This may be remembered as Polly Harvey's coming-of-age album. I love everything she's done and have admired her cajones since I first heard "50 Ft Queenie" way back when, but this new album is a real turning point. After dabbling in garage rock ("Dry"), grunge rock ("Rid of Me"), electronica ("Is This Desire?"), and everthing else ("To Bring You My Love"), she's ditched the studio musicians and uber-producers (i.e. Flood and Steve Albini), and made a wonderfully understated rock-and-roll album that's all her. Get it (along with all her other ones)!
