A good cd for 10+
This cd is worth it if you like punk-rock and pop-rock. The whole cd is clean except for track 4 which every 20-40 seconds says it's that d-mn cold night. If you think you or your kids can take it, it's worth it.

Prodigy?
She ain't a stupendous song writer. She can't write something as catchy as that song "The Metro" by Berlin the Cars' "Bye Bye Love." Maybe if she would scream more and start rocking harder she would be better.

Great Artist
Avril Lavigne is very amazing with music. this was her first CD and she was awesome, and STILL is. The language is pretty mild (@$$) for example. ITS JUST GREAT GO BUY IT IF YOU HAVEN'T YET!

Gret breakthrough
This album, which is the first of the girl who’s been proclaimed as the “punk princess†is a very well achieved pop record. The melodies and lyrics of the songs written by Avril herself tell us about the life of a teenager who’s been brought up in a small town and has always dreamt of something more. Ballads like the successful “I’m with you†and the beautiful “Tomorrow†show us a great talent and voice which blended together make a ballad you can’t miss. The harder, rockier songs show how much of a rock chick Avril is, although she’d be better defined as a pop artist. The only song that seems to be a little “off topic†is “Nobody’s fool†which has some rap influences but is not as well achieved as its rockier sisters. It still is a nice song to listen at certain times.

The almost-perfect debut album.
Let Go is definitely one of the best debut albums out there. With songs like "My World" and "Mobile" it really shows how Avril is just a simple girl who grew up in a small town, and just moved into the real world. But that's not all the album is about. Her main inspiration came from her relationships. Good - "I'm With You", "Things I'll Never Say" and the smashing hit "Sk8r Boi". And bad - "Losing Grip", "Unwanted" and her no. 1 debut single, "Complicated". Most of her songs are in the Rock/Skater-Rock genres, but not all. "I'm With You" is a fan-favorite ballad, which is also the fourth single off of "Let Go". Yet there are some songs that are not as fan-favorite as others, overall, it's an album worth buying. Avril Lavigne speaks her mind, and has proved with this album, that she's Nobody's Fool.

An Excellent Album
Avril Lavigne's "Let Go" is a wonderful CD and is perhaps one of the best albums of 2002. There are no violence or drug references. As for sex, there is one off color line about a single mother in "Sk8er Boi", but it's doubtful that the target demographic of this album (pre-teens) will even notice. Language is iffy, as one chorus repeats "d***" and two other songs use that word as well as "a**". Social behavior is good, as Lavigne offers a "cover up" image for girls and an anti drug message which both girls and boys should take note of.

It's Not That Complicated
Just when the world of music was being bombarded with bubblegum pop, along came Avril Lavigne. You must have already heard her infatuating debut single, Complicated, a mid-tempo pop song about staying true to yourself--either that or you've been living under a rock for a while. With her tie adorned tank top and camo pants signature, Lavigne seeks for something different, as she confesses in Anything but Ordinary (Is it enough to die? Somebody save my life! I'd rather be anything but ordinary please). The seventeen year old drop-out chick from Napanee, Ontario will tell you to f**k off if you ask her to trade her so-called "anti-Britney" attitude to sexy bare-your-soul outfits.
Let Go is a collection of pop rock songs with oh-so catchy melodies àla once-you-hear-it-you-will-not-forget-it. Fruit of collaborations with The Matrix, Clif Magness, Sabelle Breer, Peter Zizzo and Curt Frasca, Let Go succeeds in delivering something fresh yet not rubbish to our ears.
Losing Grip and Unwanted could have been songs Alanis Morissette would have dedicated to her early hearbreakers at the age of seventeen. I'm With You and Tomorrow are acoustic guitar driven pseudo-lullabies; the former being a proof this girl can actually sing, while the latter may easily be heard in a TV series for its sweet melodies and Lavigne's ear-friendly mellow voice. Forget the grammar for a while in Sk8er boi and give in to its punk-ish tunes.
She sure may not be your next sexy obsession, but Avril Lavigne is sure destined to conquer the charts. Forget the words one hit wonder when thinking about Lavigne, because this girl will be around for a while.

You need this album!
In Avril’s very first album, she stole the hearts of millions of teenagers worldwide. In this very album, she carved her identity in history forever. This album is the very reason Avril is who she is today. Despite being a young teenager, Avril Lavigne done something the majority of people her age could never do. She spilled her innermost thoughts; her biggest regrets; her happiest and darkest feelings onto paper for the whole world to see, and used her amazing musical talents to make millions from it. Today, she might say “Complicated†is just a stupid song about a failed teenage relationship, but it was with this very track that all those people still listen to her today. Although I can’t say I like every song on this album, I can say that each and every track is worth a whole-hearted listen. “Sk8er Boiâ€Â, the instant classic, “I’m Nobodies Fool†and “Losing Grip†remain my three favourites to this very day. My least favourite track has to be “Some Things I’ll Never Sayâ€Â, a slightly irritating track that I still steer clear of putting on my ipod. But as a whole, this album is an excellent homage to Avril’s sheer diversity in music; one minute, you could be rocking along to a fast, instantly lovable anthem, the next, getting your anger out by singing along with a hate-filled power-ballad. I may be only one person , but I would recommend this record to anybody who feels some sort of disfunction in their life. So get a copy, sit back, relax, and Let Go.

Great CD from Avril Lavigne.
I LOVE Avril Lavigne, so, I love this CD. Like her others, it has messages in MOST of the songs, such as 'Too Much to Ask', or 'Complicated'. But some, like, "Sk8er Boi" are purely fun, (but also 'Sk8er Boi' has a small message to not judge people on the outside)
The only curse word in this ENTIRE CD is 'ass'. There is a play on words in "Thing's I'll Never Say" (If I could say what I wanna say, I'd say I'd wanna blow you....away/If I could say what I wanna see, I'd say I wanna see you go down...on one knee.)
Avril is VERY talented, as a singer, a songwriter, and a producer.
Buy this CD!
