Product Description

Amazon.ca

Alanis Morissette, what have you wrought? Even a dewy-eyed innocent like Avril Lavigne can't escape the big guitar angst of Morissette's Jagged Little Pill, the influence of which is all over the young singer's debut like cinnamon on a bun. Opening track "Losing Grip" and "Unwanted" are two of the more obvious clones, while first single "Complicated"--as undeniably catchy as it is--borrows the finger-poppin' groove of "Hand in My Pocket." Oh well, for an artist not yet out of her teens, Let Go is quite an accomplishment. Besides the obvious Alanis-isms, the disc also offers a slick pop-punk revenge fantasy in "Sk8er Boi" that will make just about any spurned teenager cheer as the heroine heads into the recording studio "singing the song we wrote / about the girl you used to know." (Older listeners--that is, anyone of drinking age--will cringe mightily.) And kudos to Lavigne for giving props to her small Ontario hometown in "My World," where she sings "Grew up in a 5000 population town / Made my money by cutting grass / Got fired by a Fried Chicken ass! / All in a small town / Napanee." At this rate, she'll never have to fill another bucket of the Colonel's greasy product again. --Shawn Conner

À tout juste 17 ans, Avril Lavigne semble en voie de conquérir le monde avec un premier album qui a fait une percée remarquable dans les palmarès canadiens. Tel une page de son journal intime, Let Go dévoile ses réflexions sur le petit monde qui l’entoure. Cette fanatique de planche à roulettes aborde évidemment les sujets qui touchent les filles de son âge : l’amour qui tourne mal ("Complicated"), la difficulté de se faire entendre ("Things I’ll Never Say"), les premières relations sexuelles ("Tomorrow")… On pourrait parler ici d’une version adolescente d’Alanis Morissette, quoique l’approche musicale soit différente : Lavigne ne partage pas du tout la rage qui émanait de Jagged Little Pill, par exemple.

Au lieu de proposer la pop sucrée que privilégient plusieurs chanteuses de son âge, Avril Lavigne préfère le rock-pop bien acéré. Toutefois, même si la jeune femme de Napanee, en Ontario, se définit comme une rebelle, Let Go laisse entrevoir bien peu de cette révolte. Au contraire, les mélodies accrocheuses et les paroles fleur bleue se conforment trop souvent à un format radiophonique qui manque cruellement de surprise. Malgré cet enrobage assez convenu, Avril Lavigne a quand même le mérite d’écrire la majorité de ses textes, ce qui est tout à son honneur. --Frédéric Boudreault

5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh New Sound, Jun 6 2002

gyrfalcon987 (Oberlin, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Let Go (Audio CD)
When I saw Avril on TRL and she was Carson's pick of the week I thought she was absolutely awesome at first site! Avril is a 17 year rock skateboard person from a small town in Ontario. I would reccommend this to anyone who likes Vanessa Carlton or Michelle Branch but Avril is better. She is very similair to those three (each play an instrument, are young, write their songs, and arent victimized by teeny bopper stuff). This whole album is written by Avril!

Losing Grip-This is one of the more rock songs. It has a cool, catchy chorus but a little to hard rock for me-8/10

Complicated-Avril's first single-one of the two more pop/rock songs. Absolutely brilliant! The music video is really cool and the lyrics and everything. It is also mixed really well. Probably the second best song on the cd-10/10

Sk8r Boi-This will be her second single. Sorta of like Complicated but I think it has a more catchy chorus. I also love the lyrics on this I think they are pretty funny. My favorite song on the cd-10/10

I'm With You-This is one of Avril's ballads. It has a catchy chorus (like all of her songs). In this song you can her how great her voice is-9/10

Mobile-This song is one of the sorta rock songs. Another one with a catchy chorus-8/10

Unwanted-This song reminds me of Vanessa Carlton. Another of the hard rock songs. I don't really care for this track-7/10

Tomorrow-This is a really pretty ballad that is very nice to listen to-9/10

Anything But Ordinary-In this song Avril speaks out about not wanting to bel ike other people. It has cool lyrics. Another catchy chorus-10/10

Things I'll Never Say-One of the many songs that almost sounds at the beginning like it is Scottish. She even does a little Scottish chant thingy at the beginning of this one. It is pretty cool. This is another of my favs-10/10

My World-This song has a little pop feel. It has cool lyrics about her home town and a cool chorus-10/10

Nobody's Fool-This is a really great song!!! She sorta "raps" in it. Which is sorta funny. Another cool track-9/10

Too Much To Ask-Compared to the rest of the album there isn't a whole lot special about this track but is still solid-7/10

Naked-This is an ok song but it isn't really special either-7/10

This unique teen rocks! 13 absolutely great tracks make this Canadian Rocker one of the best new artists this year. So go check this album out (oh yeah she also has already criticized Britney Spears so she can't be bad). I will be watching to see what her next album will be like!

