The Greatest Music
Celebrity Skin
by Hole
The 893rd greatest album of all time
Celebrity Skin is Hole's third studio album, released in 1998. It foregrounds a more polished, pop-inflected form of alternative rock compared with the band's earlier, rawer grunge sound, featuring glossy production by Michael Beinhorn, hook-driven guitar work and melodic, radio-friendly arrangements on tracks such as the title song and "Malibu". Lyrically the record touches on fame, identity and relationships while maintaining an abrasive edge in its guitar tones and Courtney Love's vocal delivery.
