Inside Of Love
Watching terrible tv, it kills all thought Getting spacier than, an astronaut Making out with people, I hardly know or like I can't believe what I... See the rest of the song lyrics

    Lavigne splices the angst of Alanis Morissette and the snarl of Courtney Love into a debut full of sunny guitar pop. [#8, p.115]

    Unlike any of the pop princesses that have gone before her, however, Lavigne offers a sound far more guitar-heavy, and lyrics packed with unshakable attitude.
  3. Stylus Magazine

    Avril is not some brilliant songwriter, and her voice is good, but not amazing, and her ‘tude is a little ridiculous at times. Despite this, she is the most refreshing and exciting girl in pop rock today.
  4. Entertainment Weekly

    Lavigne's monochromatic debut set of unimaginative guitar rock is saved only by the earnestness of her songs.

    Lavigne displays a musical guile way beyond her years. [Sep 2002, p.109]

    The problem is Lavigne is still so young she's listening to the radio hits of the '90s and early 2000s: she's Pink when she's bucking authority, Alanis Morissette when she's angry, and Jewel when she's sensitive.

    Most of it is pretty middle-of-the-road female singer-songwriter tripe.

    Um clássico, um dos melhores discos femininos desse século e o melhor do Pop Rock. As letras são muito bem feitas e músicas bem executadas, euUm clássico, um dos melhores discos femininos desse século e o melhor do Pop Rock. As letras são muito bem feitas e músicas bem executadas, eu penso nesse álbum como uma espécie de diário adolescente da Lavigne, As músicas memóraveis e marcaram a geração, sendo recordada sempre. Sem contar que Avril basicamente criou um estilo de moda que se popularizou bem rápido, além de abrir portas e inspirar outros artistas do genêro como Hayley Willians, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Kesha, Kelly Clarkson e etc... Desse álbum destaque para Complicated e I'm With You, dois Pop Perfection, o hit Sk8r Boi e músicas com pegada mais Rock como Unwanted, Mobile e Losing Grip.… Expand
