From February 2011 Mojo magazine:

Ahhaha. Love the illustration. That was a really great review! Someone has obviously done their research by the looks of things...

_________________

I would have to say exactly the opposite, considering how the reviewer writes of "Nine months since Harvey debuted those words". probably referring to Polly's appearance on the Andrew Marr show last April, and apparently ignorant of the previous year's gigs in Portsmouth and Lulworth, which is where those words (of "Let England Shake") were in fact debuted.
and later in the same paragraph: "Harvey's hometown of Yeovil". the expression of a journalist who isn't in the know. (but they are mistakes typically made by non-Polly-followers.)

but I enjoyed reading this piece nonetheless. it's especially good to get some snippets of the new lyrics.

To be honest, I was kind of disappointed when I heard she's visiting the "outside" as opposed to twisted internal feelings. But the more I read about this the more excited I am. I wonder if AWAMWB's "Soldier" inspired her to go this route. I'm really curious to hear the music this time, I feel like it's going to have this epic feel. The "England" lyrics are gorgeous btw. Too many thoughts at once, sorry!

Notwithstanding the 2 extremely minor errors that Polyphoniac points out, that's a really outstanding piece of writing and the illustration is perfect. Thanks for uploading it sanvean!

Nice review and pic. Thanks Sanvean!

Well, ok. Maybe there are a few inaccuracies. But it's a lot better than some of the reviews i've read in the past. E.g. referrring to White Chalk as the follow up to Stories, or To Bring You My Love as the predecessor of Dry. I Suppose by "Nine Months since she debuted those words" He meant to the general public rather than just her fans.

Thanks sanvean.

I'm so looking foward to everything about this album. The new lyrics might just be among her best ever.

Anyone else think of "Chronicles of Narnia" when they see that illustration? No? Ok.....

Thanks for posting. I know we've all said this a million times already, but I cannot wait to hear this album. C'mon snippets!
