Topic: Celebrity Skin (song)

    Note: these results are not from the primary (high quality) database.

Salon Entertainment Music Feature: Listen through this "Celebrity Skin" isn't as deeply affecting as "Live Through This," but it's easier to like: The lyrics cut deep, but the pop-metal edge of the songs is what reels you in. There's always an awareness of danger, and an undercurrent of rage, rushing beneath the pop veneer of "Celebrity Skin." Love's anger reaches the boiling point on "Playing Your Song," in which she seems to be lashing out at people who've co-opted her husband's legacy. In "Celebrity Skin," her anger is sometimes (but not always) more muted, and yet it's always there, whirling just beneath the surface. archive.salon.com /ent/music/feature/1998/09/11featureb.html   (1728 words)

Celebrity Skin - Hole         The song "Celebrity Skin" is not impressive or even obviously self-mocking.         Celebrity Skin is a way of honoring herself for this remarkable revamping. She begins to throw in not-so-subtle references to her late husband that are evident from merely picking up the album and reading the song names. www.tbns.net /mindriot/celebrityskin.html   (666 words)

Amazon.com: Celebrity Skin: Music Only a few songs (Celebrity Skin, Reasons to be Beautiful, Northern Song) manage to hold some depth to them, and showcase the power and evocative qualities of her voice. Celebrity Skin--upbeat tune, about the plastic quality most stars have, but seems to reinforce that courtney's different ("oh make me over, I'm all I wanna be, a walking study in demonology"). What makes Celebrity Skin more than another good rock album, however, is Love's lyrics, which remain confessional and scathing, addressing such topics as physical abuse ("Hit So Hard"), drugs ("Use Once and Destroy"), the music industry ("Awful," "Boys on the Radio"), and her late husband's suicide ("Reasons to Be Beautiful"). www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000AFWW?v=glance   (1760 words)

All-Reviews.com Music Review: Celebrity Skin by Hole Whatever the reason, Celebrity Skin is a lesser work. Her pretentious lyrics don't benefit from the added attention the slower songs give them and are just as annoying as her public persona. It has flashes of brilliance, notably the title track, a supercharged marriage of chunky power chords and girl group hooks, which was probably the best rock song of '98. www.all-reviews.com /music/celebrityskin.htm   (189 words)

sfbg.com A and E America's Sweetheart (Virgin) may be her first musical release since Hole's swan song, 1998's Celebrity Skin, but Love's not exactly one to keep a low profile. Regrettably, America's Sweetheart is the album Love should've titled Celebrity Skin, as it's the closest she's come to literally embodying the Hollywood ideal she once scathingly critiqued on early Hole tracks like "Plump," "Pretty on the Inside," and "Asking for It." America's Sweetheart simply rivets for different, more troubling reasons: while she formerly expressed the pain inherent in the whole be-a-model-or-just-look-like-one quandary, Love's solo material tackles – often unintentionally – the far uglier truth of what happens once you've been chewed up and spit out by the very industry from which you've sought approval. www.sfbg.com /38/23/noise_courtney.html   (778 words)

VH1.com : Robbie Williams Williams: It’s one of those “celebrity moaning” songs that Good Charlotte sing about on “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.” [Sings] “All they do is piss and moan, inside the Rolling Stone ” I was suffering with a dark cloud above my head. First there’s the unforgettable “Rock DJ” video, where the strapping singer stripped off his clothes, then his skin, and finally his flesh until there was nothing but a skeleton left. But it would be great to see somebody like Kid Rock kissing a man. But I’m sure that he wouldn’t like the prospect of it put to him, and I won’t even go there with Eminem. www.vh1.com /artists/interview/1471171/04102003/williams_robbie.jhtml   (1871 words)

Amazon.com: Celebrity Skin: Music: Hole Abandoning the grunge/alternative sound in favor of a glossy, popish one, Hole released their third album "Celebrity Skin" in the fall of 1998. Compared to Hole's first two albums "Pretty on the Inside" (1991) and "Live through This" (1994), "Celebrity Skin" is far more radio-friendly, with a far glossier production. Playing your Song is one angry song, very reminiscent of Hole's earlier work. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000AFWW?v=glance   (1708 words)

bizarre love triangle This is why she at first denied that Billy had done anything on the album; she later admitted on the Howard Stern Show, when he confronted he about the obvious Corgan sound to the album, that he wrote the verses to the single "Celebrity Skin" including the "pop cheese" riff (Courtney's words). Their only hit off of the first album is the dark, NIN-like "Hey Man, Nice Shot." Many fans are offended, thinking that the song is intended to be a sick joke on Kurt Cobain's self-inflicted fatal gunshot wound to the head. In this album is the song "Captain Bligh", a song Richard openly admits is directly about Trent Reznor, specifically his musical/creative relationship with him. howisya.tripod.com /bizarrelove   (4717 words)

SECTION 3 - hole "celebrity skin" The new Hole album, Celebrity Skin was poised to be released. With the first three ripping chords which open the album on the title song, Courtney proves that she still "has it." And with the first vocal verse of the ensuing song, "Awful," she proves that she also has something else...versatility and a new direction. This album took me a few listens to get into it, and most of the songs are throwaway tracks in my opinion, but there IS enough here to appease the masses (and loyal Hole fans as well). www.section3.com /records/hole.shtml   (4717 words)

riverfronttimes.com Music Blinker the Star 1999-09-08 Zadorozny can write a song (he helped Courtney Love construct the glorious "Reasons to Be Beautiful" on Hole's most recent album, Celebrity Skin), and the record suggests that a live performance of these songs shines just as brightly. But where Wainwright drew his inspiration from show tunes and opera, Blinker the Star's Jordon Zadorozny draws inspiration from the American underground rock scene of the '80s; he says he decided to try his hand at singing after hearing Dinosaur Jr.'s J. Mascis massacre a song. Where Wainwright has the heart and vision of a classicist, though, the furthest Zadorozny can peer back is the early-'70s piano rock of Todd Rundgren, not necessarily the most interesting spot to land. www.riverfronttimes.com /Issues/1999-09-08/music/soundchecks2.html   (4717 words)
