I listened to Avril Lavigne's latest album, "The Best Damn Thing," and I believe it is definitely catchy, with the right mix of fun and entertaining tracks along with softer and mellower ones.
Even though sometimes the formula of some songs turns out to be repetitive, each song has something different from the others; I recommend it to those who want to have fun, as the singer herself has often stated.
The rating is a generous 6.5... go Avril, keep it up. Bye everyone.
"This album doesn’t make sense, it’s not one of those records where you can say: oh yes, it really means a lot to me... it was created specifically to entertain my fans."
"Avril is back more charged than ever, she has finally made peace with her wardrobe, married the hunchback of Notre Dame, bought a nice villa in LA, and spat on the paparazzi’s heads..."
Sparkling, fun, aggressive, exciting... well, these are the attributes that characterize it!
Are you really sure you want to miss something destined to become the best damn thing you have?!
"When You're Gone" by Avril Lavigne is the most beautiful and intelligent track from her latest album.
All in all, it’s a very listenable album, not at all boring, but above all fun and cheerful like Avril.
"Just the first single, 'Girlfriend', is enough to make you shiver, with cliches more than overused of fake heavy guitars sped up by overdubbing and sing-songy voice."
"The only poetess and princess of punk is and always will be Patti Smith, and forgive me if that’s not much."
Sickly sweet pop evidently engineered to dominate the fragile and stupid minds of today’s teenagers.
Copies sold: almost three million, 'here I start crying.'
