Most of you guys were probably digging this album 2 years back but being fashionably late as ever I've just got round to it. Suffice to say it's good, maybe as good as the internet hype makes it out to be.
It didn't sound anything like what I was expecting either. I got the impression PJ Harvey was some grizzled veteran singer songwriter in the mould of Bob Dylan or Nick Cave, but this album was far more indie-pop than what I had anticipated. (I hadn't listened to any of her stuff before)
The songs were catchy and melody driven, didn't care much for the concept but the music was fun and I can see repeat listens on the horizon.
It's never too late. If you really like that album that much you should definitely explore her discography. You don't get the same PJ Harvey album twice so you've got the raw alternative rock of Dry, the pop-rock of Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea, the folky White Chalk and they're just three examples.
