I think the perch has room for more than one album.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I hope it's a return to form with some spark. Aside from a few tracks I found Aerial such a bore.

thats a real pity. I love Aerial and would only put Hounds Of Love ahead of it and maybe The Dreaming on a par.

True. The second disc is superior, and I can see how it kind of lacks an edge, but it is a very blissful and atmospheric album. And come on, the last two tracks are powerhouses.

How dare you disparage one of Kate's albums in this adulation thread? Get him!!!!  I will admit disc one is a little spotty compared to two.

Nice timing for a snow themed album release. I know what I'll put on if we get some this year. More likely to be next though. I'll save the next listen for the hard copy. I guess 50 phrases for snow wouldn't have been as interesting. I believe "snow" was the only single word in that song for snow and it wasn't actually a word for snow but the word itself.

I have listened to the first four tracks now. My first impression is that this lady has aged well and that this is one of her best albums.

A little bit ironic that it isn't snowing in the UK now as it was the same time last year and could even end up being the warmest November for 350 years if it carries on

I know little of Bush, other than hearing a couple of songs a few times, but decided to listen to this. So far (haven't heard the entire thing) I quite like it. And how about that Elton John duet? EJ hasn't sounded this good in 30 years, if ever!

Don't you just hate it when that happens - I could have bought it yesterday in our local supermarket, but no, impatient little me has to pre-order it - and has it arrived? Has it  !
