Album: Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
Year: 2000
It should surprise noone who knows me that my favorite PJ Harvey album is the one that she tried hardest to make a big, bold, beautiful pop album.
Because she’s so talented, it nearly succeeded on exactly those terms, but because she’s so off-kilter, it sure as shit wasn’t really a pop album by any reckoning of “pop” that existed in the 21st century. So Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea didn’t even sell as well as To Bring You My Love, despite not nearly being as weird.
