HOLE'S newest CD CELEBRITY SKIN is every bit as tough as LIVE THROUGH THIS, despite the much balayhooed metamorphisis of lead singer COURTNEY LOVE from punk to model/actress.The first cut, CELEBRITY SKIN, blisters with the same anger of any earlier work, only slightly more melodic.HIT SO HARD and REASONS TO BE BEAUTIFUL sort of lay there, but on the "hole" the Cd is filled with rockers like MALIBU, USE ONCE AND DESTROY and NORTHERN STAR ( which is sooo reminiscent of PIECES OF JENNIFERS BODY).BOYS ON RADIO & HEAVEN TONIGHT are more girl- group radio friendly.Easily the most musically ambitious song, at least for HOLE, on this cd is PLAYING YOUR SONG. But it ends on the lackluster PETALS. Overall, on heavy rotation in my CD collection!
