the second one I know is Chastity Belt's 5th LP which has been recorded but not sure has been mastered, so no idea if it will be released this year for not

Sweet! I didn't know about it.

that to me is like Disc 1 of a two album best of collection, yet he never released it, in this form

But are those the same versions from Rust Never Sleeps, American Stars 'N Bars, etc? :confused:

According to Wikipedia, about half of the recordings planned for this album were released on later records - the other half are rerecordings, which these will be the original versions of.

Anyway, on the thread, the new bdrmm album is really nice atmospheric rock.

I don't mind the new PJ Harvey. Feels like White Chalk II

AOTY.

Oh shit, the one tune you can listen for now ("Belleville") is fuckin' GORGEOUS. Maybe this is the AOTY, what do I know.

PJ Harvey album just came out a few days ago! It's really nice and mellow <3

It's a shame how bad PJ's music has gotten since Uh Huh Her. After reading the above praise I'm skipping through this new un. As per, there's no bass guitar and minimal electric. Continuing with the folk music sounding like a boring auld fart. Since the aforementioned album she's like a completely different artist.

A shame shame shame indeed ;) See what I did there?...I'll see myself out, out of the top fucking window of this high-rise after listening to that!

PJ Harvey is one of my all-time favorite artists, but I cannot agree more. When a new release is met with "I don't mind the new PJ Harvey" something's clearly wrong. Yeah, she's an artist and can take her art in any direction she chooses. But as a consumer, I find her post-'Uh Huh Her' work to be boring, monotonous, and tedious - with no entertainment value whatsoever. That includes the universally lauded 'Let England Shake'. When I reach for PJ Harvey, I reach for something released between 1992 and 2004 (although I do like 'A Woman A Man Walked By' [2009]. Sad, but true.

^ You're both bonkers as fuck.

I'm going back to reading Orlam now.

I've appreciated all PJ Harvey's music post-White Chalk. She does seem determined to continue exploring her 'wistful Victorian woman' character, rather than evolving drastically from one album to another, and I probably would enjoy a change of theme, however I respect her as an artist and know that she'll always have something interesting to say.

These later albums do feel less vital, though there's a kind of 'back to nature' conservatism to her later work that's interesting and uncommon.

Hahahahahahaha...good one! :D
