Goodbye Lullaby was, dare I say it, a "risky" album. She knew she needed to quick work with someone like Max Martin to ensure it didn't flop, but she basically did whatever she pleased with it. Avril knows what to do and how to do it.
I think this time she's coming for a more universally enjoyable album.

She was pretty much held in a choke-hold by RCA until she worked with Max. The girl sure as hell didn't do as she pleased - if that were the case we'd have received the record in 2009.
Goodbye Lullaby is 100% Avril's work and what she wanted minus the Max tracks, I think
So 75% what she wanted, though let's not forget the price she paid for sticking to her guns as long as she could. I maintain that the era did not go as Avril wanted to. Her reluctance to embrace What the Hell as a part of the album and her general lack of enthusiasm during promotion and touring points to that.
Red reminds me a bit of Goodbye Lullaby, a bunch of uptempo Max Martin tracks stuck on an otherwise (mostly) acoustic and more intimate album. The difference is he gave much better material to Taylor and she clearly was on board with it.

I was literally thinking the same thing... I am really excited for Avril to reclaim.
