    A very underrated and diverse album. Is filled with so many different genres. One moment you'll be crying to Give You What You Like and then bopping to Hello Kitty. AMAZING

    Sería un subterfugio decir que Lavigne ha cambiado a lo largo de su trayectoria.
    Dicho álbum homónimo carece de canciones clichés, dejando en visto su versatilidad.

    This homonymus album shows Avril Lavigne, she can do whatever she wants, experiment different kind of sounds but I feel it does not go to an specific point.

    It's not her best but not her worst too, every song has a special sound which makes you almost impossible to get bored. She is better with ballads, both lyrically and musically, up-tempo tracks of this album fail to impress listeners lyrically because they're sometimes too cheesy. Overall, it's a nice album for Avril fans but it may not impress people who barely listen to her.

    Bad Girl with Marilyn Manson is perfect. It makes me happy. Falling Fast is the most beautiful song of the album. Hello Heartache and Give You What You Like are very like it.
    I think the "worse" songs of the album are **** Summer and Sippin On Sunshine and by worse, i mean the "least" cool, that doesn't means they aren't cool at all. The rap of **** Summer is addictive and Sippin On    Bad Girl with Marilyn Manson is perfect. It makes me happy. Falling Fast is the most beautiful song of the album.

    elf-titled is Lavigne's third best albums when it comes to quality (the first two being The Best Damn Thing and Goodbye Lullaby). What hinders this albums is the fact the it has no vision and that it a compilation of random songs. All of the songs are great but not really a match for a body of work

    Any album that lists Chad Kroeger as a co-writer is destined to be among the worst. Even more if you have a song like "Hello Kitty," with its cringeworthy music video.

    Each one of these songs has her unique touch, it's has variety of sounds and that makes it a very good album, since rock to poppy, and poppy to strong ballads, brilliant work!

    Sounds like a case of pure nostalgia, Avril seems to want to make music, to share everything she has with her fans, doesn't seems to be a work produced just to squeeze money out of the world.

    We have so many good times here, ''Rock N Roll'' is completely debauched and is what makes it work so well, also with ''Here 's To Never Growing Up'', who else could sing these two songs without being Avril? 'Summer'' is a flash-back of affairs led by a good vibe and showing what came when delivery to rap. ''Let Me Go'' explores well Lavigne vocals and Chad 's a good personality to the music. ''Give You What You'' Like is perhaps the most curious track, is a huge vulnerability as well, but at the same time, an incredible aggressiveness is, without doubt, one of the best tracks on the album, also featured the vocals. Bad Girl is completely unpretentious and weird, with the robotic vocals that make the treat even greater in this case. Hello Kitty is stupidly fun, other music not imagine anyone behind unless the same ''You Ain't See Nothing See Nothing Yet'' remember old times of their work, it is so easy to digest it and let it flow. ''Sippin 'On Sunshine'' is a great track, very fun to listen to, but the other side is no big deal. ''Hello Heartache'' is strange, in a good sense, his lalalala in the beginning, you do not know what to expect, but over time it marks its place on the album, showing completely new and touching. ''Falling Fast'' is an incredible sensitivity, Avril is crazy with a guitar, and it's no different here, is a show of sweet voice and honesty. ''Hush Hush'' the last track has a great role to play, and she does it without the least effort proving a powerful ballad .    … Expand

    Definitely not the best work of Avril. There are songs that I don't like as much as others, nevertheless, as a whole this album is great. It has songs that will make you happy and songs that will make you feel sad, also funky songs that are just a good laugh, songs that are upbeat. If anything the album has wide variety.

    Many people will consider this album to be Lavigne's worst whether it is down to pathetic conspiracy theories about her passing or the fact that Lavigne has lost her roots of teen punk. However this album shows maturity. Give You What You Like is probably her most underrated single throughout all of her career. As a result this album was probably poorly received due to the poor PR.

    The album can be divided in three parts:

    1°part - songs which achieve the same level as her first albums: Bad Girl, which should have been the lead single, it's a rock song, but different vibe, reminds The Pretty Reckless; Give You What You Like, which has a indie vibe, maybe the best song of the album; Let Me Go, a duet with Chad Kroeger, that really worked; Hush Hush, a power piano    The album can be divided in three parts:

    2° part - songs which are really good, but not as good as the previous mentionated ones: Falling Fast, kinda folk, kinda country; Rock N Roll and Here's To Never Growing Up, which are really catchy songs, but it seems like she wrote the songs just to be a Girlfriend 2.0.

    3° part - the rest of the album, that I confess that I loved, even though it was too pop/teen for me.

    Of course I have to talk about Hello Kitty: I hate that I enjoyed it.    … Expand

    Avril Lavigne's latest album disappoint. I'm not familiar with her previous work, because only interested in this. We all know that now the singer is on therapy, so personally I expect her very sincere and pure album!

    It’s not going to be a new favorite album for anyone other than Avril Lavigne’s most ardent admirers, but a handful of great summer mixtape songs and a few other exercises in mindless pop fun are still enough to make Avril Lavigne the eponymous singer’s best record in nine years. That might not be saying much, but it's a step in the right direction.

    The most listenable song is the Chavril duet Let Me Go, which has zero of either musician’s “edge” and a whole lot of adult contemporary schmaltz.
