		The aptly titled Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea plays like an almanac of her adventures of the past few years, and reflects a newfound sense of self.
		Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea has to rank as a work more musically accessible than her early material and more emotionally direct than her later stuff.
		On her fifth solo release, Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, she may be maturing, or more vulnerable, or more vulnerable to her maturity.

		Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea--the sixth album from the most incendiary female British performer to emerge in the 1990s--is as powerful a record as any Polly Jean Harvey has made.
		Stories from the City is the work of a singular talent at the peak of her powers.
		She may not break new ground with Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, but Polly Jean Harvey proves one thing: she sure knows how to tend to her plot.

		Mexico City is trapped between the limitations of its geography and a way of life shaped by the internal combustion engine.
		Mexico City pulses with energy but thanks to its geography, population and the internal combustion engine, it is on the verge of environmental disaster.
		Though Mexico City sits on top of a vast aquifer it's in danger of running dry because 70 percent of the city's drinking water is pumped from the underground reservoir.

	NME.COM - Reviews - Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
		PJ Harvey's sixth album purports to be a collection of songs drawn from experiences in various cities, and from her hermetic life on the English coast.
		In fact, from the opening chimes of 'Big Exit', the nervy guitars of Television recaptured, 'Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea' is a traditional New York record, both in texture and imagery.
		More pertinently, 'Stories...' is PJ Harvey's best album since 1991's 'Dry', a return to the feral intensity of that remarkable debut.

		Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea (Island)
		Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea is the accessible PJ Harvey, and welcome to her.
		The rocking songs mention the city, the slower songs mention the world, while each one propelled by a rhythm that is sometimes slow but always going places, usually with a churning guitar sound I believe to be of her own making.

	The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
		As consistent, enjoyable and flat out rocking as Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea is, it is also the first PJ Harvey that is relatively free of danger for the listener.
		And with Stories, it was the first of her albums where a seasoned PJ Harvey listener wasn't exactly bowled over by her boldness.
		She also had her share of haunting ballads, namely the ghostly closing track "We Float." Stories may be a standard rock album, but Harvey can still make even a traditional rock album sound as dangerous as falling head over heels in love.

	The Hidden Flow of History:
		Before the Aqueduct's completion, the city had drawn its very scant water from increasingly stagnant wells; in fact, it is estimated that in 1830, the city's population of 202,000 was producing approximately 100 tons of excrement every day, which was being deposited into this same soil from which they drew their drinking water.
		Thus it is more important than ever for the City to be aware of water, not as something free that just comes from the tap, but as a vital resource that must be protected, collected, and transported to the city.
		It is both natural and inevitable that growing cities will sacrifice their past for their present, "paving over history," as it were, and nowhere is this more obvious than in the case of municipal infrastructure, which becomes obsolete like any machine.

	P.J. Harvey - Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		While her previous albums were harrowing documents of unrest, depression, ecstasy and pain, Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea shows Polly, now 30, is more comfortable in her skin.
		The music has returned to the rawer rock 'n' roll of her first two albums, but with much calmer tempos, varying from driving rhythms traveling past blurred lights, and the rolling and swaying of a boat ride.
		It presents a flurry of vice, and from the center of the maelstrom, Polly doesn't preach, merely observes "Too many people out of love/The city's ripped right to the core." "You Said Something" distills a romantic moment "On a rooftop in Brooklyn" where her lover said something she's never forgotten.

		The lyrics on Stories from the City are just as average as the music-- so average, perhaps, as to seem much worse than they actually are.
		Stories from the City does have a couple of songs interesting enough to almost save it from the desert of mediocrity.
		In the end, Stories from the City ends up just slightly to the right of the dead middle ground.

		By returning to her roots, PJ Harvey has created what could quite possibly be the album of the year, as well as the best British release of the year.
		On Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea, she obviously owes a debt of gratitude to Patti Smith, especially obvious on first single “Good Fortune” and later tracks “You Said Something” and the rollicking “Kamikaze”.
		The comparison to the first four Velvet Underground records is apparent but never overstated, and in Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea she may well have delivered her masterpiece record.

	Slant Magazine - Music Review: PJ Harvey: Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
		Stories is Harvey's love poem to New York (there are no less than 10 references to the Big Apple's boroughs, bridges, buildings and such).
		So why is she so horrified by its people's inherent sadness in "The Whores Hustle and the Hustlers Whore?" In the end, the one song in which she attempts to explore New York's underbelly fails to dig very deep.
		Stories is decidedly stripped down, with a quality akin to a 1970s 4-track demo.

		Like Queen’s "Bohemian Rhapsody", this is the kind of song that generates success through excessive air play (bearing in mind that Queen knew a radio DJ who played their song over and over and ensured its sudden popularity).
		The overwhelming perception is that two Britons are thrown in together by circumstance and together try to escape the inexpressible confines of an alien city: "And I have seen/The sunrise/Over the river/The freeway/Reminding/Of this mess we’re in".
		To categorise PJ Harvey’s music is not easy but it appears to be a cross between light rock, folk and Britpop and in some instances the three genres can be heard being used separately.

		This will not go down in history as the record on which PJ Harvey started taking herself less seriously, but after years of brooding and often maddeningly somber rock, this often stripped-down outing is her finest in a long time.
		Stories was also featured on Pitchfork Media's Staff Writers' top twenty of 2000 lists.

		Stories From the City, Stories From The Sea is further evidence that Polly Jean Harvey is one of the preeminent acts in music today.
		And while that might not be saying much when "artists" such as Limp Biscuit and Kid Rock currently rule the charts, she yet again proves that she can hold her own when compared with the best artists of any era.
		Black Sea is definitely one of the best of the bunch, featuring some of their most well-crafted songs performed in a more hard-hitting approach than any of their previous efforts.

		Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea is by far the most mature, personal, and restrained effort of Harvey's impressive career to date.
		Rumors abound that the songs on the album were inspired by Harvey's stay in New York with her boyfriend last year.
		This collection is not the most powerful artistic statement Harvey has made, but it's certainly her strongest endorsement of humanity -- and that's reason enough to love it.

	PJ Harvey - Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea, Uh Huh Her Review
		The cover of her latest effort, Uh Huh Her, is very DIY but I think it is indeed purposely because the music on the album seems a little more stripped back than her previous few albums.
		Harvey stated at some point that her Mercury Prize winning Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea was too mainstream and that she only did the album to see if she could.
		On Stories From The City though, PJ has rediscovered what has made her such a charming singer / songwriter.

		PJ Harvey's fifth album "Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea" is the singer/songwriter's finest album and should please fans of her older albums and new fans alike.
		"Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea" is somewhat slicker, less rough-around-the-edges than her other albums.
		She changes colors yet again in the 2000 release of "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea", and trust me, it's a big change.
