Under My Skin, Avril Lavigne's second album, came out on Arista in May 2004, and it's the sound of the skater-girl from Let Go turning moodier and heavier. She wrote most of it with Chantal Kreviazuk, recording many of the songs at the Malibu home studio Kreviazuk shared with her husband Raine Maida, who produced along with Don Gilmore and Butch Walker.
The guitars are thicker, the choruses darker, and Lavigne's voice has an edge that the teen-pop crowd hadn't heard from her. "Don't Tell Me" and "Take Me Away" are the churning, stormy heart of it. Some critics were lukewarm at the time, but it debuted at number one in Canada and on the Billboard 200, sold over 10 million copies worldwide, and has since been hailed as a pop-punk touchstone that pointed the way to emo pop.
