Hole - Nobody's Daughter
Of course people change, and so they should - but the severity of the switch from crapped-out Converse to blagged Blahniks has been a mightily confusing one, especially for those of us left staring down at our own rainbow laces wondering whether any of it really meant anything in the first place... There are positive signs of rebirth to be found here, chief amongst them the fact that Love appears equally well-placed to tackle both rock anthems and more acoustic, stripped-down songwriting as she clatters towards middle age.»

along with courtney, the new line-up of hole includes 23-year-old british guitarist micko larkin (formerly of london indie rockers larrikin love), bassist shawn dailey (of rock kills kid), and drummer stuart fisher. (jack irons, formerly of the red hot chili peppers and pearl jam, played drums on the album). 'nobody's daughter' is the first album by hole in more than a decade (since 1998's three-time grammy-nominated 'celebrity skin'). it also marks courtney's first record since her solo album 'america's sweetheart' of 2004 (with 'mono' and 'hold on to me,' both songs co-written with linda perry, who co-wrote the bulk of that album's songs with courtney).
