Data Insight
The self-titled album is dominated by Avril Lavigne's writing partnership with her then-husband Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, who co-wrote ten of its songs. She also worked with David Hodges and Martin Johnson across a deliberately eclectic record that swings from arena pop-rock to the EDM novelty "Hello Kitty" and a Marilyn Manson duet. Her name is on every track, but Kroeger's hand shapes the album more than any outside writer had since The Matrix.
