How weird is PJ Harvey? I love all her albums, but this one "To Bring You My Love" was always missing from my collection. Not for lack of copies of this album either. It's everywhere. I just never got around to it. I've been a fan ever since I heard the album "Rid Of Me", but everyone I know has her stuff so I've never felt the desire to pick up copies until the demise of the CD. I think this album, her 3rd (4th if you count her "4 Track Demos" CD) is PJ at her the zenith of her acceptability for soccer moms and the like. Her videos actually got regular rotation on MTV, was featured on Rolling Stone and the like. And as quickly as that faded, she never made an album like this again. It's definitely still a weird one, "Meet Ze Monstra" is this stomping number, while immediately following it, "Working For The Man" is a quiet, intense burner. I've decided I need a lot more PJ Harvey in my life, the albums are all there in the bins, waiting for me to pick them up, and they're cheap too. I've got a few, (Dry, Rid Of Me, 4 Track Demos), but not all. It should be easy. No singles or B-Sides collections though unfortunately....10 songs makes the count at 17972....
