Northwestern's daily newspaper had an insert yesterday called "U. The
National College Magazine" and it had the following review of TRS:
 
****    
5 stars possibleY
Kate Bush made a bold statement of vocal and lyrical style with her 1978
debut, TKI, and remains triumphantly unique eight albums later.  TRS is
more proof that this woman loves her work.
 
Songs of inspired passion and intimate storytelling will delight long-
time Bush fans as the disc flirts with disco, soul, progressive-rock
and Caribbean sounds, all of it dramatically colored by Bush's boisterous,
gleeful, sometimes painfully expressive voice.
 
In "Rubberband Girl" and "Eat the Music", Bush sings with youthful abandon
and frivolity, then moves defiantly into sophisticated introspection in
"Moments of Pleasure" and "Lily".  This mixture of open femininity and
internal reflection is Bush's specialty, and previously unfamiliar
American listeners should find TRS a good introduction.
