Review: Pop-punk queen Avril Lavigne reigns on 'Love Sux'

Avril Lavigne’s past love life helped inspire her new album Love Sux.

Meet Me @ The Altar vocalist Edith Johnson has said that the band’s upcoming debut album is dedicated to Pink, Avril Lavigne and Demi Lovato.Taking to Twitter, the singer wrote that the group are bringing back “2000’s radio rock” with the record.“I cannot wait to share this album with you. We are bringing back radio rock. Rock tf on,” she wrote.

Mutual admiration! Avril Lavigne was thrilled when fellow musician Taylor Swift sent her a gift to celebrate her new album — and she hopes something more will come of the sweet gesture.

Say what you want about Yungblud, but he seems to be planning for the future on his new single, The Funeral. 

Chris Willman Music Writer“Encanto” is spending its eighth week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, but the real enchantment this week may be in the form of three debuting albums that arrived to add some fresh air to the staleness of the chart in recent weeks.Although nothing was remotely in danger of dethroning the Disney soundtrack from a run that keeps breaking records, Kodak Black had a particularly respectable bow on the chart with “Back for Everything,” which entered at No. 2 with 60,000 album-equivalent units.

The couple that works together, stays together! As Avril Lavigne pieced together her Love Sux album, she enlisted her boyfriend, Mod Sun, to help with some of the tracks.

Love Sux, out now. The line—from the song “Cannonball”—is angsty and maybe even a little rude, but you can't miss the joy in her voice as she shouts over a drumbeat so driving it sounds like the heartbeat of someone who just downed three espressos, a Red Bull, and an unknown number of green tea pills.

Ellise Shafer Avril Lavigne — the original pop-punk teen queen — is returning to her rebel roots with “Love Sux,” her seventh studio album out today via Travis Barker’s DTA Records.In a December interview with Nylon, Lavigne described the 11-track project as the album “I’ve wanted to make for my whole career,” calling it “anthemic” and “powerful.” Indeed, the album’s two singles — “Bite Me” and “Love It When You Hate Me” — recall the in-your-face attitude of Lavigne’s earlier hits, à la “Sk8er Boi” and “Complicated,” while also presenting a more confident, independent woman and artist.
