Hounds Of Love

Not a fan.

It was annoying.

It takes a lot for me to not be able to finish an album, but I absolutely rage quit this one during Jig of Life. So, so, so bad and cheesy and honestly annoys me that people enjoy it. I suppose if I can say anything good about this, I admire some more recent artists that claim to have taken influence from this. To see any kind of beauty and enjoyment in an album like this takes incredible talent. 1/5, now time to move on to the next 4 trash 80s albums

Fuck rating albums. Just let me listen.

No me gustó

1.5 Did not enjoy.

I just don't this record. it's the same song and lyric format throughout and it's gets experimental in the middle.

More like the Hounds of Hell What the fuck was that 1 ⭐️

Besides one song, not for me. 1/5

Almost every attempt at experimentation here misses the mark for me here, badly. Pretty much nothing in the album interested me

We all know that iconic first song in the album, but I actually don't like it that much. I don't think this is my type of music. Sorry Kate Bush.

Pop

I snored through this one.

This reminds me of Tori Amos in a way, which is odd, because I love Amos but hated this. Strangely, although I was around for the 80s, I have no memory of ever having heard of Kate Bush until recently. I feel fortunate that I went that much of my life without having to hear this.

Альбом-атавизм, альбом посредственность, альбом-скука Слушать скучно, ухо ни за что не цепляется. В первой части альбома омерзительный румовый вокал. Это единственное, что запомнилось из всего релиза (а так же странные глитчевые заигрывания с электронникой)

Not for me. I like synth-pop, but this is too melancholy in an annoying kind of way.

Cute

I hated everything about this. I couldn't even listen to a few minutes of it without wanting to skip every song. Should NOT be on this list!

Raritooo Waking the witch, mid en general

After Stranger Things, if i never heard Running Up That Hill again it would still be too soon. The rest of the album didn’t fare much better. Definitely not my thing.

Musically this is a fun, artsy, new wave-esque pop record. It’s well written, well played, and well produced. My main gripe with this record is that I simply cannot stand Kate Bush’s voice. The way she enunciates words just strikes some primal part of my brain that screams at me to turn it off whenever I hear her. I really did not enjoy listening to this album as a result. The fact that I powered through it should show my respect for this project. 1*.

If it was good, It wouldn't have taken it 30+ years to become popular. Less of a sleeper hit and more of a sleeper shit. All the best.

Couldn't get past 2 songs. this is not good

get yourself a room, kate

This is the worst record ever recorded. I love 80s music. I love synth-pop. I love new wave. This is utter trash. Give Ross Gellar a pseudo-opera partner, and you’d get this.

I appreciate the experimentalism of pop Bush is known for, but it just does nothing for me. I know Running Up the Hill because of its resurgence a couple of years ago and the rest of the album does not compare. I found myself annoyed by the end and had to not have any music for a bit.

I cannot stand Kate Bush, she is one of two artists that I cannot listen to along with Beastie Boys

Not my kind of music, there's a couple songs I kinda like tho. I can see how someone could like it, but it's not my cup of tea.

Not crazy about this one. Bad voice, too pop. Rubbish bin for Bush. I didn't write this but I concur!! - Yohawn :)

Same as the previous one.

I would like to take a moment to recognise the poor guy that tried out this site but ended up getting two Kate Bush albums as his first and second album. https://1001albumsgenerator.com/shares/5fa11a5923dd065578a169f9 The chances of that happening are 0.000766%, or about 1 in 130,548. I hope one day our noble hero returns, and God willing, he gets this album as his third. That being said - did I get a different album as everyone else reviewing this or something? I fucking hated this. It was awfully boring, lame, and weird. Genuinely struggled to finish this one, it took me a couple of attempts because I just wanted to slam my head against my desk whenever another song started playing. Thanks to Stranger Things for reviving this, it should have just been left buried in the 80's like asbestos and leaded petrol - the latter I had an uncontrollable craving for drinking whilst suffering through this.

did not enjoy it and didn't finish listening

Please stop singing.

No likey

una delle voci più fastidiose a cui riesco a pensare, mi dispiace

Ew

horrible

I thought the deal with god was for her to become rich and hit the charts and afterwards to retire up a damn hill in the Foula Island in Britain. Unfortunable they used her song in Staranger things and now we have to listen to her again after successfully taking her crappy music of the airwaves. Was a 0 in the 80s still a 0 for me. Despise her voice.

Not my type of music, but thank you!

sings weird but maybe that's just me

Not for me

I forgot about this debacle from the 80’s. Running up the Hill is good - I like the new remake better though

I’m sorry but I did not like this 😭

Well, it’s got the Stranger Things song and for some reason an Irish jig near the end. Strange and should have stayed in the 80s.

I don't like Kate Bush's voice very much. Maybe British pop just isn't for me

Very dark; slow

Nah

Listened to Running Up That Hill and Hounds of Love and reached the conclusion this is decidedly not my genre.

Not sure how it can be called music, as full of discordant sounds as it is. Absolutely dreadful.

Didn’t really feel this album. Nothing really stood out for me. Favorite track is probably Running Up That Hill.

I found this album almost unlistenable. Kate Bush's vocals were extremely annoying, the musical arrangements tried to be innovative but they just end up sounding incredibly derivative, and the lyrics were terrible.

Was just a single? Wasn't a fan

Yay the same song 12 times awesome.

It was all over the place but some songs were interesting

Not really my vibe, it’s almost too synth

Not quite my tempo

Ugh no.

Never warmed to her squeaky voice, sorry.

Loved it, didn’t realize so many hits wer

Ugh this album lol

Hot garbage. Seriously, how do you listen to this?

I fucking hate running up that hill

No

First song killed it for me. Overplayed like nails on chalkboard

Hell no.

Wow, so not a fan of this.

Ugh

TIHI. slow garbage

So Kate Bush back in the news after 30 years, due to Stranger Things. While nice for reminiscing, I liked this as much now as I did back in 85, not very much. She has a nice voice and Running up that hill is ok, but rest of album lost me. Quite a few what the hell songs. 1 to 1.5 Right after this ended on my Spotify, next 2 songs were Head over heels and How soon is now. Not sure I'd put this album in same genre as The Smiths and Tears for Fears

This album feels like an unfinished demo on almost every level. The lyrics read like works-in-progress, the vocals feel like phoned-in scratches, and all of the songs sound like the engineer forgot to unmute half of the tracks before bouncing the mix to tape. I know this was a huge hit for Kate... but I can't for the life of me understand why. The only thing I can think is that it must have been just a bit more interesting than its contemporaries. 1985 was a rough year for music...

Girly 80s pop not for me. Also stranger things

I don't understand why this album received so many accolades. Seemed very standard 80s music to me.

B0000000RING

It’s ok

The 3 last songs almost give this album an extra star, but as a whole, it's just boring as hell.

Absolutely fucking dreadful.

Дженерик музло

Didn't like it.

not for me!! so very british...didn't absorb any of the lyrics/storytelling

Not for me.

Not a big fan

not a fan

Garbage

Horrible

Ethereal almost gospel like

Very 80s. A bit like Cindy Lauper. First time I ever listen to her

The best part of this album was it was the 3rd and final Kate Bush album on this list. That means I don't have to listen to more Kate Bush.

It seems to be an excellent example of the 80s synth-pop sound. But I’m having a hard time trying to differentiate it from any other song in a similar genre that I am familiar with. I won’t go out of my way to listen to it again.

Not for me. Weird af. Space music

Stunning array of tunes
