I first bought this album on vinyl in the '80's and I've always thought that it was one of her best. It's hard to believe that it was ever recorded in a hurry as it sounds so well crafted, and I had no idea that Kate now supposedly dislikes 'Oh England, My Lionheart', which is one of my favourite Kate Bush tracks. I've bought this again on CD since and it's still great: full of atmospheric, intelligent, thought-provoking, emotional and beautiful songs. Kate is a multi-talented performer, both musically and visually, and something of a genius. Her music brings back wonderful memories and it's a shame that we don't hear more from her. EMI could put out a compilation of B sides/extra tracks which so far have only been available in the 'This Woman's Work' box set. It would also be nice to see stuff like 'The Whole Story' video re-released onto DVD. Well, in the meantime, there's still Kate's older material to listen to and fall in love with, as the fantastic Lioheart proves. Enjoy.

It has been said of Lionheart, Kate's follow up to The Kick Inside that it was a retrograde step in her career, too like the first album. I think that the similarity is one of it's strengths, it continues the themes of The Kick Inside while exploring the darker side of the human experience. The orchestration is beautifuly executed and Kate's voice has never sounded lovelier. The material does seem to thin toward the close except for the theatrical Hammer Horror but an album that contains songs of the quality of Wow, Symphony in Blue and In Search of Peter Pan still deserves a place in the heart of any lover of Kate's Music.

For me, this is Kate Bush's best complete work, free of the sort of musical experimentation and twoddle that manifested itself in some of her later albums (and indeed in some reviews). This may be pop but every track is memorable with a great lyric and a great tune. I may be easily satisfied but I can live without the experimental fripperies and machinations of half the tracks on her later albums. From the very first note to the very last, you will never tire of this album or have to press "Skip" on any track. Buy it.

An excellent album
Having explored many of Kate's albums I have finally been able to enjoy Lionheart. There must have been much expectation placed on this as a follow up to the Kick Inside and this... Read more

One gorgeous musical genius!
Love this album,early Kate Bush stuff for me is the best. There is/was no one comparable,she puts the present bum waving,auto tuned, talentless bimbos to shame.
