 Celebrity Skin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Celebrity Skin is Hole's third and final album, released on September 8, 1998 in the United States, and September 7, 1998 in the rest of the world.
The songs were written by the band, some with the help of Billy Corgan.
The title of the album derives from the American magazine Celebrity Skin, who reportedly threatened legal action about the use of their name.

 Popular Music and Society: Celebrity Skin. - sound recording review
Apart from Schemel's disappointment with Celebrity Skin, there have been other criticisms, many of which have focused on Love's recently acquired celebrity status and the effects this change has had on the band and their music.
Celebrity Skin's cover--depicting the band standing in front of burning palm trees in Malibu -- represents the band's emergence from the ashes of personal and professional losses.
Certainly, Celebrity Skin--which was produced by Michael Beinhorn--sounds much different from Hole's days as one of the premier bands on the independent Caroline Records label.

 Salon Entertainment Music Feature: Listen through this
"Celebrity Skin" isn't as deeply affecting as "Live Through This," but it's easier to like: The lyrics cut deep, but the pop-metal edge of the songs is what reels you in.
One of the great virtues of "Celebrity Skin" is that it's not a showy record, not a blatant "fuck you" to all those who wondered -- buying wholeheartedly into that ancient sexist canard -- if "Live Through This" wasn't really a Cobain record instead of a Love record.
When she sings, "And oh, they've bought and sold it all, it's gone/They've taken it and built a mall/And now they're playing your song," there's both mother-bear protectiveness and wrath in her voice, echoed by the song's spiky guitars.

Celebrity Skin's self-titled EP of 1990 wasn't bad, but it was with the full-length album Good Clean Fun that the band really started to excel.
The title says it all -- Celebrity Skin's main goal was to have fun, and the rockers have lots of it on this consistently engaging release.

CELEBRITY SKIN is packed from beginning to end with up-tempo, hard rock gems that show Love's strength and direction as a songwriter.
CELEBRITY SKIN was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.
Ultimately, this album lacks the visceral power and anger of Live Through This, but at the same time, that is the album's best trait.

 CNN - Review: Hole flaunts survival with polished 'Celebrity Skin' - September 4, 1998
While she was working on the songs for that album, she was half of rock's ultimate power couple, but her husband was plagued by depression and heroin addiction.
Love's little-known first album, which was the musical equivalent of scrubbing one's eardrums with sandpaper, was called "Pretty on the Inside." This time, she wavered over a title before settling on "Celebrity Skin." The choice says a lot about what has changed, and what never will.
Hole's "Celebrity Skin" releases September 8 on the David Geffen Company Records label.

 RollingStone.com: Celebrity Skin : Hole : Review
Celebrity Skin – an album about fame, beauty, life and their opposites – is Hole's passionate response.
Hole are immediately in your face with the cheese-metal riffs and cuddly dissolves of "Celebrity Skin," a track full of cloudless energy that seems to explode the malaise that has surrounded Love since husband Kurt Cobain's death.
On "Reasons to Be Beautiful," Hole recapture the Los Angeles of X, the first punk band to burlesque the downside of L.A. "Miles and miles of perfect skin," Love sings, "I swear I do, I fit right in." But as much as she loves a boho band like X, Love lives for grand gesture.

 Celebrity Skin
Billy Corgan co-wrote five of the twelve songs on Celebrity Skin, and the minimalist "Dying," the album's sixth track, is the most obviously Corganesque.
If Live Through This was her wife-and-mother album, Celebrity Skin is her widow-and-star album.
Serves me right for only listening on the surface, because Hole's new album is secretly every bit as subversive and ornery as previous, earbleed albums like Pretty on the Inside and Live Through This.

 Amazon.com: Celebrity Skin: Music
Only a few songs (Celebrity Skin, Reasons to be Beautiful, Northern Song) manage to hold some depth to them, and showcase the power and evocative qualities of her voice.
Abandoning the grunge/alternative sound in favor of a glossy, popish one, Hole released their third album "Celebrity Skin" in the fall of 1998.
What makes Celebrity Skin more than another good rock album, however, is Love's lyrics, which remain confessional and scathing, addressing such topics as physical abuse ("Hit So Hard"), drugs ("Use Once and Destroy"), the music industry ("Awful," "Boys on the Radio"), and her late husband's suicide ("Reasons to Be Beautiful").

