good, but nowhere near her '90s work

It was okay. It's listenable. However, it's a far cry of what she used to do.

I wasn't going to say anything in particular, but as I feel I'm the only one around here to think it's her best with Dry, I'll defend this record, which is the best I've heard this year (but I haven't heard that many, as I'm no music fan at all and don't know why I'm on a music site in the first place).

I think PJ Harvey has got to a point where she can release more or less what she will, she'll sell. After a decade or so of fumbling about what she was going to do after Is This Desire?, she finally comes up with what could be very weel be the sum of her previous experiments. The delicacy of White Chalk (which in my opinion was a misfire, I never got into it - but it was a good misfire, inasmuch as it made her question what she was doing) with the anger, somewhat toned down and tamed, of her early works. Not one weak song, delicious production work. After one decade of not caring too much, I find myself really looking forward to the next step in her adventures.
