    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.

    I am Avril Fan. Let Go is more like a pop album when she is infact a Rock Star. (People may disagree but it's true) For Pop loving people it would be awsome but for me, she could use a little more rock. However her voice and lyrics have forced me to give it 9.

Avril's songs are songs that u can relate to, she really reaches out to the gurls that get judged before you kno them. which all the stupid preppy people do cuz u dun wear what they wear or do what they do like zombies.

    it's a good album, however she is far less punk then she claims to be. Her pop side is far more showy than any other sound particularly punk. She has a good voice and maybe even a few good lyrics, but anyone who considers her punk is obviously a poser.

    The then tomboy Avril Lavigne made her stunning debut with hits like "Complicated," "I'm With You," and "Sk8er Boi" which were exceptional. Did I mention she was on'y 17? She also has credits on every song in her career, unlike many teen stars such as Miley Cyrus and One Direction.

The surprisingly mature teenage singer that can be down-to-earthly ordinary and out-of-this-wordly extraordinary at the same time.

However, during those years, I wasn't that big of a fan of hers and only the release of her next album, Under My Skin, made me be obsessed with her. As time went by, I found this album less and less genuine when it comes to Avril's contribution, and I was never a big fan of the "skater" look.

    I give it a 7 because it's a really good album, but looks too manufactured at times (as her image at the time) so I didn't think it deserved a 8. Still a classic album that I listen and enjoy to from time to time

    One of the most iconic albums of the 2000s. Lavigne on this album features a bunch of good-old boppy songs that lots of teenagers would love. I feel that Lavigne should've not "let go" of the 2004 hit "Breakaway" originally written by herself. Also the B-sides "Why", "I Don't Give", and "Get Over It" should've at least been added to Deluxe editions, maybe they're personal songs? Overall,One of the most iconic albums of the 2000s.

    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.

    However, many tracks on "Let Go" are musically and lyrically not highly complex or demanding. Sometimes little artistic
    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.

    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"

  1. 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]
