AshleyM.Jan 16, 2008I love this album!!! It shows that she can really sing. She is a happy person being herself and grown up. She wanted to release a fun album so people could dance to and enjoy it. My top 5 favorite songs are: Girlfriend, I can do better, when you're gone, hot, & I don't have to try.

Oct 26, 2010I can't really say this was a bad album cause her "old stuff" was better. But it is good in its respective field. Which would be teeny bopper bumblegum pop, with a little punk to it.

Dec 5, 2016Songs, such as 'Girlfriend', 'Keep Holding On', 'Innocence', 'Hot', 'Runaway' and 'When You're Gone' save it from being a basic teen-rock album. The others, however fun they be, do have a certain cheapness to them. Half of the album is brilliant pop-rock, the other half is kind of awful.

Feb 21, 2011This is the one step that she's evolution but not suit for her old fanbase. This album is more pop and funny. she do its great but not great for old fans

Mar 6, 2011Another great hit from Avril, but it contains too many foul words, i would prefer the clean version, Girlfriend and When You're Gone is the 2 best track from this album!! Over all is a gd album!!
-
Jul 23, 2011The Best Damn Thing is the best punk album ever hear.Girlfriend it's the hit single with When Ur Gone and Hot.Another cool song:Runaway,I Can Do Better,I Don't Heve To Try,One Of Those Girls.Every song are special.
-
Nov 1, 2011I always wonder why fans hate this album so much, in my opinion he is simple a pink resumption of his first album and consequently so amazing as the first.

Feb 27, 20169/10 - "True, this is far from deep but Under the Skin proved that a deep Avril is a dull Avril. The Best Damn Thing, in contrast, builds on every one of her bratty strengths which makes for ridiculously catchy pop - the kind of music that provides a soundtrack for teens and guilty pleasures for everyone else" - AllMusic

Feb 16, 2013With a great energy, unpretentious lyrics, catchy choruses and a beautiful blonde half a meter, 'The Best Damn Thing' is an inexhaustible well of fun.
-
Mar 24, 2013I don't think anybody saw it coming when Avril changed her appearance from a tomboy to a badass woman who showed she could take anyone down that got in her way. Most of the tracks on this record were very good, "Girlfriend," "Runaway, "The Best Damn Thing," and "Everything Back but You" being stand out songs.
-
Oct 29, 2013Definitely the best album of 2007
Avril is very aggressive and tough in this album, with great instrumentals and great productions
I miss this Avril closed for love, but it's always good to change the lyrical themes. -

Sep 8, 2016Completamente bem produzido. Baladas tocantes e musicas chicletes
Melhores: I will be, Girlfriend, Innocence, When You're Gone, I do't have to try, TBDT e Hot. -

Aug 23, 2014Even though Avril proves she has made a rollercoaster of her own image with a glittery, cheerleader-y, girly album that contradicted her past concept, she's still earned the ultimate punkette crown.
-
Jan 25, 2014A major disappointment. I really loved her first two albums, and I really like how she matured so much from Let Go to Under My Skin. I don't even know what happened her. Aside from a few good songs like "When You're Gone", "Innocence" and "Keep Holdin' On", this is like a major step back from an artist who just started to grow up.

Sep 6, 2014The Best Damn Thing é um álbum de Avril que marcou a sua vida, e a de seus fãs. Com o primeiro single, Girlfriend, perdeu muitos fãs e ganhou muitos outros, porque a música é pop/rock e mostra uma Avril "patricinha", e era muito diferente do que ela costumava fazer. Com certeza não é o seu melhor álbum, mas mesmo assim é escutável.
-
Jan 12, 2015Apenas de ser um álbum popular com Girlfriend, When You're Gone e Hot, as outras músicas são tudo rock genérico e que chegam a dar dor de cabeça na gente, mas tirando isso é bom.
-
Jan 30, 2015Half of the album is some of the finest rock-pop you'll hear. 'Runaway', 'Hot' and 'Innocence' are prime examples of when the albums is at its finest. The other half of the album however, is silly, immature and very lazy filler.

Apr 22, 2016Really nice album with good beats and vocals. The best pop/rock album of the year! and think this record it's awesome and a powerful expression of a great singer
-
Jun 5, 2017This is Avril Lavigne at her best. This album produced her most influential track, Girlfriend, as well as other great songs. This album is fun, pop and empowering. This album is a great improvement from the disappointing Under My Skin.

Jul 10, 2018The great controversy of the poppy Avril Lavigne in 2007. Even with her genre change, she managed to create a really great pop album. Catchy, fun, provocative, active but also with her sensitive side of a pink poppy girl, that's how I can define this album!
-
Feb 15, 2019I like Girlfriend Remix with Lil Mama better than the original. Hot and The Best Damn Thing are so cool! Innocence, When You're Gone and Keep Holding On makes me cry sometimes. Avril Lavigne only has perfect albums.
-
Nov 5, 2020I'll never understand why people denigrate this album. Yeah maybe it's not her best, but GOD this album's fun!

Feb 21, 2023It means the teenager days of that cute year called 2007. It’s easy to dream along Avril and all her cool vibe when you listen to her masterpieces.
Awards & Rankings
-
The dumb, girly, giddy Best Damn Thing reembraces the 15-year-old pom-pom punkette within, with multitracked hand claps, Toni Basil-gone-bad cheers, and pep-rally-rattling guitars.
-
The Best Damn Thing is a big step back for an artist who was just starting to grow up.
-
It's a consciously lightweight pop-punk romp that appears to have been inspired by "Since U Been Gone," Kelly Clarkson's massive hit.
