This review is from: Uh Huh Her (Audio CD)

with UH HUH HER, i think pj harvey has managed to successfully combine her pop influences and still perform at her raw, gutteral, emotional best.

where DRY was raw and jarring and heart, and STORIES FROM THE CITY, ETC. was all polish, UH HUH HER is filled with emotionally powerful songs that still manage to be beautifully done and even, i admit, catchy.

think of your favorite songs from TO BRING YOU MY LOVE and DANCE HALL AT LOUSE POINT and you will have a pretty good idea of the feel of this album. "meet ze monster" would be at home on this album. only, with UH HUH HER that quality (though not the tone) is consistent throughout.

from the raw, powerful opening of "the life and death of mr. badmouth" ("your lips/are poison") to the more melodic "pocket knife" ("can't you see my pocket knife/you can't make me be your wife") the album is full of the kind of music that fans of harvey love her for -- without seeming stale, or a retread of past efforts.

there are one or two missteps, but i think UH HUH HER is harvey's most consistently high quality album, both raw and melodic, emotional and well structured.

i've listened to it four or five times in the last two days, and while it may be too soon to tell, i'm pretty sure this is my favorite of her albums -- with every listen, i like it better.
