1) Losing Grip: The fourth single from the album. It was one of the more rock sounding songs on the album, as well as Avril's favorite song on the album. The song talks about a relationship where the person you're with isn't even trying. The video for the song was Avril performing the song in front of a crowd, she also did some crowd surfing in the video. The song was released as an introduction to her next album, "Under My Skin", which was much more of a hard rock album as opposed to this one. It's my favorite song on the album. 10/10
2) Complicated: The first single from the album. I'm pretty sure everyone knows this song since it still gets airplay on radio to this day. The songs talks about how people can be fake sometimes. Everyone can relate to that! The video features Avril with her band "crashing" a mall. Good Charlotte referenced part of the video in their video for "Girls & Boys". In 2013, Avril Lavigne wore the same outfit from this video in her video for "Here's to Never Growing Up". "Complicated" remains one of her biggest hits to date. 10/10
3) Sk8er Boi: The second single from the album. Like "Complicated", "Sk8er Boi" also gets a lot of airplay radio to this day. The song talked about a guy who was crushing on girl who liked him as well but because her friends didn't like him it didn't work out but years later he becomes famous. In other words that girl made a big mistake! The video mainly focused on Avril and her band and at the end of the video the cops and helicopter arrive just as Avril is breaking a car window with her guitar. The song was also referenced in her video for "Rock N Roll" in 2013. 10/10
4) I'm with You: The third single from the album. While "Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi" were upbeat fun pop songs, "I'm with You" showed a different side to Avril since it was a ballad and showcased her amazing vocals. In the video she is seen at a party feeling alone as well as her walking the streets alone and leaving the party. The song was sampled in Rihanna's song "Cheers (Drink to That)", which Avril was in the video for. 10/10
5) Mobile: The fifth and final single from the album. Yes, this song was released as a single. Many people don't know that since it was only released in Australia and New Zealand. A video for it was shot in 2002 but wasn't seen until 2011 when it was leaked onto the internet. The video showed Avril playing guitar while walking and crying. 10/10
6) Unwanted: This song was released as a promotional single in the U.K. Like "Losing Grip", this song was also a rock song. The song is about rejection after only meeting the person and how they make you feel unwanted and want you to go away, despite that you haven't done anything wrong. 10/10
7) Tomorrow: An acoustic pop ballad. The song was played in an episode of Smallville and was used in a commercial that Avril was in back 2009, but I forget what the commercial was for. Still amazing song! 10/10
8) Anything But Ordinary: "Sometimes I get so weird, I even freak myself out." One of my favorite lyrics. The album was almost titled "Anything But Ordinary" after this song but Avril changed it to "Let Go", which was later revealed to be one of her unreleased songs. I love this song as well! 10/10
9) Things I'll Never Say: Like "Unwanted", "Things I'll Never Say" was also a promotional single but not in the U.K., instead it was released in Italy. It's about wanting to say all the things in your head but you get too nervous to say them. We can relate to that right? 10/10
10) My World: "In my head my thought are deep, sometimes I can't even speak, someone be and not pretend, I'm off again in my world". Funny how I can always relate to this line in the song. Wish this song was released as a single. 10/10
11) Nobody's Fool: In this song Avril talk raps, just like she did in "Bitchin' Summer". Only difference is that in "Bitchin' Summer" she did that in one verse and in "Nobody's Fool" she did it in two verses. This song is about sticking up for yourself and not being anyone's puppet. I can relate to this one. 10/10
12) Too Much to Ask: This song is about how a guy chose drugs over his girlfriend and even when she ignores him he still doesn't care. That really sucks! My favorite part of the song was the lyric "you can't see the world through a mirror". 10/10
13) Naked: The last song on the album. This song talks about being with someone who makes you feel good. They see the you for you are and make you feel loved. It's a really good song and a perfect way to end the album. 10/10
To this day "Let Go" remains Avril's most successful album. I love all the songs on the album. Out of 130 points I give the album 130 points, which is an A+. No surprise since it's a great album! Also don't be surprised when I review "The Best Damn Thing" in the future.
