Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a mean average rating of 83.0/100. The trimmed mean (excluding outliers) is 84.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

I'm still not sure whether or not, overall, I like Kate Bush. I've spent quite a lot of time listening to The Dreaming, and I don't hear much there that I love. But Hounds of Love is another story. It's one of those consistently great, inspired, timeless albums that transcends both its genre and the time period in which it was made. Since I moved to Montana, I've been especially taken with "The Big Sky," which captures through synths and airy, breathy vocals the vertigo feeling of standing under the biggest, most expansive sky on Earth.
First side is damn near perfect, and the second side is great and incredibly ambitious. I am still having a hard time enjoying some of it thoroughly. I find myself listening to the first 5 or 6 songs to death than stopping there. But I have realized Kate Bush is one of those artists that deserve and require multiple listens to fully appreciate their work, and get over some the weirdness. I'm sure my opinion of her work and this album will only get higher as I get older.
i think this is between 20-25 best albums of the 80s
Awesome.
Favorites: Cloudbusting, Hello Earth.
Kate at her best, and one of the best records of the 80s.

One of the best albums ever! Great production. Beautiful haunting melodies. Great voice. Kate rules!
A prog-pop masterpiece, there's nothing else to say really. Side A is full of incredible hits ("Cloudbusting" being my personal favourite) whereas side B unfolds like being fully immersed in a great piece of literature, the cycle titled "The Ninth Wave". An incredibly ambitious project, produced impeccably and imaginatively written by Kate herself, that paid off commercially and critically. The pinnacle of the 80s.
