I like PJ a far amount but this just doesn't do if for me all that much. Voice is irritating.

She's kinda just singing one note throughout the song. Ehhhhhhhhh, I'm not too enthusiastic about this one. Yeah, the vocal tic is annoying, too.

18 years since the release of "Dry" and still sounds great. How do you define "quickly"? |

she is "doing that" for some time already and she is "doing that" very well... I'd worry about her diet more than voice... |

Sounds like a woman with a sore throat. That catch in her voice is seriously irritating. Great singer, great songs, but this one is a pain in the ears. Looks like it's another RP fallow period, at least for the Nottingham jury - not a rating over 3 in the last half hour. Still, we keep the faith... |

You are right on with this comment. As a huge fan of Patti and and PJ, (and Elvis and the Beatles and Elvis) I couldn't agree more. |

Especially since Polly obviously posed for the photo with quite earnest intent. Earnestly, I would lick her legs... |

I like this song, especially the sound of her voice in it. It may be "unrefined" or whatever, but that's why it works for me.

A lot of effort in one album, though critcally not so acclaimed. Great set Air - Bonobo - PJ Harvey. Works surprisingly well as always with RP.

I bought this album back when it was released, and no other record has ever pulled me in so immediately and thouroughly. I remember my brother coming in after 6 hours, asking me to put on something else :P
FWIW, I think the title track is the best, and I know of no other song from any artist that I could put higher.
Sadly I've never been able to attend a concert with PJ, but I hear she had a legendary performance in the new Norwegian opera house earlier this year.

If she can do better than "You said something", I'll be amazed. That song is god(dess)-like. |
