Number 66 - Celebration - 123 Points
Points Breakdown
Cover - 23 out of a possible 500
Video - 46 out of a possible 500
Song - 54 out of a possible 500
Personal Opinion
Well something had to come last and does it surprise me that it is this ? No, I don't hate it, there are very few Kylie songs that I do and even fewer that I skip. This is usually a song I skip BUT there are times when I let it play where im all "actually its not that bad" but that's probably because I rarely listen to it. It should be on a greatest hits because it is a Kylie song but I don't think it should be on when better songs aren't.
What are your opinions ? too high ? too low ? lets discuss

Celebration, it never does well when it comes to results.
The song is ok in its studio version but on tour i think Kylie performs it very well and the crowd always get behind it.

Song - 17 out of a possible 500

Personal Opinion
It doesn't surprise me this is low, very few fans like it including me, even when it came out I didn't like it and I hate that its performed on every tour. Even the look in the video

I do like Kids, i think it gets a hard time from many fans.
At the time, Kylie picked the perfect person to duet with as Robbie was big at that time and it helped showcase that Kylie was back in business, bigger than ever.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 11th May 2019, 01:01 AM
No surprises so far. I like kids myself but think she could drop it now on the tours but it does provide kylie the opportunity to duet with various people.
Posted by: aeroco 11th May 2019, 09:07 AM
Kids is quite a good track but the only thing that irritated me was that it was released too close to On A Night Like This (probably because it suited Robbie's release schedule) and then Please Stay just a few weeks after. Then parlophone decided no more singles in the UK but they easily could have released YDNY in February. So apart from the LY tour edition they stopped actively promoting it.
Of course Fever was massive so those 4 singles were spread out to maximise promo. Parlophone probably wanted a gap between LY and Fever too so their strategy paid off in the end to be fair!

Personal Opinion
I don't think this is low because its a bad song because I don't think it is, I just thinks it's because its a song a lot of people don't know and haven't invested any time in. The single cover is vey meh which doesn't help.

Ya the singles were rushed and in a way it paid off but a fifth single in Feb may have worked. Parlophone did manage to outdo pwl as in with pwl kylie had 13 consecutive top 10 hits and with parlophone she had 14 consecutive before the run was broke.

Personal Opinion
I knew this wouldn't do well but I am pleased it didn't come last. I love the video and the song, the cover is obviously not very good and deserved low points. I actually remember back in the day searching and finding the CD in Our Price and being so happy someone stocked it.

Song - 20 out of a possible 500
Video - 15 out of a possible 500
Personal Opinion
I know this is generally considered to be one of her least liked songs but I don't mind it at all, maybe its nostalgia and the whole Enjoy Yourself era overall. Were there better single options ? hell yeah but the single cover deserved way more points and I loved the B-Side.

I dont mind tears on my pillow but she has so many better singles more deserving of going number 1.

Album - 56 out of a possible 1,200
Cover - 56 out of a possible 1,200
Song Selection - 31 out of a possible 1,200
Personal Opinion
Something had to come last and it looks like its Kiss me once, do I think it deserves it ? No, do I think its a great album ? No, its a very below par average album for me, lazy album cover, very few single options. I actually prefer the bonus tracks to most of the album tracks. I also really like "Beautiful" and think its better than most of the album. The song "Kiss me once" was also a total saving grace for me but the tour was also very meh. Just overall not a great time for Kylie and her fans.
What are your opinions ? too high ? too low ? lets discuss
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 12th May 2019, 08:39 PM
Kiss me once deserves last for me as for me it remains her most disappointing album.

Cover - 129 out of a possible 500
Song - 57 out of a possible 500
Video - 36 out of a possible 500
Personal Opinion
Personally, I don't get why this song gets such a bad reaction from fans, I love it, does the video song with the song ? No, does the song work with the album ? No, for some reason I just really like the song and the video overall.
What are your opinions ? too high ? too low ? lets discuss
Posted by: Stuart25 13th May 2019, 05:07 PM
I have never really liked All I See. I wouldn't go out my way to listen to it.
Posted by: pippa 13th May 2019, 05:56 PM
I would rate All I See in the weak category for Kylie and part of the disappointing section on the X album.

