Let England Shake on 2011's year-end lists

Post by **sau** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 2:30 pm

Tim de Lisle in today's Mail on Sunday Review:

'Artistically, Adele was matched by another British female. Eight albums into a hefty career, PJ Harvey has made her masterpiece with Let England Shake, a worthy winner of this year's Mercury Music Prize. It has all the ramshackle charm of the new folk scene and much more originality, as Harvey invents her own genre: sophisticated protest skiffle.'

The Words That Maketh Murder is #58 on Pitchfork's top 100 tracks. They sure like Beyoncé over there. They'll post the top 50 albums by the end of the week.
