Not entirely, but I don't think those kinds of songs are really Avril's strong suit. Wacking great choruses is where she comes into her own for me and I can't think of anyone in pop right now who even comes close to her on that front. If she has any real claim to pop greatness, I'd say it's with songs like 'He Wasn't', 'I Always Get What I Want' and 'What the Hell' rather than the more lyric-heavy stuff like 'I'm with You'. (Although I do love that song, too).
