avril has a few songs that i think are just ‘okay’ and i forget exist(they all come from the head above water album: love me insane, bigger wow, warrior, birdie) but if i had to choose one song that is her most forgettable i would probably pick mercury in retrograde.
it is just such a nothing song to me, easily one of her worst, and i have no idea why it ever saw the light of day when every other leak i’ve heard from love sux is far superior. the hook is weak, the vocals/production are grating, and the topic is just so…random. pity party isn’t amazing either but at least it’s catchy and memorable and gets stuck in my head every now and then

Agree re MIR. I listened to that and Pity Party once when they came out and haven’t bothered again since

I think I have to agree but I’ve heard another MIR where there was a huge outro? And it was a shame the album version was suddenly cut off like no big outro. Ruins the song.

INNOCENCE!
oh how I dislike this song and I don’t get why everyone likes it.
I find her trying to rhyme ‘Innocence’ with ‘brilliant’ really jarring!

Also her voice during the bridge ("it's a state of bliss you think you're dreaming...") sounds too chipmunk-ish to me. The lyrics are okay, a bit boring, but imo this song should have been a acoustic-guitar pop-song. I dont like piano ballads in general though...

I never thought she was trying to rhyme those two words. None of the other words in that chorus rhyme. I agree that she pronounces "brilliant" a bit strangely, as she has with random words since the beginning of her career. And it's not an accent thing- I'm from the same part of Ontario, Canada as her!

I don't really find any of her songs forgettable, per say. I have my least favourites though which are pretty much all of the Bratz-theme-song-sounding songs (TBDT, I ALways Get What I Want, etc). I don't forget them (how could I? Lol) but I never listen to them. I've always felt it almost sounds like these MPF songs were written by someone else entirely than the voice in the acoustics/ballads (I'm not saying they were, I just find the tone radically different).

Nobody's Fool I just forgot about it. I love this, but I just haven't heard it in a while. And recently, when I listened to it again, I remembered that it was like a breath of fresh air while I wait for Avril's new music.

I used to say UMS was an album without fillers but tbh FTP and WH dont fit the album, so I always forget about them. But at least WH had that amazing Olympics performance, so my brain kinda knows it exists. FTP though... pretty forgettable

Most forgettable: Forgotten Most memorable: Remember When Unironically, though, Forgotten is probably the least memorable track on UMS for me...it's not really bad or anything, just doesn't strike me the way so many of the other songs do.
