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

Uh Huh Her being Pj Harveys 7th studio album is as eclectic and experimental as ever. Here we get a mix of rock, psychidelic rock and punk to mention a few of the styles included on this album. Songs that standout on this release are The Letter and Shame. The booklet is filled with many strange photos of PJ Harvey and no lyrics. The lyrics are quite strange but I like an artist that goes against the norm and just does not talk about love and such. 4/5.

3 1/2
Effective but slightly under-performing concept disc from one of alternative rock's bolder female voices, Harvey nevertheless continues her quality streak with a diverse set of tiny songs touching on the many styles throughout her career. She possesses that rare quality to elevate just about any mediocre composition into emotionally engaging territory.

With the joyful, relevatory "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea", Polly Jean Harvey did something that many people thought impossible: she made an album that actually trumped everything that came before it and made it practically impossible to create a follow-up that could match its power. That's unfortunetly the case with "Uh Huh Her", the muddled, lo-fi successor to "Stories". The thing is, as greatly praised and appreciated as "Stories" was, many hardcore fans of Harvey complained that ... Read More

I can have this album playing all the time,it's just a moody album,i love that in it,the tone is moody,the lyrics are so expressive,this album is human,i am not going to describe each song,each one has a different flow. I almost felt she didn't put alot of effort in this album,like it came naturally;it just comes so easy,like a first reaction or impression,she has a deeply beautiful voice,her music generally is great,she is an artist in every way,i know she made better albums,but this could have been ...

The opening riffs of 'The Life and Death of Mr. Badmouth' demonstrate PJ's prowess as a songwriter and performer. Wave upon wave on sound build to a cresendo leading to a wall of silence at the end. 'Shame' is one of my favorite tracks. I will not review this album track by track. Suffice it to say that this is a fantastic CD.
Longtime fans will not be disappointed. If you are new to PJ's work, this would be a good second purchase. Start with 'To Bring You My Love' or 'Stories From the ... Read More