Number 60 - The other boys - 230 Points
Video - 119 out of a possible 500
Song - 103 out of a possible 500
Cover - 8 out of a possible 500
Personal Opinion
When this first came out it didn't really work for me at all, I like it so much more now though. I thought it would have been higher as it always seemed to be a fan favourite but I suppose the single cover didn't really help.
What are your opinions ? too high ? too low ? lets discuss
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 13th May 2019, 11:12 PM
The other boys is fun and catchy, thought it might have made the top 100.
Posted by: pippa 14th May 2019, 12:50 PM
I didnt initially like The Other Boys but after some week i grew to find it catchy and uplifting.
Not up with the classics, but we have heard much worse from Kylie.
Posted by: Medellíam 14th May 2019, 03:53 PM
Aww poor 'Kids'. I get that it doesn't often work on tour and still gets overused despite that, but the song itself is a lot of fun and the chemistry between Robbie and Kylie in the video and on the times they have performed it together has been smoking.
'All I See' could be a lot worse but it's not a style that suits Kylie and it definitely doesn't fit on X. I feel it was only included on the album as a tool to target America.
I really like 'The Other Boys'! Having Kylie, Jake and Nile on one track feels like a dream line up for fans of any of those artists. I still give it regularly plays and it definitely would have been nice to see it do something chartwise. I remember it got a seemingly random push in the UK months after it was released.
Posted by: pippa 14th May 2019, 05:04 PM
Kylie and Jake should have worked more closely a few years earlier as they would have generated far bigger success.

