HMV Review
Never for Ever has Kate Bush sounding vocally stable and more confident, taking what she had put into her debut single Wuthering Heights from 1978 and administering those facets into most of the album's content. Never for Ever went to number one in the U.K., on the strength of three singles that made her country's Top 20. Both Breathing and Army Dreamers went to number 16, while Babooshka was her first Top Five single since Wuthering Heights. Bush's dramatics and theatrical approach to singing begin to solidify on Never for Ever, and her style brandishes avid seriousness without sounding flighty or absurd. Breathing, about the repercussions of nuclear war, conveys enough passion and vocal curvatures to make her concern sound convincing, while Army Dreamers bounces her voice up and down without getting out of hand. Babooshka's motherly charm and flexible chorus make it one of her best tracks, proving that she can make the simplest of lyrics work for her through her tailored vocal acrobatics. The rest of the album isn't quite as firm as her singles, but they all sport a more appeasing and accustomed sound than some of her past works, and she does manage to keep her identity and characteristics intact. She bettered this formula for 1985's Hounds of Love, making that album's Running Up That Hill her only Top 40 single in the U.S., peaking at number 30. ~ Mike DeGagne, Rovi

この再発版の帯はＬＰ帯の復刻ではないか。【再プレス商品】とだけでなく、この情報も追加すれば売り上げが伸びるんじゃないかな？！コレクターにとって、とくにオールドファンには帯も大事なアイテムだから。0 people agree with this review

ジャケットと共に素晴らしい作品です。邦題のように物語が展開されている感覚になります。個性がありますが、バックグラウンドミュージックにもなります。マジックです！0 people agree with this review
