Did someone mention Kate Bush?

I know it was a thread here somewhere, and the "search" function isn't finding it...

Has anyone bought the new KB double CD?

I have. I have one word for it: dud.

Anyone else?

Interesting--

I don't think it's her best release, (for me, that would be "Hounds of Love,") but, it is far from a dud.

Listening to it right now. I think it could have been more concisely edited, I don't think there's enough material to justify a two disc set, but that's my only quibble.

I got it this Wednesday, and it's all I've been listening to since.

I gave it 4 stars at Amazon, and wish Amazon allowed for half stars.... Some of the reviews at Amazon are utterly off the wall. Some think "Mrs. Bartolozzi," the "Washing Machine" song are about a woman coming to terms with her husband's death, others think it's about the woman choosing suicide.

I think some people are dismayed with "Aerial" because of the 12 year wait between releases.

The art is amazing, though. Love her brother John Carder Bush's photography, and the painting in the booklet is also very, very nice.

Mixed Feelings

Haven't gotten it yet. I've been debating whether to or not. I love her classic music. But I've read mixed reviews on various boards. And some of the lyrics & song titles sound so silly that I'm wondering if it's worth the money.

It isn't. Such a flop from a great lady. Listen to Hounds of Love instead...

Uh, I beg to differ

There are possibilities-- grab it from a library, or if you have broadband, get a short term download, and listen to it.