Cover - 141 out of a possible 500

Song - 48 out of a possible 500
Personal Opinion
Why this was chosen as the American release I will never understand, yeah its an ok song but they had so many better options to pick from, erm hello "Turn it into love"
What are your opinions ? too high ? too low ? lets discuss
Posted by: pippa 14th May 2019, 07:13 PM
Its No Secret is a good song but Turn It Into Love would be my preference for a 5th single from her debut had a 5th single gone ahead.
The 4 singles selected are much stronger than Its No Secret.
Posted by: Medellíam 14th May 2019, 07:30 PM
I find It's No Secret to be on the bland side; I'd have just pushed Turn It Into Love as a proper single too.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 14th May 2019, 08:03 PM
I like it's no secret but glad it wasnt a single. Agree about turn it into love aswell
Posted by: pippa 15th May 2019, 02:50 PM
Her debut had such wonderful single choices.
Easily 6 could have made wonderful singles but the 4 selected done what was needed to launch Kylie.
Posted by: SamJudd 15th May 2019, 05:19 PM
Firstly not surprised that its out first, but it doesn't deserve to be ranked below the X-Mas album (as that's definitely worse). However 'Kiss Me Once' was a pretty epic mis-fire of an album. Signing a new deal with Roc Nation, having Sia & Pharrell Williams on songwriting and production credits and an interesting buzz single 'Skirt' (which didn't even make the final cut), all signs seemed to be pointing at something quite interesting and put Kylie back on top. What we got was very disappointing and quite bland, atrocious promotion, poor management, some questionable music videos and even the live performances lacked soul and energy which caused a lot of old wounds to be reopened: meaning the critical mauling Kylie received during this era. Okay there were some decent tracks on here, but on the whole it came across as very hollow and empty, and simply just not up to scratch. There was a lot of fear in which Kylie's career could may well be over, lacking reinvention and very poor by Kylie's standards, thankfully she would bounce back with her next studio album.
Into The Blue
Getting off to a rather decent start with the usual Kylie lead single, with some excellent strings, synths and programming drums, along with a massive double chorus in which Kylie's vocals soar over the rich production and fresh beats and of course delivering an overall positive message. This was a strong comeback single and was definitely the correct choice for the lead with this up-tempo dance pop number, can't see anything else on here that would have worked, and this deserved better than its chart performance, thanks to that messy release of it only being available 3 months after its debut.
Million Miles
Hard throbbing beats, mellow synths and some light guitars that creates a very decent summery pop/dance track. I must admit that I wasn't keen on this upon first listen, but upon further listens it really clicked with me as it is quite catchy and a definite standout moment on here. Maybe this could have worked better as the follow up single than 'IWGC'.
I Was Gonna Cancel
The infamous second and (ultimately) final single, and now I don't hate this as much as other Kylie fans do, but do agree that this was an epic mis-fire of a single choice and was only picked because of Pharrell's name on the credits. This just feels very cold and Kylie clearly lacks energy on it and of course that awful music video where she looks like she's directing traffic along with those awful Mom jeans, it seemed like that she stopped trying by this point and its chart performance proves it.
Sexy Love
The first of the 3 sex titled tracks on here, and this just bounces along then heads into a bright and joyous chorus, entirely upbeat and very funky. Although this does feel very much Kylie pop by the numbers and doesn't break any new ground, this was due to be the 3rd single and maybe back in Kylie's heyday this would have smashed, but by 2014 this would have suffered the same fate as anything post the lead single.
Sexercise
2 songs in a row with the word sex in them, Mmmm that seems a bit odd, and this is clearly the worst of them with its awfully dated dubstep sound and repetitive chorus that reeks of desperation, in fact the whole thing reeks of that and in my opinion this should have been left on the cutting room floor and replaced with 'Skirt'. Not even good enough to be an album filler.
Feels So Good
Another weak moment with some really generic lyrics, generic beats, and just goes on way too long and just comes across as pretty dull. A definite filler moment and just falls short on the whole.
If Only
Bouncing back really strong now after a couple of lacklustre moments, this is awash with some superb sounds and some dreamy fantastic production on the chorus in which Kylie sounds very radiant yet dramatic, and I like that this offers something a little different to what we've heard so far. Definitely rank this as one of the strongest and best tracks on here.
Les Sex
One of my personal faves on this album and clearly the best sex titled track on this album, with its very synth sound and a strong sense of urgency about it, delivering a cool dance pop number. A fantastic standout that could have easily been a contender for a single release.
Kiss Me Once
One of the more straight forward pop numbers on here with an anthemic ringing chant at the start and then quickly moves into the first verse that definitely has that classic Kylie PWL sound to it, and while okay it may sound a bit outdated, but thanks to some decent production by Sia, this is definitely a decent pop track.
Beautiful
After a few good ones we take an epic nosedive into this abomination with some terribly over processed vocals by both artists and awful production that just falls flat on every level. The only positive note I can say is that Kylie's live solo version sounds much better without all that awful studio trickery. Can't believe this was even considered for a single release.
Fine
Ending the standard edition on a pretty low note, this just never connected with me and find the very repetitive lines very annoying and don't really go anywhere. Again very fillerish and probably worked better as a b-side or something.
Mr President
Why this and the track below were left as bonus tracks is criminal, this again has a very different vibe to the rest of the album with its R&B influenced electro-dance style with lots of sampling and programming on Kylie's vocals that creates a fun sound, with lots of blips and electro-thumping and although not very deep, its hell of a lot of fun.
Sleeping With The Enemy
Officially closing the album with this hauntingly beautiful number with It’s dark and bruising lyrics paint a very clear picture of what the song is all about. With some mesmerizing vocals by Kylie and certainly superior to almost everything on the standard edition of this. A wonderful track on the whole.

The last "hit" for Kylie I suppose is sadly this, I don't hate it but I certainly don't play it much either. I always really hated the bad editing of the video too.
What are your opinions ? too high ? too low ? lets discuss
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 16th May 2019, 03:08 AM
I like higher but disappointed it's her 2nd most streamed single when she has so many other greater singles.
Posted by: Red Blooded Man 16th May 2019, 03:57 AM
Higher is just lazy collab trying to score another top 10 single, which it did of course.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 16th May 2019, 10:59 AM
It did what was needed but it's a duet I often forget she did.
Posted by: pippa 16th May 2019, 02:40 PM
Higher is forgettable, many may say the same about If You Were With Me Now but i find that song memorable.
All her duets (singles) with the exception of Higher are great

I admit it, I love this album. I have easily listened to this album way more than I have with "Kiss me once" and "Body Language" I'm a huge Christmas person and love Christmas songs which helps i'm sure. I just wish the singles were selected and promoted better as they had much better options in my opinion.

