Hounds of Love

Very vibey, but lowkey different from what I was expecting, more poppy I guess.

Feels like pop music but so delightfully weird.

Unique, interesting, great voice, some hits, some duds. 3.5/5. Raising to 4.

solid fun album

I will take any opportunity to listen to this album. My favourite tracks have to be the title track and Cloudbusting

I don't think I would have liked Running Up That Hill were it not for its repetition and dramatic use in Stranger Things, where I first heard it. By the finale, I got goosebumps every time it was featured in the show. Kate Bush was never in my wheelhouse at all. Having been primed by the show, I think I was finally ready to listen to this album.

This was unique, but not in the all-too-common "Look! I don't have to follow the rules and I can fart in a can" Frank Zappa kind of way. This was unique in a "hey, what if we made guitars louder with electricity?" kind of way. It's still a guitar, the skills required are the same, but it sounds different and has different capabilities.

I was somewhat trepidatious about listening to everything after the first track, but every last one of them earned their play and my attention. I think I'll add this to my collection and hang out with my new friend Hounds of Love soon

⭐⭐⭐⭐

No sé qué pensar del álbum. No había escuchado ningún álbum completo de Bush, solo conocía unas canciones, que por cierto mi favorita es Cloudbusting y resulta que viene en este disco. Sin embargo, no sé si el no estar tan familiarizado con la música hizo que el primer álbum completo que escuché fuera el mejor para empezar. Empieza muy bien pero poco a poco las canciones me perecieron demasiado.

I enjoyed it, especially Running Up That Hill, Cloudbusting, and Jig of Life.

Not bad, actually

Iconic art rock record that works in essentially every aspect. Hypnotic, beautiful, epic, pastoral alike. The gorgeous ballad "And Dream of Sheep" and march-tempoed "Cloudbusting" are my favorite two tracks.

I'll give her this, the pretentious vocal style perfectly matches the pretentious lyrics.

Most accessible Kate Bush album, sti sounds so fresh

Fantastic album. I love all the songs on the first half (especially Cloudbusting) and the second half is so imaginative and eclectic. The very 80s production adds to its charm for me.

I'm old enough to remember how original, quirky, and catchy this lady's songs were!

And time hasn't taken a bite out of them at all - they're absolute classics <3

ne znam kako da se prema ovomu postavim. s jedne strane ne mogu se zamislit da bih ikad ovo na svoju inicijativu slušao. s druge strane, izvrsno je i stalno se mijenjalo, taman kad bih mislio da će možda postati preslično i generično, nešto bi se promijenilo. isuviše me se dojmilo da bih dao manje od itekako zaslužene četvorke. izvolte

Some of these songs are my all-time favourites; the rest of it, not so much.

For Music League, one of Marnie’s round ideas is songs by artists you have a crush on.”

I think if we ever do it, I’ll have to submit a Kate Bush song.

Okay I definitely understand the hype now.

I can see why this is so well liked. Running up that Hill is one of the greatest 80's songs and Cloudbusting isn't far behind. I found the rest of the album to be of less quality than those songs, but it was enjoyable enough nonetheless. It's a very weird album at times, but I guess that is to be expected with a Kate Bush album.

Ahh yes, the Stranger Things album. More specifically, the album whose most popular single was played ad nauseum in the show's fourth season. As for the actual album, it is a very offbeat 80s pop record. Unlike most British pop of the period, this has actual character and is unique without being off-putting. Well, some songs are off-putting, primarily "Waking the Witch". Unlike her earlier record, "The Dreaming", this is still plenty accessible to the average listener and isn't overly theatrical. Though Bush's lyrics don't approach the level of a Cohen or Dylan album, they are perhaps some of the best lyrics of this era's popular music. The songs are hooky and well-arranged, and Bush's voice is excellent both technically and for the music she makes. This record, perhaps more than anything, is an excellent example of how to balance accessibility and character to create a hit album. A hit album that found a second wind 35 years after its release from a single being used in a massively popular television show.
