As long as she can still take her shoes off and throw them in the lake...

Kate Bush's Aerial, her first album in 12 years, is, according to a New York Times profile, "split between a group of individual songs (the first CD, subtitled 'A Sea of Honey') and a suite (the 42-minute 'A Sky of Honey')." It reminds me of her best -- and most uneven -- album, Hounds of Love. I love my favorite Kate Bush songs to death (the aggessively feminine ones), and have no interest in many others (the aggressively witchy ones). I wish she had cleared more songs for dance-floor finagling a la "Cloudbusting" for Utah Saints' "Something Good," which is the greatest song ever written.

What say you?
