Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0720642463123 Label: Fontana Geffen Manufacturer: Fontana Geffen MPN: 24631 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Fontana Geffen Release Date: April 12, 1994 Studio: Fontana Geffen Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This whole album is filled with scathing fury, mostly directed at the impossible situation that confronts women when they are asked to be both wild sources of pleasure and unblemished mother figures. Live Through This uses the same recipe of punk and metal wrapped around pop melodies that made Nirvana so captivating, but Hole uses the methodology in a more conventional manner. The metal ingredient tends to dominate, perhaps because it's the simplest to master, and too often the album resembles early Heart or late Joan Jett--particularly when Courtney Love opens up with her big, wailing voice. Love externalizes her anger, blaming all her problems on the rest of the world. Self-confrontation makes for far more interesting songs. --Geoffrey Himes Average Rating:
 Rating:  - An essential and epic time capsuleWatch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2BMQPTYB4W189 My name is Jeremy Gloff. I am a musician (check me out on Amazon!) and retro music enthusiast. If you enjoyed this review make sure to check out my Amazon user profile to check out my other reviews. I am always up for making new friends and discussing the music I love!!! Rating: - Her bestThis CD is the best Hole as to offer in my opinion. The songs are a bit more grunge/alt inspired and less polished than later offerings and the lyrics are less indulgent and more real. Fame changed Love and her writing suffered for it. Also, the label definately had a hand in her latter releases after Live Through This did so well. She sounds better as an unpolished, grunge rocker than an label-stamped prom queen in my estimation. Good thing we have this CD. Rating:  - GrunkThis is a pretty good album and which I've described as "grunk" in the header because it fuses grunge music with some pretty punk sounding tracks/guitars. Usually I review albums after listening to them on a pretty good set of headphones, which is what I've done here. Gave the album 3/5 based on that. But having listened to it over loudspeakers, it could perhaps warrant an extra half a star. Which is to say that maybe loudspeakers do this album more justice than headphones do. ...

I found them before I ever heard of Hole or Courtney or anything, and way before I ever heard there were questions about Kurt's death, I ended up finding about Courtney having been his wife and how awesome her band was, and etc. Now, having been into Nirvana--and music as a whole--for several years now, I've had the time to read everything I could find about Kurt and Courtney, and I do have to side with the murder theorists in that, there has got to be something she isn't ...

The words are great, the songs stick in your head and Hole are underated. I have heard this album so many times over the years and never got sick of it. Courtney is more creative than many realise. |