5.0 out of 5 stars Avril is AWESOME!, Jun 26 2003
By 
This review is from: Let Go (Audio CD)
I love avril so much, she's changed the pop charts into more of a rock sense of music! Avril is like the best person for anyone to look up to! Some ppl say that she is a poser, well, she's not, she never said that she was punk, and she does play guitar a little bit, if she didn't then she wouldn't use it in her videos! All of the ppl that are calling her a poser are just mad because Britney could never ever be that great of a vocalist or a person!
Toodles!

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun Music to Sing Along With, Nov 11 2003
This review is from: Let Go (Audio CD)
Avril Lavigne took the world by storm and some people are jealous and upset. Yes, I know her music is pop and that she's in fact NOT a skater or a punk. So what? When I bought this CD in June when it was first released, I didn't care whether or not she was a punk or a poser or whatever! Now people make such a big deal about that trivial issue and they forget to listen to the MUSIC and let the MUSIC do the talking. If you like her music, people automatically think YOU think she's a punk and that you don't know real punk music when you hear it....OR....they think that you got suckered into the whole punk fashion craze. Well, all that isn't true. So now with that aside, let me review her MUSIC....You can think whatever you want about her IMAGE.

1. Losing Grip - This song is very catchy, has a great strong melody and thought-provoking lyrics (4/5)

2. Complicated - This song was butchered on the radio so much that it would make anyone sick (even her fans...haha), but when I first heard it, I loved it. (5/5)

3. Sk8er Boi - Extremely TERRIBLE lyrics, however, the melody is catchy (2/5)

4. I'm With You - I didn't care for this song at all. People say that the message behind the lyrics is deep, but I just think it's a snooze. (1/5)

5. Mobile - This song is very POP-ish and is a great song to sing along to... (3/5)

6. Unwanted - Everyone can relate to this song (at least I know I do!) and I really like the melody. (5/5)

7. Tomorrow - This is a subdued tune on her album with a more mellow aura...Avril's voice sounds very pretty on this track and the lyrics are quite mature. (5/5)

8. Anything But Ordinary - I LOVE this song...It's about wanting to push the limits and be wild and different. I especially love it when Avril hits those really high notes. (5/5)

9. Things I'll Never Say - I hated this song...The lyrics are plain, blah, and sound as though they were written down quickly without much thought and in return, it doesn't provoke much thought from listeners. (1/5)

10. My World - This song tells us a little about her personal life (where she grew up, where she worked). The lyrics and the melody did NOTHING for me and I found it quite boring. This track seemed like a filler for the album. (1/5)

11. Nobody's Fool - I hated this song as well...haha, Avril should NOT try to rap OR if she DOES try again to rap, at least do it with some worthwhile lyrics! Rapping does NOTHING for her voice or for us. Avril's voice is more suitable for pop or pop-rock and she should stick to it, because quite honestly, her voice isn't that flexible. (1/5)

12. Too Much To Ask - This is one of my favourite tracks off the album. Her voice suits it perfectly and I can really relate to the melancholy message. (5/5)

13. Naked - Avril's voice is amazing on this track and the message is quite profound (whether or not it was intended, that's the way I interpreted it). This is also one of my favourite tracks. (5/5)

14. Complicated (The Matrix Mix) (Bonus Track) - This sounds EXACTLY the same as the regular "Complicated" version, so...I don't know what the point of this one was...The rating for this one will be the same as above (5/5)

I'm curious as to what Avril's second album will be like......She's got my interest. Sure Avril's vocal range isn't mind-blowing nor are her lyrics incredibly deep, BUT, she is definitely an artist to follow in the music industry.
