	PJ Harvey: Uh Huh Her (2004): Reviews
		But if Uh Huh Her doesn't rise to the level of Harvey's best work, it does possess a grim, unvarnished beauty; a beauty that, while it might repel a few of the fans she gained with Stories, capably rewards devotees of her earlier, unburnished and uncompromising works.
		Uh Huh Her is a lesson in contentment, anger, disappointment, independence – seductive psychosis.
		Uh Huh Herb is a disappointment, the tepid, not-quite-there record that many artists seem to make after hitting a career peak.

	Guardian \| PJ Harvey, Uh Huh Her
		One theory is that her paymasters are terrified of her.
		It's presumably for the same reason that Uh Huh Her has an unpronounceable title and an unlisted track consisting entirely of seagull noises: wilful obtuseness is part of the deal.
		But whether Uh Huh Her is destined to remain on permanent repeat in your CD player or up on the shelf next to The Faust Tapes and that "legendary" King Tubby reissue you never got round to playing, is another matter.

	Uh Huh Her - PJ Harvey - Song Listings
		Her ever-changing sound keeps her music open to interpretation, and her seventh album, Uh Huh Her, is no different in that it departs from what came before it.
		Uh Huh Her -- a title that can be pronounced and interpreted as an affirmation, a gasp, a sigh, or a laugh -- is, as Harvey promised, darker and rawer than the manicured Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea.
		Still, Uh Huh Her does so many things right, like the gorgeous, Latin-tinged "Shame" and the stripped-down beauty of "The Desperate Kingdom of Love" (one of a handful of short, glimpse-like songs that give the album an organic ebb and flow), that its occasional stumbles are worth overlooking.

		Harvey is also accompanied by a soft, harmonica track that she performs with her sexually laden lyrics of ambiguity and her mesmerizing, high-pitch, blues-wailing vocals.
		The song is raw, unadulterated Harvey with her angry lyrics filled with intense sexuality in her vocals proving that she is sexy with just her voice and guitar.
		With Harvey’s vocals and her desperate lyrics of love is filled with her raw emotions and minimalist musical presentations in the guitars and drums.

	Observer \| PJ Harvey, Uh Huh Her
		Her penchant for movement was most obviously illustrated by her album with John Parish, Dance Hall At Louse Point, which accompanied a contemporary piece of the same name by the Mark Bruce Dance Company in 1996.
		But her other albums have also kept up a kind of tango of rapprochement and retreat with the listening world.
		Her voice can now accommodate girlish suspicion, she-wolf snarls and warm wisdom all in the space of 13 songs.

	Uh Huh Her \| The Onion - America's Finest News Source
		Harvey produced Uh Huh Her herself, and she plays every instrument but the percussion.
		While all of this helps make Uh Huh Her one of Harvey's least predictable albums, it doesn't always make it one of her best.
		Her varied approach yields varied results: Sometimes the disc sounds like a mature summing up of previous work; at other times, it sounds like a closet-cleaning.

	"Uh Huh Her": not an album to forget - Silver Chips Online
		In "Uh Huh Her," Harvey merges her previous trademark musical specialties, which range from haunting lyrics and deep growling vocal tracks to falsetto moans and a never ending palette of mixed emotions that grace each track in an unforgettable manner.
		Embracing the absurd and less melodically-inviting, Harvey dives into a song entirely of her thrashing hard rock spirit that was embossed in the early portion of her musical career.
		Thus, the adjective for "Uh Huh Her" is "complete": it's an album that puts in so much effort and delivers out even more artistic and audio beauty for its audience, a win-win situation.

	PJ Harvey, Uh Huh Her: Album Review : Soul Shine Magazine
		Even though she won the Mercury Prize for her last album, PJ Harvey is by no means trying to recreate that landmark record.
		'Uh Huh Her' is dark and lurking, with most tracks prominently featuring bass alongside lyrics that mock love ("I don't need no ball and chainshame is the shadow of love").
		Although 'Uh Huh Her' isn't particularly groundbreaking or exciting (by Harvey's standards at least), what it does do is prove just how vital PJ Harvey is to music.

