6th studio album by Kate Bush who seems to put another year in between each of her new albums. This is her so far least art pop and most mainstream pop / rock-shaped album. It was well-received by both the press and by fans making it reach number #2 on the UK album charts list but I don't find it really great.
I think, it's a rather transparent album with nothing really great to offer except from repeating some of the arrangements that worked before; although, it's still obvious that the Kate Bush has a talent for writing complex songs and performing with something rare as pure grace.
