New music? Oh my Gosh. I guess it’s an EP to support the tour.

So, I'm over the whole "omg this is the best album she's ever released" phase. I think Head Above Water is quickly becoming the new AL. People loved that record when it first came out, too, then quickly trashed the shit out of it. It's happening again, dawgs. I said that when AL came and a week after I realised that was one of her worst. HAW is still the best for me and I won’t change my mind.

I know it’s frustrating to see her debut #13 on Billboard, but was she ever going to chart any higher than that? Her lead single peaked at 60 something, and the following singles didn’t even make it on the list. All the signs were there. After seeing that, I don’t think a #13 is so terrible. We have to understand for once and for all that Avril is no longer on the A list of music and will never be there again. She just isn’t relevant anymore. It’s not about the music she puts out, it’s about the fact that the brand Avril Lavigne isn’t a goldmine anymore. That’s how music works. Let’s look on the bright side: she put out an album that she was hands on 100%, that she loves, and had no label forcing her to make hits. The music is good, some of her best work is on this record. That’s what we should be celebrating. She’s a millionaire, she doesn’t need those #1 anymore. She did her thing and had a huge impact on the music industry, managed to be the first YT video to reach 100Million views ever, sold out arenas worldwide, peaked the BB charts. Yes, “those days are long gone”, but she DID that. If she doesn’t tour, it will be because of her health not because of her sales. People who don’t even chart on the BB 200 make worldwide tours and spend over a year around the world, so Avril can still do a world tour if she wants to, just not at arenas anymore (except for probably Asia and Brazil). This is not entirely Avril’s fault or BMG’s fault. Promo is important, but in the end it’s the name what will get you high up on the charts, not your input on social media. No matter what, Avril’s success days are in the past, but she’s finally happy to be releasing what she wants and people are happy with this record, so that’s ALL that matters. Sad but true. Music industry has always worked this way. Even artists who were massive like Mariah Carey or Celine Dion are completely irrelevant nowadays. People grow up and new generations come, new artists rise and the cycle repeats over and over. Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande etc will suffer this as well in the future, and it's not surprising. We are lucky Avril is back and releasing the music she wants. That's what matters at the end. She's a legend no one will change that.

I have just checked Britney’s Glory total WW sales and they are over 322k. Xtina’s Liberation over 206k back in July, I don’t know how they are nowadays.
So in one week she has already outsould Liberation and will Reach Glory by next week. Not bad.

200k in pure sales is pretty amazing. So bad her streamings are poor but at least she is proving that she’s a good seller. Avril, P!nk and Beyonce are one of the fewest from the early 2000s who still sell a lot of pure sales.

She sold less than 25k in the states.... probably not going to tour. And if it’s not her last album, we’ll be waiting another 3-4 years for a new one. Sales will be even worse.... There’re more countries in the world anyway. Kylie Minogue is a flop in the States and she keeps releasing music. Plus, we don’t know her WW sales yet and at the end it’s what matters. The US has never been her main market. This is not her last album, she loves making music and I hardly doubt she’ll stop making it.

Someone trolled some titles in Lastfm.
IFILWTD is my second favorite from the album but I don't listen to it that much. It Was In Me is my most listened tho. The amazing Crush comes at second place. I listen to the album everyday many times per day. I can't get tired of it. It's the first album since Lust For Life that I listen nonstop since its release, and I will be listening it throughout the whole year. I simply love this album.

looks like I WON. Best song of the album. Even Love Me Insane is more interesting than this. Thank God she keep Souvenir instead of this song.

I think at this point there should be a thread just to compare Avril and Taylor. Seriously this is brought up every month on this thread. Btw this is not a diss on anyone just a trend I've noticed. I'm guilty of it sometimes too. Just there's a point where it should just be taken elsewhere. Every month? Every 2 pages, really at some points I saw more people praising Taylor here than Avril, I mean we had lots of moments of people kinda putting Avril down on here. And to me is really annoying as I don’t like Taylor and I enter here to read/write about Avril. And I’m pretty sure there’s a thread for other artists where people could discuss about them there They just praise Taylor because she’s successful. Reputation is a bad album, if Avril would have released something like that... my God, I can’t even imagine the meltdowns.

Loved that Backstage Video.. Saint Evanluke also said Karaoke Carpool was being planned for last days of this month.. It´d be Amazzzzing Another thing I Remember is about she inviting several blonde celebrities for DB Music Video and About she already started writing for AL7.. I Wish this is truth.. Any rumor else evanlike said you remember guys? P.S: I have been listening to In Touch.. I Like that song, I Wish Bebe Takes it.. To be honest I'm so afraid of this...I mean...she's never been THE best singer in the world. People loves to watch karaoke carpool to hear some extreme vocals, and considering that she's still sick pff, I'm just afraid. Imagine her voice being in a bad condition that day. You're all acting as if Lyme didn't do anything to her :/ Have you seen Britney’s Carpool?. Perhaps Avril’s not the best vocalist in the world but she’s better than 80% of the actual pop singers. You underrate her so much.

I've always believed that Avril's strength lies in her melodies rathen than her lyrics. If you expect her to deliver lyrics the way Taylor Swift, 3 Doors Down or Nightwish do, you will be really dissapointed. This does not mean that she can't write, because I think there are some really beautiful Honestly I don't understand people praising Taylor Swift as a songwriter. I love Taylor but her writing is overrated as fuckin hell. Plus, her melodies are worse than Avril’s. And I don’t even want to compare their voices because Avril crushes Taylor hard.

LET GO: 3 UNDER MY SKIN: 0 THE BEST DAMN THING: 2 GOODBYE LULLABY: 2 AVRIL LAVIGNE: 0 HEAD ABOVE WATER: 5
#1 I had clear HAW but Girlfriend comes next. #2 Choosing between Complicated and Birdie is hard but I guess Complicated is the thing. #3 Don't Tell Me, Push and IFILWTD, three of my favorite songs. But IFILWTD is just next level. #4 I'm With You is a masterpiece. WYWH and TMIO come next, the rest are just meh. #5 WYG is another masterpiece. Then Let Me Go, Dumb Blonde and Mobile come next. #6 It Was In Me is her new best song. Nothing left to say. GYWYL and MHE are masterpieces too. #7 I choose Hot because it's the most underrated bop of her career. Nobody's Home and Souvenir come next. #8 Crush is a new top 5 in her career. Innocence is a masterpiece. ABO and EH are standouts. #9 It was easy, Not Enough is amazing. Goddess comes next, the rest are not a cup of my tea. #10 I've always found Fall To Pieces overrated as hell so I choose the correct answer: Bigger Wow (a bop and a half). #11 Probably the worst category. Her 11 tracks are just fillers except Nobody's Fool. Then LMI and Contagious. #12 This was difficult. I LOVE all, but I choose RW. *#13 It's not here because of the lack of songs but I'd choose Hush Hush without any hesitation.
To sum up: UMS and AL were found dead in a ditch. HAW is the new bible.

It Was In Me and there's no other option Otherwise I'd pick Birdie. Bigger Wow or Souvenir are great options too. IFILWTD is a masterpiece but it won't work as a single. It's too long and dark.

Has this been posted already? Long, but awesome review. She talks a lot about the technical aspects of the album and points out things I never would have noticed myself. Makes you realize even more how much effort has been put into this record. This review is AMAZING. Those amateur critics should be ashamed. Publishing those reviews and having this nice girl analyzing every single aspect of each song should make ask themselves what the fuck have they listened. I’ve accepted that the album has been dragged by critics, but at least the user metascore is her best until now and I LOVE this body of work, so fuck them all.
