Gee, I don't even think her voice is in as good shape on this one.  Not as
many mind-expandingly beautiful lines, in my book.  I think the whole outing
was largely sub-par.

No, it's a great song, but it deserves, nay, DEMANDS to be blasted so loud
that it reduces your house to a pile of dust.  Unfortunately, if you attempt
to do this, you will be overcome by waves of hiss and noise.  Maybe Kate was
attempting to be INDUSTRIAL... yeah, that's the ticket...

You mean they notice an incredible regression towards total boring MOR-ness
and say, "wow, I gotta go get this Kick Inside album immediately"?
