description Hole - Live Through This Overview

"Live Through This" is the second studio album by the American alternative rock band Hole, released in April 1994. The record marked a shift from the band's earlier noise punk sound toward a more accessible blend of alternative rock and power pop. Featuring lyrics by frontwoman Courtney Love that examine themes of motherhood, body image, and suburban decay, the album was produced by Paul Q. Kolderie and Sean Slade.

It is noted for the abrupt contrast between its melodic arrangements and its raw vocal delivery.
