Allmusic highlighted the song and noted that the similarities of 'Trouble' and Nirvana's cover of the Vaselines' 'Molly's Lips' may be on purpose. 'Trouble' has received positive reviews from critics. In 2012, Armstrong would finally record the song himself under the name Tim Timebomb. In terms of regurgitated pop filler, Funhouse offers some hits but is barely passable as a whole.Tim Armstrong had originally written the song for his own band Rancid's 2003 album, Indestructible however the song failed to make the final cut so when asked to work with Pink, he brought the song to her attention and it was partially re-written with her. Given each songвЂ™s less-than-desired quality, a homogenous version of the album would have likely grown boring after only the second or third listen. Her latest disc is all over the musical map, which will likely appeal to her fans as it gives the album a certain variety. With the recent worldwide hit вЂњSo What,вЂќ Pink is likely to find great success in the near future. Over catchy hand claps, the singer lists off her favorite drinks and exclaims: вЂњLordy, lordy, lordy! / I canвЂ™t help it I like to party, itвЂ™s genetic! / ItвЂ™s electrifying, wind me up and watch me go.вЂќ Another close hit is вЂњBad Influence,вЂќ a bass-heavy pop song with the greatest single potential of the albumвЂ™s remaining tracks.

Sadly, the song drifts into awkward rock-band-esque choruses for prolonged periods. Quick-programmed keys open the track, highlighting PinkвЂ™s luminous vocals, creating an eerie effect. вЂњItвЂ™s All Your FaultвЂќ is somewhat more successful. It only stands out because it simply doesnвЂ™t fit with the rest of the albumвЂ™s collection. It deals with - what else - the constant fighting that leads to a breakup. The quasi-ballad вЂњMeanвЂќ has a marked country vibe that sounds more like Sheryl Crow than an actual Pink cut. The rest of the album is a collection of would-be singles that couldnвЂ™t quite make the mark (вЂњFunhouse,вЂќ for example), strained rock ballads bemoaning her recent breakup (вЂњPlease DonвЂ™t Leave MeвЂќ) and a variety of other subpar cuts. It stands above most of the albumвЂ™s subsequent selections, but canвЂ™t rescue the entire disc. The pop-rock song is a lot more subdued than the caffeinated вЂњSo What,вЂќ with PinkвЂ™s exceptional voice carrying the majority of it. Keeping in tune with the songвЂ™s theme, Pink belts вЂњHow do I feel this good sober?вЂќ in a haunting key. The most recent single - aptly titled вЂњSoberвЂќ - details PinkвЂ™s battles with addiction. Like so many other tracks on the breakup-influenced album, it laments the artistвЂ™s recent divorce from husband Carey Hart, opening with the line вЂњI guess I just lost my husband / I donвЂ™t know where he went.вЂќ ItвЂ™s jumpy and exciting, with all the key ingredients of a radio hit, and sharply contrasts the rest of the albumвЂ™s more low-key cuts. The discвЂ™s first single, the Martin Max produced вЂњSo What,вЂќ is PinkвЂ™s only number one solo hit. The album veers from classic chart-friendly smashes to country-influenced ballads of woe to her former dance-rock endeavors.

On her most recent album, Funhouse, Pink admirably tries to formulate a distinct sound, but the disjointed result ultimately falls short.ДЇunhouse reverts Pink to her prior methods with wide-ranging musical experimentation. The artist has since experimented with a wild assortment of sounds, ranging from her initial R&B-style hits to mild flirtations with harder rock-based hooks on her subsequent records, before finally settling into her role as a pop starlet. Pop tart Pink has made a name for herself as the so-called вЂњalternativeвЂќ to the manufactured Christinas and Britneys of top-40 popвЂ™s glory days.
