《The Best Damn Thing》以眩目的、即兴发挥的吉他伴奏形式出现,伴随即刻可以让人记住的旋律、副歌部分以及不变的叛逆摇滚态度。这标志着她摆脱了黑暗,音调仿佛是对《Under My Skin》的反省。同时Avril也乐于为她的歌词营造一些情节,如她所说的,这并不是直接出自她的日记。现今我们听到她的一系列作品,展示了她如何慢慢发展为一个曲作者和歌手,从那首时髦的初出茅庐的“I Can Do Better”(Avril的个人最爱之一)到这首难以抗拒的专辑第一主打单曲“Grilfriend”(此歌出乎预料地在朋克摇滚的旋律里融入了嘻哈节奏,强劲的和音、掌声以及饶舌式的女生组合和声);到为20世纪福克斯公司的传奇电影《Eragon(龙骑士)》录制的动人情歌“Keep Holding On”。
作为一个对流行乐有着敏锐感觉并且训练有素的艺人,Avril将自己的热情投入到了《The Best Damn Thing》专辑制作的方方面面:从独立创作她自己的歌(她强调:‘在这张唱片制作过程中没有公司A&R人员的参与,我非常明确地知道我想要怎样的作品’)到选择制作人和音乐上的合作伙伴。在录音室里她近乎苛刻地来回调整吉他的音调及鼓点,以期能做出迄今为止她个人的最好专辑。所有的努力最后化作一道冲击波,“我根本没有想到制作一张唱片会那么有趣”她说道。也有一些制作大师为这张专辑贡献了他们的制作技术,其中包括Dr. Luke(Pink, Lady Sovereign),Butch Walker(Avril的老朋友,曾参与“Under My Skin”的制作),Rob Cavallo(Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Goo Goo Dolls),以及艾薇儿的丈夫Deryck Whibley(Sum 41成员)。关于和已经为她之前专辑共同创作过好几首出色作品的Dr. Luke的再次合作,她说:“Luke和我之间有很好的沟通和化学反应。”他们在录音室的制作过程中充满了轻松的气氛:你可以在“I Can Do Better”中听到Avril的笑声,而在“Girlfriend”的最后几个和声中她说甚至可以听到吹奏啤酒瓶的声音。
《The Best Damn Thing》这张专辑中有四首歌是Avril和她以前乐队的成员Evan Taubenfeld一起写的,分别是“Innocence”,“Hot”,“One of Those Girls”和“Contagious”,“Evan是我在这个世界上最好的朋友之一”,她非常亲切地说道,“他从第一天起就一直陪伴在我身边”。当然,所有这些轻快而充满能量的歌曲,将在计划中于今年晚些时候举行的现场演出中得到生命,Avril不仅为此组织了一支新的乐队还特地招募了两个伴舞(‘我甚至第一次被安排跳舞,’她笑着说,‘这绝对将是一个劲爆点’
