Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
How can someone so unpredictable behave so predictably? Every time PJ Harvey releases something sophisticated and clean like 2000's Mercury Music Prize tipped Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, it just about guarantees a contradictory follow-up album is around the bend. Her ambitious 1992 debut, Dry, inspired the bitter death rattle of Rid of Me. Her third offering, 1995's elegant To Bring You My Love, gave way to the stormy Is This Desire?. Harvey's sixth solo album, Uh Huh Her, doesn't disappoint. It's a nasty riposte to the success of its predecessor, built on grubby blues-punk riffs and the brooding, primal howl that Harvey uses when she wants to impersonate a she-wolf. Some of it seems disappointingly remedial ("The Letter" "Cat on the Wall"), but the best material ("The Desperate Kingdom of Love" "Who the Fuck?") just reconfirms that no matter how raw the British songwriter serves it up, the beauty of her work is undeniable. --Aidin Vaziri

Album Description
PJ Harvey's seventh album Uh Huh Her, the follow-up to 2001's Mercury Prize-winning Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, is released on May 31. Written, performed, recorded, mixed and produced by Harvey, the album includes the single "The Letter".

4.0 out of 5 stars the return of the old PJ...., 12 Jun 2004
This review is from: Uh Huh Her (Audio CD)
As a fan of PJ Harvey's older work, in particular 'Is this Desire?', and a lover of her darker, more sinister tone; I have to confess i was a little unsatisfied with her last album, 'Stories from the city....' which i found in parts a little too like pop and rather lacking in substance.
'Uh Huh Her' has done a pretty effective job of winning me back!! Kicking off with the catchy and tough 'The life and death of Mr Badmouth', Harvey shows some of her old style with a return to strong bass, wild vocals and angsty lyrics. Although in my opinion the album still can't compare to 'Is this Desire' , and contains a few easily skip-able tracks which lack a really catchy theme, I find its the tracks that stand out and become caught in your memory that redeem it! Some of the best in my opinion are 'Its you', which has a darker, powerful sound which grows on you in the style of some of her older tracks, 'The life & death of Mr Badmouth', and 'The Letter'.
Overall, this album is well worth buying - possibly more so for fans of her old music before 'Stories..', but i promise parts of this album will grow on anyone who's ever liked Harvey's music - it is more of a mix of all her styles that should please everybody! This one will stay in my C.D player 'till her next release!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Back on Familiar Ground, 31 May 2004
This review is from: Uh Huh Her (Audio CD)
I'm happy to see Polly back on familiar ground with this album. Although I enjoyed "Stories" as an album in its own right, I was unable to connect with it the way I had with that album's predecessors; most notably "To Bring". The majority of the pop sheen thrown over "Stories" is gone, to be replaced with the minimalistic brooding force of her earlier works. The bottom line here is that for fans who have been with Polly since her pre-"Stories" days should find this album to be one that sees heavy rotation in the disc changer. For those who jumped on PJ's gypsy band wagon during the "Stories" era, this may not be a palatable cup of tea. I plead with you, though. Give it time; it will grow on you. Better yet, revisit some of her earlier albums to prep yourself before giving "Uh Huh Her" a listen.

4.0 out of 5 stars The two-halves of the Harvey whole/soul, 18 Nov 2005
By J "chasingshadows" (Liverpool, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Uh Huh Her (Audio CD)
“Later…with Jools Holland” introduces me to so many fantastic bands and artists I can barely keep up and now P J Harvey is one of them, or more accurately- very, very high up on my list of musicians whose back catalogues I now feel compelled to purchase thanks to that exceptional programme and of course, as a result of the consistently jaw-dropping, mouth-watering live performances of new material by veteran and amateur musicians alike, which never fail to get me standing up and moving awkwardly (why do the audience members all insist on doing that?) along with everyone else in the studio.

‘Stories from the city, stories from the sea’ (the critically acclaimed album that preceded this one) had long been on my Wish list after a friend’s recommendation, but before I saw what P J and her music were all about I was hesitant to buy before sampling and when I finally saw her perform…I was both relieved and regretful that I had waited- relieved because the taster-tracks she performed were very much my taste in music (and from what I’ve heard her previous album differs wildly from this latest offering) and regretful because I’d not been aware until now just how much of a musically exceptional and personally charismatic talent Harvey truly was.

“The Letter,” “Shame” and ‘Who the f**k?” were the tracks I was lucky enough to catch not just being sung, but embodied by Harvey and then catapulted from her soul into the studio. And luckily…the rest of the album is just as powerful as her performance of those three songs on that occasion- crammed with more of the same raw energy and conviction. However, these three songs are not the best examples of what this album is all about and definitely not an accurate cross-section of the record as a whole- in fact, there’s a complete contrast between these songs, which are consumed by negativity and bitterness and the rest of the album, which is just sublime- softly spoken lyrics, the bare-minimum use of instruments and a great deal more folksy. These softer songs reminded me of artists such as June Tabor, Azure Ray and even Tori Amos for their wild musings and utilisation of traditional instruments and it’s these ‘softer options’ that probably include some of my favourite songs from the album. ‘Pocket Knife’ is incredibly folksy with a monotonous tambourine jingle acting as a counterpoint to Harvey’s bizarre, but razor-sharp lyrics. ‘You come through’ is a wonderful change of pace- spiritual and uplifting as it builds to a crescendo, again very soft. But the most powerful example, be it of either the negatively-charged tracks or the softer, more benign ones has to be ‘The Desperate Kingdom of Love’ which is simply gorgeous- again Harvey is barely-audible as she whispers the lyrics, which are both beautiful and touching.

So, despite the critical characterisation of this album as angry and bitter, in equal measures it’s also at times very gentle and touching and that contrast works really well. Plus- this is by no means an over-produced record, with largely bare vocals and limited instrumental arrangements, making the music (even as it swings wildly between extreme chaos & negativity into utterly tender & peaceful ditties) incredibly sincere and heartfelt. A great introduction to Harvey.
