“I hate you now! So go away! From me! You’re gone!” she sings in “I Can Do Better” one of the album’s many punk-pop kiss-offs. Lavigne learned her commercial lesson. Her 2002 debut album “Let Go” was full of chirpy driving songs insisting that a teenage girl (like Ms. Lavigne at the time) deserved attention; it sold 6… She relies on the teen-pop expert Dr. Luke who collaborated on Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone. Lavigne’s new songs are up-tempo with punk power chords atop pep-rally beats and rhymes that are more like cheerleader chants than hip-hop; who knew Toni Basil’s “Mickey” would spawn a school of pop? Ms. Luke distill young love into competition with other girls annoyance at male deficiencies and occasional bliss with someone who’s “hot. ” As an album “The Best Damn Thing” is too relentless to be heard end to end.

textContenturl:window. href} {button:true} ); During the 1990s Poison the Well were among the bands who’d been at the forefront of an evolving sound and in time this fresh strain of unadulterated heaviness was tagged “metalcore” — a genre that fused elements of heavy metal with those of hardcore punk rock. It was a style the Miami-based collective helped to forge along with the likes of Killswitch Engage and As I Lay Dying. While countless metalcore bands followed with much commercial success Poison the Well lagged behind the rest of the pack and was eventually written off as a band that came awfully close but never truly exploded — at least not in the way everyone expected it might. Despite the backing of a major label Poison the Well’s Atlantic Records debut 2003′s You Come Before You was considered a commercial flop selling 115500 copies to date. Late last summer it was announced that Poison the Well had parted ways with Atlantic because of “creative differences… ‘ We did that for a week and we just had to deal with the realization that this thing we did every day for five years was done. But then [guitarist] Ryan [Primack] [drummer] Chris [Hornbrook] and I were like ‘We can’t just stop. I still want to play music with my friends and make records. ‘ So we decided to keep going. Most bands don’t get the chance to come back put a record out and have people still remember who you are. n April 3 Poison the Well returned with a new label (Ferret) and what some are dubbing the band’s comeback LP: Versions. And once again Poison the Well are braving uncharted territory and effectively launching a new sound — one no other band has ever dared toy with.

The record closes with the marvellously titled New York I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down a mesmerising Lou Reed-esque torch ballad. n most of the songs Murphy still wears his English indie influences proudly on his sleeve but this time the hilarious Mark E Smith vocal mannerisms have been turned down a notch in place of a more natural singing style. Murphy has made a career out of pushing the boundaries with his music. With Sound of Silver the man has proven once again that you can’t go wrong with a bit of guile craft and imagination. If it’s immensely danceable robot grooves married to exciting indie rock dynamics that you are looking for this is definitely the album for you. You should modify the document.
