Avril Lavigne's new album, The Worst Damn Thing, was released this Tuesday.

Unfortunately for the pop/punk poseur, the record failed to get much respect from music critics.

It was met with a spattering of indifference, faint praise and downright indignation.

Here's a sampling of some of the reviews!

- From The Edmonton Journal:

"Lavigne's third album is fun, boisterous -- and downright embarrassing at times. Just like our teen years. While Lavigne is easily one of the strongest and most versatile singers in pop -- she channels Alanis Morissette, Edie Brickell and Dolores O'Riordan on her latest collection -- she's too flexible when it comes to her artistic principles. She tries to convey an image of girl power on The Best Damn Thing, yet she ends up coming off like a brainless hypocrite. Wasn't she supposed to be the antidote to Britney Spears? Despite her talents, she doesn't care what she sings about or what image she portrays. Nor does Lavigne seem to care about her live gigs. Did you see her flat performance on Saturday Night Live? She's definitely one of the worst damn things to hit the stage in the last five years."

- From The Florida Sun-Sentinel:

"On The Best Damn Thing, Lavigne comes off more like a follower than a leader. It's a consciously lightweight pop-punk romp that appears to have been inspired by Since U Been Gone, Kelly Clarkson's hit.

- From The New York Times:

"As an album "The Best Damn Thing" is too relentless to be heard end to end. Its songs are expected to bring occasional jolts to a playlist. The single "Girlfriend," is the best, using cleverly manipulated echoes and attacks to sound as if Ms. Lavigne were charging in from all directions, and it makes most of the other songs sound redundant, though still perky. She hedges her bets with a few power ballads; her next career move will apparently be along the lines of Shania Twain. But for now she's trying to blast her way back onto a few million high schoolers' iPods."
