+1

I've been a fan since '92, and initially this was the first record of theirs that I out-and-out hated. Then a switch flipped and now I think it's incredible. Reckon I was totally unprepared for such a sharp, freaky left turn.

The same thing happens to me when a new David Lynch movie comes out. The record kinda feels like a Lynch movie, too: pitch black, right brain, claustrophobic and invigorating.

+1 from me as well and I had the same reaction. I didn't hate it really (although I'm close to hating "At War With the Mystics") but it's a grower for sure. I felt the same way with "Clouds Taste Metallic".

PJ Harvey & John Parish: A woman a man walked by

great songs & very nicely produced, sounds great! and as with most great records: I didn?t like it at first, now I love it.

Definitely second Geneva. One of the best albums I've ever heard.
