    The best Avrils abum since The Best Than Thing. She brinca some rock vibes, like My Chemichal Romance and Paramore.

Avril trouxe a sua essência de volta nesse álbum e realmente ela entrou o que tinha prometido. Lavigne é autêntica, letras e som sicronizado em plena harmonia e batidas punk, pop e rock. Com certeza esse algum merece um indicação ao Grammy 2023 Expand

    This album gave the fans EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANTED.

    Screaming,a lot of sass,slow sad songs,energy starting the album and finishing it,a little bit of anger in Déjà Vu and finally PUNK ROCK.

    Lyrically the album is not bad and fits its theme,
    gave fans EVERYTHING they asked for.

    Um dos melhores álbuns da Avril em anos. O que o respeito a liberdade criativa de um artista não faz?!
    Avril prometeu, e entregou muito.

    O álbum é incrível, é uma volta da Avril para suas raízes sem ser uma coisa datada, um dos melhores álbuns dela, ficando atrás apenas do Let Go e Under my skin

    Um dos melhores álbuns. Avril fez um ótimo trabalho. Todas as músicas produzidas por John Feldmann que eu já escutei são ótimas e ele fez um ótimo trabalho na produção de Love Sux. A gravadora creio que ajudou muito incentivando Avril a seguir seu coração e não o que achavam que iria ser "hit". Estou muito animada e feliz por mais um álbum icônico da rainha do pop rock.

    It's actually a total renewal if you take into account all of her albums; it's a really powerful album, the upbeat, but also with a message of overcoming everything that ever put you through a rough time and end off that chapter. It's nostalgic of course, but it's also refreshing and kept in tune with the current tendency concerned about the pop-punk comeback.

So, listening to this album, I felt the nostalgia of hearing and witnessing the emotion of the first 3 albums: Let Go, Under My Skin and The Best Deamn Thing, the fusion of the three together, making something incredible and magnificent, I always loved their songs, but this specific album is something incredible worthy of applause!

    O albume está fantastico, realmente voltamos a era TDDT, um pouco de Let Go e muita influencias do Blink 182, The Veronicas, Paramore, achei muito consistente.

    It's not an album that takes you back in time and makes you think you're in a teen movie from the 00's, it's energetic, lively, modern, with sharp instrumentals, which delivers the singer's version in powerful and well-used vocals. The voice is a little thin in the mix, I believe it will be even better live. Avril delivered what she promised.

    I felt in the 2000's while listening to it, i felt like im 15 years old again. The album is very energetic, i wanna scream the lyrics of every song. The pop punk queen is back guys!

    Tough production. Hard riffs. The album is a new style of pop-punk, and has the soul of pure pop-punk like in the 90s & early to mid-2000s. Avril's voice has evolved. I can line it up along with Let Go - UMS - TBDT. Travis Barker playing on the drums giving you an energetic feeling that serves your album experience in a superior way.

    No, it's not deep or profound, and at times it's hard to believe that this is all coming from the mind of a 37-year-old woman. But to nostalgic fans such as myself, this is easily her best album since The Best Damn Thing and I absolutely LOVE IT. Expect teenage fun and you will not be disappointed. Cannot wait for the next one!

    É um bom álbum sim, não é melhor que os 3 primeiros e muito menos que seu antecessor, mas Avril vocalmente volta impecável.
    Neste álbum temos a volta do Pop-punk que tornou a Avril tão conhecida e prestigiada, porém as faixas são muito superficiais e extremamente curtas em relação ao que nós nos acostumamos a ver da AL.

    Bite Me : This looks, sounds, and feels like an early 2000's Avril song and I wanna cry because it's so amazing.
    Love It When You Hate Me : This era has been iconic so far and you can feel the warm energy she has right now, enjoying herself and it’s so refreshing to see. This song and music video is nostalgic. Love it!

    Even if Lavigne intended to make something short and silly, it speaks to a larger mainstream conversation of the supposed limits surrounding women’s ability to remain interesting in pop culture. Love might indeed suck, but we know that Avril is capable of so much more.

    The uncharitable take would be that a 37-year-old still writing lyrics in txt spk is quite cringe, but the truth is that Love Sux – three-minute banger after three-minute banger, complete with classic Lavigne “woah-oh-ohs” – is exuberant enough to have you slipping on a pair of Vans and partying like it’s 2002.

    Across the board, Lavigne sounds like she’s having good, real fun for the first time in ages. If the album is following a major pop-punk trend in pop music, it also serves as a reminder that Lavigne helped shape so much of that sound in the first place.
