Rather than an official PJ Harvey album, this is a raw, nerve-shredding side project by Harvey and her chief collaborator. The singer lets it rip in primal scream fashion on the third track ("City of No Sun"), which will immediately deter all but the most dedicated of fans from fully exploring the pair's intriguing art punk visions. "Civil War Correspondent" is one relatively accessible point of entry. --Jeff Bateman

5 out of 5 stars Very interesting album - 4.5.......2005-06-27

THis is probly PJ harvey's hardest album to like, because it is very raw and different from anything you have heard, even PJ's other albums. It it kind of a mix of the harder rock from her first two albums and the mellower songs from To BRing You My Love. However, if you listen to it enough with an open mind, it is one of PJ harvey's greatest accomplishments. I give it 4 starts for a PJ Harvey album, and 5 overall.

4 out of 5 stars she's like a god. a good luck charm. or a vice........2004-02-04

Interesting record. Lots of great stuff here, if not totally satisfying. The music written by long time foil/collaborator/benefactor John Parish. The lyrics written by PJ. PJ has said she loved this record because it challenged her writing skills and she felt she grew quite a bit from the experience, as she was working differently than she had in the past.

There are a few PJ Harvey records I would recommend before getting this one. While there are those who think it is among her best work and love it the most, I think the "typical" fan prefers some of her other titles more. Plus, given the fact that much of the music was beyond her influence, listening to this album first fails to give you a sense of her own musical perspective.

Next to '4-Track Demos', I think this album is her most challenging work and is probably best to explore a little later on. That being said, highlights for me include 'Heela', 'Civil War Correspondent', 'Taut' (though I much prefer live versions from '98 era), 'That Was My Veil'.. well, there are a few more good ones here too. So, I guess I like this album even more than I thought. Lol!

4 out of 5 stars It was Spring or Summer '65..........2003-05-02

Of all of Polly Jean Harvey's albums this one seems to receive the most negative reviews. OK, so it's not an "official" PJ Harvey album. And no, it's not another "To Bring You My Love." But it is another great CD. In fact it actually features one of Polly's best songs, "Taut" and John Parish is quite an accomplished musician and composer. In terms of lyrical content and moody blues this album has a lot in common with "To Bring You My Love." Yes, a few of the songs are structurally weak, but most of them are still better than the majority of "Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea." This is one hell of an album with a ferocious rock out vibe. Isn't experimentation a good thing? Why not judge for yourself?

5 out of 5 stars Polly Jean and John alone.......2002-01-09

Words and music, the basic building blocks of song. That's all you'll find on this departure from rock vocalist Polly Jean Harvey. Together with guitarist John Parish, they create stark beauty in its simplest form.

A lovely disc for fans of PJ, or for anyone who likes singer-songwriter type music.

5 out of 5 stars a gem of a find for PJ fans.......2001-12-13

"Dance Hall at Louse Point" is an overlooked gem. I am a big PJ fan, and after hearing this cd, I've become an admirer of John Parish as well.

Granted, it's not for everyone, but PJ's solo music isn't for everyone either, is it? Therefore, anyone who appreciates PJ will surely appreciate this collaboration. Parish's music has a raw, bluesy sound that mixes with PJ's soulful singing perfectly. There are some extraordinary, haunting tracks that I love, like "Rope Bridge Crossing" and "Civil War Correspondent". "That Was My Veil" is an exceptionally beautiful song and is a little easier to swallow than the rest.

As I listen to this, I imagine sitting in on a private session between Parish and PJ. They're free to play whatever they want, whichever way they want, and that music, unrefined and unrestrained, is what you get in "Dance Hall at Louse Point." The result is stunning.

2 out of 5 stars Poorly produced........2000-06-27

With the exception of the last track (Dry), I'm dissappointed with this. It sounds as though it was thrown together in a couple of days. Tracks 5 and 6 even have their titles switched. Even if you are a hardcore PJ Harvey fan, I recommend giving this one a miss.

2 out of 5 stars Just get a real P J album.......2000-01-30

This album isn't really interesting enough to bother with. Most of the songs sound just about the same as the originals except they're not by Polly Jean. Do yourself a favour and buy a real P J album instead. If you've got them all and still want more (I do) go for her collaborations. Little Fish isn't worth a go.
