You're right "The Infant Kiss" and "Army Dreamers" are excellent, but you forgot to mention the two best songs on "Never For Ever", "Breathing" and "Egypt". Also "Violin" is quite good. The other songs on the album are all good, but not incredibly so. "Never for Ever" is a transition album for Kate Bush, where she starts to expand her horizons. The songs which she does this on are the best. For her other songs on the album, she stays in the niche she was already in, which was really great for her first two albums, but by "Never For Ever" had worn a bit thin. By the way, "Never for Ever" has a great cover, especially if you get the Canadian pressing (original gatefold cover) rather than the U.S. pressing (not a gatefold cover). It expresses the nature of Kate Bush's music very well, visually. > Her new album is much more balanced in terms of good and bad > songs. GREAT VOICE! What does "balanced in terms of good and bad songs" mean? There aren't any bad songs on "The Dreaming" every single one is a masterpiece of experimental, innovative music that is also incredibly listenable. > But, if heavy guitars and great bass riffs are your thang, > fergit it! Well if that's all you like, yeah. But you can like both heavy guitars and Kate Bush. I do. (Besides Kate Bush as a few songs with heavy guitars. Check out the end of "Breathing" or "James and the Cold Gun" from "The Kick Inside" or, better yet, the live version from "Kate Bush On Stage" or "Kate Bush" (EPs).)
