Don't You Wish You, Never Met Her

Advantages: Raw, Talented, Good song-writing, Music...hell it's PJ Harvey!
Disadvantages: May be uncomfortable and uneasy for some people.

...Polly Jean Harvey released Rid Of Me in late 1993 and it got hit by several critics calling this Polly's most raw, unsettling and difficult album anyone could listen to, which led to Polly's reputation as a man-hating, miserable bitch from hell, which to this day, some people still refer to her by, which annoys her greatly. But take a closer look at her songs and you may see a sense of humor. So, let me all introduce you to a singer who you all have ...
...every single song is). RID OF ME Starts off *very* quiet, with a steady hammering guitar strum (everytime I play this in the car, my passenger thinks the car is making the noise!).

Lick my legs, I'm on fire

Advantages: Music with attitude
Disadvantages: Can feel like an onslaught at times

"Rid of me" was PJ Harvey's second album, and like the first, it's a pretty demanding listen. I hardly ever play "Rid Of Me" all the way through, usually picking out a few songs. It's not that I don't like any of them, it's just that the entire album can be too much of an onslaught, emotionally as well as in terms of the noise. Occasionally I feel strong enough to listen to it all, but I feel drained afterwards. Like the first album "Dry", it starts ...
...to hear the start of the song. But if you do, after about 2 and a half minutes, you're going to be deafened by the line "Don't you wish you…" If you're wearing headphones, you'll definitely wish you weren't. The final lyrics, "Lick my legs, I'm on fire", are, I think, strangely erotic, but they are scary as well - sounding like the soundtrack to a seriously deep horror story. I think there are some people (I'm talking about women) who like, or ...
