The eye-candy cover suggests an album of bright, colourful and breezy pop songs and, by and large, that's exactly what 'The Best Damn Thing' delivers. It also brings an abrupt halt to the progression promised by the previous, darker in tone album, 'Under My Skin'. Avril certainly throws herself into this with energy and enthusiasm and the results are uplifting. Most people will probably be familiar with the various singles and these are fairly representative of the album as a whole. However, other standout tracks include Runaway, Contagious and the epic power-ballad, Keep Holding On. A good album which will appeal mainly to teenagers and nostalgic 20-somethings who still regard Avril's first album as her best damn thing!!!

Before I purchased this CD I didn't really think much of her songs since she has also appeared as a typical teenage girl. I decided to buy this album to see what has changed: everything! She has progressed into a woman and I love every song on this album! Get this if you haven't already!!!

This is a really great album. I think her second best behind Let Go. I think some of the songs are abit popish which I don't like. 9/10.
