"...makes it clear from the start of 'Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea' that this will be a return to form." |
PJ Harvey Inherits the Earth at the Hammerstein Ballroom |
|
"PJ Harvey is a formidable new voice in modern rock but it's hard to see who will want this beyond the most rapacious fan." |
"Like her closest antecedents, Patti Smith and Throwing Muses, Yeovil's PJ Harvey isn't easily definable." |
|
"Boasting 12 tracks yet clocking in at just a shade over 40 minutes, Is This Desire? is one of the most artfully truncated missives of bleakness and pain to have emerged from a jewel box or Digipack since the dawn of CD." |
"It starts with the musical equivalent of an itch. Sure enough, just when you've keyed into the mood, the track explodes in your face with a massively over-cranked, woofer-and-tweeter-threatening bombardment of noise." |
