  Amazon.co.uk: Auf Der Maur: Music: Auf Der Maur   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Auf der Maur isn't a terrible debut album, but at this stage in her career--and working at this level--much better was expected.
Auf der Maur's penchant for rhyming words at the end of each line will surely be her downfall - no credible song should ever feature the word "cook" as a prominent rhyming word...
Not only should Auf der Maur be listened to for the driving, bombastic, ethereal piece of artistic rock that it is, but we should all support an artist who made this album by paying for it with her own money even before having a label to distribute it.

 Melissa Auf der Maur
Born and raised in Montréal to Linda Gaboriau, the city's first female disc jockey, Melissa Auf der Maur was given an early start to her musical explorations, studying on piano and trumpet as well as singing in a choir by her teen years.
With some misgivings, Auf der Maur made the decision to leave behind her home town, her attendance at University, and Tinker (despite the now-favorable prospects for landing a record deal) in order to join up with Hole in Seattle.
It was not until 1998's Celebrity Skin that a full-length album with Auf der Maur's contribution was released, just prior to which she (again through Corgan's instigation) spent time collaborating with former Cars vocalist Ric Ocasek.
