THE KICK INSIDE

This album was very popular when it came out in late 70s. Of course, two songs made the album and Kate Bush became very popular: "Moving" and "Wuthering Heights". Kate Bush vocal quality is really good and in respect to this album, it has become a major selling point for this album. This is not actually the case for me as I can see the beauty of Kate Bush' music as it has an excellent ambient. I thought initially that the music of Kate Bush is something like pop music. But when I observe the subtleties of the music, it goes beyond pop music. There is no such complex arrangement pertinent to this album. But that's not the whole point that I'm trying to make. The beauty of music is not necessarily something to do with complexity. It transcends into the mix of styles, textures, melodies and lyrical expressions. Typically, I do not consider lyrics in most of my reviews but I believe that this is an important factor to consider, especially with Kate Bush' music. As far as this album's concern, it's a good album even though it's not a heavy one in terms of composition.
