NME's Top 50 Albums Of The Year

                        In the NME Christmas double edition, PJ Harvey's latest album is voted 3rd best album of 2000.
                        "Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea",  finished behind Primal Sream's "Exterminator"
                        and "Rated R" , by Queens of the Stone Age but was given a very positive review.

                        " Excitable critcs tend to cry wolf with every Peej album, proclaiming each flawed beauty a
                          mighty comeback. But this truly is Polly's most confident and sensual feast for almost a
                          decade. Shot through with urban glamour and rural splendour, "Stories..." was partly
                          written in New York and embraces voluptuous classic rock like never before. The spirit
                          of Patti Smith is never too far from this magnificent life-affirming opus."
