Apr 8, 2016It all builds masterfully to a powerful, closing one-two punch.
-
MagnetApr 15, 2016The Hope Six Demolition Project is yet another remarkable PJ Harvey effort. [No. 130, p.54]
-
Apr 15, 2016Harvey set out to bring listeners and the underprivileged subjects of her record together, and the exciting thing is that that final moment should surely do that.

UncutMar 25, 2016Even when the mood turns slow and swampy on "Chain Of Keys" and "River Anacostia," the intensity never wavers. [May 2016, p.74]

Aug 1, 2016It'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.

Apr 6, 2016PJ Harvey's least beautiful record by some distance, The Hope Street Demolition Project's intentions are admirable and inarguable. But weighed against the expectations raised by the overwhelming invention of her stout back catalogue, it falls uncomfortably short.