		PJ Harvey's seventh album Uh Huh Her, the follow-up to 2001's Mercury Prize-winning Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, is released on May 31.
		The next picture was obviously taken during her art student days, judging by the way she is dressed, I would say that it must have been taken in the late 80's or early 90's.
		Uh Huh Her is a return to form of the highest order with all the elements of the Harvey craft in evidence.

	Uh Huh Her - PJ Harvey - Music Reviews
		Unfortunately, despite the commercial success of 'Stories' and more Mercury Award nominations than you could shake a coffee table leg at, 'Uh Huh Her' reinforces the growing suspicion that PJ Harvey's spilt all the emotional guts she had on her first three albums and is running on empty these days.
		Polly Harvey is the latter, a blues singer endlessly rooting through love's dark cellar, and Uh Huh Her is her latest set of basement tapes, as familiar as an old scar and as freshly stinging as a new wound.
		Uh Huh Her, Harvey’s seventh album, is an anomaly: It’s defined less by a coherent style than by the stripped-down arrangements of most of the songs, whether based on noisy electric or quiet acoustic guitar or the occasional pulsing loops.

	BBC Manchester - Music - PJ Harvey - Uh Huh Her
		Uh Huh Her is packed to the brim with the spirit of Harvey's utterly immense Rid Of Me, an album that scared and satisfied in equal measures, and is all the better for it.
		Uh Huh Her will jar a few ears that only turned towards Harvey as a result of the Music Prize, and that's no bad thing.
		Brutal and beautiful, soft and sharp, it is an album that celebrates her unique talent for doing exactly as she pleases and making it sound brilliant.

	Amazon.com: Uh Huh Her: Music: PJ Harvey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Overall, in my opinion, "Uh Huh Her" is not musically groundbreaking, and although I don't mean this as an automatic put-down, I initially thought of Harvey's choice to produce all songs and play all instruments -except drums- as a choice that limited the kind of emotional range her music often has.
		Yet, as I stay with her songs -rather than be distracted by my own expectations- I realize that where this album will stretch your perceptions of PJ Harvey's work is in her lyrics.
		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.

	PJ Harvey 'Uh Huh Her'
		Album number seven from the darling of Dorset and the follow up to 2000's Mercury Award winning 'Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea', 'Uh Huh Her' more than lives up to Harvey's legacy.
		Never one to either rest on her laurels or settle into a rut, Polly Jean's latest record is almost entirely self-made - all 14 tracks were written, performed, produced and mixed by Harvey.
		Elsewhere, other tracks were born from experiments in writing and self-set challenges; the drunken, drawling 'Who The Fuck?' was born from a very specific moment in time and the Cave-esque 'Pocketknife' has its roots in Harvey's attempt to illustrate a woman's character with an insignificant object.

	P.J. Harvey -- uh huh, her -- shows hard-rock edge with ripping guitar chords, fiery vocals at Music Hall
		From her 80-minute set's opening chord to its crashing two-encore finale, the usually reserved British singer ripped on her guitar like a refugee from the MC5, danced furiously and sang with the passion of a euphoric maenad.
		Her powerful vocals veered easily from lush, extended moans into soaring arias and hoarse, bluesy shouts.
		Harvey's presence was as electrifying as her vocals.

	Slant Magazine - Music Review: PJ Harvey: Uh Huh Her
		Harvey is very scarily connected to her primordial self, and her corporeal, existential obsessions with sex and God have fueled some of the best—if not the best—albums of the last 15 years.
		That said, I prefer Polly Jean's 50ft Queenie (you know, that king of the world) to the Miss Independent strumming her joy with her fingers on Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea and, now, the comparatively less consistent Uh Huh Her.
		Ditto the lovely "Shame," which showcases her Chrissie Hynde vocal talents but feels like a deliberately pretty interpretation of something you'd find on To Bring You My Love; when she barely breathes "I'd jump for you into the fire," the proposition is neither happy nor sinister.

