I recently played the whole Hounds of Love album and then listened to the others by KT. The Dreaming and before sounded like a younger, more inexperienced Kate (which she was...not to mention she had less production/recording freedom). After HOL all we have is TSW and TRS. Both are excellent albums, but I feel have a track or two that could be omitted. HOL does not have such a track (IMHO). All 12 songs are masterpieces.....perfect 10's. And they are placed in perfect order. What an opener! What a closer (to both HOL and T9thW)! I have many, many albums in my collection, but I've never heard one that didn't need something altered or cut out--except HOL. On and on I go.....perhaps it's cos I bought it in early '86 at the age of 12 (my first Kate album and it's been in my top 3 faves ever since). I doubt it's because Alternative Press ranked it #44 in its Top 99 albums of '85-95---it should've been #1!!! :) And for those interested in my #2 of all time......"Achtung Baby" by U2. Just my opinion, of course. Does anyone agree that HOL just might be the best..........EVER?
