I’ve been listening a lot to the new PJ Harvey disc, Uh Huh Her.
Now, I love PJ. I have since I first heard her, many years ago. I really want to LOVE this album… but it’s just not grabbing me the way some of her previous stuff did. It’s great, don’t get me wrong. But it just feels like something’s lacking.
Quite frankly, it could just be that nothing she ever releases, for me, will ever live up to Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea. Maybe I’m just still so caught up in the whole “being in love in New York City” thing that she wrote about on Stories, that I can’t appreciate a good breakup album. Maybe we’re just not on the same page right now. Maybe that’s all right with me…
i agree with ya, jen… i think the album’s good, but it’s certainly not blowing me away like i’d hoped it would. there are a couple songs that almost get me, but as a whole, i’m merely whelmed.
still, any pj is welcome pj!
Absolutely – it’s great to hear new stuff from her after such a long drought. I’m hoping to catch her live again sometime soon.
I wanna pistol in my hand. I wanna go to another land.
