1). Goodbye Lullaby 2). Head Above Water 3). Let Go 4). Under My Skin 5). Avril Lavigne 6). The Best Damn Thing* *The Japanese/Taiwanese Special Edition cover though would be #2. I really like the Japanese The Best Damn Thing cover too. I think I prefer the original though, as the editing around Avril isn't cut/blended too well on the Japanese cover imo. For those who haven't seen it: :format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-5922740-1457973008-4636.png.jpg) omg I think I prefer it to the OG

1. TBDT - (whie background with slightly blue tones in the shadows which make the pink stand out more (almost complementary colors). Her most iconic pose to date, grabbing her hair/extensions, wow, even the cropping is great, a lot of textures and details. Best logo to date. It is simple, yes, but it is perfctly done. (the only thing i don't ike is probably the textured wall lol)
2. UMS - most iconic red cross we've ever seen. I love the concept, BUT ums era had better pictures. There's one that is almost the exact same pose but she has her head a bit higher. i think it's the picture she posted for the UMS anniversary. It is also in color, also white background with blue tones and it made the red stand out more. I'm really sad they didn't chose that picture, in the original cover she looks kinda bored, dead or annoyed and the b&w doesn't help.... But i still think the concept is great.
3. GL - could've been her best cover to date.... BUT NO, they had to chose THAT pciture... 🤡 where she looks like a frog. UGH! It's been 10 years and I'm still not over it, and never will... There were a lot of beautiful shots from that photoshoot i still try to understand how they always manage to choose the worst pictures.... (it's still number 3 for me bc the setup is great and general photoshoot is amazing)
4. LG - 2000s vibes lol. I like it, it's become iconic now, but let's be honest, it's not the best shot, not the best outfit (ironically it doesn't really represent LG that well, the outfit is more ums if you ask me). Not much to say about it. I love the blue tones but that red thing in the corner it's kinda distracting (warm colors always tend to come to the front in pictures and they also tend to stand out more especially surrounded by cold colors)
5. AL - Ugliest photo she has probably. I agree with whoever said the photoshoot had better pictures, i get the idea too, but it's just not good. It's boring as well. Hair Buns do NOT fit her at all.... but somehow she made a cover with one...ugh. The flash makes her look like a ghost, boring typography.... no no no....it's just a NO...
6. HAW - Worst photoshop edit I've seen in years.... It's a shame. Everything looks fake...even her, she looks like a doll....ugh. I was struggling between this and AL...but I guess AL5 as a picture is not THAT bad.... but HAW cover is just wrong in all the ways possible....Jesus! xD
Knowing her history and the trends og "pop-punk" albums right now, with full body shots and kinda street photography, Yungblud, MGK and ModSun have similar covers... i guess I'm expecting something like that for AL7....i really hope not 'cause i found them kinda boring...BUT we'll see....
Sorry for the long post 🙏😂

1. Let Go 2. UMS 3. Love Sux
these are all good so I won't comment them further.
4. The Best Damn Thing. Too simple and too pink, I don't like her shirt. Furthermore the vibe does not represent the album, she seems all serious and kind of sad, but the album is very upbeat and light. 5. Goodbye Lullaby. Actually this could have been perfect but I don't like seeing her foot toes and feet in general. She also is in a strange position and kind of looks like a frog standing on the piano. No, thanks. This is such a waste bacause the general setting, vibe, the editing and her face are perfect. 6. HAW. I have a problem with feet. Especially if they are poorly edited and look like pork feet rather then human feet. Terrible. The position is also strange and unnatural. Should have been done better. 7. Avril Lavigne. Just no. That picture doesn't make sense and it's not nice to look at.

Maybe this should go in the 'Unpopular Opinion' thread but I don't actually really like (or dislike to be fair) ANY of Avril's album covers. They are just sort of, I dunno, THERE. LS is okay because it really POPS; as for the rest UMS is my favourite for the simple fact that it doesn't LOOK posed to me. Clearly it is but it could almost be a candid shot that was snapped by a photographer who happened upon her and said "Avril, look over here, please." CLICK. As Always, YMMV

And I love that GL had a green/nature concept. But the rest I think I like em because I've grown up with them. I also just always liked the red X logo. Also the photoshoot for UMS was cool.

