"The best damn thing," mega popular singer Avril Lavigne's third album is packed with fun songs and heartful ballads that will appeal to any teen girl.
The smash single "Girlfriend" is the first song, and invites you into this album as an energetic and powerful song. "Runaway" is milder in terms of energy and topic, but is fabulous to listen to anyway.
"The best damn thing" is remniscient of cheerleaders, and is just as fun as "Girlfriend."
"When you're gone" is one of the first slow, meaningful and almost-sad songs that are included. "Innocence" and "Keep holding on" are similarily categorized, but each unique and show case Lavigne's talent.
"One of those girls" and "Contagious" as well as "Hot" are like "Runaway"- catchy and addictive and perfect for preteens and early teenagers that do not like songs that are overly hyper. I love them all.
And then we have "I can do better," "Everything back but you" and "I don't have to try." A bit frantic sounding, but are still a good, quick listen.

Out of all of the songs by Avril Lavigne, the most that I like are definitely in this album, as I like every single one. My favorite songs by her is "Girlfriend," "Runaway," "Contagious" and "Keep Holding on." More favorites include "My Happy Ending" and "Complicated," which I believe to be the best songs on her previous albums.

Here are my ratings and short descriptions.

1) Girlfriend (10/10)
Extremely fun and catchy and great as a ringtone
2) I can do better (7/10)
Not bad, but not a favorite. This is one of those songs where I like the verses better than the chorus, partly because of the lyrics, and partly because of its similarity to some other songs.
3) Runaway (10/10)
Love this song! Catchy and sticks in your mind long after listening.
4) The best damn thing (9/10)
Energetic and fun
5) When you're gone (10/10)
A song that is relatable and shows true vocal talent.
6) Everything back but you (8/10)
A bit frantic paced, but not bad at all. I don't think it really sounds like her, though.
7) Hot (9/10)
A lovely song that is both slow and fast and shows her versatility.
8) Innocence (10/10)
Touching and serious and melodious.
9) I don't have to try (8.5/10)
Interesting and different, which I like. Just a bit wild for my taste.
10) One of those girls (9/10)
Perfect for many different audiences and has a great chorus and is surprisingly easy to listen to.
11) Contagious (10/10)
Another fabulous song that I couldn't get enough of.
12) Keep holding on (9/10)
Featured in the Eragon movie, this is a great and heart felt song. It feels like Avril Lavigne is really sincere and believes her words strongly. It almost made me cry.

Avril Lavigne shows versatility and a wide vocal range and talent in this album. Perfect for most teenage girls ("Girlfriend," "The Best Damn thing," "One of those girls," "I can do better"), some preteens ("Hot," "When you're gone," "Runaway," "Contagious") and some young adults ("Innocence" and "Keep Holding on"
Many of these songs are appropriate for other audiences.
One more note: I've noticed that most reviews that are negative are not written by the target audience
