![]() ![]() Travis Barker’s drum performances on these tracks, while endlessly impressive, become stale and repetitive towards the end, and the heavy compression of these tracks can make them feel claustrophobic – almost suffocating. Love Sux hits its targets far more often than its predecessor, but while it may be a return to her roots, it’s still not quite a return to form. Tracks like lead single “Bite Me” stand out as some of the angriest, loudest songs of her career. Buoyed by classic pop-punk deference to power chords and the exhilarating drumming of Travis Barker, Love Sux brings the energy up to a 10 almost immediately and rarely turns it down across the album’s 33 minutes. ![]() You can say what you want about Lavigne’s follow-up Love Sux, but boring it certainly is not. While her previous ballad-heavy album certainly had its moments, and offered an impressive showcase of Lavigne’s power-house vocals at its worst it was something Lavigne’s music up until that point had never been – boring.
