Aside from the strange and unattractive album cover art, there aren’t many bad things to say about Rid Of Me. PJ Harvey’s second album, it was recorded very shortly after the debut album (Dry), and is the last album by the original PJ Harvey trio. The album utilizes the hushed to noise dynamics, sometimes pushing them to the limit, that were popular at the time (via Nirvana), and while it may sound like an almost simple punk album on the surface, the songwriting here is actually becoming much more complex than it was on the debut. The lyrics by Harvey are great, showing her quirkiness and sense of humor as well as being sometimes very serious and frightening. The band plays like there’s a fire somewhere nearby, tearing through the songs and showing considerable restraint when needed during the quieter passages.
Rid Of Me contains no big hits, but tracks like “50ft. Queenie” and “Man-Size” could have been, and are excellent. Her take on Bob Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited” positively rocks, and is refreshing. Things can get a little abrasive at times, but for the most part, you can’t go wrong with this. Rid Of Me is the first of three great albums by Harvey (along with To Bring You My Love and Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea), all of which are different and could have been by three different artists…a testament to the versatility and creativity of the artist. Her profile has never been really high, and outside of the three classic albums, her work tends to be ignored…but she still soldiers on, with an eleventh studio album due out in 2016. PJ Harvey is always interesting, always entertaining, and always worth hearing. [First added to this chart: 12/31/2015]
