I just can't stand over-praising. I'm sure it's good. But I don't want the music-critic-establishment to tell me so over and over again.
PJ Harvey's least beautiful record by some distance, The Hope Six Demolition Project's intentions are admirable and inarguable. But weighed against the expectations raised by the overwhelming invention of her stout back catalogue, it falls uncomfortably short.
HA! Made you read it. Some of it at least. It is indeed a dippy review. But maybe a little refreshing too.
By the way, I've heard not a whisper of a US show. Mostly European Festival shows through August, so even if she crosses the pond, it might be awhile.
