No way! I could never decide on a favourite for this album because they're basically all on par, but if I had to choose a few that stand out amongst the opener, I'd go with Color In Your Cheeks, Fall of the Star High School Running Back, The Mess Inside, Jenny, and Blues In Dallas. But they're all excellent.
I seem to be bugged by everything Kate Bush does outside of this record, which is a swirling masterpiece. The synths used are used so effectively, especially in Running Up That Hill, where the little synth-licks (?) just sorta add to this really immersive rhythm section, with Kate's vocals on top which hit the notes with such strength and passion. Then it moves straight onto Hounds of Love, which was a childhood favourite of mine (well at least The Futureheads' version was). It all just feels so immersing, I adore the soundscapes in this album.
I should probably check out more Kate Bush, but attempting to listen to The Dreaming didn't really work, and I've never liked stuff like Wuthering Heights, Babooshka, Sat In Your Lap, etc. Recommend me the nearest Kate Bush album to Hounds of Love, please? _________________
