To Bring You My Love (studio album) by PJ Harvey

When this album first came out in 1995 I was all over it like a rash but pretty much dismissed it out of simple music snobbery preferring the “Old Stuff” over the “New Stuff”

I now know I was as Fonzie would say Wr Wr Wr Wong

This album is as good as anything Polly Jean has released ever

Her best album in my opinion. It is also her heaviest and darkest, and she never fully returned to this sound again with only a few exceptions. Probably the most electric and interesting female artist in the past 25 years if you ask me, but I understand she isn't for everyone, and a few of these songs, while they are all amazing, do go on just a wee bit too long.

Grande obra da artista que nos transporta para os anos 90's sufocante, paranóia tecnológica e na batida. Excelente!

Her best, very dark, very atmospheric, great voice

Atmosphere is fantastic- total 90s techie. The only issue? The songs are repetitive and consequently feel lengthy, and are not much more than mood music.

Very tribal music. Dark, hypnotic, always foreseeing the shade of doom on the horizon but never blatantly revealing the horror itself. I honestly can't name a single weak cut on the record (maybe "I Think I'm a Mother", but I don't want to put that one down), and the musicianship is uniformly good. Harvey's vocals in particular are at their best: I've never heard a woman sound this menacing in my life. Great work. A top 5 album of 1995.

Requires being in a very specific mood to properly enjoy, though. That's the only bad thing I can think about it.

P.J.Harvey sings the blues. To bring you my love, sees Harvey incorporating more American influences into her music. It's also a more slickly produced LP. It is also one of her best. In fact I wouldn't disagree with anyone claiming any of her albums with being her best(except for, uh huh her, and, is this desire?), and this is certainly one of them. This record also features some amazing individual songs. C'mon Billy, down by the water, and the title track are just three of many excellent cuts. TBYML, is an essential PJ Harvey album.

PJ Harvey's best album.

For me, this is the definitive early PJ Harvey record. It perfectly straddles the raw, dark energy of her earlier releases with the songcraft of her later releases. A wonderful record.

PJ Harvey has to be about the most under-appreciated rock artist out there, bar none. If you're sick of the formula played on pop or alternative radio or think that Lilith Fair's a great idea but doesn't embrace the harder feminine spirit, give PJ Harvey a try.
