America's Sweetheart Reviews:
Best By Far 
2006-03-09 - I have been listening to all of Hole's and Courtney's work for the past week, and my opinions have changed drastically. I thought Live Through This was her best work by far. No it isn't. Four songs on that release do stand as aces, but the rest is filler. Above average filler, but filler. Beyond that are the duds, "Credit In The Straight World" and another song I forget the name of. I like Celebrity Skin better. Its only weak song is the title track and it isn't terrible, the rest is great with "Awful" and "Northern Star" equalling "Gutless" and "Rock Star". The rest is filled with well written memorable songs. That leaves the disposable "Teenage Whore", I mean Pretty On The Inside and her best by far America's Sweetheart. Every song on the masterpiece builds from the previous tune and they all are tour de forces. An exercise in brilliant songwriting that ends with the only dud, "Fly", skip this and you are left with a perfect CD. If you want to ignore this CD or put it down because you hate Courtney I could care less, but you are the one losing out, and why would you buy it in the first place?
Courtney Rocks! But is Mono her only single????
2004-07-18 - I do love her solo cd, I have been the biggest HOLE since 1993, I've followed her career the whole way! The only song on America's Sweetheart that is actually really bad is Life Despite God, All the rest are good and catchy! I really like HELLO and BUT JULIAN IM A LITTLE OLDER THAN YOU! NEVER GUNNA BE THE SAME AGAIN is also a good song!!! The only problem i have is WHY has she only released MONO as a single, its been 5 months! Whats going on....I know Hold on to me was her next single but she didn't make a video for it or anything, Probably all her legal issues and her problems she been having :( I hope she gets herself together and releases another single!!!!!!!!!!!!This is getting retarded!!!! You cant have 1 single from a cd!!!!!
Courtney, Chain-Whipped. 
2004-03-11 - COURTNEY LOVE: America's Sweetheart (from http://www.chain-whipped.com)
Argued for nigh upon 15 minutes about whether or not she was in Taxi Driver... until we finally realized we've got this Internet thing... and it was Sid 'n' Nancy... with Bill Pullman as Sid... no, it was Gary Oldman. Anyway, we found this filmography list at http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0001482/
where you can boost your movie trivia skills. Otherwise, who gives a toss when we're talking about an album? This thing is all over the place stylewise... but more in like an old Aerosmith way than in a drunkard car keys sort of way.
...Not to say that the latter wouldn't have its appeal as well.
Let's put it this way, now there's a whole whack of songs to replace the Doll Parts fragments that are still bouncing around in your head.
...And Courtney,
Happy 40-ish-th! mmmmmwah!
