I understand people saying this isn't a true Hole record because you can hear the obvious lack of Eric's influence musically, but I do feel lyrically this is actually second best behind Live Through This. Hole's lyrics and themes have always been autobiographical to Courtney so it didn't necessarily NEED to be a solo project. Just because this isn't the '94-'02 lineup doesn't mean it's bad album. I only wish this had been released with that lineup purely because people would have actually given it a chance.

Such a masterpiece, so underrated. This album transcends many feelings, and together they make sense to me. So different from the others, so unique. Absolutely love it.

Her voice suits the songs. They speak of being used up in drugs and sex and you can hear it in her voice. It sounds used up. It's kind of sad, but beautiful too. I like it. [4]

Unpopular opinion: I think this is better than Pretty On The Inside and Celebrity Skin. This is 2nd behind 'Live Through This', in my opinion.

The only good songs are "Nobody's Daughter" "Pacific Coast Highway" "Samantha" and "Someone Else's Bed". Courtney's voice has gotten kinda bad - "Honey" could have been a gem without her dying-animal-sounds on it.

This album has grown on me. I felt lukewarm about it when it first came out, but I really have grown to love it. It has some weaker songs, which is hard to swallow when you listen to Live Through This, which doesn't have one remotely weak track— but then again, Pretty on the Inside and Celebrity Skin weren't perfect from start to finish, and I still love those albums. I have a feeling this will fall in line with the rest of Courtney's body of work, in that it will not be recognized or receive public appreciation for its merit until long after it's been put out there. She could be dead before this album accrues its deserved notoriety, but I think that in time her entire body of work will be heralded in the rock canon.

Some of the lyrics on this are probably her best. I've really been listening to Samantha lately, and God, some of the imagery in that song is fantastic. I understand that some people don't enjoy the sound of this as much as her earlier work, but it's clear that Courtney poured a lot of herself into this one. It's always been Hole's lyrics that have really gotten me, anyway.

I confess that this is not my favorite album, for example, best ass, music, or with many sounds that would become "hits", but I have in mind how important this album was to Courtney Love. And so it becomes very important for me too. I think "Nobody's Daughter" one of the best albums I've ever heard. I feel the soul of Courtney when I listen. And I love and admire.

Courtney gave a speech the other day (not sure what the event was, but I saw clips from it) and she called this album her "masterwork" in spite of the fact that it didn't sell— she said it has only sold like $19,000 to date which, in other words, means it was a total flop. I think her quote went something like: "I don't care if you like Live Through This, I don't care if you even know who I am— suck it. Nobody's Daughter was better". She put a lot of work into this album and although the public's swallowing of the material was not nearly as good as it was for Live Through This or Celebrity Skin even, I think she honestly feels like this was "the one", you know? For her as an artist, it was probably the hardest she's ever worked. Much respect to her, and I love the album, even though the older Hole will always be my personal preference. The songs here are definitely more structurally complex and the subject matter is a lot different.

I don't care what anybody says about Ms Love and Hole. I love them. I don't give a shit what drugs they do or what a bitch she is. She writes songs the way I like them. I even still play her solo album America's Sweetheart. That record rocked and nobody gave it the time of day. Celeb Skin and Nobody are great records for different reasons. You go Pink_Boy.

I guess that this is one of those albums that get slightly better with each and every listen

I've felt lukewarm about this album for awhile now (sans a few songs, title track and "Never Go Hungry", to name), but I'm really, really digging it now. Songs are catchy as hell and Courtney can still scream like fucking crazy. It's definitely a nice addition to her body of work. Different, and a bit more mature at this point in her life, but still smart lyrics and a true rock 'n roll spirit to it.
