The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

I think the source of the reviews that are mixed or negative is that expectation of what a political album is. I mean, I suppose its natural to desire awnsers and some closure. But that's not an artists job, and I get the feeling PJ wants us to be uncomfortable lol. I think a lot of people are just used to very basic emotions being expressed it songs, like Adele. I almost feel like this could be one of those albums that is more appreciated in 10-15 years time. Exile on Main Street, Velvet Underground and Nico. Dark and difficult albums often take some time to be fully appreciated.

thank you, tuned in

Wow!

What an interesting song! I wasn't exactly sure what I was expecting with this tune based on that awesome initial preview clip- but this was intensely satisfying! Such a unique rhythm happening.

Literally as soon as the song ended, my local record shop called to say the album was in! I will pick it up in a few hours. So excited.

Lucky you! Enjoy!! Will be Friday for me.

the breathing and the crazy sax's are my favorite part, i do have the say the song is a bit "depressing". the track really does a great job of putting you into a different place though. i don't know, the song is actually making my eyes a little damp.

Uh, Spin suffers of some kind of Stereogumish lack of capacity to understand her approach
