Recorded to play up the stark dynamic contrasts of Harvey's early trio, it's as harsh and abrasive as the gutter blues whose vocal style Harvey cops. And she demands a place for herself at the table of great songwriters--a hellfire take on Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited" fits neatly alongside her own work. --Douglas Wolk

Raw Crazy Energy ~ Unique and Brilliant
I’d had a copy of this album before which I’d lost, and it was excellent to hear it again after several years.This is Polly Jean at her rawest and grungiest, and I’ve never heard anything else like it. The pure range of emotion, from defiant aggression, to vulnerable, broken sadness, in Polly’s incredibly versatile vocals, accompanied by her dynamic chugging guitar riffs, make this album an unforgettably powerful experience. In a world where female musicians are so pressured to make “pretty” and unchallenging music, this album is a rare and authentic expression of raw female anger.

How Rid of Me was meant to be heard
An essential buy if you love this album, the mix and mastering is far superior here to any other format, and Steve Albini's genius as a producer is more evident than ever before. The second in PJ's unparalleled run of 5 masterpiece albums.

One of the best albums of our generation!
PJ is soooo awesome i cannot wait for her 2011 solo comeback, so hope she returns to the genre of her earlier albums with lines such as "I'll make you lick my injuries", she is just an inexpressibly good artist!Please buy this album and listen to some good music for once!
