Love RNR. One of my fave songs of the year.

HTNGU grew on me big time.

Seventeen is ok. The lack of a chorus lets it down.

Bitchin' Summer is regressive. Still singing about a school bell at 30? Hmmm.

Let Me Go - something serious needed and it delivers. I can still imagine Amy Lee singing this.

Give You What You Like - Killer track. I love her voice on this and the effects used. Fantastic. The contrast in this and Bitchin' Summer is unbelievable. Hard to believe it is the same artist - this pretty sums up her career.

Bad Girl - I like this. Reminds me of Muse - Black Hole

Hello Kitty - WTF did I just listen to??? Suspect

Why does she do things like this? Eughh. Embarrassing.

You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet - Sounds like Let Go Avril. Average Avril song. The "Yets" screamed at the end ruin it.

Sippin on Sunshine - "You're look so fly, hotter than July" is one of the worst lyrics she has ever written. Don't like this. Too forced. Sounds like something Miley Cyrus would have sung in her Disney days.

Hello Heartbreak - Probably my favourite song on the album. Fucking love this! Oh Avril. You are all over the shop this album.

Falling Fast and Hush - 2 nice typical Avril ballads to end the album. Hush is the better of the 2. They wouldn't sound out of place on Goodbye Lullabye.

The Great
RNR
Hello Heartbreak
Give You What You Like

The Good
Here's To Never Growing Up
Let Me Go
Bad Girl

The Mediocre/Average
Seventeen
Falling Fast
Hush
You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet

The Bad
Bitching Summer
Sipping on Sunshine

The WTF
Hello Kitty

Decent album. A lot of fat that needed to be cut but overall good. Would still rank it ahead of TBDT but behind the other 3. Some great songs and a good balance of commercial and serious songs. I still feel she doesn't know who she is as an artist but for the most part she makes the best of both.

I was also shocked to read Larry Rudolph is her manager. Clearly he is spending all his time on Britney and Miley while most people don't even know Avril has a new album out...

Couldn't agree more! Avril can be very hit and miss with her songs. I feel like she needs to stick more to songs like Let Me Go, Give You What You Like, Hello Heartache and Bad Girl.

She needs to stop trying to make bubbly pop happen. It's not her.

Avril Lavigne (Epic) 40-45k.

A lot more than I expected.

The more I listen to the album, the more I like it. But I do find myself skipping over Bitchin' Summer and Hello Kitty. There were no skippers on Goodbye Lullaby for me.

Top 6 songs on the album:

#1. Give You What You Like
#2. Hello Heartache
#3. Let Me Go
#4. Bad Girl
#5. Rock N Roll
#6. Falling Fast

EXCELLENT songs. Every one of them. I wish Avril was more consistent in releasing songs like those six.

I would rank the rest like this:

#7. Here's to Never Growing Up
#8. Hush Hush
#9. You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet
#10. 17
#11. Sippin' On Sunshine
#12. Bitchin' Summer
#13. Hello Kitty

Those last 3 are amongst the worst of her career. Awful songs.

Did anyone else know that Deryck took Avril's surname when they got married and kept it all these years. In fact he only just filed papers to drop it now. 4 years after their divorce...

Technically he is Deryck Jason Lavigne Whibley
