Pretty on the Inside is the debut
studio album by American
alternative rock band
Hole, released September 17, 1991 on
Caroline Records. Produced by
Sonic Youth musician
Kim Gordon and
Gumball frontman
Don Fleming,
Pretty on the Inside was Hole's first major label release after their formation in 1989 by vocalist/rhythm guitarist
Courtney Love and lead guitarist
Eric Erlandson; the band had previously released two singles through local and independent music labels based in
Long Beach and
Seattle.
Pretty on the Inside is noted for being the band's only work to be predominantly influenced by
noise rock and
punk rock,
due to its graphic lyrics, distorted guitar riffs,
screaming vocals, and "sloppy punk ethics",
much in contrast with their followup album,
Live Through This (1994), which featured a more accessible sound
. Several songs on
Pretty on the Inside sample guitar riffs verbatim from
Neil Young and
Bauhaus songs, and the album's closing track is a frenzied cover of "
Both Sides Now" by
Joni Mitchell.
In addition to its raucous musical composition, the lyrical content of the album was described by music critics as being confrontational and "genuinely uninhibited".

Well...I think it`s definitely a kick ass album which is worth listening to.
Salut, in primul rand vreau sa iti spun ca faci o treaba buna cu blogul. Mi-a facut placere sa vad articole despre The U-men, Wipers sau Rapeman. Mai ales ca sunt un fan al scenei optzeciste din Seattle sau a tot ce are legatura cu Albini sau Amphetamine Reptile. Continua ce faci ca faci bine. Poate daca ai timp o sa vizitezi si blogul meu: http://myhairsprayqueen.blogspot.com/ . Sunt acolo articole despre tupe mai putin cunoscute din Seattle care probabil te-ar interesa.
