About this album
Celebrity Skin is the third studio album by the American rock band Hole, released worldwide by Geffen Records on September 7, 1998 and one day later in the United States. Similarly to vocalist and guitarist Courtney Love’s refined image during this era, the sound of the album itself moved away from Hole’s harder alternative rock past and toward a cleaner and more radio friendly pop rock format.
It was Hole’s most commercially succesful album, garnering them a #1 hit single on the Modern Rock Tracks chart with the title track. Critical reaction to the album was largely positive, though not as universally so as the band’s previous record, Live Through This.
Courtney Love penned all of the lyrics and the music was written by the band. Some songs were co-authored by Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan. The studio work took almost a year and a half, due to Love’s rising movie career, fruitless recording attempts in New Orleans and Nashville in 1997, Corgan’s involvement in songwriting and the actual album sessions, between Los Angeles, New York City, London and Miami.

Wait, what is "power rock" supposed to be anyway? Isn't that an oxymoron? Rock is supposed to be about power...

This is very much a 'drive down to the beach top down' type album. Excellent for summer.

The sound might be closer to power pop, but there's still a lot of the same grungy sort of emotion on this album, even if not as much as on LTT. I mean, the song "Celebrity Skin" sounds pop-ish and maybe even happy - but if you actually listen to the lyrics, it's really dark.

It's good, but I wouldn't call it grunge. If anything, it's more power pop.

Boys on the Radio is nothing short of their best track ever. I can't help but loving the maturity, lyrical sincerity and emotional rawness of this album. Courtney and the band itself were inspired as hell here.

I'll admit that I USED to not like this album that much. I thought it was way too pop (I've always been a fan of Hole's rougher days— Pretty on the Inside particularly, as well as the moderately aggressive Live Through This), but after doing lots of listening, it's definitely proven itself to me. Pop rock or not, Courtney bared her soul as she always has, and the songs are extremely emotional and really beautiful. It has an overall finesse that Hole's other albums don't, so it's great for a certain type of mood/setting. Hole's music never gets old to me because it has such range.
