I actually had a patient request I turn it up!
I actually just had a patient to request that I change the channel.
Yap, yap, yap, yapeeee? 
Great Album! I will have to see if I can dig it up.
I like PJ a far amount but this just doesn't do if for me all that much. Voice is irritating.
She's kinda just singing one note throughout the song. Ehhhhhhhhh, I'm not too enthusiastic about this one. Yeah, the vocal tic is annoying, too.

18 years since the release of "Dry" and still sounds great. How do you define "quickly"?

she is "doing that" for some time already and she is "doing that" very well... I'd worry about her diet more than voice...

Too bad for you. Your description lists the few of many reasons she is a singular talent.

i like "c'mon billy" and "long snake moan" on this album way more. video for "billy" is good.

You are right on with this comment. As a huge fan of Patti and and PJ, (and Elvis and the Beatles and Elvis) I couldn't agree more.
Would you people stop with the PJ/Patti Smith comparisons? Two fabulous, female artists, whose main body of work stand almost two decadea apart. (Yes, I know Patti is still doing stuff and it IS great.) The idea of saying there would be no PJ without Patti is about as insightful as saying there would be no Beatles without Elvis. (Or something like that.) I'm so sick of RP listeners saying "Person Y is of no value because they remind me of person X who I love." Aside from you getting to feel oh so smug about your musical knowledge, If you want to extend that logic, there should have been only about about 5-10 musical acts in the history of pop music. Not exactly a world I'd be happy with.

"Sexism" is "the belief or attitude that one gender or sex is inferior to, less competent, or less valuable than the other." How is posting a sexy picture sexist?

This song becomes my torture. That yodel-y, gutteral, voice-destroying thing is so painful. Like Harvey usually.

I like this song, especially the sound of her voice in it. It may be "unrefined" or whatever, but that's why it works for me.
I couldn't agree with you more! Well said!

A lot of effort in one album, though critcally not so acclaimed. Great set Air - Bonobo - PJ Harvey. Works surprisingly well as always with RP.
I bought this album back when it was released, and no other record has ever pulled me in so immediately and thouroughly. I remember my brother coming in after 6 hours, asking me to put on something else :P
FWIW, I think the title track is the best, and I know of no other song from any artist that I could put higher.
Sadly I've never been able to attend a concert with PJ, but I hear she had a legendary performance in the new Norwegian opera house earlier this year.

Oh yes she has put her whole soul into this one and I LIKE IT!
I dig this song. I love to hear a woman really put herself out there, as P.J. Harvey does on this song. Raw and gritty.

I think you have it backwards. If it hadn't been for Patti paving the way for female rock poets, Polly Jean would just be another large-headed angry woman, with a scratch-blues voice.
While I agree with you in part, that Patti preceded Polly Jean and did much to set the bar for female rock poets, my statement refers to staying true to ones self.
IMHO: Patti has sold out; much of her music has aged in an ungraceful way, and - she's become a cherished relic.
Polly Jean has yet to reach her own zenith, and is a devout practitioner of her own private brand of "what you hear is what you get."

While I've never been a huge fan of her work, I've always respected her abilities as a singer, songwriter and performer. She's hard to warm up to, but she comes off as true to herself and her art and that's a heck of a lot more than you can say for some musicians who've amassed greater accolades and money than she has.
Then not long ago she was the guest artist on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic and as the interview progressed all I could think was "Holy f***, what a self-centered, self-aggrandizing everything-in-the-world-revolves-around-me person she is!" - and it became clear to me why I never put her on the same sky-high pedestal as some fans and critics have.
Her MBE appearance should be in the KCRW archives ... sorry, but I'm too lazy to dig it up.
I'm a longtime fan of her music and appreciate your remarks about her abilities. Thanks for the info on the interview. I've seen her live 6 times, but I've never seen, read or heard an interview. I will definitely search for it.

Hard to take as serious criticism from someone who gives high marks to Blur and Arctic Monkeys.

PJ, like any worthwhile artist, has numerous influences. If all you hear is Patti Smith, the problem is with your ears.
And what is the obsession around here with criticizing things that are rough edged, unpolished, unslick? Most everything be slick and clean for you folks to like it?
My absolute number one album of the 90s. A masterpiece as far as I am concerned.

wow...once enough was bad, but to quote yourself with something so incredibly stupid?? I feel bad even criticizing you because you must be somehow....challenged.
Last time I saw her she was opening for U2 I believe. Big arena and her voice filled every corner. 
Channeling Patti Smith for sure.
PJ Harvey has a powerful, clear voice, but I could do without the rough edges.....Wreckless Eric could get away with it, but not her. All in all a fine song.
nice tune, nice girl.
always like the edge in the voice as if its close to breaking down!!
Everytime this starts I think cool-Patti Smith. But it's uncool.

I don't think of myself as a particularly right-on sort of guy, but these comments still irritate me. One, because they're not funny; two, because PJ, and this song, are fantastic. In any case, there's hardly been a shortage of male artists who sing about shitty relationships - in fact, you could argue that's what started the whole thing off (ie.the Blues).
I like her voice....not the song
PJ rocks!!!
