I love Kate Bush, but this isn't the Kate Bush album I expected to see nominated for Classic status, nor do I think it should qualify over Hounds of Love or The Dreaming. This one isn't a bad album. It's interesting, in a medieval-pop sort of way. However, I think it pales in comparison to some of her other work. This album doesn't have any standout, timeless tracks like Running Up That Hill, Hounds of Love, or Suspended in Gaffa. To its credit, Egypt is a nice and intense little song. The Wedding List has a great attitude to it... but I'm always going to be drawn to a different record if I want to hear Kate Bush.

EDIT: I am now listening to Hounds of Love, because the album in question made me just want to hear Kate Bush at her best instead.
