Vicki, don't sweat it... No flames from me; I couldn't have said it any better. _Lionheart_ was something of a disapointment for me; it was my 4th KaTe album, and it was the first one that I didn't want to play over and over again. It's still my least favorite album (despite some songs I love) TSW was much the same when I got it...right when it was released in the States. I took it home, extraordinarily excited, popped it in the CD player...and my face fell. "Oh. This is what Kate's doing now. I see." But, a few of the tracks hit me right off...Deeper Understanding and TWW in particular. Because of those songs, I realized there was something I was missing, so I kept listening to the album. Finally, it started to hit me--The Fog, Rocket's Tail, and Never Be Mine began to display all of the Kate Bush-ness that I had missed. TSW is a complex album that deserves a lot of openminded listening. It's well worth the effort. |Jeffrey C.

Jeffrey C. Burka says about TSW: > TSW is a complex album that deserves a lot of openminded listening. It's > well worth the effort. I have to agree with you fully. Although TSW hit me immediately (esp. "The Fog" and "Never Be Mine"), it still took a long time for all of it to sink in. In fact, "Between a Man and a Woman" has still to hit me fully. I know it will eventually though. I just wish it the sound quality was a little better. woj
