 (45 Customer Reviews)
BEST DAMN THING is the third full-length from pop chart upstart Avril Lavigne and shows the artist has lost none of the cheeky, bratty rock edge that put the singer on the map. The album's lead-off single, "Girlfriend," a bouncy pop-punk romp ... Full Descriptiondriven by pell-mell energy and a naggingly catchy chorus, is a case in point. "Girlfriend" kicks off the 12-song set with a bang, telling the listener in no uncertain terms that the album is going to be a fast, fun, high-octane ride.
Whereas Lavigne's sophomore release, UNDER MY SKIN, showed a more reflective side of the singer, BEST DAMN THING doesn't waste time navel-gazing or brooding about relationships gone wrong. Instead the album revels in punchy, uncomplicated pop delivered with a teenaged sneer (and a few well-placed curse words to keep the parents on their toes). Lavigne still seems a ways off from fully exploring her "mature" side, but this batch of energetic tunes is all the better for it. The best teen pop thrives on good hooks and youthful, devil-may-care attitude, and that's exactly what Lavigne delivers.

Best Damn Thing CD music
$10.49
While Avril Lavigne's 2002 debut, LET GO, arrived amidst a tidal wave of teen female performers, the 17-year-old Canadian singer/songwriter managed to distinguish herself with a punk-rock attitude tempered by a hooky pop sensibility. Lavigne's sound reached a remarkably wide audience, even inspiring indie-rock icon Liz Phair to openly pattern her next record after it.
With her 2004 follow-up, UNDER MY SKIN, Lavigne makes it clear which side of the ...

Best Damn Thing music CDs
$10.39
Country purists may take offense at finding American Idol winner Carrie Underwood's debut album in the country section. An unabashedly manufactured commercial product, SOME HEARTS is the sound of mainstream country in the 2000s heavily steeped in glossy pop. There's nothing downhome or roots-conscious about Underwood's voice or looks: she's the pretty blonde next door with a fine singing voice, but the powers that be have made her a country ...

Best Damn Thing CD music

Steve Turner is back!And badder than ever!Bad ideas all around.He's got a band-The Bad Ideas.He's got a new record-Steve Turner And His Bad Ideas.He is no longer the simple folk singer/balladeer of yore.n fact he's turned his back on the revolution he started: Skate-Folk.Let all the Johnny come-latelys have it. It was a bad idea.Funny stuff.OK. Enough of that.His new record is called Steve Turner And His Bad Ideas. And he thinks this record's a lot better than the last one. It was hard won.It was a shitty year after recording "Searching For Melody". A monthafter finishing, Mom was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She died sixweeks later. A few weeks after that Dad was diagnosed with livercancer. Six months later he was dead too. "Searching For Melody" had just come out by that time, and Steve hit the road. Played a lot of shows to very few people. Learned the art of humility. Drank a lot. Wrote some new songs, figured out how to play them. Went to Spain a couple times where he was reminded that life can be good. Wrote some more songs. Grew his hair way too long. Worried what was left of his family.If Mickey Newbury was still alive, he could write a great song about it all. Steve's still working on it. He wrote some more songs and made plans to record them all. Lots of friends both old and new pitched in to help. Johnny Sangster is all over it with his trademark guitar as well as keyboards and bass, his brother Jim was drafted in on bass, dobro and mandolin, Dan Peters on drums, Kevin Warner on drums, Bruce Brand on drums, Holly Golightly adds her vocals, Anne Marie Rudjavich on the violin, viola and backing vocals, Stone Gossard on cymbal and hi-hat of course, and a few more lent their hand. Johnny Sangster produced a bunch, Tucker Martine produced a bunch and Liam Watson in London produced a bunch. It was not cheap. But it was worth every penny. It's not a simple record. Don't expect it to maintain a mood or blend into the background. It starts off with a little thing called "The Grand Introduction", and it is. A wall of guitar feedback, falsetto vocals, crashing cymbals, violin, etc. It's all over in a minute. Then "Zero On The Scale" finds our hero being chased by a garage-rock band on his way to...where. Dig the Dory Previn nod there. "A Beautiful Winter" is Steve and Holly discussing what went wrong when two people don't go at all. "I-5 Corridor" is Steve's love/hate relationship with the minivan. It's not a joke."I Want You In My Arms" is a remake from the first record. Steve felt like it was a failure from his ...
