    This album is just so good and contains plenty of addictive tracks. Songs doesn't always have to be deep or experimental to be called 'great'. I really appreciate how Avril sings her songs, like in this album. She effectively sings with angst and vulnerability, especially in tracks such as Complicated, Losing Grip and I'm with You. She's just amazingg and distinct from her contemporaries!

    After almost 20 years, Avril Lavigne's debut "Let Go" is still cheeky, loud and rebellious with a young Avril and ubiquitous bold guitar riffs. Especially "Complicated" and "Sk8ter Boi" have stuck to this day and are amongst the greatest classics ever pressed on CD.

Especially "Complicated" and "Sk8ter Boi" have stuck to this day and are amongst the greatest classics ever pressed on CD.

    However, many tracks on "Let Go" are musically and lyrically not highly complex or demanding. Sometimes little artistic remains and it ends up in teenage racket. But even though Avril has often been compared to P!nk or Alanis Morissette and called "anti-Britney", she goes her own way on this record.

    My favorites:
    "Complicated"
    "Sk8er Boi"
    "I'm with You"

    I love this album, honestly it's the best album have listened not only from pop rock, but in music in general. I can't say that I don't like any song to this album, all songs have a wonderful lyrics, Avril have a beatiful voice and all songs have a greatest rhytm, its production it's not the best, but to be her first album it's incredible. A letter love to music, 20/10 and God

    The Canadian rocker looks like a (prettier) member of Sum 41, sounds like a slightly less-pissed Alanis Morissette and has the streetwise 'tude of Pink.

    Lavigne displays a musical guile way beyond her years. [Sep 2002, p.109]

    Lavigne splices the angst of Alanis Morissette and the snarl of Courtney Love into a debut full of sunny guitar pop. [#8, p.115]
