OK, what happened? Supposedly this album was difficult to make for Hole. That's somewhat surprising, considering how predictable and, well, boring all the material in Celebrity Skin is. It seems Hole has morphed into pop/rock, which could have been great. All artists evolve. But what Hole seems to have evolved into is yet another generic pop group with a sexy sounding singer complete with guitars and drums. Don't get me wrong; Petals, Celebrity Skin, and other select songs still have a bit of that old Hole punch, but the rest sounds all alike. Granted, Hole isn't yet on par with *shudder* Britney Spears, but they have gone down on quality.
