An album full of IAM would be so boring IMO. It's a good song, but we already had GL as a ballad-heavy album and it was...an experience.
AL8 will definitely be a continuation of LS, but I'm thinking she'll move slightly away from the fast pop-punk strain and hit more mid tempos this time, with a couple more ballads now. I also think she'll put more work on the lyrical content and tackle deeper subject matters. LS was fun and we needed that boy-bashing album after so long, but it's time she explores new horizons lyrically and makes something more relatable for a (almost 40) 30-something.

Ok yes, it's far from being a perfectly solid and complete track, but we know it's far from being one of her worst. I honestly don't get why this song gets so much hate. It's actually one of her better self-written songs and it touches on a different topic other than a typical breakup. Of course, if you're not into astrological stuff this song might mean nothing to you, but at least we know it's personal to her, so kudos to her for taking that slight creative risk.
Also, I'm pretty fed up with these mainstream artists always claiming they "loved her" and "grew up listening to her music" and the best they can come up with is "I loved Sk8er Boi and I'm With You". If you grew up listening to her music, you know there's a lot more than just that. As usual, her only getting recognition for LG, as if UMS and TBDT had never existed and hadn't been iconic albums.

Loving this emo photoshoot!! Her eyeliner looks very UMS, and so her overall look. It's giving me strong 2005 vibes.

It's been like a month since the song was released, and I can say my hype has definitely died down a bit. I still believe it has a killer bridge, which is basically what saves the song from being a meh track and makes it a really solid one overall. But I think it's still weaker than any of the songs on the standard album, so I can see why it went straight to the deluxe.

That's so nice to read! And how thoughtful of Hayley to have written a letter for her, it's such a nice thing to do! I just wish we could read it lol.

It would make sense for her to release the album before the European tour, so I hope it happens. But as many have said, I dont trust her anymore when she says the album is almost done. She said the same about LS around February 2021 and it was released 1 year later lol She literally had no management or label back then. She was too quick to talk, that's certain. She let her excitement get ahead of herself. But now she has a management and a label, so I don't see any reason why this release would be delayed.

The striped tank top is giving me such strong He Wasn’t MV vibes. It can’t just be a coincidence!

Let’s remember that other than HAW, which she literally took years to complete because she felt that need and wanted to wait to work with the “right” producers, all of her other albums were made pretty fast but there were major label issues involved, both in GL and AL. Unless she goes back to the “I have to keep going” attitude from HAW, I’m pretty confident this album will be here pretty sooner than we think. But even if the lead single came out by the end of next year we’d still be winning.

I will be extremely happy if she will release a new album next year, but I have my doubts. Probably she and Mod will get married , and she will touring Europe early next year so I do not know. Avril always says a lot of things XD She’s working with Travis AKA her label boss and is the one of the two artists signed to that label. They don’t have budget to mess around like big labels do and make their artists go back to the studio over and over again and everything is for sure already planned. They might even already have a release date in mind but obviously are still choosing not to disclose it. Travis is going on tour for the whole of the year in 2023, so they must’ve planned everything in advance so that next year runs as smoothly as possible. Where is the AL8 Discussion Thread? Girl will be here before we know it and she doesn’t even have a discussion thread.

New interview! Been up for more than 8 hours and no one has reported anything lol. Really good! Some of the most important things they talked: -Confirms her 8th album is “almost done” and is putting it out next year along with touring. -Says she wrote a ton of songs with Travis before touring in Japan and has homework to do. She needs to write verses and hates doing that. She loves writing choruses. -The sound will be a mix of Love Sux and her “older stuff”. The interviewer asked her if the album would keep the sound of LS or if it would be reminiscent of her older stuff, and she said “I think thaaat”, and then she was like “I think both”. -Talks about how much she’s into astrology and they talk about Mercury In Retrograde. -Says she’s got 4 songs down on the Xmas record and will put it out in 2023 or 2024. www.walkradio.com/2022/12/06/68828/

A role model as an artist? Of course. As a person? Not necessarily. And why would she have to be one? She’s a talented artist that made more than one pick up a guitar and self-teach themselves the way she did (I am one of them) and taught people to stand up for themselves and for their art, and that’s enough for me. Her drinking or smoking occasionally doesn’t make her less of a person and she’s allowed to have fun, even if I don’t share her concept of “fun”. She was always this way, so I’m surprised some people are still shocked to see her with a cigarette or a beer in her hand.

Teenage Nightmare is so good. I honestly have no idea how they managed to make a song shorter than PP or BOAH sound much more complete and longer. I wish the other shorter songs had this structure. Technically it's short, but it's a complete song from start to finish. The lyrics are also amazing. It's like My World 2.0. It should've come out as a stand-alone single in June, along with the anniversary of LG. No offense, but it's not anywhere near the same level. My World is so descriptive of her life before fame and makes her sound so genuine/relatable, while having some really beautiful lines. In Teenage Nightmare she doesn't really say much... But we're comparing it to a song that's basically twice its length.
