What I like about PJ Harvey is not even the bad-shit-ass good music she makes, it’s really the indiscrete and silent way she says ‘all you lady singers with your big boobs, your doggy dance moves, your sweet-shit melodies and your pseudo-alternative looks – go fuck yourselves’. She is just awesome.
‘Let England Shake’ is another quality album that shows her good work in getting the message across. She is here, she is real, she is easy. In 12 tracks England is seriously blessed with great lyrics and great tunes. This calls for a 10/10 score and a blinking pint.
Video of ‘Last Living Rose’ – you can sing along : “Goddamn Europeans / Take me back to beautiful England / And the grey damp filthiness of ages / And battered books”
Definitely one of the best album of 2011 so far...
ReplyDeleteConcerning the track, I would have picked up "The Glorious Land"...I know just a question of point of view ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8urGMpYqX2c
the whole album is perfect. 'The Glorious Land' is def in the top-3 though.
