Rank Avril Lavigne's Album Covers

GL
TBDT
LG
UMS
HAW
AL

Any of her first 4 album covers are good, HAW is ok but not great, and AL will just forever be the absolute worst lol Here's to hoping the cover for AL7 will be one of her best yet!

I always interpreted the LG cover to be like Avril is supposed to be standing out from the crowd, because she was always different from other artists, and also because she had this desire to break out of her small town.

1) Under My Skin - it has a really gorgeous yet simple and pleasantly contrasting disposition

2) Goodbye Lullaby - it is kitschy but it also has kind of a pleasant 'naturecore' style that almost reminds me of what Taylor Swift attempted with her Cardigan music video.

3) TBDT - It's not impressive, but it's functional - pink, punk, blonde and pissed-off Avril!

4) Let Go - I kind of get what they tried to portray with Avril somberly being set apart from the crowd, but it just looks.. very dated.

5) Avril Lavigne - I really have no idea what they actually meant with the imagery, but it has a nice contrast and a good overall composition.

6) Head Above Water - The more I look at it the more strange and off it seems. The guitar seems as if it's two-dimensional, Avril's proportions seem slightly strange, and it seems like a pose where Avril's neck hurt like hell after a while. The water also almost seems like it's tilted compared to how she's positioned, and acoustic guitar seems the strangest choice for an album that's not really about any acoustic guitars or stripped down sounds.

yes, I kinda think of the cover of Let Go like the aesthetic for the song How Does It Feel, especially the first verses.

I like all her covers except for AL and HAW. To be honest, I don’t like the nudity in HAW and the background etc, seems too plain for me.

AL cover seems week conceptually, I remember at the time someone commenting on bandaids that it’s similar to Lady Gaga’s album cover.

In case anyone wants to read a bit of an essay...

The first four album covers are really all on the same level for me. All of them are great and represent the respective album perfectly. They may not be without their flaws, but I don't care.

LG looks a bit weirdly edited, but I feel like it's such an iconic 2000s edit, and I love the handwriting.

UMS also feels really early/mid-2000s to me, but again, that's not necessarily a bad thing. I also love the black-white-red colour scheme, the font, and the burnt-pages edit.

TBDT has probably my favourite pose of Avril's on an album cover. The way she's got that strand of hair wrapped around her finger, and the way she's pulling at it - I've always loved it for some reason. I also enjoy the heavy amount of jewelry. The logo is a bit over the top, though.

And GL has amazing fonts and colours, great editing on the edges, and I love the piano and leaves on it, but I've always disliked Avril's pose, it looks really uncomfortable. I also have this thing with naked feet, I just don't like them at all, lol. Yet I'd say this is my favourite album cover because the positives just outweight the negatives for me. And because it's the first album by Avril I bought as a fan. I still remember receiving the CD and just staring at the cover like "Wow, I can finally hold it in my own hands!" haha.

HAW and AL are both just messy. AL's negatives (the lighting, the close-up shot, the makeup, the hair, the almost illegible font) just bother me more than HAW's mistakes.

I think it's kinda crazy how we went from four superb, 10/10 (or close) album covers to something that's like a 2/10 at best.

Her foot on the HAW cover always creeps me out. so for that I'll choose it as her worst cover.
WHERE ARE YOUR TOES AVRIL
