| REinventing her sound
PJ Harvey's new record, is simply another hit, the reason is quiet simple: it doesn't sound like her previous records. this one is quiet, intime. the "hu hu her" record reminds the classic rock-Harvey style sound, "stories from..." it's like clean-elegant-rock sound...but "White chalk" is very deep, dark, altough with touches of happyness..in a very PJ's special way.. "white chalk" is a serious candidate for best album of the year. PJ Harvey in her best moment. greetings from Chile DJ Cheester

| A lot of people is going to hate this record
At the start I hated this record, now I can’t stop of hearing it. Beautiful and horrible at the same time, the perfect soundtrack for your nightmares. It's harder to listen than "Uh huh her" and "Is this desire?". However, I feel it coherent than "Uh huh her". Nevertheless, I do not expect it to be a hit or that people talk about it: it’s not commercial. Just for huge-huge fans or lovers of difficult music. It seems that the joy of "Stories from the city..." has ended at all and she’s trying to go so far in her bitterness. PJ: why are you so sad?

| worst cover ever, but CD is decent
Polly Jean - never been a fan whatsoever. This new album has a lot of people excited (I'm still not sure why), so it mustn't be that bad. If you don't like PJ, don't bother.

| Drown in this
PJ Harvey has put out a lot of different albums. This one seems almost poppy but it's so melancholy that it cannot possibly be as poppy as 'Stories of the Sea' or 'Is this Desire?' Just the same, if you like PJ then you'll not be disappointed. If you're new, then perhaps 'Is this desire?' is a better place to start. The thing is - PJ Harvey is brilliant and you just have to get on her wavelength and let it all wash over you. 'White Chalk' is beautiful and listening to her sing 'nobody's listening' makes the crime clear. My only complaint is that at 31 minutes it's short. But's bleeding intense though not in some comic book Gothic sense and there's no filler. This CD isn't dissonant at all and the falsetto may be off-putting to some but PJ Harvey has put out something worth your while.

| Yet Another Re-Invention for Polly Jean
We've seen PJ go from grundge, alternative, rural-country, trip-hop, and now we see her possessed by the lost and sad souls of early folk people. If there were every to be a horror movie version of "House on the Prairie", then this would surely be the soundtrack. From the very beginning to the end, Harvey takes ahold of the listener and whispers a half-hour dirge. If you're new to PJ Harvey, I would suggest you do not buy this CD. This is surely a trip for even the most diehard fans. All in all, this is yet another album that exhibits Polly Jean's creativity and personality.
