This does not mean though that this is not a serious effort from Bush it is. She even gets Elton John to duet with her on a track. I don't think Kate Bush ever does anything half way and she definitely has gone all in on this album to create a very subdued and cold sounding album. It also features her prominently on the piano and we are reminded at what a good touch she has.
As I said I'm not sure I would start someone out on this album if I was introducing them to Kate Bush, but it is a solid album to add to her body of work.
Following the Rhapsody rating method I give it 2 out of 5 stars for Not Bad.
It'd be interesting to know whether Kate Bush herself set out to do a full record of songs having to do with snow or if somebody close to her one day said, "You know, you've written quite a few interesting songs here that all have something to do with snow ..."
