Pretty On The Inside is the definition of a raw album that seems
to be one giant clusterf*ck. It's clear that the band was more
or less just trying to write and put something down on tape.
Even with the wall of sound which is the best way I can describe
it, there are a couple of good songs here. I recently listened
to POTI a few months ago after a long hiatus. And to me it
seemed fresh and original coming back to it and so I gave it a
4-5 star rating I believe. But this time around, all the faults
have once again surfaced and certainly does not merit such a
generous rating.
Hole as a band has had a revolving door of bandmates throughout
it's career. The lineup here is anchored by Courtney Love
(Vocals, Rhythm Guitars), Eric Erlandson (Lead Guitar), Jill
Emery (Bass) and Caroline Rue (Drums).
Fave Songs: Teenage Wh*re and Babydoll
Album cover is what it is....a clusterf*ck. All over the place.

Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time
Live Through This at #466
[/CENTER]
Live Through This was released a mere 4 days after Kurt Kobain's
suicide. This is regarded as Hole's masterpiece. It's that good.
But I've always been torn between this one and Celebrity Skin as
being the best. The album is so good that even Rolling Stone
named it the best album of 1994, as well as later awarding it a
spot on their list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and
rightly so.
As mentioned before, the lineup is always changing. Only 2
(Courtney Love and Eric Erlandson) remain from Pretty On The
Inside. Taking over on Bass is Kristen Pfaff, who would later
OD. And on Drums is Patty Schemel.
Overall, Live Through This is a much stronger album and more
polished (while keeping it's edge) than that of their previous
effort. The music style is more along the lines of
Grunge/Alternative. The songs are full of hooks and melodies
that easily made them radio friendly. I highly recommend this to
anyone that is a fan of music. Even if you absolutely hate
Courtney for whatever reason, you owe it to yourself to at least
check it out and not just write it off because of all the
tabloid fodder that has followed her wherever she goes.
Fave Songs: Violet, Miss World, Plump, Asking For It, Doll
Parts, Credit In The Straight World and I Think That I Would Die
The album cover is an instant classic. Easily identifiable as a
Hole album. And for the back cover, that's a young Courtney
Love.

Listening again to Celebrity Skin, it's without a doubt my
favorite Hole album and the best of the bunch. It's even more
polished than that of Live Through This. Some would argue that
it's also their "sell out" album in that it was written with
radio in mind. Yes, it's got plenty of radio worthy singles. But
I certainly wouldn't fault them because of this. I absolutely
recommend Celebrity Skin. Check it out. You will not be
disappointed.
Once again, Courtney Love and Eric Erlandson are the only
returning band members on Celebrity Skin. Patty Schemel, the
drummer on the last record did help write the songs here. But
she left before recording began. The drum vacancy was filled in
by Samantha Maloney (Motley Crue) in an uncredited capacity.
Because Patty co-wrote the bulk of the album, she was given
credit as writer and "current" Hole member. And new to the band
on Bass was Melissa Auf der Maur. Billy Corgan (The Smashing
Pumpkins) plays Bass on Hit So Hard in an uncredited role.
Fave Songs: All of 'em. But there are so many great songs here
that it's really hard to pick a fave. So, I'll go with definite
MVP worthy songs, which include Hit So Hard, Reasons To Be
Beautiful and Use Once & Destroy. <--- Earworm. Listen to it
once and your hooked. So fuuucking good.
Album cover is meh.

Nobody's Daughter is Hole's first album in 12 years. But it's
only a Hole album in name only. Courtney Love is the only
returning member from any versions of the band. After her
disastrous solo album, my guess is that rather than trying to
rebrand herself, it was better to fall back into a brand name
that already worked for her...Hole. The biggest MIA here is that
of Erik Friedlander, who co-formed Hole along with Courtney. So
when she decided to resurrect the band without his involvement,
it got ugly with lawsuits, etc....
Now that that's out of the way, I will rate on what the album is
regardless of what the band name says or not. It's either a good
album or a sh*tty one. And that goes for anything I listen to.
As for Nobody's Daughter...it doesn't suck. But it's nowhere
near that of the past 2 albums. It suffers from an uneven track
list and a couple of songs should have been dropped all
together. Stylistically it harkens back to it's alternative
roots. It's not as pop-centric as Celebrity Skin.
Fave Songs: Someone Else's Bed and Letter To God

[center]Courtney Love will reunite Hole’s classic lineup in 2015
HTML http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/09/courtney-love-will-reunite-holes-classic-lineup-in-2015/
I never, ever thought in a million years that Courtney would
reunite the classic line-up. NEVER! So many things are going to
go wrong. I can feel it. I hope I am wrong, because I want to
see this work.
