Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm looking for a place
searching for a face
is anybody here i know
cause nothings going right
and everythigns a mess
and no one likes to be alone

Pros: under my skin
Cons: avril lavigne
Part of Avril Lavigne's appeal -- a large part of it, actually -- is that she's a brat, acting younger than her 17 years on her 2002 debut, Let Go, and never seeming like she much cared about the past (she notoriously mispronounced David Bowie's name when reading Grammy nominations), or anything for that matter. She lived for the moment, she partied with sk8er bois, she didn't want anything complicated, and she sang in a flat, plain voice that illustrated her age as much as her silly, shallow lyrics. Those words got disproportionate attention because they were so silly and shallow, but most listeners just didn't care because, thanks to producer gurus the Matrix, they were delivered in a shiny package filled with incessant, nagging hooks -- a sound so catchy it came to define the mainstream not long after Let Go hit the radio. The Matrix became ubiquitous on the strength of their work with Lavigne, who herself became a big star, earning constant play on radio and MTV, kick starting a fashion trend of ties-n-tank tops for girls and inexplicably providing a touchstone for indie rock queen Liz Phair's mainstream makeover. Fame, however, didn't pull the two camps together; it pushed them their separate ways, as the Matrix went on to record their own album and Avril decided to turn serious, working with a variety of co-writers and producers, including fellow Canadian singer/songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk, for her second album, 2004's Under My Skin. Lavigne hasn't only shed her trademark ties for thrift-shop skirts, she's essentially ditched the sound of Let Go too, bringing herself closer to the mature aspirations of fellow young singer/songwriter Michelle Branch. Since Avril is still a teenager and still a brat, it's livelier than Branch. Even when it sags under minor keys and mid-tempos, it's fueled on teen angst and a sense of entitled narcissism, as if she's the first to discover the joys of love and pain of heartache. In a sense, she comes across as Alanis Morissette's kid sister, especially now that the Matrix are gone and the hooks have been pushed to the background for much of the record; it's the teen spin on Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, where she's self-consciously trying to grow as an artist. Naturally, this means that Under My Skin is less fun than Let Go since there's nothing as giddy as "Sk8er Boi," even if much of it is written from a similarly adolescent vantage. Lavigne's collaborators, Kreviazuk and Evan Taubenfeld chief among them, have helped streamline her awkward writing, and her performances are also assured, which almost makes up for the thinness of her voice, which sounds far younger than the meticulous arrangements around it. So, Under My Skin is a bit awkward, sometimes sounding tentative and unsure, sometimes clicking and surging on Avril's attitude and ambition. But it's telling that the one song that really catches hold on the first listen and stands out on repeated spins is "He Wasn't," the fastest, loudest, catchiest, and best song here, and the one closest to the spirit and sound of Let Go -- it's not that Lavigne hasn't matured, but it's that her talents are better suited on music that's a little less contemplative and deliberate than Under My Skin. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Luv yaWas this review helpful? Yes - NoFlippin Sweet
Pros: lyrics
Cons: music is not the best, but the lyrics make up for it
So i purchased Avril Lavigne's "Under my skin" when it came out, and i must say that i loved the first song. However, the second song on the CD was not her style i could tell. i looked in the album cover and saw that there were numerous writers. HOWEVER, i read the lyrics aloud just as like a poem and it really got under my skin. i realized that this was a girl who has a tough exterior, but is just like you and me with a lot of baggage inside. She has an amazing voice, and is just a wonderful person i can tell. Which is y i will wait until her next album comes out and i will definately buy it. and by the way, I LUV YOU ORLANDO BLOOM AND JOHNNY DEPP!!! YALL ARE SOOOO HOT!!!! i like johnny depp more though....... hehe i ttyl bibi

Pros: Awesome Cd:)
Cons: None
I LOVE ALL THE SONGS ON THIS CD:)
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoGreat, but not super
Pros: Better songs than Avril's last cd.
Cons: The music wasn't as good, but still really great
This cd is really worth buying. For all those of you out there who are all like, yea whatever, i'm telling you, Avril sings sooo much better than Hilary Duff. I mean, I would rather listen to a horse sing than Hilary, that is, if I could tell the difference. Avril's cd is really great, and I think you should (if not buy it) at least listen to it, and after you do, I'm sure youw will buy it nonetheless.
