You can't really argue with PJ Harvey can you? I can pretend not to like her. I can refer to a comment by a friend who noted that her albums always come out suspiciously just ahead of festival season. But all said and done the music is pretty brilliant. The A side of this (and Island please note: can you write A or B side on the label of the record so I don't have to flip from side to side wondering which is which?), is a very brief piece of modern folk music which samples both The Police and a bugle call by HM Irish Guards. Her voice is really excellent here, full of life and energy. A great wandering melody and interesting lyrics, not unlike Kate Bush at her very, very best. Strangely on the flip her voice sounds a little strained, its not brilliant but its a B side - what on earth did you expect?
The Glorious Land is the second single to be taken from PJ Harvey's critically acclaimed Let England Shake. The album has been described by nearly all critics as Harvey's finest work in a decade, and commercially delivered her first top 10 album since 1993.
