PJ Harvey is not for everybody because she's so outside the box most of the time. Her style and her vocal charisma is more akin to those music snobs who only like what everyone else hates and vice versa. The 2011 Harvey album is a return to form for her as I think she had started to slide quality wise. Now I am not a huge fan of her myself but I've got friends who continually tell me I don't know what I'm missing. I can understand her talent and influence but she never jumps far enough into the mainstream sound to become one of those artists I like.
The indie pop is ok on Let England Shake and she's doing some cool stuff but I prefer and bigger production from this kind of song writing. There is nowhere enough bottom end and bass on the album leaving it all feeling a little thin.
Song Highlights: The Words That Maketh Murder, The Last Living Rose, In The Dark Places & Written On The Forehead
