Title: Good, but Not Spectacular
Review: This is my least-favorite Kate album. My favorite one is THE DREAMING. I know that the majority of Kate fans consider HOUNDS OF LOVE to be her best work, but I guess I'm in the minority. The first side of the album is more pop-oriented, and also more enjoyable. The best cuts are the first two. The second side of the album is certainly interesting, but overall not terribly exciting. Kate gets a bit too arty for her own good at places, and I don't find these excesses all that ingratiating. Basically, I just feel this album lacks a punch that makes you want to come back for more. Of all the Kate albums, this is one I seldom come back to listen to.
