 Guardian PJ Harvey, Uh Huh Her
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.
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.
Her sixth album, Uh Huh Her, contains Who the Fuck?, ostensibly inspired by a disastrous visit to the hairdressers.

 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.

 Soul Shine Magazine : PJ Harvey : Uh Huh Her
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.
'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 chain…shame is the shadow of love").
In fact, 'Uh Huh Her' seems much more like a return to the sound of Harvey's debut 'Dry'.

 Plan 9 Music: Album: Pj Harvey - Uh Huh Her
UH HUH HER is a thinking-listeners disc that requires attention to detail and substance to be fully embraced.
This leads us to her latest disc UH HUH HER, a decidedly remarkable return to a no-holds-barred direction with oddball melodies, compelling filler tracks and barbed vocals hidden by conniving and enticing keyboards.
Remaining in her own universe is PJ Harvey’s secret to success, with each new album further cementing her status as one of today’s most intriguing and unencumbered artists.

 Sirens Rising - Articles - 'Uh Huh Her' Reviews
But if you take it as a whole, Uh Huh Her is deeply engrossing: Harvey has never explored the minimal-verging-on-primitive side of her music so thoroughly, or captured so exactly the sound of a mood swing.
This does not mean, however, that Uh Huh Her is a sloppy record, let alone a poor one.
Now, four years later, Uh Huh Her-- with its guttural title, punk-ugly cover and its advertised guitar-focus-- is billed as a "return to form." But even if guitars dominate Uh Huh Her, the album ignores all expectations.

 PJ Harvey MP3 Downloads - PJ Harvey Music Downloads - PJ Harvey Music Videos
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.
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.
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.

 PJ Harvey: Uh Huh Her - PopMatters Music Review
The majority of Uh Huh Her is subdued and unembellished, like demo recordings that were left as-is for inclusion in the final sequencing stage.
The warm smolder of Uh Huh Her is ignited by the inclusion of an occasional fit of temper and sensuality.
Secondly, Uh Huh Her possesses a style that is reminiscent of Harvey's earlier records (Dry, Rid of Me, and 4-Track Demos).

 Music Uh huh her
But the number’s chorus tag, "Don’t marry uh huh her," puts a subtly different spin on the disc’s other songs by raising the specter of jealousy.
The album’s 13 songs hinge entirely on her strength as a writer and performer — her ability to convince us that she means it, man. Uh Huh Her is a skidding first-person ride through the fallout and recovery from a shattered romance.
And moments after Polly Jean took the Knitting Factory stage, she and her band started running through those mud fields with "Uh Huh Her." That tune is not on the album, which at 41 minutes could easily hold it.

 Observer PJ Harvey, Uh Huh Her
So the writing was pretty much on the wall for its successor, Uh Huh Her, her sixth full solo album.
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.
Her voice can now accommodate girlish suspicion, she-wolf snarls and warm wisdom all in the space of 13 songs.

 Hour.ca - Music - Spin - Uh Huh Her - PJ Harvey
Uh Huh Her, the title for P.J Harvey's latest album, explains the excitement of the music on her new album.
Its too bad, because her previous album was phenomenal, with a mixture of optimism and melancholy that was considered new territory for PJ Harvey, who to that point had been seen as an expert of "angst" & "anger".
There's her trademark exploding guitar bluesiness side by side with the slinky subtleties that always seemed to whisper "fuck you," but here she seems to be talking, and playing, to herself.

 IGN: Uh Huh Her Review
With her latest, Uh Huh Her, PJ Harvey promised the rough, ragged return: a pared-down, punkish affair, a return-to-roots.
For those who simply need PJ Harvey to offer more of her bleakly honest, sexually charged, always-feminist take on love, Uh Huh Her is very easy to like.
Her jagged edges always lead to flowing melodies, and her catchiest musical lines have nasty claws.

 Blogcritics.org: PJ Harvey - Uh Huh Her
Uh Huh Her is a great addition to her previous albums, and also a solid introduction to those who haven't heard P.J. Harvey before.
Uh Huh Her at first listen, might seem like a complete return to her 1992 debut, "Dry", but after several listens, definite themes and patterns emerge on this self-produced album.
Uh Huh Her reminds me of Patti Smith's recent album "Trampin'", both artists got it right the first time with their debut albums ("Horses" for Patti Smith, arguably the best debut album in rock).