		Standing as one of the foremost ladies of indie rock, Harvey has built a solid and steady career with her solemn and crooning melancholy style.

		Ever changing and evolving, but staying central to her style, Harvey has adapted, grown, and flourished like a snake shedding her skin.

	village voice > music > PJ Harvey, Uh Huh Her by Nick Catucci
		Uh Huh Her is as discrete—and ravishing—as her other works: the flower-from-a-sidewalk-crack Dry (1992); alt-shrapnel, stuck-on-rutting Rid of Me ('93); sultry, mythmaking To Bring You My Love ('95); club-cribbing Is This Desire?
		The new disc is also recognizable: It's a breakup album, as all save her last have been.
		"Wet the envelope/lick and lick it." She's got a lick of her own, a whip of liquid coal from the bowels of her instrument, sensuous sharp curves and stop-start motion, growling and shrill, grimy like a fuck six months in the making—seal it with hot wax and you're getting medieval.

	Adrian's Album Reviews : PJ Harvey
		It became her first top 40 hit single, and is simply magnificent.
		Her vocals are much improved, and this is definitely a good album.
		There is nothing simple about describing an utterly beautiful song that not only features Polly herself on the top of her game, but also features the vocals of a certain Thom Yorke of Radiohead fame, sounding as beautiful as he ever has on any Radiohead album, in case you're a fan of Radiohead.

	indielondon.co.uk - music - PJ Harvey, Uh Huh Her
		The latter, in particular, seems to suit her earthy, blues-influenced alt-rock down to a tee, but the edginess can be off-putting.
		Nothing on Uh Huh Her comes close to the mainstream accessibility of This Is Love and the album feels a little less likeable for it.
		And it's clear that Harvey has also been influenced by her time spent in the dessert with Josh Homme (of Queens of the Stone Age), on his Desert Sessions project last year, which was notable for its return to basics.

	PJ Harvey - Uh Huh Her \| Sound Generator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Dorset's finest releases her seventh album, perhaps her most difficult after the huge critical success of the Mercury Prize winner "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea".
		At times cold and dissonant, and at times alluring the album is deeply personal (she recorded all the instruments on her album except the drums) - in places the dirty grinding guitars and the familiar blues feel surfaces dealing with topics such as love, shamelessness and guilt.
		The primitive side of her captivating music at times harks back to the days of "50ft Queenie" but the overall development continues to benefit her loyal fanbase.

		Her third offering, 1995's elegant To Bring You My Love, gave way to the stormy Is This Desire?
		It's a nasty riposte to the success of its predecessor, built on grubby blues-punk riffs and the brooding, primal howl that Harvey uses when she wants to impersonate a she-wolf.
		Some of it seems disappointingly remedial ("The Letter," "Cat on the Wall"), but the best material ("The Desperate Kingdom of Love," "Who the Fuck?") just reconfirms that no matter how raw the British songwriter serves it up, the beauty of her work is undeniable.

	P J Harvey - Uh Huh Her (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		"The Letter" is built on a jarring guitar riff that complements her voice perfectly and the abrasive sound enhances the passages when a synthesizer or strumming acoustic guitar slips in, such as on the penultimate track "The Desperate Kingdom of Love".
		Although on the surface this is not an easy album to listen to, the album works as a whole, oscillating between waves of feedback blues and more tranquil, harmonious moments, so that it never becomes over-bearing.
		This is not an album that will appeal to those of discovered the charismatic P J Harvey on her last album or through her single "Good Fortune".

		with UH HUH HER, i think pj harvey has managed to successfully combine her pop influences and still perform at her raw, gutteral, emotional best.
		only, with UH HUH HER that quality (though not the tone) is consistent throughout.
		there are one or two missteps, but i think UH HUH HER is harvey's most consistently high quality album, both raw and melodic, emotional and well structured.
