SR VI: Incident Free since 2008

Good afternoon, everyone! Keppa4v, is it you?

 That might be an idea!

How was that Brand X album, did you like it?

Does one know if there is a scientific name for suffering from anti-climaxes?

And no, I don't mean sexual anti-climaxes.

Recently, whilst doing my family history, I have found a lot of interesting facts and have come to a few dead-ends in my ancestry too (not like my previous dead-ends mind you; these are much more permanent ones where the paper-trail kind of stops).  I was on a high when I found some information recently but now I've found it, I am anti-climatic.

I have also just finished Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle; it was a great read as are all Vonnegut books I've read so far.  However, I now have run out of Vonnegut books to read until I purchase some more.

So I am now, once more, feeling anti-climatic,

This is not good.

I must listen to Hounds tomorrow, it's been a while.

Sorry folks, but I'm fairly certain two is the ceiling for that album.

It's mostly pop for crying out loud, and has a "prog" side that is worse than the pop side.

What's wrong with pop (when it's done well)?

That's why I like some Muse and Queens of the Stone Age sometimes.  Good pop.

You don't read any of my reviews, do you?

I love good pop music, the same as I love almost any kind of music (I listen to country and rap also).

In fact, it was not Kate Bush's album in and of itself that made me change the rating- it was reviewing Muse's Black Holes and Revelations last night, which I think is largely crappy pop music, yet I still managed to give it a two. 

That's what led me to believe that my one star rating of Hounds of Love was too harsh, especially since out of 1980s pop music, I really rather like four of the first five songs on that one.  I mainly changed the rating because to be honest, I reserve one star ratings for those albums I am almost positive I will never listen to again, and I find Hounds of Love to have some real charm despite my initial disliking it.

But this is a prog website, and so I also try to factor that in as well, and sorry, but what part of Hounds of Love is prog is really bad.  My opinion of course.
