Hole - Live Through This CD

Brand new, still sealed.

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 often the album resembles early Heart or late Joan Jett--particularly when Courtney Love opens up with her big, wailing voice.
