Avril Lavigne - The Best Damn Thing:
Year: 2007.
Music Genre: Pop-Punk.
'The best damn thing' is the 3rd studio album from the pop-punk princess Avril Lavigne, First of all i am one of the biggest Avril fans i love her stuff and couldn't wait to get this album in my cd player, but this album i wasn't so keen on, the album is not like Avril's previous material i thought it has lost allot of its meanings and is just too mainstream also her voice seams to have become a bit more higher, also in allot of the songs she's bigging her self up about being the best thing which is cool because she is great but she doesn't need to tell us in every song, it seams like she was a bit stuck for material as the album is half good and half bad, for eg: 'Girlfriend' is a really catchy tune which i got hooked on straight away as like allot of people and it got big and is constantly played by people i didn't even know liked Avril, its just a song about how great Avril is and that she should be your girlfriend because she's better than everyone else, pretty meaningless but a great song nether the less, very upbeat and full of life and it makes you wanna dance all night long, real party tune. 'When your gone' is probably the best song off the album and should have been the starting point to the rest of it, its packed full of emotion and love, its about a person who's loved and lossed, and just crying out to be with the person she lost, its a beautiful written song and the music is really well played, with an acoustic guitar playing which just adds, the song also builds on itself well and just makes you wanna cry if your feeling down, it just sounds like the right sort of song that should have been the defiant point of Avril's courier. 'Keep holding on': the soundtrack to the hit movie Eragon and again another brilliant song beautifully sung and written, just singing about someone who's loosing all hope in life and with the help of others to hold on and move along, again also some brilliant guitaring in it. 'Hot': again like girlfriend its an upbeat track but its catchy and will get you hooked listening to it, also its not so week lyriced like some of the other songs off the album, its a song about someone who's in love and singing about how it makes him/her feel, ' you make me so hot, you make me wanna drop, It's so ridiculous, you make me wanna scream' it always reminds me off one of her old songs 'He wasn't' very energetic and fun. 'Innocence', another weaker but still one of the better songs off the album, its a slow love song played with a piano and an acoustic guitar, its a song about someone who's in love and feeling so happy about it, well packed with emotion, i just think the lyrics should have been a bit more meaningful, other than that great tune. Some of the dead awful songs are ironically the title track to the album 'The best damn thing', its so poorly written, for eg: 'Let me hear you say hey hey hey, Alright, Now let me hear you say hey hey ho' its really week and she's just totally bragging and its nothing like how Avril should be singing in this time of her courier this should have been the shite that was on the first album not now which is a real disappointment because she is a really talented person, the only good thing about this song is the end! 'I don't have to try' again a poor song very week and full of meaningless lyrics eg: 'I'm the one, I'm the one who knows the dance, I'm the one, I'm the one who's got the prance, I'm the one, I'm the one who wears the pants, I wear the pants' i give it credit the music is very fast passed and upbeat would have been better if the song was stronger. So basically if you liked Avril's old material this is pretty different in the fact that this should have probably been her first album not her third but it dose have its good moments like I've said, its worth a listen just for the good songs and if your a fan then don't be shocked if your disappointed, lets just hope she moves on and try's harder to write a good album instead of a week one with only a few good songs.
