[Celebrity Skin] is sprung, flung and fun, high-impact,
rock-fueled grunge.... [It] teems with sonic knockouts that make you see
all sorts of stars. It's accessible, fiery, and intimate....
When last we saw Courtney Love, she was performing on the silver screen
and posing for Versace, a far cry from her formative days stumbling
across stages wearing ripped thrift-store clothing. But Love's
Hollywood transformation is just the latest in her crusade for
adoration, whatever the environment. And Celebrity Skin is just
the latest manifestation of that obsession. Instead of screaming in
rage over a muscular din of power chords, Love sings in a restrained,
melodic alto voice; the band matches the euphony with rhythms and hooks
that draw from such mainstream acts as Fleetwood Mac, the Go-Go's, and,
of course, Smashing Pumpkins, whose frontman, Billy Corgan, cowrote
five songs. What makes Celebrity SkinCelebrity Skin is proof to all the skeptics that superstars have feelings, too. more than another good
rock album, however, is Love's lyrics, which remain confessional and
scathing, addressing such topics as physical abuse ("Hit So Hard"),
drugs ("Use Once and Destroy"), the music industry ("Awful," "Boys on
the Radio"), and her late husband's suicide ("Reasons to Be
Beautiful"). If nothing else, Celebrity Skin is proof to all the skeptics that superstars have feelings, too.
