adrianlFeb 6, 2006oh dear. i was really looking forward to this, yet i seriously considered throwing it out of the window - that dreadful self indulgent rubbish about her son has the emotional depth of a hallmark greeting card. such a shame.

jrNov 9, 2005nice, yes, but considering her prior output this record is rather boring. the beats are reminiscent of cheap keyboard pre-sets. the vocals aren't interesting. the lyrics are atrocious on many of the songs.

StephenCJan 23, 2006She is a mental case and is trying to make music. Why do people like it? The words in her songs are so shocking, "King of the mountain" which is apparently about Elvis (he's never been king of the mountain, he probably couldn't have walked to the local shop). Mybe you need to understand the complex lyrics, and quite simply I don't and I don't want to. So Bad.

JacksonBFeb 7, 2006This sounds like it was made in 1991.

mhJan 26, 2009What a gigantic disappointment. The songs just drag on and on and on without any tension or climax.

DJonesNov 28, 2005Pretentious rubbish. Worse than that, it's boring and embarrassing (Mrs Bartolozzi, Bertie). If an unknown had made this, it would never have been released.

There's no pushing of the envelope because there doesn't need to be. Aerial is rooted in Kate Bush's oeuvre, with grace, flair, elegance, and an obsessive, stubborn attention to detail.
-
Despite her prolonged absence, Bush sounds as vital as ever.
-
Like all ambitious double albums, [Aerial] is not without its flaws, but even Bush's moments of failure are much more interesting than those of her contemporaries.
