The part of this review that spoke to me the most is how Avril's image is actually quite different than what most of her first album sounds like, and in fact that's why I love Let Go so much, it is a genuinely good album, and if it wasn't for that variety it wouldn't be half as good as it is. Don't get me wrong, I love Sk8er Boi as much as the next person, but you never hear anyone talking about Mobile, Tomorrow, Anything But Ordinary, Things I'll Never Say, etc. All those songs, along with the better known classics like Sk8er Boi and I'm With You, etc, are what makes Let Go such an enjoyable listen to me, even after all these years. And sadly, it's like you said, this new album feels like forcing something that isn't even what genuinely made that first record so good to begin with.

Anthony, you can't give this a 4 just because she doesn't like your girlfriend and thinks you need a new one.

My wife loves this album. So it’s automatically a 10 for me 😅

under my skin puts this album to shame

I agree almost 100% with this review, except Avalanche…one of the best tracks on the record! Behind only Deja Vu in my book

Although there isn't much growth per se, and pop punk is inferior to "Avril" pop rock, I think a 4 is a little underrated. The album is a solid 6, above average. There are good songs here, hopefully she'll stick to some rock in the future... which i doubt.

That album title told me the score before Anthony said a word

I definitely read this more as a cringey fun album. Like it sounds like it was written without the intent of being taken too seriously. I agree that some of the themes are too repetitive, but generally loved it for the energy it has.

I absolutely love Avril and her music (even stuff from her last few albums), but I am kind of disappointed in the album. There are a bunch of songs that I enjoy, but it just doesn't feel authentic in the same way that her old music did. It just feels too much like she is giving into the Barker/MGK sound that seems to plague any popular pop punk music that we hear nowadays. It obviously wouldn't exactly work to write in the exact same way that she did on her first few albums, but I just wish that she would've stayed more true to her own brand and style of pop punk and singer-songwriter stuff that she used to do. It's still like a strong 6/10 for me, but I think she could've made a much more interesting and meaningful return to this style of music than she did.

I feel exact the same way. I love her first two albums. even though she was so young, there's something so insightful and wise in the lyrics, the way she articulated her experiences with love and heartbreak. It seems to me like a lot of people think that pop punk is inherently immature (and, admittedly, a lot of it is) but to me this new album doesn't seem like her trying to go back to her roots, it's more like a facade, shallow, cheap and inauthentic. I really look up to young Avril because she did a great job of putting how I felt into words but the way she sings about "love" now is something I'd never want for myself. maybe she has been in too many unhealthy toxic relationships and that has warped her perception and made her think genuine and healthy love doesn't exist, and if that's the case that makes me really sad for her... I understand this new album is supposed to have a more lighthearted and playful tone but honestly just not for me. Watching her recent interviews she seems off to me, I don't remember her ever having spoken so childlike. She looks like she's wearing a costume. Maybe she just needs new songwriters lol

I remember the first time hearing Avril in a friends car and thinking "Wtf, this sounds EXACTLY like Marvelous 3", checked out the liner notes and sure as shit, co-written and produced by Butch Walker. Not really a fan of hers, but the tracks Walker co-wrote and produced on her 2nd/3rd records were pretty damn good.

she honestly needs new songwriters. how can she go from her first two albums to THIS.

I liked the consistent energy this album had from start to finish. I think it's her best album since Under My Skin

Hmm. Have you listened to head above water? I loved It was in me

I've always liked the track Complicated from 20 years ago

I’ve always loved the purity in her voice, and thought her early songwriting was timeless, but man she really lost her way after the classic The Best Damn Thing. Her stuff after that either puts you to sleep or makes you cringe, just sad.

@@uhuhuh1966 Lmao i was 3 but i got into Avril when i was like 9 or 10 with Let Go record. The album is such a solid debut and i still do consider it as her best album (might never change i guess). Hillary Duff was the shit back then. I could've sworn that i actually thought she could've been the next Britney Spears along with Lindsay Lohan but yeah sis fell off. Like her tho 🤩.

