Kurt Cobain's widow and Hole founder/lead singer Courtney Love completely revamped Hole before recording the band's second album, keeping only Eric Erlandson in the lineup. That's one reason why Live Through This sounds so shockingly different from Pretty On The Inside, notes AllMusic.
Many rumors have claimed that Cobain ghostwrote a substantial chunk of the album, and while that's unlikely, there's no denying that his patented stop-start dynamics, bare chords, and punk-pop melodies provide the blueprint for Live Through This. Love adds her signature rage and feminist rhetoric to the formula, but the lyrics that truly resonate are the ones that unintentionally predict Cobain's suicide.
Considered a contemporary classic, this record was included in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time." The album features production by Sean Slade and Paul Q Kolderie with mixing by Scott Litt and J Mascis. The album met near-unanimous critical acclaim upon release, earning Top 100 chart spots in seven countries and going multi-platinum in sales.
