She's done one of the best covers of Rid Of Me.... And never fails to pay tribute to PJ!

Some LES love:

Don Van Vliet loved it

Shirley Manson gushed about "Written on the forehead" ages ago

"The Words That Maketh Murder" made Patti Smith "happy to be alive"

Patrick Wolf danced to TWTMM at the NME awards while she performed

Jarvis Cocker played "Let England Shake" on his BBC show

James Dean Bradfield mentioned he had bought the new album

Holly Miranda: "really loving this new pj harvey album. i’ve never really listened to her before. i don’t know why. i guess i missed that boat, stupidly."

I'd like to listen to it

Portishead's Geoff Barrow on Twitter (about LES):

"Yes Polly Harvey !!! Proper record!!! Thank you."

he seems to hate pretty much everything and everybody in the charts nowadays so must be a real compliment coming from him But I guess he's always been a fan of PJ.

The glorious Neko Case tweeted this earlier this evening:

Lovin the new PJ Harvey. She sounds like she's home. Everywhere. Very inspiring.

Cold War Kids (matt maust): "I can't wait to watch PJ Harvey and Kanye West . . . Arcade Fire, definitely; the National; and Sleigh Bells. I love PJ Harvey's new record, so I'm most excited about that." (on who he's looking forward to seeing at Coachella)

Billy Bragg: "Let England Shake" is brilliant(how right he is!)

Also, Henry Rollins has been playing tracks from the album quite regularly on his KCRW show. So far he has played the title track twice, written on the forehead and bitter branches.

Well done, Polly_Jean_Cave. I wish I could quote him word for word but he definitely called the album brilliant.

And here's Billy on Henry Rollins' show!
