(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album (Trickys second "real" album If not counting Nearly God) Is a dark and sensual nightmare. I mean nightmare in the sense of the claustraphobia and menace. PMT is humid and muggy like a night trying to get to sleep in summer. It is also Trickys most challenging listen so far, from the menace of the raga-isims of "Vent" ("Cant hardly breathe" Moan Tricky and Martine) Most of the album features grooving guitar lines and murky beats which shimmy into the brain and hypnotise the listener.Lyrically PMT focuses on the usual Tricky-esque suffering and paranoia. Some Of PMT is said to be inspired by Trickys recent break-up from Icelandic pop star Bjork Gudmansdottir, As evident in "makes me wanna die"

This is Trickys most intricate album yet, and a good refuge from the terrible albums he is yet to release more of"
