Let's not get it twisted. I fucking ADORE Let England Shake! I was just talking about the first five. Especially in context of where to start or getting to know her work. psychobain said he'd already heard LES.tragabigzanda wrote:whoa whoa whoa... No love for Let England Shake?epilogue wrote:Her first five records are legit masterpieces and unfuckwithable. I'm personally particularly fond of albums 3-5 (To Bring You My Love, Is This Desire?, and Stories From the City, Stories from the Sea). Each of them is different and each of them is exactly what I want on any given day. Dry and Rid of Me are also amazing, of course. And I think most fans prefer them. I don't care which of those first five one prefers. All are brilliant.

Re: 50 ft Queenie: The long overdue PJ Harvey thread
I'll be totally honest here... I'm not any kind of PJH expert. One should not really take my word for anything I say about her work. I have not, for example, heard all of her records. Uh Huh Her is not one I know.

Re: 50 ft Queenie: The long overdue PJ Harvey thread
White Chalk was the one where she lost me. I loved everything from Dry till Uh Huh Her but that album was the first one I didn't like. It took me years to get interested about Let England Shake but I finally gave it a spin and I really like it. Gave another chance to White Chalk not too long ago but still not a fan of that one.
If somebody asked me I'd probably recommend to start from Stories or To Bring You My Love/Rid of Me. Uh Huh Her is a good one too, but the lo-fi production might turn off some listeners. I haven't listened the new one yet but I really liked the two singles.

Interesting, I didn't know that.tragabigzanda wrote:One interesting thing about PJ is that she has continued to use a 4-track recorder to track he vocals even on the more conventionally produced albums. You can really hear the contrast on Stories.contamination wrote:White Chalk was the one where she lost me. I loved everything from Dry till Uh Huh Her but that album was the first one I didn't like.