Posted by: SamJudd 21st May 2019, 04:05 AM
The results were not bad actually, while some of the covers are questionable at best, the original material was kinda great and in my opinion if this album was full of original X-Mas songs with just a handful of covers, then this would have been a whole lot better and in hindsight, this could have been a lot worse.
It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year
Kicking off the album with something very familiar, this has to be one of the most well known Christmas songs out there and has been covered multiple times, and Kylie's version well its fine enough, and doesn't really add anything new to it. Inoffensive enough and does have that X-Massy feel to it.
Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
Another well known and covered to death X-Mas song that adds vocals from long dead Hollywood icon Frank Sinatra, feeling very phoned in and even Kylie's joyful vocals can lift this above mediocrity.
Winter Wonderland
Short and sweet with a fanfare of trumpets and Kylie brings sexiness to this latest recording of the track in a very similar vein of her version of 'Santa Baby'. Yet another safe and predictable choice for an X-Mas album, I think everybody has sung this song at some point.
Christmas Wrapping
One of the few X-Mas songs I can tolerate, the original 'Waitresses' version is fun and bouncy. However this version which features Iggy Pop loses all of the charm of its original with a very karaoke sound and such a disconnect between the two artists (were they even in the same country) when this was recorded, even Kylie's fun rapping can't save this mess.
Only You
The lead single and yet another unlikely collaboration, this time with comedian James Corden and its not actually that bad, replacing the Electronic sound of the original Yazoo version and replacing it with a simple piano sound and both Kylie and James deliver some nice tender vocals. On the whole the song is a little bland and I would NOT have chosen this as the lead, as there are some far better choices as we go down on the track list.
I'm Gonna Be Warm This Winter
The brisk tempo and delving into the 60's Rock N' Roll sound of the original Connie Francis version, this really proves a good fit for Kylie and wins points for its relative obscurity and while it doesn't stray too far away from the original, this is definitely one of the better tracks on this album and Kylie certainly pays homage to her contemporary with top class honours.
Every Day's Like Christmas
Finally we come to the first original song on here, and definitely stands as the album's highlight, its epic in style and a very gentle laid back groove. This is classy X-Mas magic done right and even got a proper music video unlike the lead, and speaking of that, why wasn't this promoted as the lead single, instead of getting lost in the shuffle. Beautiful and uplifting this has all the makings of a future Christmas classic, hope that one day this will get the attention it truly deserves.
Let It Snow
Back to the standard covers that featured on the first couple of tracks, kinda boring and very predictable, but on the plus side at least its short.
White December
Another original track and again this is pretty great, with a great build up to the chorus, with seasonal drumming and that essential saxophone sprinkled throughout, that gives this track a real joyful X-Mas feel to it.
2000 Miles
Yes this may be yet another cover, but I would probably rank this as one of the better ones with some nice strings and piano, along with Kylie's angelic vocal all over the top of it. Very tender and though provoking and a decent tribute to a modern classic.
Santa Baby
Kylie's first X-Mas song, recorded way back in 2000 as a b-side to 'Please Stay', which has steadily climbed throughout the years, thanks to downloads and has now become a firm X-Mas classic, and not hard to see why as Kylie wrings all of her sexiness, sass and an overall fun into this, and it suits her to a T. This is probably viewed as the real lead single from this album.
Christmas Isn't Christmas Till You Get Here
The 3rd original song on here for this sparkly little number with some amazing vocal performance's by Kylie herself, and if anyone ever doubts her talents, then check this little gem out and is it just me or does this have a little Motown feel to it.
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Closing the standard edition is this sweet little number with Kylie yet again giving a superb vocal performance over this well known Judy Garland classic. Not one of the best tracks on here though, but definitely not one of the worst either.
Oh Santa
Original track #4 and not quite as strong as the other 3, but very nice and quite catchy, which sees Kylie oozing sexiness and worked with the brass section of the orchestra to give it that extra kick.
100 Degrees
The long awaited duet with little sis Dannii and it certainly doesn't disappoint, with this Disco infused X-Mas anthem that has a quiet build up (harking back to Donna Summer) and then just lets rip into something wonderful that's full of festive thrills and chills. A definite standout that should have been included on the main edition in place of anyone of the standard covers.
