I'm Not Dead (Platinum Edition) (CD + DVD)

Limited two disc (CD + PAL/Region 0 DVD) Australian Tour Edition of Pink's fourth album comes housed in different artwork and features two bonus remixes on the CD ('Who Knows' and 'U + Ur Hand) plus a bonus DVD featuring four video clips ('Stupid Girls', 'Who Knew', 'U + Ur Hand' and 'Nobody Knows'), two live videos ('Dear Mr. President' and 'Leave Me Alone') and two 'making of the video...' mini documentaries ('Stupid Girls' and 'U + Ur Hand'). Sony/BMG.

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
