WARNING -- COPY PROTECTED "CD",
By A Customer
This review is from: Uh Huh Her (Audio CD)
This is not a real CD but a copy-protected disc which can only be played on some equipment some of the time. You can not play it on all CD players or computers (it will actually crash some computers) and you can not rip it for use on your MP3 or mini-disc player. The record company is violating "fair use" by removing your right to transfer the album to other media.I love PJ Harvey and perhaps this is a wonderful album but I am unable to listen to mine. This is a defective product and I am returning mine.

A very disappointing effort.,
By T.F.H. "ozlifter" (McAlester, OK USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Uh Huh Her (Audio CD)
This is my 6th PJ Harvey cd. And it's probably my least favorite. I waited awhile before I wrote this review. I wanted to have a chance to listen to this cd many times and absorb it. I'd read many other reviews here that said the cd would grow on you after awhile, so I wanted to be fair before I wrote my opinion. I've probably heard it about 10-15 times now. And I think no more favorably of it now than I did when I first gave it a listen.Let me start off by saying that if I were judging this cd on it's own merit, I would probably give it 3 stars. The first 5 songs here are nice (not great or that memorable though). The rest of the cd is just really a watered-down version of what this genious is capable of. BUT, I'm judging this cd in comparison with the rest of PJ Harvey's catalog, and it just doesn't stand up. I know there are a lot of people out there who really like this cd, so maybe I'm missing something...but my honest opinion is that this is the weakest of her albums. I love PJ Harvey. I think To Bring You My Love is the best cd of the 90's--hands down. But Uh Huh Her doesn't even make a blip on my radar. It's forgettable and expendable. Too much filler and not enough substance.

Uh huh... huh?,
By E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Uh Huh Her (Audio CD)
One of the biggest problems with a brilliant early career is that everything after it gets compared unfavorably. So it is with "Uh Huh Her," the latest by now-legendary PJ Harvey. It's too light and soft in places, but midway through Harvey's deliciously abrasive rockers burst on through.It starts off with "The Life and Death of Mr. Badmouth," an awkwardly ominous song followed by the poppier "Shame" and "Pocket Knife." But Harvey hits her stride with the hilarious, snarly "Who the F*ck?", the dirgelike "Letter," and the dizzy, staticky "Cat on the Wall." After a forgettable pair of ballads and befuddling track of seagull noises, Harvey closes the album on the steady "Darker Days of Me & Him." Harvey is something of a rock legend now, with her rough wailing vocals and bluesy-punky-rocky riffs. In "Uh Huh Her," Harvey seems to be taking a different road -- her songs are somewhat poppier and less raw at times, but she proves she can still blow us away with her unpolished gems. Harvey's voice changes from a rough howl, to a murmur in "Pocket Knife." She's pretty solid in either, but she sounds uneasy in the softer songs, like she isn't sure whether it's working or not. But she sticks close to the angst, anger, and the darker ponderings that she does well. And her solid riffs are just as versatile, ranging from mournful to vaguely folky. When Harvey's writing is good, it's very very good. And when it's bad... well, it's mediocre. She manages a subtle, erotic longing in "Letter," where she sings, "Can't you see/In my handwriting/The curve Of my g?/The longing... Wet the envelope/Lick and lick it." On the other hand, there is the flaccid "Dancing in circles on the kitchen floor/I'll play this song 'til I can't take anymore." Okay, whatever. PJ Harvey isn't in her best form in "Uh Huh Her," but she does produce some solid, memorable songs that earn the "repeat button." Spotty but worth checking out.
