Posted January 3, 201015 yr Courtney is back! Despite recording most of this herself, she announced in June that it'd be released as her original band Hole, and finally it's scheduled for a March 2010 release date, albeit without Auf de Maur & Eric (though it seems Courtney and Melissa are on good terms, it doesn't seem so with Eric, he even said the band can't return without him. SO looking forward to this, a Love/Hole comeback has been far too long in the making imo. "Celebrity Skin" and "America's Sweetheart" are two of my favourite albums :wub:
January 3, 201015 yr I liked a lot of their older stuff, 'Celebrity Skin' (the song) is one of my all-time favourites and the Live Through This album is excellent. Hope this is good...
January 3, 201015 yr Really liked the 1st three Hole albums ut thought her solo album was poor. I'll be hearing before buying
January 11, 201015 yr Can't wait for this! I love Courtney and all things related really. 'Mono' is f***ing legendary.
January 12, 201015 yr It seems like this is just a Courtney solo album but using the name Hole.. I really hate it when this sort of thing happens, Billy Corgan tried to make us think that Smashing Pumpkins were any good without James Iha and D'arcy (the resulting album out of that was rather poor indeed..), and Axl Rose tried to make us think that without Duff, Izzy, Steve or Slash, that Guns N Roses could exist..... By and large, when a band's gone, it should stay gone, especially when you get the situation where at least half the members of the band aint gonna be part of it.... I am very, very doubtful about this tbh.....
January 12, 201015 yr yeah im thinking this will be awful. tbh most of Hole's stuff isnt that great anyway, and i'm pretty sure Scott is right, it's basically gonna be a Courtney solo album under the name Hole.
April 22, 201015 yr Solo album or not I have to say I think it's actually pretty decent on 1st listen. Sounds somewhere between Live Through This and Celebrity Skin in style. Pacific Coast highway is a good option for the next single
April 22, 201015 yr This has completely passed me by... I did like Celebrity Skin though so I ought to give it a go. Which tracks should I begin with Mr Severin?
April 22, 201015 yr This has completely passed me by... I did like Celebrity Skin though so I ought to give it a go. Which tracks should I begin with Mr Severin? Well I'm currently going with the aforementioned Pacific Coast Highway, Someone Else's Bed and Letter To God. If you want something rockier try Skinny Little Bitch or Samantha. The more I listen to this album the more I'm reminded of Marianne Faithful's Broken English album
May 16, 201015 yr Always loved Hole, i own Live Through This & Celebrity Skin, bought the new one last week, and i think it's as good as the previous two.
