Fine Line Between Sensuous and Incipid

Review Score: (6/10)
Kate Bush called this her most 'feminine' album, the point being to create sensuality through sound. In essence, 'The Sensual World' is intended to be symbolic of the romantic and sexual state experienced by women. However, as Bush could never be considered a 'normal' woman by any standard her views on the subject are not surprisingly rather jilted. Still, some very emotional and touching music is on offer here, although the soft celtic tones of this album (which is succeeding two very dynamic albums before it) makes it sound at times a little incipid.
Best Tracks: Love and Anger, Reaching Out, This Woman's Work.
