Product description 14x13x1cm. CD. .co.uk After fumbling around with hardcore iconoclast producer Steve Albini on Rid of Me (1993) and signing with U2 manager Paul McGuinness, Polly Jean Harvey is ready to live up to her lethal early promise at last. With its growling bass tones, "Meet Ze Monsta" sets the stage early on as Harvey explores her feminine psyche with an intensity and raw power unheard since Patti Smith's heyday. Unlike the terminally inconsistent Smith, however, Harvey plots a brilliant course through slippery laments ("Working For The Man"), corrosive testifying ("Long Snake Moan") and fuzz-toned menace ("Down By The Water"). Sceptics who think Harvey can't outgrow her art-punk base are advised to cue up the flamenco-inflected, string-caressed "Send His Love to Me". --Jeff Bateman

Why didn't I start collecting P J Harvey's albums sooner?
Years ago, a friend gave me "Stories from the City, Stories From the Sea". While I loved it, I didn't dare to buy anything else by P J Harvey - in case it wasn't as good.No worries on that front, 'To Bring You My Love' is a cracker (recommended by Guy Garvey on his 6Music show). I've just ordered "Let England Shake", hopefully it'll be here by the weekend.So its official; I'm a fan! While I'll leave concert going to the younger and braver, I'm gonna get hours of pleasure listening to the divine Ms Harvey.

Bliss!
I'm a big PJ Harvey fan and I love this album. It has, I think, more polish and finesse than some of her earlier albums but it's not over-produced so you still get the edge and the rawness. A thing of beauty.

Angry, but tender
A very well put together album. A strong voice, fuelled by anger but can be tender at the same time. The title track gives you a glimpse of what's to come, almost a female equivelent of Nick Cave if you will. Down By the Water is a track highly regarded by critics for it's sensitive subject and it's on this album.
