No thanks
In that section of the world of arts where things are weird seemingly deliberately, "The Sensual World" is right at home. Kate Bush seems to sing from the back of her throat, very rarely belting out lyrics from her whole being. The title track paints a desperate overly saturated picture of a romance novel's cover art, heavily implicating that maybe this album is not just by a woman, but perhaps even for women. In the world of 1989 finding love in a computer from a program ordered from a magazine is either super weird or remarkably prescient, or both. "Deeper Understanding" could have been a metaphor in 1989, but today a person might hear the song and wish for a voice console that meets intimate needs. The addictive properties of personal computing that current (2022) society deals with compared to how it was in 1989 is largely amplified to include the need for family interventions. As the song progresses, even the lyrics break down into the broken brevity of computed language. As far as an opinion on the album, at least this is slightly better than Suzanne Vega anything, and that's generous.
this is effing boring
Yeah this one is a big NOPE from me. Couldn't wait for it to be over.
Really not good. 0 recognized songs
Not my style except the classic “this woman’s work” for the culture
I thought there wasn’t a contender to Janet Jackson. Boy was I wrong this is infinitely worse. Who rated this album? Someone obviously had tinnitus from a young age which has muffled their hearing
Must have got this album mixed up with the 1001 worst albums of all time! Absolutely awful.
A voz da senhora é insuportável, é tao esganiçada, os instrumentos também não ajudam, parecem ter uma sonoridade opressora, e juntando com esta voz só peço socorro. Nota:2/10
Terrible
Hm, känns verkligen som något typ Kristian Luuk älskar. För mig, inte så vidare värst bra. Nej, gillar inte soundet helt enkelt.
I don't know what the odds are but I am disappointed i got two kate bush albums in a row. As I said in my last review I really don't like her style, so I didn't even listen to the album. The first 2 songs were listenable but not enjoyable didn't even go any further. 1/5 ):
I don't find her shake-voice compelling or pleasant to listen to. She should have been a poet. Best track: This Woman's Work
