    I really liked it! It feels like she turned Everything back but you into an album and I couldn't have asked for anything better. She said she wanted ''raw and live'' guitar and drums and that's what she delivered, she knows the genre and it shows.
    I've to say some lyrics aren't clicking, but it's a fast and fun album so it's no big deal.

    Absolute banger. Avril Lavigne is back to get that crown rightfully hers as the undisputed Pop-Punk Queen. You will feel all kinds of emotions in this album. It's cohesive, yet a wild rollercoaster ride. Album of the Year.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Love Sux album is the older sister of The Best Damn Thing. Alternative from head to toe. Cannonball, an incredible starter track, exploding early energy and excitement to be used and embraced onto the next tracks. A BANGER indeed and soon to be MASTERPIECE Expand

    The most consistent Avril Lavigne album since The Best Damn Thing. Love Sux is what Avril knows how to do best when she has a supportive recording label: pop-punk, but make it 2022 pop-punk.

    Sonidos despreocupados y pegadizos, un álbum con influencia de los 2000's que suena tan frescos como cuando el punk pop estaba en su auge. Un álbum que completamente se hizo para divertir al escucha.

    This is perfect!!! Welcome back to business, Avril

    The album brought back what we needed from Avril. Real band, rock anthem and attitude. It is different from her first 3 albums, but the essence is the same, that we love. Attitude, aggressive songs.

    A just think that the album is short, definitely needs a deluxe version!

    It’s the best album since “the best damn thing”. Pure pop punk from front to back. She still rocks after all. Pop punk queen. Best songs: avalanche, love sux, bite me, cannonball and F.U.

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

    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

    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

    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.
