"Jon and Art: If you children can't get along, I'm turning this car around and we'll go home! Now shut up and use your energy wisely. "Good stuff, but why do the dogs look dead, and what in heaven's name is she doing with her left hand?" "So who's condescending and can't understand _ grungepop stabs at enviable swellness? Stop pontificating _ ol' bean." Anyway old bean, sometimes it's easier to use two words than to say what two stickers worth of words have to offer - and more effective!" Features the singles Running Up That Hill, Cloudbusting, Hounds of Love and The Big Sky. One more time: Better 'Rude + unfriendly' than sexist & condescending. The fifth studio album by the English singer/songwriter. "'Shut Up' is a rude + unfriendly thing to say, Mr.

"'Running Up That Hill' will finally get Kate the recognition she has always deserved in this country. Still the same KB arrangements, maybe a bit more rhythm and perhaps a slightly more polished presentation. In the end, Jonathan Poneman stands as one of the few sane voices in the crowd, but about the only voice I feel like I want to hear more of is Kate Bush's. And, since Kate Bush is a freakishly gifted woman who doesn't seem to care a whole lot what you might think of her, it should also be no surprise that the discussion on her album cover mutates in all sorts of weird ways that have nothing to do with the music, and pretty much everything to do with her gender. So it should be no surprise that, at KCMU in 1985, nobody really had anything bad to say about this album. With over three decades of hindsight, this album seems to be almost universally beloved, and it contains at least a couple songs that people like me - who like her just fine but are by no means Kate Bush scholars - think of as soon as you say the words "Kate Bush." If Kate Bush is an artist who needs no introduction - and she certainly shouldn't in these parts - then Hounds of Love is probably the reason why.

In response to the resurgence in Bush’s popularity in thanks to Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) being featured in season 4 of Stranger Things it seemed fit to finally write a review of that track’s respective album.

Welcome to Review Revue, where every Thursday I dig through the KEXP stacks to share DJ reviews and comments written on the covers of LPs (and occasionally CDs) in the ’80s and ’90s, when the station was called KCMU, the DJs were volunteers, and people shared their opinions on little white labels instead of the internet. Hounds of Love is an Art Pop staple which forefronts the best of Bush’s songwriting and extravagant production.