Honestly this is genuinely one of the best albums in 2022

I disagree. This album is great, it's about having fun and messing around. She was stuck at home for a few years, being sick, and when she came back, she released a lame, grown-ups album Head above water, which seriously doesn't fit her, but this album is fun, brings me back to my teenage times. Yes, the lyrics are silly, but we need songs like those too :) and Analanche is quite depressing, on the contrary. I was on her concert this year and when this song started, she got very emotional and shed a tear.

I agree this is not as good artisticlly as let go or under my skin But its a good and fresh album Just about fun and to show that avril still rocks i liked it and happy for us the fans fkr getting it

Avril is kind of on and off for me. The first album shows maturity and promise, two things which continued on Under My Skin. From there, it's pretty much downhill, since she leans harder and harder into the immature 'pop-punk princess' vibe which becomes ever more inauthentic with time. I have a soft spot for Goodbye Lullaby, which is for the most part a solid and more reflective effort. The self-titled album is okay in places and utter trash in others. On Head Above Water, she doesn't even sound like herself, putting on a generic voice that I assume was popular at the time... and then there's this new one, which is honestly almost unlistenable. She doesn't need autotune yet the whole thing is drowned in it. The message is insincere and desperate; at 37, she should be way past this phase now. And the features are just dire. Love Sux reminds me a lot of Limp Bizkit's last album, not only in the title (Still Sucks), but also the way both bands have gone all-in on a perceived idea of what their band is 'supposed' to sound like, rather than just... you know... making good music. As a fan of her early work, this LP is embarrassing. 4/10 is generous.

thành thật abum này ko hay như những abum trước của cô ấy, tuy nhiên nó vẫn làm tôi thấy hứng thú và yêu đời hơn. tôi mừng vì cô ấy vẫn khoẻ mạnh để trở lại với âm nhạc sau khi chiến đấu với căn bệnh Lym. Và tôi yêu cách cô ấy làm nhạc, vì chính cô ấy, vì những điều cô ấy trải qua, hoặc đơn giản là điều cô ấy thích, cô ấy sẽ làm. Cô ấy không giả tạo và cố làm hài lòng tất cả, tôi yêu sự thành thật khi nghe những bài hát của cô ấy. Điều quan trọng là Avril tự tin và hạnh phúc vào thời điểm hiện tại.

yes, the songs felt very paint by numbers. Her early work was very soulful and sonically well constructed. The lyrics are bratty and immature, which is a little weird coming from a grown adult woman. I am forever obsessed with her early work, but this album is not it. It's a shame because her voice did sound amazing on Luv Sux. Just the concepts and songs are very commercialized and tacky.

Out of all the John Feldmann-Template albums (California & Nine by Blink, TTMD by MGK, The Knife and Never Look Back by Goldfinger, and Internet Killed the Rockstar by Mod Sun) this one is probably the best. It’s cheesy sure, but it trims all the fat and the hooks are just straight up better. I couldn’t believe I liked it more than all the rest of the sound alikes, but I do lol

Of course you hate the MGK feature 😂😂 you hate everything he does it’s not a surprise

Melon, wtf, your only referents on his pop punk music were her first two albums. Dude, listen to The best damn thing and you'll see some heavy pop punk tracks, way better than Love sux

I was so excited for this album. I was a huge Avril fan during her first two albums (Let Go, and Under My Skin) with Under My Skin being my absolute favorite. I think she does alternative rock amazingly well. Her "pop punk" songs are Ok, but not at the top for me. More recently, I really loved the song "Burn" that she did with Mod Sun. Before Love Sucks was released, Avril said in an interview that this was going to be her most alternative album ever, from front-to-back, so I was like FUCK YEAH! Unfortunately, by "alternative" she meant "pop-punk." I don't hate the album; I think it's fun, and I really like Bite Me and a few other songs, but I'm underwhelmed overall. The lyrics are especially juvenile, which they always sort of have been, but I guess I was expecting them to be a bit deeper now that she's in her 30's. Oh well, at least I can love her style and just be glad that she's doing rock music again, and not whatever she was doing during her last album.

thank you melon for not being too hard on this one I've spent the last few days as a lifelong avril lavigne fan whos been bumping this shit shaking in fear

Is it weird that the forced rhyme seems more genuine to me than the entire album Love Sux? And the album version of Dumb Blond doesn't have Minaj on it. Weird right? That track doesn't really fit with the album at all.
