I don't understand how GL was a sell out for Avril. Apart from the label forced singles, it was her most un mainstream album, and the reason her popularity died.
AL was definitely her trying to get everyone to love her, but it doesn't feel sell outish to me. Everything but Hello Kitty seems natural to me.
