Idk if it’s too s**n or not though. She said the same thing about AL5, and we all know how that went. AL5 she said, "I have enough material for two albums." This one she said confidently, "That's why there's two albums." She also almost died before even completing the AL5 tour.

Are you guys kidding? He’s saying the album is strong and that she’s been so successful throughout her career that she doesn’t need to do anything else to prove herself as a legend. Sorry I'm not a native English speaker, so the writer is saying the nice thing? I just thought he is make fun of Avril for her talent running out.🤣 Yes, I think it’s a positive statement. He’s saying that Love Sux isn’t a 10/10 album (but is still good) but that Avril is already a legend and doesn’t need a 10/10 album to prove that she’s talented.

"Even if Love Sux isn’t a perfect album, it’s certainly a well-deserved victory lap from someone with little left to prove." Ehh,such a hater AHAHA I Thought the same ! Are you guys kidding? He’s saying the album is strong and that she’s been so successful throughout her career that she doesn’t need to do anything else to prove herself as a legend.

Kanye West says ‘Donda 2’ will only be released on his ‘Stem Player’ platform which is a $200 speaker up for pre order. Seems Love Sux will be safe from battling Donda 2 on the charts then.

I would tend to agree with what Daniel said, though I think at the same time it does seem a bit like Avril has gone the “easy” path with this album, resulting in some ok-ish lyrics and surface-level meanings in the songs. She did say the album was lighthearted though, so I don’t think we could really expect some deep emotional album from her. Maybe some were hoping to hear her evolve the pop punk sound, like TBDT but with more grown up lyrics and themes instead of just yet another boy-bashing record. She mentioned themes about self-worth and empowerment but the record so far is basically boy-bashing and love gone wrong again. It’s not really anything new from her, and maybe that’s what some were hoping for I guess? Isn’t her way of understanding “self-worth” hidden simply in breaking up with somebody who isn’t treating you well? Yes I think the empowerment and self-worth Avril talks about is standing up for yourself, knowing what you deserve and moving on. I wouldn't say Avril has gone the easy route, but rather that she has gone the Avril route. This is the music that comes naturally to her based on everything she says and I said it earlier but her music has never really held deeper meanings or lyrics other than exactly what she says and to me that's part of the magic.

I feel so sad with this whole 'revival' thing. She has the popularity, the legacy, the talent but she refuses to use all these qualities to evolve as an artist. what a waste. Sorry, but again I feel I have to defend Avril from some real disrespect here. Not only is she making the style of music that fans have been demanding for well over a decade, but she's making the music that she loves and is happy with. Fans were rude about Avril Lavigne and Head Above Water when both albums showed some incredible talent, growth and experimentation and now that she has returned to the same style as TBDT (like everyone has asked her to do for years and years), she "refuses to use all these qualities to evolve" and it's a "waste". Cool if the music isn't your style (it isn't really mine either - these days I listen mostly to country), but she seems to love this new music more than I've ever seen her love her music before, she's proud of it, she's doing exactly what she wants and I think it's really unfair to be insulting.

Really surprised about the reaction to Bois Lie here. The song is really strong and these tracks so far are exactly what you guys have been asking for from Avril since she released The Best Damn Thing. She has never been some master songwriter so it seems strange to expect that now considering this is how it has been since Let Go.

I know the song will get shared regardless of rules here or what anyone says - so guys, if you’re sharing the song please keep it private and don’t post on YouTube, Soundcloud, Twitter etc.
Avoid posting about hearing it outside of Bandaids too because the leak isn’t damaging as long as it stays inside our fandom and other people don’t pick up on it as well

Honestly if people start caring less and less about the charts I would be so happier. We all enjoy our artist without the fear of having them always #1 and the artists could release the records they want . In a future … I agree with this. I find the charts so exciting and fun, but it’s not that deep. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter where the album or the songs chart because Avril seems to be having the most fun she’s ever had and is happier with her work than ever before. That’s worth more to me than any chart position. It would be really cool to see the album chart high, but it doesn’t matter. I’d prefer Av’s happiness and critical acclaim, which hopefully this album will be one of (if not her highest) her most acclaimed pieces of work

Has she ever made it past the #200 spot on Spotify? I think I recall back in the HAW era she was 100 and something but I’m not sure… She’s at her all time monthly listeners peak right now

I usually wouldn't expect an artist to release a standard and deluxe CD. Most times the CD would be the deluxe version to begin with - but it isn't unheard of for an artist to release a deluxe CD at a later date. I think its more likely that they'll just release the deluxe tracks on streaming

Have you tried Amazon? If you ship from them instead of Av's store, it's a lot more likely to arrive on time I’ve never ordered something before with Amazon tho. Good to know it arrives on time most likely when you order there. I will check it out for the deluxe when we can order that one! Obviously I can't promise on Amazon's behalf, but I order from them a lot and every single time it has arrived when it says it will. That's usually the day after I order or the release day of an item if I pre-ordered
