The Best Damn Thing (Expanded Edition)

The Best Damn Thing is the third studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne, released on April 17, 2007, through RCA Records, as her first album on the label. The album represents a musical departure from her previous studio album Under My Skin, which incorporated more elements of post-grunge. The Best Damn Thing is seen by critics as Lavigne's most commercial effort. The album was noted as her first effort to feature a wide range of producers, including Matt Beckley, Rob Cavallo, Dr. Luke and Lavigne herself, who was credited as the executive producer. Upon its release, The Best Damn Thing received mixed reviews from music critics; some considered the album very radio-friendly, while others praised Lavigne's transition from grungey alternative rock music to more pop-punk music. However, the main criticism of the album was the lyrical content, which some found too rough or brutal. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 289,000 copies. The album also debuted atop the charts in Austria, Canada, the United Kingdom and many other countries.
