Hole are great, and deserve more recognition and respect beyond just the cobain association, a really good album and some great songwriting

Some good songs but also just doesn't really stand out from other rock albums of this period for me
Rated 8/10

A few weaker songs, mostly the more experimental Buckingham stuff. Could have done a shorter album that would almost be comparable to rumours out of the better stuff though

Didn't quite enjoy it as much as the first two Bowie albums I got but it's still really good

De la soul with better rapping but also less interesting production

Another one where I really liked large parts of the album but was dragged down by several weaker/uninteresting songs (usually the ones where the fake accent was more pronounced)
Rated 10/10

Their best album imo, can't you hear me knocking might be their best song too

I reckon there's a much better 40ish minute album here but some of the songs either just didn't really work for me or were a bit boring

A lot of the songs start off really well but do kind of dissolve into being a bit samey
Rated 8/10

Not quite as good as some of their later stuff but most of the songs are still pretty good and it does have psycho killer
Rated 10/10

Has never been my favorite of theirs but on this listen it really clicked
Rated 6/10

Can definitely see how influential it's been but really hasn't stood the test of time the way a lot of other 60s stuff has imo
Rated 10/10

On first listen I honestly thought this was a bit rubbish but then putting it on again I dont know what I was thinking, its great

The two longer songs do drag a bit but the shorter ones are all great. Is quite funny that these guys are from california and weren't born anywhere near the bayou

The only two ways I could find to listen to this album were a YouTube playlist complete with ads for online casinos and cat food, or an Internet archive recording intercut with commentary in Spanish. I wasn't sure which of these was closest to how the band originally intended.

First I've heard of Costello and tbh his voice is not what I was expecting from a man who kind of looks like woody Allen. Admittedly wasn't huge on the first track but it really got better after that

Really good, and I'm not usually huge on purely instrumental stuff

Nice album, wasn't expecting a love song about a trans couple on an 80s punk album
Rated 8/10

After the first song I was dreading the rest but after that I actually really enjoyed it. The guy is a really good songwriter and sounding a bit like thom Yorke isn't exactly a bad thing
