But don't be mislead by the moniker, because only the distinct talent of a Patti Smith, a Joan Jett, or a Melissa Etheridge could ever hope to have a chance of out rocking her in a head to head match. This album, her seventh, is her most lauded and most accomplished since To Bring You My Love . Most people think of P.J. Harvey as an alternative rock artist of the mid 90s, but I can only see great things to come. This album stands apart from her previous discography, in that it is the product of a fully matured artist. A sexual metaphor, or a menacing song about people looking for a safe place.
Fear is a tool.
Give me the gun, yes indeed. A favorite of mine. A place to return to. We all need a person or a place to return to. A song to her husband.
