After three years of waiting, Avril is back, and with a completely new sound! Although this album is much different from the first two, her fans are more excited then ever, and she definitely is keeping her level. Especially with her new bratty, hit single "Girlfriend", which by-the-way she recorded in 8 different languages. Now that's impressive!
And if you think she's gonna stop there, you're wrong, because she recently released her second single, "When You're Gone", which is a ballad, and far more emotional then "Girlfriend".
As most of you probably know, Avril is married to Deryck Whibley (the lead singer of Sum 41), which inspired her to write awesome ballads like the second single, mentioned above, "When You're Gone", and "Innocence". But her husband didn't only inspire ballads, but a fun, and sexy song, called "Hot", which will also be the third single off of this platinum record.
Another ballad on this record is "Keep Holding On", which was written for the movie "Eragon".
Unlike her other two albums, this time, she named a song after the album title. "The Best D*mn Thing" is definitely righteous to it's name, especially with that cool cheerleader vibe to it. Like "Girlfriend" there are a few other bratty songs on the album, which include "Everything Back But You" and "I Can Do Better". Just like on her last record, "Under My Skin", Avril didn't fail to choose the best-of-the-best to work with her on this album, like Dr. Luke, Butch Walker, and even Travis Barker, the drummer from Blink 182. Avril definitely has changed a lot, I cannot say that she has become more mature, but she has changed. She lost a lot of fans with this album, but definitely gained a lot, as well. If you like Pop/Rock, and like dancing around, and goofing off to music, this is the album for you!
