Álbum bem psicodélico.
Nice
So damn boring. 5
I have some other PJ Harvey tracks that I like better. Whilst I am not generally offended by her rather witchy, folky style, this got a bit to waily sometimes.
I’m really surprised at how much I liked this.
Just never been able to get into pj harvey
3.5*. not a bad album just not my taste. a good sound but like i said not my taste...
Not my cup of tea, but I can hear the depth.
Ni fu ni fa. Se escucha y ya. Supongo que la lista se hizo en el año de publicación más o menos y se vio afectado por la novedad. PJ Harvey tiene discos mejores.
Again, amazing musician, but her songs after 2 decades still come off a bit forced. But not a bad album.
Legendario
Rich orchestral live sound. Really beautiful instrument, is that autoharp? Also really weird, would expect no less from PJ. Lots of folk influence, lyrically, conceptually, musically. I think I would give it a 5 if this was less obvious. I do prefer her more growling vocal sound from older albums. The thinner vocals here have a slightly annoying faux childish sound. I still think of this as her "new album" even though its now 10 years old.
Really really good. Not sure how this rolled past me 10 years ago :thinking_face:

Let England Shake is the eighth studio album by English singer-songwriter and musician PJ Harvey, released on 14 February 2011 Upon release, the album received numerous accolades. It was placed 2011 "Album of the Year" by 16 publications[3] and in September 2011 won the coveted Mercury Prize. Mike Williams of NME wrote: "Francis Ford Coppola can lay claim to the war movie. Ernest Hemingway the war novel. Polly Jean Harvey, a 41-year-old from Dorset, has claimed the war album."
Um, what? Terrible.
Not my typical genre. Very interesting sound. Sorta mix between 90s female grungey sound with a splash of bluegrassy sound? Hard to pinpoint but enjoyable none the less. "On Battleship Hill" she HITS it. Cool song and flow. A handful of sprinkling of surprise instrument fills heard throughout. I didn't listen to the lyrics closely but overall I enjoyed this quite a bit. Would like to relisten with attention given to the lyrics.
Honestly, I really don't think this was a good choice for me. It seemed to alternate between overly patriotic and nationalistic which felt awkward and while technically the music was well made, it was just not enjoyable because of the themes.
Melodic folk punk pop grooves
i like PJ, but this one kinda missed me. the first track that made me turn and look to see what it was...was the first one that played after the album was finished.
I like her voice. Musically it’s ok. I suspect it’s mainly a lyrical success but I haven’t closely listened.
Not my bag at all, but I can respect it.
No me está enganchando. Lo siento. 2.00
Muy bueno.
The songs themselves are good. The instrumentals can be a bit weird at times which is ok but not my thing. Where this album shines for me is the vocals, her voice is amazing. At times it has a haunting feel I couldn't get over how great they sound.
Gen X angst as it ages. I didn’t care for it.
i don't get it. not my thing
Not a fan. Never heard of the band, the music was run of the mill, not even sure how it made this list.
Very coherent sound, dark but futuristic, relaxing but engaging, like an elf making a nick cave album. Has something of björk I'd say... Definitely sounds of maturity and maybe a bit of complacency, but not in a bad way.
Ok album. Very much 2010 hipster based. Interesting use of instruments. Little boring for my taste.
Verschrikking
Feels much more refined than the debut album by PJ Harvey. Sadder. An eulogy for a kingdom.
Not for me. Just a bit boring I found.
eh
It was alright but not really my kind of jam.
Not bad. But music that did not get me rightaway.
PJ is one of those artists I want to like so much...
I can't do anymore quirky clap clap
I wanted to like it but didn't
not really me tbh.
ASTOUNDING
Rock album. Not bad, wouldn't listen to it again.
Second album I get by PJ, same as the other one - I don't think it is anything special
2.75. There was one or 2 songs that were enjoyable. But couldn't get into it. Music was good, but nothing blew me out of the water
I preferred her earlier work
Made me think of Feist and Agnes Obel. This one is definitely a keeper!
Squealing. Annoying
Very English. Revisit when in a Billy Bragg mood.
Average album, annoying at parts
Eh
Need to listen again. A bit bellyesque. Some sloppy time signatures in there though
Don’t really like this genre of music.
Lyrics are hard to understand
good music but not really my daily listen type
Pleasant surprise!
Meh
Decent albums, not as wannabe different than her previous one from the 90s however still with an edge. Ultimately though not enough standout songs to warrant a 4
lots of love for England. Decent songs
My introduction to PJ Harvey. Really good album, cool vibe.
Y
Timeless sound and feel to the album, harkens back to a Scott Walker grandiosity in scope and tone
She definitely doesn’t have as much gruff in her voice as her past records, but I think it suits her better. The intro track is a little odd. It’s not COMPLETELY blowing me away but I definitely enjoy it. The production from inside the church definitely has this cavernous feeling to it. Like you gotta lean in to it. Nice reverb to everything. GREAT instrumentation. It sounds pretty consistent, maybe “uniform” if you want to be harsh. Butevery track is super solid.
Mot as good as the other one.
listening on loop
Doesn't do the country justice
PJ förtjänar 100% att ha album med i denna lista men detta var inte "it".
PJ Harvey
Alternativ rock, politisk, god vokal, sangskrivning
Pretty interesting album, enjoyed it much more the second time around
Eh. I wasn't really crazy about it. Appreciate the anti-war lyrical content (at least that's what I got from my gleening), but the rest of the music doesn't really do much for me. Favorite tracks: "Bitter Branches", "The Glorious Land"
1/4 Cool modern folk album. Standout Tracks: The Words That Maketh Murder, On Battleship Hill
Good stuff again from PJH
