Dry

c'est bien d'agrandir sa culture musicale et c'est tout ce que j'ai a dire la dessus

Didn’t like it

My hears are bleeding

Not sure how to feel on album start, little slow for me, but I might just not be in the mood for this right now. Liked the ending of Dress kind of got bored and didn't realize it ended, 6/10?

Joe & a few others songs peeked my interest but overall PJ left me empty on her debut.

not for me...sounds like they're trying to be sloppy in a way that works, idk. not my cup of tea

I didn't love it

Decent - would probably benefit from further listens

Honestly thought this was going to wind up being some average grungy album, but I actually enjoyed it more than I thought. There were some good tracks on here, and even though I don’t plan on coming back to it, it was a pleasant surprise. Would love to give it something higher than a 3, but it’s not quite a 4 for me Favorite track(s): “Victory,” “Hair,” and “Plants and Rags”

The front half had potential, it just fell apart after that though

Very enjoyable. Raw and unfocused, but in a good way.

Rock indie. Interesante .

J'ai bien aimé son cd. Je trouvais les chansons différentes d'une à l'autre et c'était très agréable. Mon hit: Sheela-Na-Gig

Very good!

great female vocals. gritty rock sound.

Pretty interesting

Much better than the last one! I enjoyed the punky rock upbeat, and not to weird

Decent album. I enjoy PJ Harvey style as it kind of reminds me of a mix between Radiohead and Nirvana

A little too punk for my taste

Some solid tracks on this one. Pleasantly surprised.

Angular, raucous, righteous, feminist, and fully-formed straight out of the gate. A great first listen, and one of many to come I think.

Found it a bit raw and dark for my taste

This one will need another listen. I like what I heard, but it seems Life it needs to attention to appreciate it fully.

Dress, Victory

Absolutely loved it. Moved from this particular album to some more of her recent stuff, though.

Powerful, primal, in your face rock. Sheela-Na-Gig is just the most focal point of this amazing album. 4.5.

Love this, very raw

Polly Jean is someone I need to spend a lot more time with. This is good!

It's like female-led Nirvana. Cool. Ish.

Early mars Volta

Some good tunes

I came on PJ Harvey latish by way of Rid of Me and worked back to this, boy I listened to these a lot in the mid 90s. Vocals are a little inconsistent here but the fundamental structure is there.

Raw and honest. Loved it.

Interesting album. I dig it. Never heard of this artist before, went in completely blind, ended up pleasantly surprised. I like the alternative rock feel with a female frontwoman.

Really enjoyed. Dark and brooding stuff

3.5 very good, some absolute belter but knocked off .5 for some songs that were just her whining

Nothing stands out, bg music at best.

I'm enjoying this more than I expected. I think I'd like to make music like this but very much different keys and more electronix

Meh... and a couple songs were just bad. I think I only liked 1

Amazing voice, raspy and rocks out.

"Alternative" as in "i don't like it emo kinda way", cringy

certainly a lot of talent here and strong first album... just not really my vibe and struggled to get into it.

I quite liked this. It had some really good sounding guitar and was more melodic than the previous one.

Excellent debut from PJ - better than the last one

I like this. in top half of albums listened to so far

Wasn't thrilled with this one. Some Ok songs some annoying ones. Nothing too great.

Like a female Cobain.

Nice 90s grunge-y vibe! Will need to listen a bit more!

it is, and sounds very much appropriate to, a debut studio album. raw energy, gorgeously creative.

There's something about PJ Harvey's early work that I just....can't get into

not a fan

Sanfte Stimme, rockig, sehr gut.

Very good surprise!

meh

PJ Harvey is a wonderful human

Much better than I remembered

nice

Probably revolutionary in 1992

Not a huge fan. Little bit too alt/punky for my taste.

Muito bom

supposedly the lyrics are really good but the music is so intense it hard to actually listen to them

Ton of fun. Love the guitar tone so much

very good

Definitely more straightforward rock and roll compared to their later releases. I like their experimentation later on a bit more but this album isn’t bad either

Excellent grunge inspired album that inspired many new female artists. The music matches the title of the album, dry yet heartfelt and well-executed with some great standout tracks like "Joe", the chaotic "Plants and Rags" and the in-your-face lyrics of "Dress". Definitely deserving to be on the 1001 list, mostly for the fact that it is one of the best female "grunge-raw" style albums out there.

I kind of liked it, but overall I'd have to give it another listen 3.5

1992. Key Songs: Sheila-na-gig, Dress

2/15 3.5/5. Some good punk. Standout Tracks: Sheela-Na-Gig, Hair, Joe

PJ harvey does not miss

The queen of indie and everything cool.

Variable, there were things i liked and things that grated.

Very good. Powerful lyrics, great punk aesthetics, love the basslines.

Not for me

Better as it ages. Nick Cave-esque
