12 track compilation with nine cuts from the famous Canadian heavy metal act's 25 year career and three tunes recorded for this release by the original line-up of Brent Doerner, Brian Vollmer, Greg Hinz and Daryl Gray (the first time they've recorded together since 1986!). The feature ballad of the album, 'Wanting You', was written by David Werner ('Cradle Of Love') and was originally intended for John Waite. The booklet has a photo discography of all of their albums, plus previously unseen photos of the group. 1999 release.
How can someone so unpredictable behave so predictably? Every time PJ Harvey releases something sophisticated and clean like 2000's Mercury Music Prize tipped Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea, it just about guarantees a contradictory follow-up album is around the bend. Her ambitious 1992 debut, Dry, inspired the bitter death rattle of Rid of Me. Her third offering, 1995's elegant To Bring You My Love, gave way to the stormy Is This Desire?. Harvey's sixth solo album, Uh Huh Her, doesn't disappoint. It's a nasty riposte to the success of its predecessor, built on grubby blues-punk riffs and the brooding, primal howl that Harvey uses when she wants to impersonate a she-wolf. Some of it seems disappointingly remedial ("The Letter," "Cat on the Wall"), but the best material ("The Desperate Kingdom of Love," "Who the Fuck?") just reconfirms that no matter how raw the British songwriter serves it up, the beauty of her work is undeniable. --Aidin Vaziri
