Description: This whole album is filled with scathing fury, mostly directed at the impossible situation that confronts women when they are asked to be both wild sources of pleasure and unblemished mother figures. Live Through This uses the same recipe of punk and metal wrapped around pop melodies that made Nirvana so captivating, but Hole uses the methodology in a more conventional manner. The metal ingredient tends to dominate, perhaps because it's the simplest to master, and too often the album resembles early Heart or late Joan Jett--particularly when Courtney Love opens up with her big, wailing voice. Love externalizes her anger, blaming ... (more)

Women Who Rock: The 50 Greatest Albums of All Time (50 music items)

"You know how you sometimes catch yourself wondering, "Remind me again – why did people ever take Courtney Love seriously?" This grim, passionate grunge masterpiece is why. Essential moment: "Softer, Softest," the Widow Cobain's confession of her painful past – although she had no way of knowing that her pain was just beginning."

100 Greatest American Albums of All Time (100 music items)

"Grunge’s drama queen makes good Before Courtney Love became a Hollywood sideshow, her band made one of the most potent albums of the post-punk era. Released on the heels of hubby Kurt Cobain’s suicide, the music’s fury smelled eerily like teen spirit, but ultimately it was Miss World herself who sold the guitar-fueled drama. Standout tracks: “Violet,” “Doll Parts”"

The 150 Greatest Albums Made By Women (150 music items)

"Released on April 12, 1994 — seven days after her late husband's suicide, Live Through This is the first major label release and most definitive work by Courtney Love and her band Hole. Often viewed in the shadow of Kurt Cobain but built to eclipse it, the album is a mosaic of songs piecing together the band's former noise-grunge sound ("She Walks On Me") with an accessible rock melodicism ("Doll Parts"). At its heart is the turmoil of a new feminist punk revolution, images of beauty made ugly"

"Released within days of Kurt Cobain’s suicide, widow Courtney Love’s Live Through This would have been potent, poignant and damn near perfect even without his passing. Standout track: “Doll Parts” "
