Negative Positive
Title: Aarrrghhhhhh! Ptoooey!!
Review: My wife and I have about 800 CDs in our collection, and this is the only one I've begged her not to play when I'm around. This album goes beyond dislike, past hatred, all the way to a spine-clenching anger that something like this could ever be released on a major label while so many fine bands--and, for that matter, so many barely mediocre bands--go unheard. Courtney Love can't carry a tune, the lyrics would get a D in a third-grade poetry class, and the music----what music? This is the only Hole album I've heard, so I don't know whether "Live Through This" is representative of the band or just a hideous aberration. With luck it will remain the only Hole album I've heard, since my wife, praise Allah, apparently doesn't feel the urge to go out and buy any others. I just wish she'd let me destroy this one and reuse the jewel case. (On the other hand, it might have cooties!)
Is the review positive or negative?
