with the Indigo Girls, may be the most dignified and effective protest of the Bush administration recorded yet.
"How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?/How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?/How do you walk with your head held high?/Can you even look me in the eye?"
She also includes an excellent slice of pure power pop with "Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely)" that fits her personal style while still sounding pointedly mainstream, while brooding over intense subject matter in selections like the passionate "Long Way to Happy" and "Runaway," the latter of which serves as a companion to "Conversations With My 13-Year-Old Self." Both realistically articulate the darkness that often accompanies growing up, a skill P!nk has proven deft at.
Also included are the illustrious "Nobody Knows" and "The One That Got Away," the latter of which finds her sounding like a much more talented Phoebe Buffay. Last but not least, she displays her signature attitude with "`Cuz I Can" and "U + Ur Hand," the latter in which she forthrightly tells her man that she refuses to be objectified as a sex object.
Overall, P!nk has come a long way since the pop/r&b trappings of her debut album six years ago. Not only has her music increased in quality with each successive record, but she has proven herself an excellent role model for young people through her lyrics, individuality and political awareness. Pop stars may be a dime a dozen these days, but she is an exception to the rule.

P!nk at her absolute best! May 30, 2006
I didn't think I could love a P!nk album as much as I did "M!ssundaztood" but I have to say that "I'm Not Dead" is an amazing album and that I may like it even better that "M!ssundaztood". P!nk is in a whole different league with this album. "I'm Not Dead" is one of the must-own albums of 2006 in my opinion. Buy it!
Great CD, but DualDisc's are a pain! May 27, 2006

Well, I'm not really a Pink fan, my wife likes her and that's why we bought the CD but I gotta say this CD is really good. Pink has a great voice and the bonus track with her dad is wonderful. However, my wife put the CD in our 5 CD Changer in slot number 1 and it played it just fine, so we went to take it out to watch the DVD footage and the CD got stuck! I decided to take the screws off and see if I could get the CD out, well apparently Phillips didn't want me to do that because they used these stupid screws that no one in the world would have a screwdriver to fit (except maybe them of course). So I pull it down off my entertainment center and decided to fool with it in the other room. I turned it in different directions and kept pressing "open" to see if it would dislodge it and open the CD tray so I could take it out...finally in a miracle the CD tray opened and I got it out! All I have to say is that if you buy this DO NOT PUT IT IN A SHELF DISC CHANGER! The thickness is too great and it WILL get stuck!
