How can someone so unpredictable behave so predictably? Every time PJ Harvey releases something sophisticated and clean like 2000's Mercury Music Prize tipped Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea, it just about guarantees a contradictory follow-up album is around the bend. Her ambitious 1992 debut, Dry, inspired the bitter death rattle of Rid of Me. Her third offering, 1995's elegant To Bring You My Love, gave way to the stormy Is This Desire?. Harvey's sixth solo album, Uh Huh Her, doesn't disappoint. It's a nasty riposte to the success of its predecessor, built on grubby blues-punk riffs and the brooding, primal howl that Harvey uses when she wants to impersonate a she-wolf. Some of it seems disappointingly remedial ("The Letter," "Cat on the Wall"), but the best material ("The Desperate Kingdom of Love," "Who the Fuck?") just reconfirms that no matter how raw the British songwriter serves it up, the beauty of her work is undeniable. --Aidin Vaziri

Good album........2007-02-11

I can have this album playing all the time,it's just a moody album,i love that in it,the tone is moody,the lyrics are so expressive,this album is human,i am not going to describe each song,each one has a different flow. I almost felt she didn't put alot of effort in this album,like it came naturally;it just comes so easy,like a first reaction or impression,she has a deeply beautiful voice,her music generally is great,she is an artist in every way,i know she made better albums,but this could have been easily commericialized,the song titles,the lyrics,the music is just so smooth.I just feel this album and it feels me,give it a try.You don't waste your money buying a PJ Harvey album.

A Typical Offering Which Does Not Disappoint.......2006-12-17

The opening riffs of 'The Life and Death of Mr. Badmouth' demonstrate PJ's prowess as a songwriter and performer. Wave upon wave on sound build to a cresendo leading to a wall of silence at the end. 'Shame' is one of my favorite tracks. I will not review this album track by track. Suffice it to say that this is a fantastic CD.

Longtime fans will not be disappointed. If you are new to PJ's work, this would be a good second purchase. Start with 'To Bring You My Love' or 'Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea.' Either of these is a good place to begin.

Buy this CD.

POLLY IS AN EAR-TEASE!.......2006-11-14

Okay, usually the sound of PJ's intense, obsessive moaning sets me to drooling. I need to confess that much to you. This, however, is the most frustrating addition to her canon. It promises so much and delivers so very little.
From the pouty frown on the cover to the opening salvo of "Mr. Badmouth", I thought this was going to be another stunner like STORIES FROM THE CITY. Not even close. There are a handful of moments here that smolder like the best of her work but never spark and catch fire. This sounds like it was written & recorded in one day. Not her best day. Everything sounds unfinished. I don't mean raw like DRY or abrasive like RID OF ME. I mean a distinct lack of power. There are a lot of song fragments. "No Child Of Mine" could have been one of the finest PJ HARVEY songs, but at the precise moment where she seems ready to veer it into greatness she chokes it. Stops it dead. It may be an attempt at a middle-finger taunt, but it's not dramatic. Just irritating. The most fleshed out number is "Pocketknife". It's as good as anything she's ever done...and sounds completely out of place here. "The Desperate Kingdom of Love" plays like an out-take from IS THIS DESIRE? It's got a delicate beauty but is recorded at levels that over-emphasize QUIET! I don't need to be beat over the head with silence. I get it. It's not an original idea. F@$# post-modernism. She's fully capable of working "The Darker Days Of Me & Him" into a frothy intoxicating brew. She just didn't do it. Aside from that there are songs on here that are utterly unlistenable.

With UH HUH HER she's giving you scraps. Sure her scraps would be seen as brilliance in lesser artists but she's NOT a lesser artist.

Of course you must own this if you're a fan. You wouldn't want to be without "Pocketknife", "Mr. Badmouth" or even the 68 seconds of "No Child of Mine", but if you are just now coming around to Polly's gifts? You can skip this one.

Not as good as most PJ.......2006-08-22

This album seems a bit scattered, with about half filler and half good material. I think this was done around the same time as Marianne Faithfull's BEFORE THE POISION, which was mostly written by PJ Harvey. She seems to have saved some of her best songs for that album rather than this one.

i use to sit upon this rooftop in seattle.......2006-06-21

staring out at elliott bay watching the glow of the moon overshadow the water and when id listen to the end of pj harvey's album uh huh her... the last four songs always would make me cry. i was immediately taken to the place that had always been apart of me. if you'd like to relive my view, please listen to these few songs... close yr eyes and imagine yrself among the most beautiful waters you've ever seen.

11. the end
12. the desperate kingdom of love
13. seagulls
14. the darker days of me & him

buy the album.

i long for i long for i long for my home i long for a land where no man was ever known with no neurosis, no psychosis, no psychoanalysis and no sadness...

this may be my favorite harvey album.......2004-06-05

with UH HUH HER, i think pj harvey has managed to successfully combine her pop influences and still perform at her raw, gutteral, emotional best.

where DRY was raw and jarring and heart, and STORIES FROM THE CITY, ETC. was all polish, UH HUH HER is filled with emotionally powerful songs that still manage to be beautifully done and even, i admit, catchy.

think of your favorite songs from TO BRING YOU MY LOVE and DANCE HALL AT LOUSE POINT and you will have a pretty good idea of the feel of this album. "meet ze monster" would be at home on this album. only, with UH HUH HER that quality (though not the tone) is consistent throughout.

from the raw, powerful opening of "the life and death of mr. badmouth" ("your lips/are poison") to the more melodic "pocket knife" ("can't you see my pocket knife/you can't make me be your wife") the album is full of the kind of music that fans of harvey love her for -- without seeming stale, or a retread of past efforts.

there are one or two missteps, but i think UH HUH HER is harvey's most consistently high quality album, both raw and melodic, emotional and well structured.
