    Modern day classic. Nostalgia trip. Takes you back to glorious years. Angst, hanging out at the mall, 00’s culture.

    The lyrics and energy put into this album really shows! You can tell how hard she worked on this. The album is upbeat and fun going. Takes me back through all of my past relationships that definitely sucked! F.U & Love Sux are my top two favorites to this album. 10/10 Best Avril Album yet!

    Best album of the year, Avril bring back the best of Pop Punk and are incredible. The first song "Cannobal" show and invite us to the eletrical album, following to a nostalgic song in "bois lies". Avalanche and Deja Vu remember songs like 2002 and Dare To Love Me is a beautiful ballad.

    Such an amazing album! With well-written lyrics, awesome production and heavenly vocals it is a great pop punk record with a twist of early 2000s sound and modern pop punk sound. Avril really is the Queen of Pop Punk and it shows!

    The true queen of alt-pop-punk is back and showing everyone how it is done! This is her best album since 2007's The Best Damn Thing. It's the perfect slice of late 90s early 00s nostalgia and its great to see Avril back on form. The best tracks are Bois Lie, Bite Me, Love Sux and F.U.

    Avril Lavigne leaving her old title as the MFP of pop/punk as she becomes the MFQueen of Pop/Punk.
    Absolute delight of an album front to back, something that her fans and her wanted to make for years.
    From Bite Me to Avalanche, to Dare to Love Me, this album serves not only nostalgia but her constant evolution as an artist. Something the critics didn't manage to notice, but then again    Avril Lavigne leaving her old title as the MFP of pop/punk as she becomes the MFQueen of Pop/Punk.

    Something the critics didn't manage to notice, but then again they always kinda drop the ball with her discography, maybe it's just easier for them to be positive about what's current and probably American.     … Expand

    "Love Sux" is Avril's best record since "The Best Damn Thing". After several average records since, Love Sux marks a return to her roots with every song harkening back to her staple pop-punk sound. The record also surprisingly has good guest features as well like Mark Hoppus (of blink-182), Machine Gun Kelly, and blackbear. All the accompanying guests really shine next to Avril.

    这张专辑直接封神。 十五年的等待，21世纪流行朋克摇滚女王艾薇儿继三专《The Best Damn Thing》后终于携第七张全新专辑《Love Sux》强势回归流行朋克摇滚主场，整张专辑的伴奏充斥大量绚丽、即兴发挥的电吉他和强节奏鼓点，加上艾薇儿极具力量和青春活力的Vocal，瞬间梦回2007，专辑整体性、流畅度、编曲一流，更有流行说唱新声Blackbear、超人气说唱摇滚男歌手MGK、朋克老炮Blink-182主唱Mark Hoppus、鼓王Travis Barker顶力相助，这张专辑绝对是流朋摇滚界的封神之作。这张专辑直接封神。 十五年的等待，21世纪流行朋克摇滚女王艾薇儿继三专《The Best Damn Thing》后终于携第七张全新专辑《Love Sux》强势回归流行朋克摇滚主场，整张专辑的伴奏充斥大量绚丽、即兴发挥的电吉他和强节奏鼓点，加上艾薇儿极具力量和青春活力的Vocal，瞬间梦回2007，专辑整体性、流畅度、编曲一流，更有流行说唱新声Blackbear、超人气说唱摇滚男歌手MGK、朋克老炮Blink-182主唱Mark Hoppus、鼓王Travis Barker顶力相助，这张专辑绝对是流朋摇滚界的封神之作。

    It's a very complete and upbeat album. It tells how people should quickly recover from negative emotions after a failed relationship. Avril wants people to have the courage to say goodbye to the wrong person and never give them a chance again. It's really cool.

    Composições fracas, produção genérica e colaborações desnecessárias. Assim que eu resumo 'Love Sux', o sétimo álbum de estúdio de Avril Lavigne.

Infelizmente a experiência de ouvir esse novo álbum não é das melhores, já que a cada minuto vamos ficar entediados e enjoados com um rock que não aconchega, nem mesmo nos faz refletir sobre algo interessante. The Best Damn Thing, temos visitas!

    Só conseguimos sentir um ponto alto nesse álbum, e está em 'Dare To Love Me', penúltima faixa. Ali vemos a diferença em vocal e produção (talvez até mesmo em composição).

    Sem mais delongas, 'Love Sux' é um projeto que reflete adolescentes de coração partido que não sabem mais o que fazer, a não ser "xingar o amor" e dizer que odeia a pessoa que não as querem. Algo contraditório para Avril Lavigne, cantora de 37 anos.    … Expand

    Avril Lavigne is away from the "pop star image" and makes harder music. Only is that far away from the style that made you famous.
    Even more hardness and less sweet health in the texts.
    Only then can I take her seriously again with her music.

    This album is not fun, it is not clever, it is same redundant sound full of generic love sux daily diary observations. Avril shows no growth whatsoever and I cant believe this album is seeing good reviews...

    There are two Avrils. By far I prefer the Goodbye Lullaby poppy Avril, not the punky Avril. This is mostly retro punky Avril now also featuring postmodern hip hop accompaniment by artists I strive to avoid.

    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.
