Free Music Review: The Album that Made Fans Do a Double-Take
Hit: 5 Stars
Avril Lavigne's third album is rather different than her previous two. In general, this album is more raucous, energetic, cocky, and has a bit of a modern pop/punk sound to it. In a word, this album is catchy. It contains her infamously popular song "Girlfriend," which also has it's own single, music video, and has spawned versions of the song that are in languages other than English. Also, she swears more in this album. Be warned.
Fans of her first two albums may not like this one as much, since it is so different. Songs like "The Best Damn Thing" and "I Don't Have to Try" may turn some listeners off. The latter even caused someone near me listening to say, "little Avril has lost her mind." Some may be inclined to agree, but most attribute this change in attitude to her marriage. Since she was in "wedded bliss" (as some put it), she was much more playful. I'm not quite sure how seriously some of this album should be taken, but I think it's less serious than her first two albums. In short, Let Go and Under My Skin were more serious, and The Best Damn Thing is more fun (she at least seemed to have a blast making it).
If the song "Girlfriend" annoyed you as much as it did me at first, try not to let it put you off too much. Other songs on the album, such as "When You're Gone," "Innocence," and the epic-sounding "Keep Holding On" should redeem some issues you may have with the album. My advice: give the album (or at least some of the songs) a listen. Some of my favorite songs of hers were the ones I never heard on the radio. If you like what you hear upon sampling it, buy the album. If you don't like it, don't buy it. It's not complicated.
Personally, I'd recommend the explicit version. If she didn't want strong language in her music, then she wouldn't have put it in. However, if you are opposed to such vulgarity, you can simply buy a censored version. But with this, you get a DVD, the content of which should provide some insight into the process she went through to make this album.
