Great to see that you're making so much progress with these reviews. Any chance that you could do a zoom review with one of the acclaimed music forum members who gave the album a high rating in the latest forum poll? Some of the forum members have demonstrated superb skills when describing why a particular album moves them. Unfortunately, I am not one of those skilled members.
I liked this a lot when I first heard. And then, literally the second time I heard it as they say in the classics, my estimation of it as an album plummeted. Well, not plummeted but I found myself thinking "It's too safe, it's not weird enough. Why isn't Katie weird anymore? I want weird Katie back!!". My estimation od it was somewhat righted after her next album, which is her real stinker.
Hmm I don't know what to say to that. So I have the red shoes and have played it a fair amount, and like it quite a bit, but this blew me away. Maybe I was less expectant of weirdness. Maybe after more listens I will ease off the love, Years ago I had an attempt at categorising my music collection (it never really worked, there were too many things that were hard to categorise), and I had the category "off the wall women", which is where Kate Bush was firmly put, along with Tori Amos, Sophie B Hawkins, Alanis Morisette and Natasha England - and if you know of that last one I will be impressed.
@@dansminialbumreviews No, Natahsa is an unknown quantity. I have never really tried to classify my collection. I sort of get it into some kind of order and then I just let it degenerate into randomness. It's torturous to actually try and find a specific album.
@@Foul_Quince Mine is easier now that I am operating pretty much entirely digitally. I ripped most of my vinyl and CDs years ago, and so they are ordered by act. Slowly, I am adding years so that they will be ordered chronologically within an act. I really wish that Microsoft would add some form of meta-information to files and folders, I would love to be able to click a button and have them reordered by year, title, and maybe other things, like you could if they were in a spreadsheet.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will think about this.
