I know why thay named the song awful.

Nope. Not a single song.

Hard to separate the artist from the person they are. Even without that dilemma the music just isn't very good. Her voice grates on you for nearly an hour.

This is not one of the 1000 albums you should listen to before you die. Every listen, every stream, pays the person who had Kurt Cobain killed. She is a garbage human, and does not deserve to be listened to, she deserves to be imprisoned for life.

Overproduced late 90s alt rock garbage. Major letdown after the great Riot Grrl of Live Through This.

Never liked Hole, don't like Courtney or her voice.

Extremely mid

Hole aren't good.

This one was a drag for me. Sounded like very little effort went into it. Was on the last song before realizing it was Courtney Love. Didn't change anything though. I've heard her name but don't know much about her. Music just didn't connect though

Too evil. 1/5

I don't think this album knows what it wants to be. Too overproduced to be grunge. Too grimy to be California pop. It's a chaotic mess which basically describes Courtney Love most of the time.

This album marked a departure from Hole’s earlier grunge sound towards a more pop-oriented and polished style. The only enjoyable aspect of "Celebrity Skin" is the production, which was helmed by Michael Beinhorn and mixed by Scott Litt. The album is filled with glossy guitar riffs and catchy hooks that grab your attention from time to time. The songs are well arranged with layered instrumentation but the vocal performance from Courtney Love ruin a lot of the experience. A good example of this is the album's title track, "Celebrity Skin," a standout hit from the album but Courtney Love's trademark snarl over the punchy guitar riff just puts you completely off. With this album the band unfortunately abandoned their roots in grunge and whilst the album's production save it slightly, it’s not enough to avoid a 1 star here.

Straight trash. If I could give negative stars to this, I would.

Did not enjoy.

She had Kurt killed.

One hit wonder.

Punk pedorro de los 90, con mucha estructura pop. Todos los temas tienen la misma instrumentación, los mismos pasajes de batería. Mediocre a morir.

Weak, soft rock with female vocalist, that sounds like Garbage, but are actully rubbish. Jack Sharkey will probably like them.

fuck u courtney, only the title track is good and the rest is just a reiteration

I wouldn't listen to this if you paid me. Courtney Love is trash. (And a murderer).

It looks like Courtney Love could be a contender for the 1001 best fucks in the world, but I'm not sure why this album is here.

Meh, not really my thing.

Kolejna dziura na liscie, jak zawsze nie zawodzi, mialkosc tego albumu jest nawet wieksza niz na live throught this, oba albumy dziela 4 lata roznicy, a czas ten nie byl zmarnowany przez bande, ktora odeszla od grania garazowego i punkerskiego darcia mordy, na rzecz alternatywnego rokowania w najbardziej popowym odcieniu, pojawiaja sie nawet chorkowania, sklad bandy pozostal niezmienny, ale tym razem kto inny pomogl w pisaniu songow, bo pan kobajn juz dawno gryzl ziemie, to na pomoc pani courtney przyszedl kolejny kuk, tym razem byl to billy corgan, znany chocby z the smashing pumpkins, nie wiem z ktorej strony celebrity skin ma miec w sobie cos unikalnego, jakosciowego, artystycznego, ze znalazl sie na liscie, ale wydaje mi sie, ze autor listy musial byc mocnym fangejem bandy lub kolejnym kukiem od love, tym razem to juz chyba ostatni raz zegnam sie z hole, bo trzeci album grupy juz nie osiagnal znaczacego sukcesu komercyjnego, no ale wydany ponad dekade po ostatnim, wiec to album kombekowy raczej, a z takim brzmieniem ciezko o kombek w tak zmieniacej sie nurcie muzyki popularnej, na plejce laaduje kawalek napisany przez pana erlandsona, ktory jest jedynym meskim pierwiastkiem w tej babskiej bandzie, to jest northern star

It felt like I was suffocating my ears with nonsense. It's just guitars playing chords with a drum set and sometimes a bass. And there's a singer there too. There's no substance in the album. The only songs I enjoyed were the acoustic ones, and it's because it was only the singer contributing to the mediocrity.

Vapid girlboss charisma-vacuum 1.1

Liked it when it was current, hasn't aged well.

Mulher do kurt ..

RIP Kurt Cobain
