Maybe because he passed last week and he's front of mind right now, but you can totallyhear the Steve Albini thumbprint on this album. And that's a good thing. I love the intensity and honesty and humor and emotion on this album. If I were choosingone PJ Harvey album to put on this list I dontvknow which I'd pick. Maybe it would be this one. Maybe not. But while I was listening to it, I thought it would be. I'm gonna listen to her next release now and I'm sure I'll feel it should be that one too
