Poor it, I guess. The problem I had with all the UHH singles wasn't that they were terrible or something. They just didn't leave any lasting impression and went nowhere. I could enjoy them on a good day, though.
Speaking of unnecessarily noisy, tuneless messes, here's "Man-Size", the first song to be eliminated to receive an 11. Latinazza, babe... What you doing?
The worst part about "Man-Size" being a single isn't even the song itself. It's the fact that PJ, or her label, or whatever, chose it over some songs on the album that would have made perfect single choices. Like...?
The album's lyrics have been widely interpreted as being feminist in nature. Harvey, however, repeatedly denied a feminist agenda in her songwriting, stating "I don’t even think of myself as being female half the time. When I’m writing songs I never write with gender in mind. I write about people’s relationships to each other. I’m fascinated with things that might be considered repulsive or embarrassing. I like feeling unsettled, unsure."
