Genre: Rock
Places I remember: Hope collection
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Celebrity Skin
Gear costume: Dying
Active compensatory factors: Third album by this grunge band fronted by Courtney Love, and it's a more mature sound - less grunge. Ironically, that's possibly the influence of Billy Corgan (main man of prog band Smashing Pumpkins) who is heavily involved a number of the songs (Love writes all the lyrics though).

It's all okay but it would have been a five-star effort if it had all had the quality of the opening song - the title track. The rest is good, but nothing spectacular.
Courtney Love has a good voice for alt-rock and Hole has certainly been a very successful band, this album was nominated for some Grammy Awards.
It's always hard to separate the tabloid Courtney from the rock star Courtney. Is she a nice person? Discuss.
Where do they all belong? I have no great desire to collect other albums by Hole.
