PJ Harvey - I Inside The Old Year Dying

[greendemon]

I'll be honest, I didn't exactly rush to listen to this as after the second single I thought it was going to be too weird for me. Having finally got around to a full listen, I'm annoyed at myself for sleeping on it! The tracks individually can be quite off-putting but taken as a whole, it has this immersive yet unsettling quality that really works.

Anyone else heard it? Or was everyone else similarly off-put by the singles...

I think it is my least favourite album since 'Rid Of Me' and at last that had some good songs even if it was a bit too much Albini for me. Just couldn't get anything out of this album at all.

Honestly, I thought it was heading the same way for me at first but by the end I was hooked. I do think it's an odd time of year to release it, though - it wants longer nights and miserable weather oh no wait

I’ve been a PJ Harvey fan from the very beginning and think this is one of her best.

What would say was one of her weakest albums? Think there is just two apart from this one I never bought ‘White Chalk’?

I wasn’t much of a fan of Uh Huh Her. Dry and Let England Shake are probably my favourites.

Yeh those two are great but think ‘To Bring You My Love’ just pips ‘Dry’ for me

I'm not totally sure about this yet. As Jade says, maybe the album needs to be heard in full for it all to click.

Well the album is out, so what's stopping you?
