Avril Lavigne [Explicit]

Generally, I believe that the punk/pop/rock genre that Avril Lavigne represents is starting to fade away. After the way "Goodbye Lullaby" was treated by the audience I believed that she might have been over. And to be honest I wasn't anticipating for new material, though I was saddened by the thought of her never releasing anything ever again. But probably it was just me being over obsessed with #1s and huge radio hits. So I was glad when I learned that she was releasing new material.

"Here's to never growing up" is a moderate pop/rock song with not many chances of becoming a hit on the modern radio stations. A bit disappointing for lead single; she should have released something very up-tempo and catchy to get herself back in the game. "Rock n' roll" on the other hand could've been that song, but it also failed to make any impact at all. "Let me go" (the 3rd single) is a kind of boring song that leaves me indifferent, really.
The album cover is spectacular, although it doesn't reflect its sound. It looks dark, but it sounds mostly happy and careless. A good example is "Hello Kitty", which should become a single ASAP! It's so silly, modern and fresh that should blow the listeners' minds! Also "Give you what you like" `s haunting instrumentation makes it one of the best album tracks.

The best songs are:
-Rock N Roll
-Give You What You Like
-Bad Girl (Feat. Marilyn Manson)
-Hello Kitty
-You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet
-Hello Heartache

All in all, her self-titled album is solid, full of very good songs, but not many have a prospective of becoming the comeback single everyone is waiting for. I don't think Avril herself gives a dime about becoming a hit as she used to be, as long as she doesn't lose her sound and her quality. And that's fine with me. It's way better than "Goodbye Lullaby" and is one step to the right direction. For what it's worth, it's one of the best albums of the year and hasn't disappointed as I expected! 5/5

loving this new album of hers you can tell her hubby is in it.
this came really quick and well packaged. was really happy with it.

I love Avril and have all her other albums, and I know she's married to Chad Kroeger, but he has had far far far too much influence on this album, and it might as well be a Nickelback album with guest vocals from Avril Lavigne. First couple of tracks are very much Avril Lavigne, then the unmistakable sound of Nickelback takes over, as Kroeger produces and co-writes the majority of the tracks. Not a patch on Goodbye Lullaby, unfortunately. A bit disappointing.

Some of her best work. Saw the video for one of the songs whilst in a hotel and bought the album on a whim. Definitely don't regret it.

Absolutely brilliant cd i can not fault a single song but my absolute favourite is let me go with Chad Kroger a beautiful song that I listen to at least once a day:)

A brilliant album by Avril Lavigne which matches and level pegs most of her other albums from the past that she has done as well.

Heard a track from this album on the radio & decided to get it . I'm over 50 & don't buy much modern music
But this appealed to me. I don't know any thing about the artist & don't want to, but this has some good tunes
On it . It's not ground breaking in any way ( we must have used up every permutation of chord progression by
Now ) but my ears like it & they would recommend it.

all the songs on this album are great unlike some of the albums people fetch out. sometimes there are only 1 or 2 good songs on albums unlike this one

It has a whole range of songs, very good to listen in the car all around epic, this is a must for any music lover

A massive fan of Avril Lavigne and this album dose not disappoint. I recommend for fan to buy the album there's no song i do not like. Amazing!!!!
