5.0 out of 5 stars Best of Hole, April 17, 2000

This review is from: Pretty on the Inside (Audio CD)

Strangly enough Pretty on the Inside has always been my favorite album of Holes. I love and know all the words to Live Through This but Pretty On the Inside is more wild, less commercial, it has more raw beauty and Courtney holds nothing back. This is the album that helped get me through my high school years also. There are more hidden jewels in Pretty on the Inside and the lyrics are wonderful. On Live Through This the songs were more individual and controlled but Pretty on the Inside is one wild, fantastic, beautiful mess. If you liked Celebrity Skin you may not like this album but you should at least give it a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hole owns you, August 30, 2004

Oh my god. This is about my favorite album of all time, along with American Thighs by Veruca Salt, Nevermind by Nirvana, and England by the Sex Pistols. The lyrics are incredibly raw and you're sucked in by "Garbage Man." Seriously, if you do not own this, you should. This was a pivotal moment for feminist punk-rockers everywhere. I love Hole to death, and Pretty on the Inside is my favorite of their albums, though I like Live Through This as well. On Celebrity Skin, they were all caught up in ego and fame, not to mention MTV airwaves. I blame Celebrity Skin for Hole's breakup, because they could not have attempted any harder to sell out. When you go that mainstream, there's nowhere to go but the downward spiral. Back in the day when Pretty on the Inside was released, they were just up there, and it was all about the music. Pretty on the Inside is a perfect combination of grunge, punk, and tell it like it is, raw to the bone, slap in the face lyrics. It should be a crime for anyone to not own this album, it was a truly pivotal moment for women in rock everywhere.
KURT COBAIN LIVES ON!

5.0 out of 5 stars :Courtney-Miss WorLd Indeed:, August 14, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Pretty on the Inside (Audio CD)

Considering the fact that 've been a fan of Hole since I was maybe..mmm,circa 1996(my sister puchased LTT a little later than release date)and being I was only 6 at the time,I fell in LOVE with the album.My first taste was Violet,I thought it was a great song and I sang the chorus at school(not the smartest idea in catholic school)but back to POTI.This is by far ranked as a creative masterpiece I say.With the gritty anthem to girls who lived life as prostitutes,Teenage Whore is your savior.Courtney then goes into thrashing Kat Bjelland for taking authorship of Courtney's 'kinder-whore' look in the song 'BabyDoll' as the album progresses,you WON'T get bored.It's a punk rock gem,with the slef titled song,it's a prophetic song about how the ugly girls get the anthem of inner beauty.It wraps up with a cover of Joni Mitchell's 'Clouds' which is simply breathtaking.Courtney's vocals are unlike anyone elses,and I definatly give her 10 stars for being a poetic genius and for being the symbol of female sexuality as not just mens toys.No Madonna here! Courtney is crowned "Miss World"
