It's definitely worth getting. PJ Harvey is one of my favorites. Her last 2 albums are breathtaking...

The whole cd is amazing. It's turned into my favorite by her. It's very abrasive, heavy and bluesy. In her quiet, reserved way, she makes Courtney Love sound like a pussy. Not for the faint of heart. It'll kick your ass.

Here's a short review from allmusicguide, which sums it up pretty well.

Dry was shockingly frank in its subject and sound, as Polly Harvey delivered post-feminist manifestos with a punkish force. PJ Harvey's second album, Rid of Me, finds the trio, and Harvey in particular, pushing themselves to extremes. This is partially due to producer Steve Albini, who gives the album a bloodless, abrasive edge with his exacting production; each dynamic is pushed to the limit, leaving absolutely no subtleties in the music. Harvey's songs, in decided contrast to Albini's approach, are filled with gray areas and uncertainties, and are considerably more personal than those on Dry. Furthermore, they are lyrically and melodically superior to the songs on the debut, but their merits are obscured by Albini's black-and-white production, which is polarizing. It may be the aural embodiment of the tortured lyrics, and therefore a supremely effective piece of performance art, but it also makes Rid of Me a difficult record to meet halfway. But anyone willing to accept its sonic extremities will find Rid of Me to be a record of unusual power and purpose, one with few peers in its unsettling emotional honesty.

Paisley - her album "Rid Of Me" is VERY heavy grunge - but amazingly, uhh, AMAZING at the same time. I didn't really care for her stuff once she went electro (starting with that big fish little fish crap) but Rid Of Me is FLAWLESS.

Check out Rub it Until It Bleeds (WHAp-OW!!)

One of my all-time favorite albums. In fact, I'm gonna listen to it right now! I don't think I've pulled it out in years. Raw, passionate, frank. I love PJ Harvey.

I loved her before this electro phase and I loved her EVEN MORE when she went this route. It takes a lot for an artist to grow like that. I love all her music!!
