PJ Harvey

Editor's Review:

A true rock 'n' roll diva, PJ Harvey's music was feminine, personal, unapologetic and in-your-face long before the Lillith phenomenon. Her penchant for off-kilter hooks and song constructions that run afoul of the predictable molds without complicating the musical space are matched only by her powerhouse vocal abilities and the overwhelming personality that her music exudes. Harvey's latest release is just what fans can expect - more of the same great stuff. New-but-familiar Harvey tones abound in songs like "A Place Called Home" and "Beautiful Feeling"; big blasting passages of rock explode on tunes like "Kamikaze" and "This is Love"; and Harvey performs a notable, bottom-heavy duet with Radiohead's Thom Yorke on "This Mess We're In."
