I forgot how hard she had to fight to get Goodbye Lullaby released and that she basically forced to add on "Smile" and WTH. Besides TBDT being awful for her career longterm as Glove Slap excellently pointed out, I think everything from that point on has shown that her team has completely forgotten what made her an appealing artist in the first place. Songs like "Wish You Were Here" are what she does best and don't come off like some fading pop star desperate for a cheap hit. All I remember from the last two album cycles is thinking how different her legacy could be if the PR campaigns/singles focused on her musicianship, the sales would probably the same or lower but it would be so much better for her image. She's rich and had a great run though, very few artists get 3 albums and she didn't fall off the way Nelly Furtado or Fergie did, she naturally declined at a rate you'd expect while still showing that she's kept a solid fanbase who are committed to her. Not everyone has to be Beyonce, she can still have a decent career without regaining relevancy. I just want her to make an album that is 100% what she wants to do and is proud of, ironically I think if anything is going to help her career and image it will be that. Whatever you do you gotta make it seem authentic, and pop star Avril couldn't be the furthest thing from that. Acoustic singer-songwriter/adult contemporary type of stuff is where she's at her best and were she has to most potential to connect with audiences. TL;DR I'm stoned and hope Avril can see the potential in herself like I see in her. Homegirl and her team needs to let her light shine and stop trying to make her into something she's not, because she's s**tty when she tries to be a popstar but she's great when she's just Avril.

I'm a big Avril Lavigne fan and have been since day 1, so I am so excited for new music. I can't believe it's been over 4 years already since her last album. Time flies. I'm not expecting big things for her chart-wise because she's been in the game a long time and hasn't had a ton of success lately, but I think she can still get an occasional moderate radio hit and I've always been here for her music no matter what direction she's gone in (the bratty stuff or the more mature singer-songwriter direction). Can't wait!

Her co-writers have said this was the album she was born to make, and power-ballad producer Stephen Moccio said her fans “will be happy. Very, very, very happy”. I resonate a lot with your last paragraph, so let’s hope she finally delivers the record we know she’s capable of.

Tracklist for that playlist: Complicated Sk8er Boi I'm with You Losing Grip Don't Tell Me My Happy Ending Nobody's Home Keep Holding On Girlfriend When You're Gone Hot What the Hell Smile Wish You Were Here Alice Here's to Never Growing Up Rock N Roll Let Me Go Give You What You Like Hush Hush Hello Kitty Bad Reputation How You Remind Me So other than missing "The Best Damn Thing," "He Wasn't," and "Fall to Piece," it's entirely just a singles collection with the addition of her "Bad Reputation" and "How You Remind Me" covers.

Really enjoying the discussion of her career in this thread. That definitely speaks to the strength of her debut, despite the missteps of her follow-up albums. Let Go is the album that made me want to work in music, so Avril holds a special place in my heart and I'll always check out whatever she releases.
There's just something about her at her best ("I'm With You," "Wish You Were Here," "Anything But Ordinary") that sits so nicely in the ear. I don't want her to duplicate her past work, but I know she's got it in her to make some amazing sounds. Looking forward to the new music!

I'm hyped for this. Other than the painfully immature TBDT, I have loved all of her albums.

I revisited her self-titled album earlier this week and there's still some jams there.
"Bitchin' Summer" and "Sippin' on Sunshine" would've been nice summer staples, although I wonder what word they would've replace "Bitchin'" with?
I also forgot how much I loved "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" and how much it reminded me of her first album.

At only 33...theres still so much left to accomplish Is she only 33? Gosh I thought she was so much older. A comeback just isn’t going to happen unless she does a nelly furtado Esque reinvention. But hope she puts out a good body of work.

Avril followed Carpool Karaoke, The Late Late Show, and Jimmy Fallon on Twitter. Potential promo lineup?
