^You mean appearance wise? I think she looks great for her age. Digital spy gave the single a five star rating, it's very brief.

Digital Spy


The music, at least initially, flirts with jauntiness - jangly guitars, rat-a-tat rhythms and even a few horns on the chorus. The lyrics, however, are as brutal and startling as an unexpected rejection from a long-term lover: "I've seen and done things I want to forget," Harvey sings on the opening line, "I've seen soldiers fall like lumps of meat."

This juxtaposition is bewitchingly effective from the start, but 'The Words That Maketh Murder' saves its weightiest punch for the final minute, when Harvey poses a presumably rhetorical question - "What if I take my problems to the United Nations?" - over a sinister slide guitar solo. The overall effect is so gripping, so chilling even, that it wouldn't be remiss to mention this song in the same breath as another great anti-war lament by a British female genius - namely, Kate Bush's 'Army Dreamers'.

I think a ban is in order.

[astroboy64]

Ah, very poetic. These words stand by themselves as poems, regardless of the tunes she's embedded them in.

Heaven forbid we should show our age.

"Pat" is beginning to show some shallowness...this is not a madonna or kylie forum..this is about a musician who actually has got something to say...while you go to the spa to get a facial, we enjoy a musical genius..thank you.

Now come on. Pat was just expressing his/her opinion. While I don't agree, I do think Pat is entitled to his/her opinion. I mean how is it any more valid to comment on her "youthful looks" and beauty? It's still a statement being made about her looks, and It's all subjective really.

[Big Machine Writing]

Yeah, you don't really have to take that comment as an insult/negative remark. It's true though. Regardless, she looks great for her age.

[rufus]

i think she looks beautiful and black suits her well.
lyrics for murder are amazing, thx 4 posting !

[ethereal]

Same age as my two favourite musicians, so enjoying growing older together. You're only as old or young as you want to be after all

[rufus]

i saw"the glorious land" on someone's last.fm

It's just not important. Furthermore you never read/hear those stupid remarks about men. I've never read something like "eeerrrr.....ummmm....Nick Cave / Bob Dylan / Bono or who the fuck else is quite beginning to show his age." It just makes no sense at all.
