    In Love Sux, Avril’s 7th studio album, the canadian singer makes a throwback to the pop punk genre, reminiscent from her first albums. It is a great record, but some things like the short duration of the songs bothers me a little bit. I really liked “Bite Me” and “Love it When You Hate Me” as singles, they surely are highlights of the album.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brilhante e autêntico, simplesmente está sendo o melhor. 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

    Everything you could expect from Avril Lavigne, a fun energetic pop punk album with pop punk features. Very cohesive but a little bit short.

    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.

    The punk princess is finally back, this album is a really good comeback. I love a lot of songs, my favourite is Déja vu. Also Cannonball is a perfect opening track for this album.

    Lyrics are terrible and so rushed, but it sounds too catchy and good. Love Sux can be a bit similar to one another at times and a little too short for 12 songs, but it certainly is a return-to-form of some sorts for the "Compilated" singer.

    I’m sure this album is supposed to be a fun album and is a chance for Avril to relive her youth but her first three albums aren’t even pop punk as much as we remember. The only real pop punk songs she has is sk8er boi and girlfriend and the rest are soft rock ballads. I think the label of avril ‘reliving her roots’ is just a chance of hoping on the tiktok pop punk craze to get a trend

    Is punk and rock back in fashion? why not enhance it with an album written and produced by one of the pioneers of the genre, who revolutionized it and brought it closer to young women and men since the 2000s? Fresh and beating Avril Lavigne

    I'm glad she's back on her roots. The old punkish rock type of genre. I'm just kinda bit off with few tracks especially the initial track. I think it didn't set the mood of the album and that is one of my least favorite track. Avalanche is the best track of the album.

    There’s a reason she’s the princess of pop punk and this record is proof that she still remains so. Very nostalgic vibe and Avril sticks to her roots and excels as usual.

    I love that Avril is back in her element. Bite Me is pretty good and I’m obsessed with the black and red aesthetic. But, I wouldn’t rank this album as her best. It’s probably above Let Go but below everything else for sure. This album reminds me of music younger artists today make as inspiration of Avril’s most iconic work…

    I wish I liked this more, considering Avril Lavigne is a strong guilty pleasure of mine. I was hoping her music would be different from fellow pop-punk stars of the modern era like Blackbear and Machine Gun Kelly and actually be listenable, but it barely is. After a horrible opener and two horrific features, Avril gives us basic Let Go scrapped tracks for 40 minutes.

After a horrible opener and two horrific features, Avril gives us basic Let Go scrapped tracks for 40 minutes. There are some decent songs, sure, after all, I am giving it a 5. After my high expectations and love for the lead single "Bite Me", I am sad. I am all for a pop-punk, emo-type revival in music, so long as the musicians are executing it well and making great music. The only modern one I listen to is Willow, which even after that horrendous "Emo Girl" song, she seems to be faltering. I hope Avril can re-evaluate and show more growth for her next LP. I seem to be alone in my opinions, considering this is the highest user score of the year thus far, I guess people love mediocrity.… Expand

    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.
