Apr 25, 2014I think this may be her worst album. Crap. "Girlfriend" was the big hit from the cd, and honestly that song is just irritating and annoying. This is not the style she set out for in the first place. Disappointment.

KyleJan 1, 2008Heard the album cover to cover 3x in a row while waiting to get my hair cut... it was so annoying it got to the point I couldn't tell when one song was starting another was ending. Wretched album--

alexfJul 25, 2007This album was way worse than her other albums. it is so pointless and has nothing creative about it.

whateverJul 17, 2007Avril is just "Pop" And so is her music, especially this record. That's why music is dying. Plain Simple.

joanney.Jul 6, 2007Disgusting, how whiny voice drives me crazy and these songs, especially Girlfriend are ripoffs, that's why she's being sued for stealing songs.

GaborA.Jun 29, 2007Sheer garbage. And it sends the wrong message to girls young/stupid enough to listen to this in the first place.

EvaJun 4, 2007nothing is exciting about this album anymore, the songs basically sound all the same... her emotional songs which i liked so much in her previous albums have become dull. very disappointing

KateB.Jun 1, 2007Oh dear oh dear. Never bought this, Thank God, but my friends insist on playing it over and over and over. When I saw the video for Girlfriend I thought: is she taking the piss? I soon realised she wasn't and that her lyrics are really that bad. And where did the punk "I hate blondes" image go? Down the pan along with my sanity I'd imagine. Sell out.

CraigOJun 1, 2007Well, I guess someone has to fill the void of "20-something pop-hussy pretending to be 16 to sell records" artists now that Britney's complete white trash and Christina can't seem to get out of a pre-Cold War era montage... I don't expect much from Avril, but vampant, whiney trash is below even her.

nipuns.May 20, 2007i was very dissapointed .......earlier avril seemed to define her music as her own by stating her views and being rebel like, she has done the exact opposite this time and she sounds like gwen stefani or pink.

NikiMay 6, 2007This albus was SO disappointing....and that's an understatement...she's totally detached herself from the kind of image she created with her first two albums.I was a die hard fan until this catastrophe.....i swear the music gave me a headache...

DianeNApr 24, 2007Junk.... she's turned into a Britney spears wannabe singing punk rock. And the swearing isn't appreciated... I won't be buying it!

heatherApr 22, 2007Her first two albums were okay but this one is just an insult to teen's intelect! The lyrics are repetitive, meaningless and disposable. She loves to rhyme the words with itselves, I hope she disappear of the musical scene soon. She better make a good album next time or she'll be done in the business...

AlexandraKApr 21, 2007This bratty liitle girl is so full of herself. The lyrics are awful, the mellody seems to be made for 8-year-old kids and not grown-ups. If she thinks she is "the best damn thing" she needs to prove with talent first.

CarsonWApr 19, 2007The score is reflective of the album and what she is as a person. A Zero.

ToddWApr 19, 2007Hey, if All Music thinks it's better than Bowie's "Young Americans," who am I to argue? What a joke, to say nothing of the statement this makes about the sad state of affairs in the Sewerstream.

MaxDApr 17, 2007POSER this alum sucks, if you like it you obviously have no taste and deserve to listen to this utter CRAP!

CraigBApr 17, 2007Avril has always been a guilty pleasure for me. This album however is mostly a really bad tribute to a combination of Gwen Stefani & Punk Pop. I'm quite disappointed.

JoseMApr 17, 2007Why can't this girl go away? Her first single is her worst yet...

The dumb, girly, giddy Best Damn Thing reembraces the 15-year-old pom-pom punkette within, with multitracked hand claps, Toni Basil-gone-bad cheers, and pep-rally-rattling guitars.
-
The Best Damn Thing is a big step back for an artist who was just starting to grow up.
-
It's a consciously lightweight pop-punk romp that appears to have been inspired by "Since U Been Gone," Kelly Clarkson's massive hit.
