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.
-

Feb 4, 2022I like some tracks from this album such as "When i'm Gone" and "Girlfriend" but I miss the old vibes she had on her first two albums.. still a good album overall
-
Jul 31, 2021A Queen with an attitude, big d energy
-
Jun 30, 2021“Girlfriend” is a classic and was a massive worldwide hit, the album was great and a success for 2007 she owned.
-
Dec 15, 2020This is a masterpiece from Avril. Amazing songs and lyrics. I'm in love with these songs.
-
Nov 5, 2020I'll never understand why people denigrate this album. Yeah maybe it's not her best, but GOD this album's fun!
-
Aug 28, 2020Deserves all the hype. Girlfriend is a smash hit and still a bop over a decade later.
-
Jul 24, 2020This is one of the best albums I've ever listened to. The lyrics are soo good. I love this.
-
Jul 24, 2020She really ended men in this album. Girlfriend is a smash hit. I love it. Legendary.

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.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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. -

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
-
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

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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
-
Apr 25, 2014I think this may be her worst album. Crap. "Girlfriend" was the big hit from the cd, and honestly that song is just irritating and annoying. This is not the style she set out for in the first place. Disappointment.
-

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.

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. -
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.
-
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.

-
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.
-
Aug 5, 2011An average album created for average music fans that satisfies your ears with some beautiful and catchy songwriting for a small percentage of the time, but remove these efforts and you have nothing more than a bad teenage album from an artist who just needs to, at times, grow up. The potential is present, but potential feels somewhat lazy by album number three.
-
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.
-

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!!
-

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

Nov 29, 2010Amazing! This is THE pop-punk album. I totally love it. This album rocks my body. Now i know why i came to this world. To be her fan. If you don't like it, **** you!
-
Oct 27, 2010I love this album. It truly lives up to its name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best songs are Innocence, When your Gone, Hot and Keep Holding on -
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.
-
CurdsyFeb 15, 2008This album is so HOT! I'm loving every single song!!!!!
-
-
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.
-

KyleJan 1, 2008Heard the album cover to cover 3x in a row while waiting to get my hair cut... it was so annoying it got to the point I couldn't tell when one song was starting another was ending. Wretched album--
-
-
NormanG.Oct 26, 2007Its not her best album but it has some prety cool songs such as runaway and innocence but still theres other songs such as contagious and the best damn thing which sound like cheerleaders songs.
-
-
AndrewW.Oct 11, 2007This is a phenomenal album! Every single song has hooks and the lead single, Girlfriend, is mindblowing!
-
-
RobbP.Oct 10, 2007fantastic maturity in lead and backup vocals throughout the album. A little "cheerleady" on a couple tracks. Great guitar riffs throughout. Overall, something to enjoy on every track.
-
-
draked.Aug 11, 2007of course, the hooks pull you in easily, and have you singing along in about the first time you hear the album... i honestly do not like alot of pop but this is my favorite cd in my collection.
-
-
emmahAug 9, 2007wicked album i'd say her best yet. love track 7. not too keen on girlfriend now, got a bit annoying.

alexfJul 25, 2007This album was way worse than her other albums. it is so pointless and has nothing creative about it.

whateverJul 17, 2007Avril is just "Pop" And so is her music, especially this record. That's why music is dying. Plain Simple.

henryg.Jul 11, 2007It's good. Fun, poppy laughs. All the tracks are good, and are only let down by some bad rap style parts, but that's it. I still prefer Under My Skin though.
-
-
DrewN.Jul 7, 2007One word Fun STOP COMPARING IT TO UNDER MY SKIN THEN MAYBE YOU'LL LIKE IT
-
-
joanney.Jul 6, 2007Disgusting, how whiny voice drives me crazy and these songs, especially Girlfriend are ripoffs, that's why she's being sued for stealing songs.

AllyS.Jul 4, 2007It's great! I love Avril!

TiagoR.Jul 4, 2007This is the one!

GaborA.Jun 29, 2007Sheer garbage. And it sends the wrong message to girls young/stupid enough to listen to this in the first place.

nickc.Jun 7, 2007Are you fucking serious? Hahahaha! BUNK. Uber-produced girl pop-plastic candy.

NatashaG.Jun 7, 2007i like this album.......i don't really like all the songs on it....but it was cool.......my favorite (of course) is the song.....Girlfriend.......
-

Blackr.Jun 6, 2007Its THE best greatest thing ever!!!!!!! Those who don't like it, fuck off asses!

-
EvaJun 4, 2007nothing is exciting about this album anymore, the songs basically sound all the same... her emotional songs which i liked so much in her previous albums have become dull. very disappointing

BrunoTJun 1, 2007her best album so far and its is appealing to a wider audience than the previous one. Excellent music.
-
-
KateB.Jun 1, 2007Oh dear oh dear. Never bought this, Thank God, but my friends insist on playing it over and over and over. When I saw the video for Girlfriend I thought: is she taking the piss? I soon realised she wasn't and that her lyrics are really that bad. And where did the punk "I hate blondes" image go? Down the pan along with my sanity I'd imagine. Sell out.
-
-
CraigOJun 1, 2007Well, I guess someone has to fill the void of "20-something pop-hussy pretending to be 16 to sell records" artists now that Britney's complete white trash and Christina can't seem to get out of a pre-Cold War era montage... I don't expect much from Avril, but vampant, whiney trash is below even her.
-
-
nipuns.May 20, 2007i was very dissapointed .......earlier avril seemed to define her music as her own by stating her views and being rebel like, she has done the exact opposite this time and she sounds like gwen stefani or pink.
-
-
ArnoldH.May 18, 2007Her album rocks! Every single song is so great!

vineettMay 14, 2007This is her best album so far, I love her "Girlfriend" song....she rocks!!!

mikes.May 8, 2007An excellent album and by far avril lavigne's best yet. She has matured as a pop artist and has grown out of her teenage angst driven phase. Now older and married she seems focus on just having fun and cares more about entertaining an audience than her previous self centered efforts. One of the year's best pop albums, period.
-
-
NikiMay 6, 2007This albus was SO disappointing....and that's an understatement...she's totally detached herself from the kind of image she created with her first two albums.I was a die hard fan until this catastrophe.....i swear the music gave me a headache...

HamoodsnakeMay 6, 2007i really love most of the songs are great accept for maybe 2 or 3 buy it

cjmMay 2, 2007i listen to quite an odd collection of music, but this happened to snap me out of my death metal phase...which i had been in for a few months...i'll give it an 8 for the catchy beats and fun songs, but there are some songs that have no place on this album...

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.
