So....

Avril Lavigne released her fourth studio album sometime last week. According to Lavigne, the album was actually complete for a year, but her record label wouldn't release it because they didn't like the kind of music she made for the record.

Now, this isn't the first time RCA has turned a bitch switch on when artists on their label try to take artistic control of their work. Kelly Clarkson had the same problem when it came to releasing "My December". And although the album debuted better than her multi-platinum, Grammy winning previous effort, Breakaway... the label quickly removed all support for the record and it slipped off the charts and only went platinum once.

So I wasn't really surprised when Avril's album was delayed. Now, I used to love this chick with her debut album, Let Go. It's still one of my favorite albums ever. I like it more than Under My Skin and The Best Damn Thing. I didn't really enjoy Under My Skin and The Best Damn Thing like I did Let Go. I just liked a few songs from UMS and TBDT but loved everything on Let Go.

But I got curious on what Avril had recorded for this album, which her label didn't like. So, I bought the album.

And damn, I love it! I think Avril's made the right move here. She almost completely got rid of the punk-rock image she had presented to us earlier and has stuck to more laid back, easily listening songs on the albums. In fact, in my opinion, What the Hell, her current single, is by far the weakest song on the album. But the rest of the album, in my opinion, is very nice! It's such a pleasant surprise to listen to some of her songs where she isn't trying to rock out.

I don't think this album will do well even though I want it to do well. I think her label wont even allow a second single release. The album opened on the Billboard 200 at #4. And it will probably slip off the charts pretty soon if the label doesn't back her up.

I know most of you aren't into mainstream artists/music, but I wanted to post some of my favorite songs from the album here.

I hope you give the album a listen and enjoy it as much as I did.

Thanks again for reading.
 
I'm glad I'm not the only one to see the similarities between My December and Goodbye Lullaby...Hell, even their covers look similar:

Good for her for taking more control over her own music. :=D:

I've liked Avril since she came out..very much enjoy Let Go and a few songs from here later releases...I like the direction she went with this new one....glad she stuck to her guns like Kelly did, My December is great...side note Kelly recently posted her album is be delayed until to the fall at the request of her label even though it's done.
 
I agree walkingonsnow. Let Go was her best work. Seems like she has gone back to that kind of music.
 
If What the Hell is the weakest, then I should purchase as well. I like the song, so I'm guessing I'll like the rest of the album :)

she seems really fake nowadays.
"oh look at me, I'm Avril Lavigne, I'm more mature now because I dress more girly even though I actually act like a pop princess and write stupid meaningless garbage nowadays"

I swear, Avril Lavigne NEVER ages. She'll always sing like and be marketable to a 13 year old girl. Most of her songs are at the same beat and tempo as Hey Mickey by Toni Basil.


I DO enjoy I'm With You and Complicated, but I don't really care for any of her later stuff because it all sounds way too young for her.
 
listening to this now

i love you and black star <3
 
One of the reasons she was successful was that she was built as the anti-market (mostly anti-Britney). She was pretty much the opposite of what was hot back in 2002 and sold records without removing clothes or being provocative. I think part of the reason she doesn't sell as much these days is that she's sorta blended in.
