Rock Rules On Avril Lavigne’s ‘Under My Skin’

Joe D’Angelo of MTV News reviewed Avril Lavigne’s new album ‘Under My Skin’ to be released May 25th. He writes, “Loud, chunky, crunchy, searing, shredding six-string explosions provide an angry edge to tracks targeting the things that disturb Lavigne most. Weighty riffs help to realize the throbbing confusion Lavigne feels as she sings, ‘I can’t handle this confusion/ I’m unable, come and take me away’. Under My Skin is diverse enough so that every song isn’t likely to be fully embraced by even the most loyal Lavigne fans. While uneven, the variety is evidence of a young songwriter finding her groove, and given the immediate allure of the rock songs, Lavigne sounds best with the amps turned up to eleven.” Read more.
