    oh god what a shallow album, oh god what a disapointment! i was never an Avril Lavigne fan but i always follow her work because i literally fell in love with Let Go..now? please Avril, you could've IMAGINED more interesting stories..meaningless songs, sort of like the songs u read in a 13 year old girl's diary...so weak, once this album is over ull be like "so what was i doing? oh god what a shallow album, oh god what a disapointment! i was never an Avril Lavigne fan but i always follow her work because i literally fell in love with Let Go..now? please Avril, you could've IMAGINED more interesting stories..meaningless songs, sort of like the songs u read in a 13 year old girl's diary...so weak, once this album is over ull be like "so what was i doing? oh yeah...cleaning the roofs"...Avril is in the spotlight, she should take that in consideration and do her best to write real songs! and if she cant then she has to face the bad critics… Expand

She called him David Booie, and also, avril is honestly just a little b*tch. she tries to act like she writes her own stuff, but she doesn't.. she does not write her music.. as an artist myself I have absolutely no (silence) this is onea those artists.

    A boring and try-hard production of a talentless singer. I used to like her, till she started thinking she was some super-hardcore punk rocker. Her music is pop and awful. Her voice lacks talent. Half the time, she doesn't sing, she just talks. It's not talent, get over it.

    Tina Turner she ain't! And have you read the lyrics? "She wants to go home / But nobody's home." Bet Carole King is threatened...not.

    A good, if slightly disappointing, follow-up.

    Under My Skin is a bit awkward, sometimes sounding tentative and unsure, sometimes clicking and surging on Avril's attitude and ambition.

    Both more satisfying and more formulaic.
