    Let me first say I am a huge PJ Harvey fan and I have every album she has ever made. This album just doesn't cut it for me. What's up with all the droning background vocals? Just awful . Listen to the background vocals on most of these songs. They are weak.
    I wanna hear my Polly again but not with this group!

    Like its predecessor, Hope's lyrics alone spur startling awe and fierce innovation.

    It's non-formulaic and filled with a sense of hope and belief. PJ Harvey singing about these things and building to reclamation and salvation is totally worth the trip. For fanboys and those who aren't. We need more of this in the world today.

    Not all of Hope Six is mired in dissonance. Harvey frequently returns to the well of pop music, but the irony of wrapping a grim lyrical message in upbeat music is that those uncomfortable truths become that much harder to overlook.
