I love Avril, my kids do too! This is the dirtiest of all her CDs, just because of the bad words, but it has lot's of girl power, which me and my 2 girls love!

meh, it's just avril, what did you expect? A good singer?

love this cd!

Clearing up the content problems first, the non-deluxe version is also the edited version. That version includes all edited songs except "Runaway". Avril does a fair job editing the songs, replacing cuss words with other words rather than blanks so you can't tell that she did so. But on the explicit version, language is worse than CSM says, so I'm assuming they never listened to the unedited version. The deluxe version includes a "motherf***er" in Girlfriend, multiple uses of "s***" in I Can Do Better (replaced with a "shh" sound on the edited version). B**** is not edited out on either versino for Runaway, but both b**** and sl*t are edited out and replaced with "heys" in Everything Back But You. Lastly, Avril uses "motherf***er" four times in I Don't Have to Try, but she replaces them with a repition of "get ready" in the edited version. So there really is quite a difference in the versions, but the edited version is done fairly well to avoid the usual blanks in songs. As for the actual music, I know 5 stars might seem high, but I also have a fidelity to Avril, since "Let Go" was the very first CD I bought on my own as a child. So I most likely have a sublminal partiality to her music. But I also think that all the songs are incredibly catchy and up-beat, her instrumentals are better than in previous CDs, and as a bonus Travis Barker also guest-drums in three songs (Blink 182 is my favorite band, so that was cool for me). She only has three slow songs this time around, trying to keep the CD poppier, and those three songs are also very good, especially When You're Gone. If I absolutely had to pick, Everything Back But You unedited is my favorite song, but I think all of the songs are great. Parents will likely not want their younger children buying the deluxe version, but the edited versino is alright. For a cleaner way though, her first two are much safer for children.

this could b a really goood soundtrack if the lyrics were better!!

This amazing comeback my avril lavigne is the"besast D**n thing" for this punk singer "the best D**n thing" features her hit song "girlfriend" the language is alittle vulgar for younger children but still some good stuff!!!!!!!!♥♥♥

In this new and third album, Avril Lavigne leaves her maturity aside and shows us her funnier, brattier side. Songs like the super successful Girlfriend or the anger driven I Can Do Better (which she reportedly wrote while drunk) are quite an impressive couple of songs to hear after her most mature record to date, Under My Skin. Going for a more relaxed image, Avril has achieved awesome love songs like Contagious and Hot which are obviously dedicated to her hubby (Deryck Whibley from Sum 41) without being cheesy. Ballads like Keep Holding On and Innocent show off her vocal skills, which are really good. Although lyrics of most songs are nothing that will earn her a writing skills award, the record for sure shows a contrast between both married life and a 22-year-old-who-is-on-top-of-the-world’s life.

She shocked everyone when "Complicated" was released in far 2002. Her tank top/tie signature became a fashion statement for the teens, and her debut album, "Let Go," sold over 15 million copies. Not bad for a seventeen year old chick, fresh from dropping off of high school and whose Lexus cages don't include the words "skater" and "boy." Two years later, the songs got deeper, the mood got darker, but still the crowd appreciated. "Under My Skin," a collection of boy-bashing guitar riffs, piano-ridden pseudo-ballads, and optimistic tunes, sold over 8 million copies worldwide - a sign that this so-called anti-Britney girl-turning-woman was going to stay in the scene for a while. Modelling, acting, and especially marrying Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley officially turned the girl into a woman. She deliberately chose to "take my time" and "chill out" for a while. Not one person from her label interfered with the processing of her highly awaited upcoming album. Now she is ready. The waiting is over. Avril Lavigne - the best D**n thing - is back. And rocking. The album kicks off with "Mickey"'s sister "Girlfriend," which sees Avril singing "In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger/Cause I can, cause I can do it better." Cocky - yes - but very effective. This song, Lavigne's first single off of D**n, can currently be found on top of every chart there is. It's even topped every other single Avril has released in terms of sales. Produced by Swedish god Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, "Girlfriend" is a mix of pop, rock and hip-hop beats, accompanied by cheerleading madness - the perfect way to open the album. But the stongest track comes only after three minutes and something. "I Can Do Better" contains almost every music genre: from pop to rock, to rap-like phrasing to punk edged screams. "I hate you now/So go away from me/You're gone/So long/I can do better!" sings Mrs. Whibley, who, even now that she is married, doesn't seem to have had enough with bashing boys. Travis Barker (blink-182, Box Car Racer, Transplants, +44, Expensive Taste) plays drums, and the results are obvious. D**n is all about fun. The songs are not necessarily about personal experiences in this record. Lavigne wants the world to know how she is feeling right now. And it shows. "It's the summer song," says Avril about "Runaway," one of the most optimistic songs she has ever written in her entire career. "I just want to scream and lose control/Throw my hands up and let it go/Forget about everything and run away/I just want to fall and lose myself/Laughing so hard it hurts like hell." Songs like "The Best D**n Thing" and "I Don't Have To Try" sound a bit repetitive, but don't make them less likeable. "Everything Back But You" and "Contagious" are both blink-182 would-have-been songs, packed with the trio's sounds and Lavigne's Tom DeLonge's unmistakable way of singing. "When You're Gone" and "Innocence" are the only slow slongs on the album, together with "Keep Holding On," which was written for the movie "Eragon." All of them are indisputably beautiful, both lyrically and musically. Lavigne's voice has never sounded better than in these songs, which also show her more mature side - the side that can feel love and happiness. "Hot" is as sexy as the title is. "You make me so hot/You make me want to drop/You're so ridiculous/I can barely stop/I can hardly breathe/You make me want to scream/You're so fabulous/You're so good to me," sings Avril (to husband Deryck) in this upbeat "love" song. "One Of Those Girls," produced by Whibley, is a pop rock warning to guys - the very first specific girls-bashing. "She's going to be the end of you/At least that's what they say" and "She's so good that you won't see it coming/She'll take you for a ride and you'll be left with nothing/You'll be broken/She'll be gone off to the next one," Avril carefully warns. Overall, the album is very catchy and though Lavigne can still do better than this album, The Best D**n Thing will have a major impact in the music industry, more than her previous records. If it's marriage that made Lavigne put out a record this solid, all the Duff's, Lohan's and Simpson's better get their special someone to propose as soon as possible. Now get your Limoncello and start dancing around to the tunes of D**n.

The best D**n thing is truly the best D**n thing. For what sells the most around the year of 2007 Avril Lavigne hit Ace when she decided to go a little more out of her way to make a new hip and outstanding album that includes emotional and hilarious songs such as 'When you're gone' and 'Girlfriend'. Avril Lavigne has a line out great mind addictive music including: The best D**n thing Runaway Contagious Hot and so on.... Any teenager within the years of 13-20 would enjoy her new album.
