Rated 10/10
28-Oct-2022
One of my favourite albums of all time, I would give it 6 stars if I could. Glad to see that Kate is finally getting the recognition in the US she has always deserved, thanks to Stranger Things. Hoping to see a few more ladies in this list soon, it has been a bit of a sausage fest so far!
Rated 8/10
I was into this album after it was released, but before Stranger Things made it popular. Doubling down on hipsterism. Is hipsterism still a thing? Anyway, album is good.
Rated 8/10
Must be the first album I have had (and will probably be the only one) that has the current UK number one single on it!
Very good, if a bit samey, but she is a great singer and songwriter. Some of the sound effects are pretty odd, but not in a bad way. Cloudbusting is my favourite, with the two big singles close behind.
3 1/2 🌟 for me, but rounds up to 4
Rated 4/10
This is one of those albums that I thought I would maybe like (having not heard it before) because I've been told for years how amazing she is. I just didn't get it. I didn't want to turn it off, but I don't want to play it again, either.
Rated 8/10
Slightly too young to appreciate first time around ("Dad, why is that woman screeching on TOTP?") but absolutely deserves all the love and praise heaped on it over the years. The opening 3 tracks alone mean it fully deserves its spot on this list.
Rated 6/10
Arranca muy bien con "Running up that hill" y "Hounds of love", luego todo depende más de su voz y canciones más ligeras. Hay toques de folk que también me han gustado. Los 80 no fueron tan malos en perspectiva.
Rated 8/10
Some of this is incredible, some absolute nonsense. Good bless Kate
Rated 6/10
I can certainly appreciate this album as “art”, it picked a direction and really went with it. Maybe it’s an acquired taste, as I started listening I found it pretentious, grating, and almost unlistenable, but I warmed up to it by the time I reached the end. I thought there were some things that were really interesting production-wise and the lyrics are evocative and well-crafted.
Rated 8/10
Man, nothing sounds quite like this. Shame she never really caught on in the US and it always amazes me that something so experimental was able to be so popular in the UK/Europe. She definitely paved the way for other iconoclasts like Bjork, etc. Gotta respect the unbridled vision and the genreless expression. Love when artists build their own studios and go into their own little worlds.
