Advantages: good opening track

Disadvantages: rest of album leaves something to be desired

Courtney Love is famous for being in Hole and most famous for being married to Kurt Cobain. She may have been noticed in the headlines for drug taking and criminal charges but she has finally released her first solo album.
Americas Sweetheart is a mediocre album nowhere near as good as Holes albums. The first track on the album ‘Mono’ and the first single is definitely the best song on the album by far, its loud and aggressive and gives of a good vibe and makes you think great things are coming on the rest of the album, but that’s not the way it is. The rest of the album is much quieter and blends into each other. Track 7 ‘I’ll Do Anything’ guitar riffs sound just like a speeded up version of ‘smells like teen spirit’.
My favourite tracks are definitely Mono and All The Drugs the rest of the album I could either take it or leave it.
I wouldn’t recommend this album to anyone thinking of buying it who is expecting an album that sounds like Hole.
