Listening to Before The Dawn now. Ironically I was called out for work before the dawn this morning, so downloaded the autorip from Amazon. Great sound quality, currently listening to "Top of the City" which is brilliant.

I looked it up, via google.

The 3cd is on Amazon, so I guess it could be submitted to the website?

Yep, it's officially released today in the UK.

I've added it.

Awesome, let the listening and reviewing start.
I wonder if it's on spotify, because I only stream music.

Not yet. All her other albums are so I assume it will be at some point.

The live album sounds brilliant and will hopefully be number one in the album chart on Friday, sadly it's all being overshadowed by a minor comment she made in an interview with a minor Canadian magazine in which she stated she's a bit of a fan of our female Prime Minister. A lot of hysterical over-reaction has ensued, including some idiots throwing away their KB record collection. Unhappy

I don't even know what is so bad about Theresa May. She is a conservative? So suddenly that's all that matters. You're either liberal/socialist or conservative? I'd like to be neutral and just listen to great music.
 
Mostly musicians are leftwing and care about humanrights, animalrights and environment, as fas as I know.
I think a lot of people are disappointed that La Bush is nog a lefty. Although you can be leftist and still have an admiration for a rightwing politician. Maybe because Theresa is a woman? There are not many women in power, these days, especially with the Trump-thing going on.
Maybe La Bush meant that. I don't know.

Yep, that's about it.

I think you're right, Kate's comment was more that she was glad to see a woman in a position of power, I don't think she has any great political leanings.

Before The Dawn
 
I know its been said plenty of times already but really should have been released with a DVD. Sorry Kate but this is just bad form even if you are generally amazing.

40 years since Wuthering Heights made number 1 in the UK and in 2014 she had 8 albums in the UK top 40. Kate Bush is pretty much in a category in her own.

Kate Bush is amazing, really have loved her "Before the Dawn".

I think Janis Ian and Laura Nyro haven´t been mentioned here, I believe Kate lovers will love them too! Here´s one Laura piece that is really Kate sounding:

So what's everyone's opinion of The Red Shoes (album)? I used to belong to a Kate Bush FB group (before it became too weird) and it used to get a lot of stick.
Is it really her worst album? I don't think so personally.

Well, I think Red Shoes is the weakest Bush-album, but that doesn´t mean it´s bad album. There are some really great songs like Moments Of Pleasure, the Song Of Solomon, tittle song and Top Of the city, but some of albums songs are the most mediocre in Bush albums. The Sensual World is also been a little weak album to me, but I think it´s better entity than Red Shoes. These are only Bush vinyls I don´t have, but I have Director´s Cut which I think is kind of best of these albums.

That seems to be a common opinion but I think that "honour" belongs to Lionheart, a typical rushed second album. I rarely play that album, only a couple of decent tracks on it.

I listened to "Wuthering Heights" yesterday, a few times, and woke up at 5 with the chorus in my head -- and I had a feeling that'd happen.

I think it was in her website and she says that a DVD is not one of her priorities.

I think that she is way too self conscious of how things look on a stage and she wants a kind of visual-ness, that a DVD would show is not as strong as the show itself was on a CD. 

I can not say that she is right, or wrong. It is her music and she has the right to do with it as she pleases, but I have a feeling that there were so many good things for a DVD, that her having to sit and break things apart to place them on a DVD, would be impossible ... 10 minutes fro each show for 20 days ... so to speak ... and there you have it ... and it would sound choppy and not clean. 

It's, probably for my tastes, one of the bad things about this digital age ... it makes us so aware of everything about the show ... and it ends up intimidating you from showing it to anybody. I'm guessing she has 20 of these in the can, but deciding which show and material to show?

Probably a nightmare!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Well, to me Lionheart is not as great as the Kick Inside or Never For Ever, but really much greater than Red Shoes or Sensuel World. I don´t now remember any weak song in Lionheart.
