    I personally would rate this my favorite album to ever be released. Every track is unique and Avril's voice still amazes me over 10 years after its release. With over 17 million copies worldwide, this album really has achieved universal acclaim

    Grew up listening to this album and still the best debut album I've listened so far. Old but diamond. Some tracks are clever and funny like “Sk8er Boi” and “My World”. And we have this “I'm with You” which remains the best ballad she've done in her career. A perfect record to listen end to end because this album is timeless.

    Every teenager in 2002 who hated this album just because of the "anti-Britney" **** that the press started to diffuse in the media are just idiots. Music should be rated by quality, not because you don't like someone's attitude. Let Go is an amazing album.

    she's just you kids: she sings about how she's angry, she's sensative and she's a sk8er too.... anti-britney/nsync figure hoping for pop success. worthless.

    Why, do I care, cause this cd is a piece of crap. Come on, canadians are only good for beer and hockey.

    She has a nice voice i must admit and some good lyrics, alot better that those pop freaks. But shes pretend i bet she cant even skate and the fact she is rippin of us die hard skaters who go hard every day is pathetic. and besides she looks like a 14 year old..

    Avril is the most pretentious image in the pop culture since Vanilla Ice. I even have more respect in Britney and Christina, yes, they're as untalented as her but at least, they're not trying to be "avant-garde" as Avril tries to be. She tries to be original but she's actually as shamelessly manufactured as the rest of any pop stars and boy and girl bands you can name of.

For Christ's sake, she doesn't even know who the Ramones and Velvet Underground are! And she calls herself PUNK? Of course, her fans who consider her punk are as CLUELESS as her because, let's admit it, Avril's music is pure commercial POP CRAP! … Expand

    Horrible, calculated tripe. Alanis Morrissette could have written this in her sleep. Avril's image is a carefully constructed fallacy, designed to be "anti-Britney", but just as contrived as anything about Ms. Spears.

    There are a few decent songs so i can't totally bash this album. However, anyone says she is a rock star needs help. Her newer stuff is even worse then this barely tolerable mess, the second album was passed over because of it's moody alternative vibe but it was the better of the 3. I guess she would rather sell out than be true to herself. At least her husband can rock, the new There are a few decent songs so i can't totally bash this album.

    This album may be perceived as Lavigne's best album because of the time it was released. Although, this album falls into the category of which the opening half of the album is drastically better than the closing half. Any song after Mobile is awful which is why I can't understand why the reviewer rating is so high. Maybe this album is not for me.

    16 years later and it's still true. Avril Lavigne is a real poseur. Just because she's not Britney Spears doesn't mean that she is all that. All her music is just disposable trash.

    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]
