Self-professed skate punk Avril Lavigne sings that she'd "rather be anything but ordinary" on her debut. While the fact that she had a record deal by the age of 16 separates her from the pack, too often Let Go's lyrical shortcomings drag the teenager's musically impressive recording entrée into the realm of the typical. The catchy choruses of Go are substantial, though, thanks to Lavigne's riff-driven melodies and powerful vocals, which at times adopt the unorthodox intonation quirks of fellow Canadian Alanis Morrissette. The nuanced, dynamic "Losing Grip," "My World" (which perfectly captures the ennui of suburbia), and the buoyant power-pop blast "Sk8er Boi" are the collection's highlights. But Lavigne's honest yet awkward words weigh down the likes of "Mobile," "I'm with You," and "Naked." "Nobody's Fool," which displays her Pink-like take-me-as-I-am credo, hints that someday Lavigne's lyrics will match the strength of her music. --Annie Zaleski

 "Milli Vanilli" 2010-08-18
By M. Nielson (Springfield, MO, USA)
She's not a skater girl, or a punk artist, or anything like that. She's just a bratty Canadian girl who isn't interested in having sex with you, or even pretending she wants to like other teen pop stars. She is the face to a type of music that certain folks who head record companies assume you'll spend money on and popularize. Like Lady Gaga.

On THAT note, I gave the album four stars because it's great to listen to, and some of the lyrics struck an emotional chord with me. I first heard this when I was 13 or 14, and it was nice. My stepdad made jokes like 'oh your girlfriend is on the radio again,' etc. Of all the comparisons I've seen to Pink and Alanis Morrissette, people have missed the obvious and most immediate connection to an artist named Michelle Branch, who Avril reminds me most of.

The producers did a great job keeping the pace lively and fun for most of the album. She didn't 'sell out' because she was never underground. As to how she got the record deal if her 'real life' is so completely different from her music making one, I have no clue. C'est la vie.


 "Yes, I'm a fan..." 2010-07-15
By Andrew Ellington (I'm kind of everywhere)
I remember when I first heard `Complicated'. I loved that whole angst rock anthem matched with Alanis Morrissette vocal stylings so much that I instantly purchased the album with the chick who looked like the love child of Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Aniston (squint and cock your head to the right a little and you'll see it) on the cover. Overall I was pleased. This is her weakest effort (I know I'm in the minority when I say that her third album was her best) but it shows the promise that she capitalized on with `Under My Skin'.

I don't believe for one second that she is a punk, but thankfully she ditches that `style' after one blimp on the album.

The albums best tracks are certainly the ones that lace Avril's harsher vocals with catchy pop/rock musicality. The opening track `Losing Grip' is a stunning example of this, giving her an edge as well as a vulnerability that makes her accessible. `Complicated' is still one of my favorite tracks from her, even if it lacks a maturity that she attained on her sophomore album. For her first single, it is a pretty good introduction to her approach. In all honesty, some of the tracks tend to lose originality, and some tracks like `Unwanted' come across as uninspired and forgettable (and a tad out of her zone).

I really like the touching sentiment she brings to `I'm With You'. There is an honesty there that suits her well. Lyrically, it has that `teenage' corner covered, but there is an air of something deeper than expected present. She takes a similar approach with `Tomorrow', which works rather well.

Songs like `Mobile' come off a tad Michelle Branch like, playing more to the pop side of her genre. She rubs away her edge a tad with the playful vocal delivery, and her music tends to lean maybe too close to pop/country here. `Things I'll Never Say' has a similar structure, but the vulnerable chorus structure actually gives me goosebumps, which is a good thing.

The album's closing tracks tend to be a tad bland, which is a shame since it's always important to go out with a bang; keep them wanting more.

`Anything But Ordinary' has a nice concept and overall it is delivered effectively, but it comes off a tad `ordinary', which is somewhat ironic when you think about it. It is also very pop influenced, and the lyrical content seems pretty amateurish. `My World' is flawed, but it is fun and forgivable. `Nobody's Fool' is neither of those things. In fact, this song is possibly the worst thing she's ever released. The rapping is kind of gross.

Overall, this is an uneven debut that is well worth listening to thanks to this girls natural born talent. A lot of my friends tease me endlessly for liking her, but whatever. I can't help it.

For those of you interested, my track ranking:

1) Complicated
2) Losing Grip
3) I'm With You
4) Things I'll Never Say
5) Tomorrow
6) Mobile
7) Sk8er Boi
8) My World
9) Unwanted
10) Anything By Ordinary
11) Naked
12) Too Much to Ask
13) Nobody's Fool


 "Great debut album" 2010-05-16
By Walmart Gift Card
"Let Go" is the debut album by Canadian singer Avril Lavigne. I remember buying this album when I was only 8 yrs old and I was just so hooked on it. I thought all her songs were good. The song that really got me hooked was "Losing Grip". Well, here is how I would rate each individual song.

1. Losing Grip- A great song to start the album with. I just love the beat and lyrics. was written about an ex-boyfriend Avril had. 5/5

2. Complicated- The first single off the album. This song was so overplayed on many radio stations. I do love this song, but I can be boring. 4/5

3. Sk8er Boi- This was the song that encouraged me to have this album. This song is probably the most famous song Avril has ever written. 5/5

4. I'm With You- My personal favorite. When I first heard it, I thought it was the worst song on the album, but when I got older It really grew on me and It's my all time favorite. 5/5

5. Mobile- Great song with a sound of country in it. It's probably not the best song on the album but It's definately worth listening to. 5/5

6. Unwnated- One of my favorites on the album. The beat is very chilling. 5/5

7. Tomorrow- The ballad on the album. Many Avril fans say this is their favorite song but to me it's the worst song on the album. 3/5

8. Anything But Ordinary- My second favorite on the album. The beat and lyrics are just amazing. 5/5

9. Things I'll Never Say- The most beautiful song on the album. I love it when she sings "Am I squeezing you too tight?" 4/5

10. My World- This song Avril talks about her life growing up in Napanee. This song will take you on a journey. 5/5

11. Nobody's Fool- Avril raps in the beginning of the song and it sounds completely terrible but the song has grown on me but I still usually skip it. 4/5

12. Too Much To Ask- One of the best songs on the album. Avril sounds kind of angry in it which makes it awesome. 5/5

13. Naked- A great song to end the album with. Is one of my favorites. Avril sings about not feeling in her "Skin" 5/5


 "Don't Listen to People, Just Listen to the Album" 2009-11-29
By JC Ravenstone (Indiana)
I never had much interest in this musician until 2009, when she had faded in popularity a bit. There had been little buzz surrounding her at the time, but I still heard her on the radio from time to time. It was her song I'm With You that drew me in. I may not have always liked her, but I always liked that song. It prompted me to ignore my peers and just listen to her albums. I've been hooked ever since.

I actually wouldn't consider Let Go to be a pop album. What is pop anyway? Avril has her own unique voice and style of music, which often has a sort of rock/pop/folk sound to it. I would classify her genre as Avril Lavigne. Her lyrics, while simple, convey their meaning well. They aren't all that complex, but they also aren't so complicated that no one can understand what she's trying to say. And if you take up issue with her lyrics, just keep in mind that she was still a teenager when this album was released.

It's true, her music isn't for everybody. She is both loved and hated by the public. I'd recommend listening to this album (or at least some of the songs) by some other means, and then if you like it, buy a copy. A lot of my favorites of hers were the songs I never heard on the radio. It's simple. If you like her music, buy this album. If you don't like it, then don't buy it. But I ask you to listen before you judge.