About the red 'X' logo: Avril was born in 1984 which technically makes her a Millennial rather then a Gen "X"-er. That being said, as a Gen "X"-er myself I believe I am authorized to grant her honorary Gen "X"-er-ship and I'd like this post to be recognized as me doing just that. Welcome aboard, kid!

1. Let Go - I like the blurred background and the font that looks like handwriting (I’m not sure if it’s actually Avril’s or just a close match). It has a very simple vibe that’s fitting for a teenager from a small town. I have to admit I’m a bit biased since this was the album I fell in love with first 😂
2. Under My Skin - I like how almost the whole picture is black and white except the red details. That “X” really grabbed my attention when I first saw it. It’s always bugged me a little that the letter R is a lot smaller than the others in the UMS font - especially since “Avril” has an R right in the middle. It makes her name look kinda strange.
3. Goodbye Lullaby - I like the shot of Avril sitting on the piano, and the forest aesthetic is cool and different from her other album covers. Someone said it reminded them of Taylor Swift’s “cardigan” and I can definitely see that.
4. Love Sux - It really pops! I like how the black balloons stand out against the reddish-orange background.
5. TBDT - I think it matches the general vibe of the album really well - bright and fun, but a little moody too. I’ve also always loved that polka dot shirt she’s wearing 😊
6. HAW - I feel like this cover could have been beautiful, but there’s just something “off” about it and it’s not that interesting. I prefer the blue sea background from the Head Above Water single.
7. Self titled - This cover actually creeped me out the first time I saw it. Avril looks way too washed out, and her hair up combined with the black background sort of makes it seem like her head is floating haha. Also, the eyeliner is waaay too intense.

1. GL 2. TBDT 3. LG 4. UMS 5. AL 6. HAW The cover for HAW seems so dark.. it should've been more blue with the Head Above Water. All this black doesn't make sense and her foot is weird lol. Self titled was weird too, too light and her hair up wich she never really had before so it's not a good photo for a self titled album wich should've represent her as a person. I love her black eye shadow and eyeliner and such but on this cover it's smeared all under her eyes wich is not nice. So by far are HAW and AL the worst. Maybe they even share last spot cause they're both kinda ugly. Okay so with Love Sux it will be this: 1. GL 2. TBDT 3. LS 4. LG 5. UMS 6. AL 7. HAW It was hard choosing number 2 since I both really like TBDT cover and LS. Maybe a shared 2nd spot for those two. Only thing that ruins GL is the foot but her hair makes up for it

I'd put LS between GL and HAW I think. I'd say TBDT, UMS, LG, GL and LS are her good covers. HAW is ok. AL is bad.

1. Goodbye Lullaby (I am just in love with that whole shoot, but I think the cover is actually representative of the album) 2. Under My Skin (I love her hair and the black&white theme suits the album IMO) 3. Let Go (iconic, simple, not too thought out, and it's sort of like this small-town girl wearing her normal clothes was dropped in the middle of New York City which is kinda what actually happened) 4. The Best Damn Thing (I do wish she'd used the one from the actual photoshoot with her on the billboard instead of the ones she and Deryck shot, but I like the one she went with) 5. Love Sux ( I don't understand her position or the balloons, it's kinda boring, and I still say it's red not orange lol) 6. Head Above Water (I love the symbolism of her behind the guitar, hate the photoshop/editing job, but if I don't look at it too hard it's nice overall and I think the black&white is cool) 7. Avril Lavigne (it took me the longest time to realize they didn't "chop" her head off the rest of the picture and stick it on the cover but that she's waring a black sweater with a black background lmao)
I know she said she wanted to wear her hair up for the AL cover since it's something she'd never done on a cover before, but IMO the cover for your self-titled album should scream "you": her hair should've been down, maybe some colored streaks in her hair, and the background should've had things associated with her such as the black star, a skate board, etc.

I don't think that photo represents Avril at all! And if they wanted to used a pic from that shoot they could've chosen the one on the back as front cover or a simlair one like that!
