Kate Bush – 50 Words for Snow

The opening sounded epic and movie-soundtracky.  At first I thought Kate Bush’s voice was that of a pre-adolescent boy or perhaps a castrato.  But after the first song and a half or so, the album seemed to progressively wax self-indulgent.  I’m not opposed to self-indulgent music, but this was a little too much for me.  I can’t in good conscious “like” it because I know I won’t listen to it again.  Ironically, however, perhaps the single most indulgent track (50 Words for Snow) on the album was in fact my favorite.
