Avril Lavigne

Let Go

shows she has a career ahead

Review Score:

(8/10)
I'm basing my opinion of each song solely on her talent and how it sounds to me. I honestly do not like Avril as a person at all, but this review is not on her, and I tried to make it as honest as I could be.

Losing Grip- I think this is one of the best songs on this album, it's the most rockish song she has, but I just love the tune and the range she shows, it would be a great single.
Complicated- how can anyone know avril without know this signature song. If you really listen to it, its actually quite depressing, but of course catchy whether people want to admit it or not. Theres just something about this song that is so addicting. I cant say that I loved the music video, its more the song that I just can't stay away from, nor can radio stations.
Sk8er Boi-I don't care what anyone says, but this song is cheesy like crazy and does not work for me. Just the spelling of this song should give people an indication of what is gonna be like. The first few words are "he was a boy, she was a girl"...I do not like this song and despised the music video. I guess it has a catchy tune, that worked for many people, just not me
I'm with you- I really liked this song. After I heard it, I thought to myself she should use this a single, which she did and even made a music video, which I think brought her in a great direction. This slow song really shows off her range and has a great tune. I cant put my finger on it, but it reminds me of some classic song, possibly by Mariah Carey...maybe I'm just making it up...
Mobile- I'm ambivalent about this song. Overall I don't think I really liked it. Its very folksy and country like. The lyrics for me are...eh...I cant say much about this other than that you can really tell shes Canadian when she says Mobile (not that there's anything wrong with that, just making a point...)
Unwanted- this seems like a bad version of Loosing Grip, its not "god awful", it just forgettable, like nothing special. Honestly I had to go back and listen to this song cause I forgot all about it. Not one of the best on the Album
Tomorrow- this is the kind of song that grows on you, really fast. Its slow and doesn't start out great, but the tune become a lot better as the song goes on. We'll probably be hearing this song in TV shows, cause its just that kind of song. I've already heard it on smallsville
Anything But Ordinary- I think this a better version of Mobile, its again folksy, but she goes a step further with showing her range, and this song is just better over all in tune, lyrics and sound. Great song!
Things I'll never say- right after I say the previous song is a better version of Mobile, I find this song to be an inferior version of Mobile. Its folksy one again, but somewhat plain.
My World- She somewhat makes this song a mix of pop and country, it think this song is ok, can't say much more
Nobody's fool-I'm sorry, but this song is awful, really really really awful, the worst on the CD. Avril should never ever rap. I like her singing, but when she raps its just like...why? She has a great voice, why turn it into talking. This song sounds like a 7 yr old boy rapping. She sings at some parts, but I just hate this song.
Too much to ask- I love this song, but again reminds me of some other song...just cant remember what it is. But ya, its slow poppy song and addicting.
Naked- I don't care for this song, but I don't hate it. They lyrics are pretty emotional, its just not one of her most dynamic songs. For me its too boring. Its more for people who want a conservative and sweet song to listen to.

So overall I think this album is better than an average album, in fact it was a great start for Avril. Most of the songs are one that will make you addict. I could tell from an early start that there would be a lot of single hits. Many of the songs had a folksy tune to them, and most of then I didn't care for other than anything but ordinary, which is probably the best of that category. Avril no doubt has talent, its just her that I dislike, where she tries too hard to be different and "punk" which is why I really dislike Sk8er Boi. The title just makes me cringe. But back to the album, if you can stand to not watch her interviews, her music is pretty good. I give this album a 4 instead of 5 just because of sk8er Boi and her AWFUL rapping.
