Date: December 12th, 2025 6:28 PM Author: mauve boltzmann personal credit line I don't know any Hole tunes. I'm going in now, now for the first time ever. I will review as I go.

they have 2 good songs: Violet and to a lesser degree Doll Parts, both of which were basically Kurt Cobain demos. |

Date: December 12th, 2025 6:33 PM Author: mauve boltzmann personal credit line Celebrity Skin this is my first spin ever swear to God. It sounds a lot like Nirvana. The melodies and songwriting overall aren't great. There is no chance I could ever remember this song in the future. It could never stick. Also Courtney's voice is annoying and I would never voluntarily listen to this again.
That being said the production is awesome. The guitar riff sounds huge as do the drums. I'm guessing this was done at Sound City? It sounds like it could have been tracked by the same people in the same place the minute they were done with Nevermind. It's got all the Nirvana hallmarks it's just worse. 4/10 |

"It's got all the Nirvana hallmarks it's just worse" made me lol because imo butch vig actually did ripoff a lot of corgan's sound to make nevermind which ended up way more popular |

Date: December 12th, 2025 6:39 PM Author: mauve boltzmann personal credit line Violet sucks there's too much yelling. This band would be bigger with a different singer. They have some cool riffs but Courtney's yelling ruins it. I really can't stand her vocals. They don't even seem connected to the song at all.

Date: December 12th, 2025 6:57 PM Author: mauve boltzmann personal credit line It's too poppy to be grunge though. If it were grunge the whole thing should be more tortured and darker, like Alice in Chains. Hole is like if Nirvana were reprised by Baby Metal. There's a point where you can't take it that seriously if that's what they intended. Take Bush who did tortured + pop but it was always tortured. Hole is not believable. It's inauthentic.

Date: December 12th, 2025 6:42 PM Author: mauve boltzmann personal credit line Doll Parts is OK but I hate Courtney's singing so much now I will never listen to this shit again. This band never should have let her be the frontman. This is wasted potential. Her vocals are the worst I've ever heard in my life. They could have gone a lot further with any other singer. Like literally anyone. This bitch cannot carry a tune. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5809638&forum_id=2/#49505585) |
