Hole – Celebrity Skin

Celebrity Skin — an album about fame, beauty, life and their opposites — is Hole’s passionate response. It’s sprung, flung and fun, high-impact, rock-fueled pop with the body and flexibility of really good hair. Hole are immediately in your face with the cheese-metal riffs and cuddly dissolves of “Celebrity Skin,” a track full of cloudless energy that seems to explode the malaise that has surrounded Love since husband Kurt Cobain’s death. “If the world is so wrong,” Love insists next on “Awful,” “Yeah, you can break them all/With one song.”
