Goodbye pop thrills! Hello angry damsel! Even though Mr Moody (what an apt name) isn’t involved in this particular track, the shadow of overblown whinge-pop looms large. ‘Happy Ending’ is an Alanis Morissette tune in all but name. It’s nowhere near as good as Avril’s uber-ballad ‘I’m With You’ from her last album, and it’s the sort of gritted teeth ‘everything’s-rubbish-now-cos-you’re-gone-you-bastard’ pap that gives us girls a bad name and makes us all look like a bunch of depressive bunny boilers.
But at the same time, it’s really quite catchy, impressively pompous and enjoyably over-stated. How confusing.

Plus, ... what I like about this site is that you feature many small bands, that do not get the chance to be promoted through TV or radio. Avril does have heavy marketing behind her, .. and, most of all, her music is not worth to be mentioned on here!

Avril Lavigne - Happy Ending
I think her last album had a lot of the energy of someone trying to be or do something in it. This album, I think she's just given up w/ trying to get something (It's apparently not pleasing the ones she wants to please), and just started doing what was real, and what was her.
And as much as I still dislike her voice, that 'Happy Ending' song has gotten to me. Even if it is slighty tacky. It's real.
I mean, face it: You can't tell the blunt truth w/o being tacky.
You just can't.
So I'll admit it, as much as I don't like her music, when that song comes on the radio...
Yes, I do turn it up a bit.

Ben Moody though.. hawhahaha. If his surname reflects her second album perfectly ie. 'moody' with a capital 'Shite', then let's hope she starts working with a banjo player called Constance Imminent-Death.
