well I have picked up the new album and have listened to it once through all the way. Some songs more than once. There is definitely the "commercial" feel to some of the songs. You can easily put Avril in as a standby and it would "sound" like Avril. What hasn't changed though is her lyrics. While not all of her songs have the ultimate edgy feel to them, most songs (on all of her albums) definitely have the Liz Phair flair.
At this point the two songs I like the most from her new album are "Rock Me" and "H.W.C".
"Rock Me" because it has the best of being a commercial song but has the edgy-ness that her other albums have.
"H.W.C." is great because who else could get away with singing a song about needing cum as if she would wither up and die without it?
It took me a little while to warm up to whitechoc.... but there came a moment when the song's from that album found their place. It may take a while longer to have the new song's find their place but for me there is still enough of the old to make the new fresh and exciting.
