I think the new album is great too, but after revisiting Dry and Rid of Me, it definitely loses its luster a bit. I did not feel that way about Let England Shake. That album felt like grisly old PJ updating her mission statement for the 2010s. New one is very good, but very good can be disappointing when there's so much great to compare it to.
Haven't seen her perform the material live though. I've read good things about the Hope Six shows actually. Sorry it didn't really measure up for ya.
