More Info:

One of "the most highly-anticipated albums of 1998" (Alternative Press), Celebrity Skin follows up Hole's platinum 1994 DGC debut, Live Through This, named Album of the Year in Rolling Stone, Spin and the Village Voice. Celebrity Skin offers all the irony and brutal honesty of previous albums, but is more diverse than its predecessors, with contemplative ballads, acoustic guitar and string arrangements alongside aggressive rock cuts. 1st single/video: "Celebrity Skin."

Reviews:

''Celebrity Skin'' is the third studio album by the American rock band Hole, released worldwide by Geffen Records on September 7, 1998 and one day later in the United States. Similarly to vocalist and guitarist Courtney Love's refined image during this era, the sound of the album itself moved away from Hole's harder alternative rock past and toward a cleaner and more radio friendly pop rock format. It was Hole's most commercially successful album, garnering them a #1 hit single on the Modern Rock Tracks chart with the title track. Critical reaction to the album was largely positive, though not as universally so as the band's previous record, ''Live Through This.'' - Wikipedia
