Title: What Hole is this?
Review: This is not the same Hole that stunned the rock community with their first album. Perhaps because Courtney was unable to find any more of her late husband's lyrics, or maybe they just peaked already. Either way, this disk sounds like a Smashing Pumpkins album with Courtney Love singing vocals rather than Billy Corgan, whom helped produce and compose many of the tracks on this new release.They have a poppy new sound, are a little more upbeat, and probably have a hit on thier hands. Everything the first album wasn't(Poppy and upbeat). Giving further credence to those whom say Courtney used songs written by Kurt Cobain on the first album, then needed Billy Corgans help to make a second one. Maybe thier third album will be original, and the band will have found thier voice.
Is the review positive or negative?
