The whole album is like acoustic slow jams then Dumb Blonde comes out of absolutely nowhere
 I think it would've fit better between Bigger Wow and Love Me Insane but still sticks out like a sore thumb... It's nice having a classic Avril rocker-ish song on the album but she really needed 1-2 more just so it doesn't feel so unbalancedAlso Nicki Minaj does not belong on an Avril Lavigne album |

Avril sounds the best she ever had on the album. It's a really solid and beautiful album except with "Dumb Blonde" sticking out like a sore thumb.

For me it’s easily her worst album.
This performance ... |

The thing about 'Dumb Blonde' is, I love the verses but seriously hate the chorus.

‘It was in me’ is beautiful. The whole album is great bar DB which is annoying. If she has to do songs like that ‘what the hell’ or ‘heres to never growing up’ capture the soubd better.

I kinda like the sound of this album aside from Dumb Blonde.
It’s better than her last two albums for me, although her first two are untouchable but still her best album since 2007! It’s obviously coming for that 9-79 OUT chart run though unless there’s major promo or a hit single. Tbh though outside of this forum and her fanbase which most of have unfortunately most likely grown apart from her I don’t think people are aware she has new music out. The vast majority of people will not know she even released music last year. I mentioned it to my friends and they were all like she hasn’t released anything in years and none had even heard Head Above Water the single!

I hope she does any promo would be good but it’s probably gonna end up performing like Xtinas last album which weirdly was her first album in 6 years too!
If I wasn’t on this forum so much new material would pass me by though but unfortunately for Avril no matter how good the album is if there’s no word on her actually having new music out it’s not gonna sell past week one Even promo isn’t everything like Ariana had no promo last week like she wasn’t actually on UK TV but everyone knew she had an album out even sweetener didn’t have much promo UK wise apart from a BBC special and radio one but again there will have more money behind those than Avril especially as I seen she was everywhere on streaming sites I only have Apple Music but my full insta and Snapchat feeds were people listening to her on Spotify. It’s a TV boost Avril needs If Head Above Water got an X Factor or Graham Norton slot last year I think it could’ve went top 40 (the single). I’ve not seen a single post or video share re Avrils new album though. This post has been edited by Jordan Lee: 19th February 2019, 01:16 AM |

It's a shockingly dull album and unremarkable in every conceivable way. The production, the cliche lyrics and themes - there is nothing here.
It's insane to think she's had almost twenty years in the industry and this is the best she can come up with. |

I've listened accidentally to Warrior right after Head Above Water and I felt like I had listened to the same song twice XD

Down to #34 in the midweeks, I thought it would make like Liberation and fall to like #90 or something so pleasantly surprised, I guess
 On the album itself, I feel the general response online is very harsh. Yes it can be a bit but samey and there’s filler, but it’s still a solid album. Head Above Water is the only real Avril MOMENT on it though I’d say. 10 Head Above Water 09 Birdie 09 I Fell In Love With The Devil 08 Tell Me It’s Over 08 Dumb Blonde 07 It Was In Me 04 Souvenir 07 Crush 05 Goddess 08 Bigger Wow 05 Love Me Insane 06 Warrior |

It held up better in week 2 than I imagined but has fell out the top 100 now.
Good to see it made top ten though and also top ten in Canada and Australia |
