Title: A rollercoaster ride of burnt emotions and drowning images
Review: The final word from Hole(sad to say)and probably their best hour. Covered in a glossy pop polish, the album still speaks to punk fans(I would hope)with a handful of tight, hard-rocking songs and Courtney Love's gutsy vocals. It's a head-swirling collage of tide-tossed, sunburnt images, rivalling some of the best rock of the 1990's. I don't see how you could find a more fantastic piece of hard-pop music than "Boys On the Radio"(which, in an earlier incarnation, was once called "Sugar Coma" with different lyrics). I can't get enough of this record and always want to share it with those who still remember what the essence of rock and roll is(and should be)all about. (**those seeking the Japanese bonus track "Best Sunday Dress", try searching out the CD-single of "Celebrity Skin" pressed in Australia. It's fairly easy to find in import bins or on-line and features "Best Sunday Dress" and the demo-version of "Dying" as extra cuts). A+