 PJ Harvey - Uh Huh Her - Stylus Magazine
Uh Huh Her is ultimately a classic case of a whole equaling less than the sum its parts.
Such will likely turn out to be the case for me with Uh Huh Her, her first album in four years and eighth overall.
I’ve argued for years now that her body of work up to this point has been more flawless than that of any other artist I’m familiar with in (semi-)popular music, and, somewhat less hyperbolically, that she’s the most consummately ambitious record-maker of the nineties.

 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.
'Uh Huh Her' is an album ripe for exploration.
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.

Added to that, Uh Huh Her is lacking in the kind of new approach that has so benefited her previous work.
Having said that, though, Uh Huh Her does not seem to be as instantly special as Polly at her best can be.

 PJ Harvey . Uh Huh Her [prefixmag review]
Compared to her much earlier work, 1992's Dry and 1993's Rid of Me, Uh Huh Her is clearly a more-settled PJ Harvey.
The deceptively simple album name, Uh Huh Her, nipped from a line by her friend Captain Beefheart, may be more appropriate for a Cool Whip Lite ad campaign, but the rough-and-tumble Polly Jean Harvey has returned.
The U.K. edition of Uh Huh Her contains a music video with PJ careening across an apartment and loving on the kitchen.

 PJ Harvey: Uh Huh Her [2004] Shaking Through.net: Music: Review
Uh Huh Her, her follow-up, is the dark-winged shrike to Stories' glorious bird of paradise: it inverts its predecessor's bright, clean production for a raw, stark sound, just as Harvey pulls back Stories' effusive vocal delivery, twisting that album's often exuberant emotional arc to more familiar territory: inward, reflective and occasionally brooding.
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.
That inner-directed bent is aptly reflected in Uh Huh Her's dynamics: Although Harvey enlists Evelyn Isaac for backing vocals and brings back Stories' mixer, the oddly monikered Head, this is clearly a one-woman production.

 Uh Huh Her Music at Shop Ireland
Most tracks sound uneasy at first, but give "Uh Huh Her" a few listens, and you'll find there's no other music you want to play.
As a fan of PJ Harvey's older work, in particular 'Is this Desire?', and a lover of her darker, more sinister tone; I have to confess i was a little unsatisfied with her last album, 'Stories from the city....' which i found in parts a little too like pop and rather lacking in substance.
And luckily…the rest of the album is just as powerful as her performance of those three songs on that occasion- crammed with more of the same raw energy and conviction.

Yes, Uh Huh Her still has the PJ Harvey personification of a strong female voice that is unique and stands on its own but it is still a disappointing and weak comeback for an artist that has broken many barriers and doesn't need anybody's help to strengthen her name.
PJ Harvey is getting a second opportunity to impress me with her latest release Uh Huh Her, which I should mention that I almost threw out of the window as I listened to it for the first time while driving home.
Long awaited, PJ comes back after her successful release of Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, which happens to be on my top 10 overall best albums of my vida loca.

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.
Harvey's presence was as electrifying as her vocals.

Though it may seem like a sonic retreat, UH HUH HER reaffirms Harvey's status as one of rock's most unpredictable artists.
A clear departure from STORIES FROM THE CITY, STORIES FROM THE SEA, 2004's UH HUH HER finds Polly Jean Harvey forgoing the poppier touches of the relatively refined former album in favor of a stripped-down, no-frills record.

The result is a lovely, textured mix of hard and soft, trademark PJ angst layered with her equally characteristic touches of tenderness.
It’s no secret that Harvey (herself deeply protective about her private life) has endured life’s darker moments, and while she’s shied away from revealing all to prying hacks, her sometimes achingly personal songwriting has provided much of an inlet into her inner workings.
It’s been a long four years since Polly Jean Harvey, aka PJ Harvey, released her last album, ‘Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea’, but the response by critics and die-hard fans of the British post-punk/alternative rock goddess has been unanymously positive.
