Fuck yeah!!1111!!!!!one!!!

hooray

THANK FUCK Now all we need is for them to *accidentally* leak a few songs, iv'e myspace messaged cone alot, but to no success, this just made my day though

[Jeremy Kill]

The album could leak any time now until March. I have no integrity in me whatsoever. If it leaks, I'm all over that like butter on toast.

For some reason I keep picturing the album artwork to be like a black and white silent movie with the whole ragtime/Charlie Chaplin thing going on, just by looking at those old cars they were taking photos with. That's assuming they're still going to use those photos for the artwork.

I keep imagining their music video for the piano ballad(if it will get a music video)..
Deryck behind a piano.. in a dark room.. all in black.. still wearing his sunglasses.. and a couple of shots outside of that dark room with Steve, Cone and Tom

Finally! Now just wait for something new leaks and how much is the probability that we have something new in these days or weeks?

It would probably be wishful thinking to hope for the 12-minute song being released/leaked this month, but now that the album is complete, there's always a possibility. I wonder if Universal Japan is going to do that 45 second preview of each song again like they did with Underclass Hero? I'm not sure if I'd download that if that were to happen. It kind of ruined Underclass Hero for me.

December 7, 2010 – Two years in the making, singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne's fourth studio album, Goodbye Lullaby, will be released by RCA Records on March 8, 2011. Lavigne will debut the first single "What the Hell" on New Year's Eve during "Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve."

Lavigne worked with longtime collaborators Deryck Whibley, Evan Taubenfeld and Butch Walker, as well as songwriter/producer Max Martin. Lavigne continues to share her personal experiences through her writing and music, and Goodbye Lullaby is a further evolution of this, propelled by a more raw and organic sound.

Among its upbeat tracks are "What the Hell," an unabashed embrace of fun and freedom, and "Stop Standing There," fueled by an early-‘50s girl-group feel. The album runs the gamut of emotions: Lavigne expresses her gratitude for special people in her life in the rocker "Smile," explores the dynamics of a relationship in "Push," shows her vulnerable side in "Wish You Were Here," and finds the strength to close one chapter of her life and move on to the next in the title track "Goodbye."

Not much of an Avril Lavigne fan but I'm probably gonna check out 'Goodbye'

Well this is interesting. News is coming up fast, first PATD announce their release date and single, now Sum's album is mastered, and now info on Avril. Good things should be happening this month!!

Good to hear. Deryck's songwriting is the reason I look forward to this album release.

You're insane and you belong in an asylum!

I'm also quite disappointed there's more information on Avril's album in that little blurb than there is in this entire thread about the songs on Screaming Bloody Murder! Though, that might be a tad exaggerated.

I don't think it was an exaggeration

“I pushed myself and didn’t hold back,” Lavigne says of Goodbye Lullaby for which she wrote or co-wrote every song, and wrote and produced two — “4 Real” and “Goodbye” — entirely on her own. “I allowed myself to be vulnerable. I think it’s during the real moments that people can relate the most. Those who have heard the album have had very strong emotional reactions to the songs, so I realized that when something is so real, it will probably touch somebody. The beauty of music is that it’s open to interpretation.”

Written at various stages over the past few years, Goodbye Lullaby is filled with appealingly relatable, heartfelt songs that convey a variety of emotions and reflect a bittersweet mood not generally associated with Lavigne’s best-known tunes. Except for the anthemic first single, the irresistibly feisty “What The Hell” and “Smile,” which create a perfect bridge from her previous work, the remainder of Goodbye Lullaby finds Lavigne exploring what it means to push through the tough times and emerge stronger for it — a theme apparent on songs like “Everybody Hurts,” “Push,” “Remember When,” and “Wish You Were Here.”

“Overall, the album is about how we all go through difficult experiences, whether it’s ending a relationship, losing a job, or just missing someone,” Lavigne says. “We get through it and we grow.” Nowhere is this feeling better expressed than on “Goodbye,” a delicate piano-and-string ballad that closes out the album. “’Goodbye’ is the most raw and vulnerable track I’ve ever written and recorded in my career,” Lavigne says. “It’s a very special song because I wrote and produced it myself. It’s so real and truthful. You can’t fake that.”

Goodbye Lullaby’s intensity is balanced out by its instrumentation: bright, rich textures of acoustic guitar and piano, as well as an orchestra on “Darlin’,” “Remember When,” and “Goodbye.” Through it all, from the upbeat pop tracks to the mellower ballads, Lavigne’s voice is front and center, summoning up and soaring easily through the emotion that her lyrics require.

“This album is all about me being a singer, a songwriter, and a musician,” Lavigne says. “Typically the lead vocal gets buried in the track and you can’t always hear the quality, character, or emotion after a certain point. I wanted my voice to be the main instrument. It forced me to really throw myself out there. I still love rocking out, but I wanted this record to show a different side. That’s why I produced some of the songs myself, which I never thought I’d do.”

For the rest of the album’s tracks, Lavigne turned to her longtime friends and collaborators Evan Taubenfeld and Butch Walker, as well as Max Martin. Another important influence was Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley, who lends his production skills to several tracks, including “Darlin’,” — a song Lavigne wrote at the age of 14. “Whenever I hear ‘Darlin,’ I think of the family room I wrote it in and playing it for my mom,” she says. “So it’s really special for me to have it on the album.”

[Lars]

Alright so, her albums is more about the break-up than Sum 41's is, right?

Or at least about 'breaking up' in general.

[Heather]

who knows with her. She's acting like two different people the LA bimbo and the mature singer/songwriter. Av has usually written about relationships more than D anyways. I'm happy his songs are on there, but hate that most of it will be about him. And that it will most likely come before SBM, even though D spent a lot of time on it

[Lars]

Yeah I don't know, I did listen to her songs a couple of years a go. Like with the Under My Skin album, but it didn't go much further.

I'll probably check it out, but I won' freak out if it leaked.

[FuckT41182]

Avril used to be special ...now she is just another one in the crowd
