Rid Of Me

So many boring tracks that sounded so similar I couldn't really tell when one ended and the next began.

not my sound

Really didn’t enjoy this album

Yeah, no.

Ik heb het echt geprobeerd, maar ik vind het zeurderig en saai. Ik kan wel alle nummers 1 op 1 gaan opnoemen, maar dan komen we tot dezelfde conclusie. Niks voor mij

Hell to the naw naw

I really didn't care for this album at all. Her voice was often off key and the instrumentation was annoying. So far, my least favorite album.

did not finish.

Not a fan

Raw, powerful, emotional, atonal, rubbish. Write some songs Polly, write some songs.

Sooo I actually hated this album. Right from the beginning the vocals were just awful and not impressive at all. A bunch of screaming does nothing for me. No respect for this album, I don’t see what was aimed for.

Not for me. Too experimental and nothing to really tap your toes to. Most songs just go from really quiet to really loud. I can understand why some people like PJ Harvey, but these songs just don't do it for me.

Yeah this ain’t the female music I can dig. I get the booming grunge scene and that this came out as response. But it just ain’t for me. 2 out of 10

Rid and Dry were ok, the rest was not good

Coming down from the Led Zeppelin high, we were bound to get a one-star record at some point. From the very first track, PJ Harvey establishes a bipolar style of quiet vocals contrasted against loud instrumentals that may as well be pots and pans falling down a staircase. I want to give this album a fair shot, but when I turn up the volume just to be greeted with a cowbell amplified by a bullhorn, I don’t appreciate it. You could argue that true art can’t possibly be appreciated by everyone, and I’d respond that some art just sucks. Her cover of Bob Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited” is blasphemous. What was once only the title track of an all-time great album is here scrambled into a hardly recognizable soup of what can be described charitably as “noises.” Some albums are hard for me to listen to, and Rid Of Me is one of them. It’s yet another reminder that this list is not about the best albums, but rather albums that should be heard. Even that claim I tend to disagree with sometimes.

Live vanaf het Festival voor de Lelijke Muziek in Enkhuizen. En dan is dit toch wel de hoofdact. De kenners zullen dit wel weer fantastisch vinden, maar voor mij is gewoon een hoop gekras, gesteun, gegil en geblèr. Als ze dacht: er willen een boel mensen 'Van me af', dan heeft ze gelijk. Ik heb het halverwege afgezet. Volgende plaat graag.

I've tried PJ Harvey a few times and I just can't get into her music. Just nothing appeals.

Not in the mood.

no.

This is some of the worst noise I have ever heard

PJ Harvey also does not deserve this many place on this list. 2 This ass 1

Not for me, I really just don't get it, 1.5 stars

This fucking sucks lmfao

Nothing spoke to me or made me happy to listen.

I really have no clue why this list loves this woman so much. After giving the other three albums of her I had the misfortune to listen 2 stars, this one is even worse than the others and only gets 1. Unpleasant, sludgy noise. Fourth-rate garage band vibes.

I did not enjoy this album at all, I didn’t even like one song. There were elements that I was on with, but over all not sure why I even listened to the whole thing.

This is the third PJ Harvey album ob this list. I really tried to listen to it without prejudice, since i didn't like the other two. I still can't stand her voice nor her "singing" style. In the other albums at least i liked the band. This time i didn't. This was actually one of the worst albums for me on this list. I wish i could abstain from rating even a single star. There ist not even one song on this album, that i even remotely "liked".

Not for me.

A little too aggressive for my taste. some of her other songs I like though!

Indie screeching

Kategoria powiedzenia wyspiarskie, z deszczu pod rynne, bo po Slayerowym picku nie sadzilem, ze cos jeszcze w tym tygodniu bedzie sola na rane, a jednak wylosowalo kolejny album od pani PJ Harvey, Rid Of Me, ktory jest jej drugim studyjnym krazkiem z 93, ktory jest follow upem do goraco przyjetego Dry, ktory juz pojawil sie wczesniej na liscie, tak w ogole jest to czwarta pozycja od tej pani, wiec juz nie tyle sama muzyka, co znudzenie nia wywoluje w czlowieku negatywnce uczucia, bo w przeciwienstwie do let england shake brakuje tutaj ciekawego grania wychodzacego poza standardy artystycznego indyjskiego rokowania, a za to jest klasyczne trio z Dry, wiec gitara, bas i drumy, do tego dodatkowe instrumentowanie od pani Harvey w postaci organow czy smyczkow, ktore slychac przede wszystkim na man-sizowym sextecie, ktory wyroznia sie tym, ze nie harczy jak wiekszosc materialu z tej plyty, ktory brzmi wrecz piwnicznie przez te przesterowane gitary i gleboki basior, co do strony lirycznej to nadal slychac podobne motywy co na Ridzie, wiec nadal zagubiona i nadal zla mloda dama ktora wyrzuca swe wnetrze jako kontent swych utworow, do tego dochodzi jeszcze zbrodnia na coverze dylanowskiego highwaya i tak zamyka sie prawie 50 minutowy odsluch, niby 1001 albumow na liscie, ale jakims dziwnym trafem znajdzie sie miejsce na polowe dyskografii lokalnych artystow wyspiarskich

Listened to on 5/12/22 1/5 No songs I don’t like anything about PJ Harvey’s style of music - too chaotic for me

Skal la være å gjenta meg selv, men dette er ikke min type musikksmak. Blir litt lamslått av at det får så gode tilbakemeldinger og finnes på 1001 album. Bare fordi en person varierer mellom å hviske inn i mikrofonen og hyle fra full hals gjør det ikke nyskapende og bra. Såvidt 1/5, burde være 0,5/5

Didn't like this one. 1/5 stars.

Slightly better than the last one but pj Harvey is not for me. 2.5/10

I liked it kinda sounded like someone stepped on a cats tail at a few spots but good overall.

Just after half way something akin to a tune emerged. Otherwise it felt like we had wandered into a forge. May well be better live.

pass -

Not another PJ Harvey album :( I have stated that I can't stand her voice

Can't say I really liked much, if any, of this. Not my type of music

Niet afgewerkt. Mooie stem, maar de muziek kon niet overtuigen.

Gave up. Not for me.

could not get on with it

Meh. Not bothered at all.

pretty rugid - not helped by the kinda dirty production. I get the grunge influences, and i like some of her later stuff but this was just pretty....shite.

Boring

Like ice picks in my ears. Big yikes all throughout. 1/10.

i feel like i'm at my local watering in the mid 90's hole waiting for my favorite local band Rosemary Gates, and I'm listening to the opening local act... its fine, yet unremarkable. Its like background music at hot topic. I don't understand how this one and GFK got on here. top 1k? ever? there is no way this was groundbreaking in 93. perhaps its just my boomer sensibilities. top 3.... 1of5

SHIT

Not very good at singing

not my thing
