We live in an age when albums roll of a production line they are so manufactured. So what makes newcomer Avril’s different? Well nothing, its still classic pop queen record label stuff but at least Avril bothered to have a unique sound and style. And that is really what makes Let Go such as breath of fresh air.
Its young and it’s packed full of energy with load guitar music, hey if it wasn’t so pop vocalist it could even be verging on punk. Still, enough with these crazy metaphors, Let Go is a good album. It has the “you just know are going to be classics” tracks such as Complicated and Sk8ter Boi (spelling these days, not like in our day) and some slightly more hidden gems too much to ask and unwanted.
It has a bit of an unstable to feel for it – there are some good tracks in it and there are some bad tracks at it. It’s not totally at extremes but then only a slither of albums ever are. Scores ok on stickyness though, there are numerous tracks that you will end up getting stuck on your head, no doubt some you already have from radio play.
If you’re a rock fan then this album isn’t for you despite the marketing – it’s a pop album. But it’s a good pop album and it’s by no means at the bubblegum Steps end of things that I am sure most us want to keep away from. My opinion, it is a good album, get it if you happen to be making some impulse purchases. |
