No wonder she was so annoyed at RCA trying to push the pop rock thing on her again. This song is mediocre.
At least WTH and Smile, they're completely different styles and were modern at the time.

Yeah its on youtube too, but tbh the song is really bad lol Its really weird. Vocally is post-TBDT for sure. The whole whisky thing makes think its a Self-Titled. Half full is from Goodbye Lullaby, before she was sent to Max Martin.

I just felt it because AL5 was the one where she kept singing about partying and drinking, even in the darker songs lol

Lights Out is so generic it sounds like every female artist's ballad in the last 6 years. It actually reminds me of something but I can't think what exactly

Sorry, but "Half Full" is just downright bad imo. The only part I like is the "so bring the whiskey over here". That single line has a really nice melody. But the rest of the chorus is absolutely awful. The chanting actually made me cringe. The verses are boring, I already forgot what they sounded like (and it hasn't even been two minutes since I listened to the song). Avril's vocal performance is meh; she sounds kinda bored and like she's not feeling the song at all. The lyrics are bad. The doubled tracked vocals sound weirdly put together in some places, almost like they're out of sync. The instrumental is lame. This song is just... no. I'm so glad this one got cut.

There's also a song called "Get Weird" among the leaks but I haven't found a link yet. It sounds... Well... Weird from what I heard...

Get weird is so different from every other thing she has done... It's fun. What record is this from? AL5?
I dig the "Let's get werid when the sun goes down, when the freaks come out nananana"

That song really is weird, haha! I do kinda dig the percussion, it's so full-sounding, has a really good bass to it. And some of the melodies and lyrics are quite enjoyable, too. It's overall a pretty fun song, but it doesn't sound like an Avril song at all. I also find the "na na na"s kinda annoying and I don't like the ad lib or whatever this is supposed to be in the bridge. Sounds like they couldn't come up with decent lyrics there. But yeah, overall it's kinda fun, and while I understand why it didn't make the cut, I (probably) would've rather had "Let's Get Weird" than "Hello Kitty" or SoS.
EDIT: Another think I just noticed about the song is that it reminds me of Ashley Tisdale's "Crank It Up", lol. I think it's the lyrics. I've never heard "super sonic", "robotic", and "neurotic" used in a song, except the in those two.

I actually love "Let's Get Weird". It's really fun and gives me an early-Kesha vibe. A final, polished version would've been great on self-titled in my opinion.

I dig the "Let's get werid when the sun goes down, when the freaks come out nananana" According to Avril Lavigne Spain on Twitter, yes, it's from AL5. But I don't know where they got the info from.

Let's Get Weird gives me Hello Kitty vibes (''I wanna have it another way'' part is almost like ''someone chuck a cupcake at me'' lol), I don't like it. It's... a weird song and kinda cringey. Most of the lyrics are either na na na or la la ta ta da da. I don't know.
Half Full is so TBDT but Avril sounds like she's not feeling it. It's like an ill combination of I Can Do Better, One of Those Girls, and I Don't Have to Try that lacks quality. I like some little parts there and there but overall it's very meh.
I agree that Lights Out sounds generic but vocally Avril really delivers. She sounds so good. It could've been a better pick than Bigger Wow or Love Me Insane for sure. I like it overall.

I unironically love AL5. So varied, so many things that were totally new to her. I can see why all three were rejected, from bad songs to things that do not sounds 100 % like her.
Btw, we got both out first leaks of GL and AL at the same time right? That's weird.