 Celebrity Skin - Hole
She begins to throw in not-so-subtle references to her late husband that are evident from merely picking up the album and reading the song names.
        The song "Celebrity Skin" is not impressive or even obviously self-mocking.
A slow, dramatic song, it depends on the LA Woman's escalating vocals to create the foam on the emotional tidal wave.

 SECTION 3 - hole "celebrity skin"
In all fairness to Billy, some songs on the album Celebrity Skin does have some Pumpkins flavor to it, but in fairness to Courtney most songs on the album weren't written by Billy, nor do they sound anything like Billy's writing style.
The new Hole album, Celebrity Skin was poised to be released.
This album took me a few listens to get into it, and most of the songs are throwaway tracks in my opinion, but there IS enough here to appease the masses (and loyal Hole fans as well).

 Review of Hole's 'Celebrity Skin'
The main reason for the ultimate sense of disappointment regarding Celebrity Skin is that Hole demonstrate that they are a band capable of some excellent music.
"Celebrity Skin" has a cool guitar riff, but apart from that is pretty repititive.
Never is this better captured than in the title track which, incidentally, is also the opener.

 Hole - Celebrity Skin Music Review
Until I saw the cover photo on her long-awaited new release Celebrity Skin, I was afraid we'd lost the Courtney we love.
Both of GarbageÕs albums are a better investment than ÒCelebrity Skin.Ó ThatÕs the way it is, I just canÕt Holeheartedly recommend it.
Next." Love's lyrics are the same sort of "Dread and Bitter" that made Live Through This so intense; but the songs on Skin stay within such an innocuous Pop formula, that her trademark verbal bile seems far less genuine.

 Armchair DJ: Music Review: Hole: Celebrity Skin
Thus "Celebrity Skin," Hole's long-awaited third album, completes the musical makeover that began with 1994's breakthrough "Live Through This." "Live" abandoned the Sonic Youth-derived noise of 1991's vituperative "Pretty on the Inside" in favor of a more polished anger and moments of genuine prettiness.
Songs like "Reasons to be Beautiful" and the title track combine the pristine production and artful guitar noise of late-'80s hair metal with the hummable melodies of the Mamas and the Papas, Fleetwood Mac and - yes - the Smashing Pumpkins at their orchestral best.
Abandoning cynicism for a perilous kind of hope, this is an album that dares you to look past its Versace gown and accept the contradictions inside.

 Hole: Celebrity Skin Aversion.com Review
Like a group of teenagers outgrowing their isolation and teen angst, Hole’s new sound plays more on the band’s songwriting and musical abilities than the simple rants and stripped-down arrangements found on earlier albums.
Gone are the songs sounding more like aborted attempts at eighth-grade poetry, replaced by straight-from-the-heart, emotive lyrics.
With a much higher pop quotient than the band’s previous albums, Celebrity Skin features cleaned-up arrangements giving the band’s songs an added dimension of power.

"Celebrity Skin," the new album from Hole, is an intensely personal, hook-laden rock record filled with swirling guitars and sumptuous harmonics.
The album's 12 songs were inspired by the state of California--it's Hollywood glamour, history, politics, and musical past.

 AudioRevolution.com CD Review Hole CELEBRITY SKIN
'Celebrity Skin'--the album not the magazine who is suing the band for using its name--is awful and there's simply no other way to put it.
On this latest release Courtney Love, who's never known for profound and intelligent lyrics, demonstrates a continued prowess for talking loud and saying next to nothing.
Unfortunately, sometimes, all that damn media hype works and you buy a bad album.

 All-Reviews.com Music Review: Celebrity Skin by Hole
It has flashes of brilliance, notably the title track, a supercharged marriage of chunky power chords and girl group hooks, which was probably the best rock song of '98.
Her pretentious lyrics don't benefit from the added attention the slower songs give them and are just as annoying as her public persona.
Some argued that she must have had considerable help from her musical genius spouse.
