It’s hard to untangle Hole’s Live Through This from the events surrounding its release. The album was released on April 12, 1994, a mere four days after the discovery of Kurt Cobain’s body at his East Seattle home; the death of Hole bassist Kristen Pfaff from a drug overdose two months later served as a morbid postlude. And with the rise in conspiracy theories surrounding Cobain’s death (and, let’s face it, Courtney Love’s behavior in recent years), the band remains as controversial as ever.
