Nobody's Daughter: Hole

[Jondalar]

Am I the only stoked about this album? I've heard the songs on youtube and I'm soo excited. My favorite song is Pacific Coast Highway. Finally, some real rock from a female singer.

[HejiraNYC]

I'm trying not to listen to any of it until I actually get it. I LURV me some Hole! Uh... so to speak. :o And I might be one of ten people who actually really loved her solo album. And... ugh... don't get me started on Celebrity Skin- perhaps one of the few albums from the 90's that could be considered "classic." If the new album is even 1/10 as good as CS, I will be thrilled!

I LOVED the solo album, and add Live Through This to the 90's "classics"

I've downloaded the demos of most of the songs (tracklisting and sample at holerock.net), and it's truly gonna be an amazing album. It's been compared by some critics to Hotel California by the Eagles and Patti Smith's Horses. Plus, Love said it was influenced by F-Mac (can't really hear it though, maybe Tusk).

[daniellaaarisen]

I think it's time for me to get into Hole.

[Jondalar]

Her solo album was pretty damm good. It wasn't as good as Hole's previous 2 albums, but those things are classics. I love Hold on to Me and Mono and the cover art was as cool as hell.

P.S. Pacific Coast Highway on the new album is my favorite. I can listen to that song all day. I also like Skinny Little Bitch (available on itunes). It freaking rocks.

[Phoenix]

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE HOLE! AND COURTNEY!!!! soo excited for this album.:thumbsup::blob2:

[BrokenHearted]

Here's a track-by-track review of the album.

Also, Stevie gets a mentions:

"'For Once In Your Life'
Mellow and reflective, even a little bit folky. And in waltz time. This is Courtney indulging her Stevie Nicks side. "

if you're serious about this, i'll finally get that toaster i've been hoping for.

[TrueFaith77]

i saw her perform one of her songs on youtube. she sounded ok, but I was like: when will she grow up?

she should be doing mr. morphine, not these petulant songs.

[skcin]

Love love love Hole. Miss them. I will have to check this out.

How about Sister Morphine?...


Well it just goes to show
Things are not what they seem
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast?
And that this shot will be my last

(Rolling Stones, "Sister Morphine" from Sticky Fingers)

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I'm still trying to let the "new" Pacific Coast Highway grow on me. I had been listening to the Linda Perry version for years and really grew to love it. The newly produced Hole version seems to lack some of the tenderness that was needed in this song. However, if I had never heard the old version I would probably say it's great.

I'm def. looking forward to the whole album, and I'm especially glad she left "Letter to God" alone and didn't redo it. I do wish one of my favorites from the Linda Perry sessions, "Car Crash", had made it - but never-the-less it seems like this is going to be a great album.

By the way, you can download "Samantha" (which I love), at this link for free:

Good interview you posted. Courtney is very coherent and honest. I think what she's saying about touring a lot of artists feel that, but won't necessarily admit it (like Stevie).

Is this supposed to be what is known as "heroin chic?"

[sparky]

My God.

This woman is incoherent, insufferable, and intolerable.

Why the hell is she not dead?

She made some good music years ago, and maybe she still can.
How can anyone care at this point?

If this bitch is sober in this interview I will eat every shoe I own. Pity the bullet was in Kurt's head and not hers.

What a waste of space. She's roadkill.

you're such a romantic.

[tilthefirefades]

I just feel sad for her in this interview. No matter what was going on with her and Kurt at the time of his death, it still affected her in a very obvious way, that would affect anyone for the rest of their lives. I would never wish death upon anyone, especially a very gifted song-writer such as Courtney. Live Through This is an incredible album, and a centerpiece of 90's alternative rock. I will always have a respect for her, and Hole, because I grew up listening to them. I am very excited about this album, even if she is apparently a very troubled person.

I completely agree with this, even in real life, most people I know who have lost a significant have never truly recovered...they're never the same people that they were and a few of them would be considered a bit "nuts". So I can totally sympathize with Courtney's behavior in the glare of that publicity spotlight. That being said, I've always enjoyed her music, it speaks to that angry girl inside me...her lyrics and music blend beautifully... and gotta love that she remains a "Stevie fan" not morphing into a Stevie friend like Sheryl...

I'm enjoying the new album. I just ordered it, it's my first album purchase since "Crystal Visions".

I also have always enjoyed courtneys music. its so damn honest. I also grew up listening to "live though this" and "celebrity skin" those two albums were perfect for the times in my life that i had them. and now at this time i could use a lil courtney love music mark the time also. it seems comforting to me in a way that i can still get excited for a new HOLE album.

If you like Courtney, you will WANT to see this. Hole (Micko and Courtney) did an acoustic AOL Sessions and it just was posted today. The two best performances in my opinion were "Honey" and "Someone Else's Bed," both from the upcoming album. There are 3 other performances, but these were my favs.

You must check them out, Courtney really gave her all vocally and emotionally.

I'm surprised to have actually laughed at one of your posts :)

Celebrity Skin rocks out! I am looking forward to hearing the new Hole album, It was originally going to be a Courtney solo album but that seems to have changed. Perhaps the powers that be thought they could sell more copies and gather more interest in a Hole release rather than a Courtney Love release. Either way, I'm excited about it.

Even though Courtney is the only original member, it does seem like more of a band rather than a solo album under a band name. The new guitarist Micko Larkin produced a lot of the new songs with the same producer that produced Celebrity Skin..He seems to be pretty talented and they seem to connect pretty well.

According to CLove the idea to reform Hole came from the fact that so much negativity was associated with the brand name "Courtney Love" that "Hole" more about the music and less about the tabloid mess.

Well, Best Buy will have it for $7.99. I may give it a try.

[iamnotafraid]

Courtney will be on the Letterman show tomorrow night I believe (if not Tues,
check Wed.). It has her listed as a guest and musical performer, so who knows?

[Jondalar]

I'm really upset right now. I purchased Nobody's Daughter and they changed Pacific Coast Highway. They ruined it—totally!

[jenniferuk]

Just saw that Courtney and Hole will be on The View tomorrow.

[LikeAWillow]

I just got the album, but I'm waiting until a friend comes over sometime around eleven tonight to give it a spin. We're excited to relive our middle and high school angst.

[Phoenix]

Been playing it all day. ahhhh HOLE:thumbsup: I never tire of her despeate pleas for love, or the way she channels hopelessness into angst. when she goes from whisper to scream i FEEL it. "Pacific coast highway" and "Honey" are my favs. Well done Courtney and co.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
