What happened to rock goddess Courtney Love? She helped launch the riot grrl movement with L7 and Bikini Kill - and now she puts out an album that can easily get played between Madonna and Celine Dion on the adult contemporary stations. Sure enough, the other day when I was changing stations, I heard 'Malibu' on the local soft rock station. This totally lacks the intensity or emotion of Hole's early albums. The best songs on this album are actually not even as good as the worst songs on Live Through This. And don't even get me started on how trite the lyrics are! In short, if you like Madonna, Celine Dion or other soft rock artists, you will probably love Hole's new album. Anyone who bought and enjoyed Hole's first two albums should definitely avoid this like the plague. It's innocuous, bland and tame - the antithesis of what Hole was initially all about.
