Is This Desire?
Editorial Reviews
<"b00000ag2b7580"> Amazon.com essential recording
Each of Harvey's previous albums has been a distinct affair as she took steps forward in not only forging her sound but also exploring the wealthy veins of rock & roll. So on first listen, Is This Desire? almost disappoints; it's very close to the same dark, woozy, and bluesy musical territory she staked out on To Bring You My Love. But it's been said that though good stories can be read once, great stories must be read twice, and, like great literature, this album deserves repeated listenings to appreciate its beautiful complexities and subtle shadings. A recommendation: Spend a few nonstop hours with Is This Desire? It will change you. --Tod Nelson --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Is This Desire? Is Harvey's fifth album. Incredibly, she's pulled off a double magic act: Her third-person tales are so enticing you won't miss her, and--this should be impossible--she's become more refined while retaining raw power. There are more contempo club textures here than the blues riffs she was firing off when we met her, and her voice is still building on the operatic moves of 1995's To Bring You My Love. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