Cried Out Christmas
Officially ending this collection with an original sultry X-Mas number with electric guitar and tambourine playing throughout. Another good moment on here and like I said the original numbers really do outshine the covers.
Posted by: Dannyboy 21st May 2019, 05:33 AM
The results were not bad actually, while some of the covers are questionable at best, the original material was kinda great and in my opinion if this album was full of original X-Mas songs with just a handful of covers, then this would have been a whole lot better and in hindsight, this could have been a lot worse.
It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year
Kicking off the album with something very familiar, this has to be one of the most well known Christmas songs out there and has been covered multiple times, and Kylie's version well its fine enough, and doesn't really add anything new to it. Inoffensive enough and does have that X-Massy feel to it.
Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
Another well known and covered to death X-Mas song that adds vocals from long dead Hollywood icon Frank Sinatra, feeling very phoned in and even Kylie's joyful vocals can lift this above mediocrity.
Winter Wonderland
Short and sweet with a fanfare of trumpets and Kylie brings sexiness to this latest recording of the track in a very similar vein of her version of 'Santa Baby'. Yet another safe and predictable choice for an X-Mas album, I think everybody has sung this song at some point.
Christmas Wrapping
One of the few X-Mas songs I can tolerate, the original 'Waitresses' version is fun and bouncy. However this version which features Iggy Pop loses all of the charm of its original with a very karaoke sound and such a disconnect between the two artists (were they even in the same country) when this was recorded, even Kylie's fun rapping can't save this mess.
Only You
The lead single and yet another unlikely collaboration, this time with comedian James Corden and its not actually that bad, replacing the Electronic sound of the original Yazoo version and replacing it with a simple piano sound and both Kylie and James deliver some nice tender vocals. On the whole the song is a little bland and I would NOT have chosen this as the lead, as there are some far better choices as we go down on the track list.
I'm Gonna Be Warm This Winter
The brisk tempo and delving into the 60's Rock N' Roll sound of the original Connie Francis version, this really proves a good fit for Kylie and wins points for its relative obscurity and while it doesn't stray too far away from the original, this is definitely one of the better tracks on this album and Kylie certainly pays homage to her contemporary with top class honours.
Every Day's Like Christmas
Finally we come to the first original song on here, and definitely stands as the album's highlight, its epic in style and a very gentle laid back groove. This is classy X-Mas magic done right and even got a proper music video unlike the lead, and speaking of that, why wasn't this promoted as the lead single, instead of getting lost in the shuffle. Beautiful and uplifting this has all the makings of a future Christmas classic, hope that one day this will get the attention it truly deserves.
Let It Snow
Back to the standard covers that featured on the first couple of tracks, kinda boring and very predictable, but on the plus side at least its short.
White December
Another original track and again this is pretty great, with a great build up to the chorus, with seasonal drumming and that essential saxophone sprinkled throughout, that gives this track a real joyful X-Mas feel to it.
2000 Miles
Yes this may be yet another cover, but I would probably rank this as one of the better ones with some nice strings and piano, along with Kylie's angelic vocal all over the top of it. Very tender and though provoking and a decent tribute to a modern classic.
Santa Baby
Kylie's first X-Mas song, recorded way back in 2000 as a b-side to 'Please Stay', which has steadily climbed throughout the years, thanks to downloads and has now become a firm X-Mas classic, and not hard to see why as Kylie wrings all of her sexiness, sass and an overall fun into this, and it suits her to a T. This is probably viewed as the real lead single from this album.
Christmas Isn't Christmas Till You Get Here
The 3rd original song on here for this sparkly little number with some amazing vocal performance's by Kylie herself, and if anyone ever doubts her talents, then check this little gem out and is it just me or does this have a little Motown feel to it.
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Closing the standard edition is this sweet little number with Kylie yet again giving a superb vocal performance over this well known Judy Garland classic. Not one of the best tracks on here though, but definitely not one of the worst either.
Oh Santa
Original track #4 and not quite as strong as the other 3, but very nice and quite catchy, which sees Kylie oozing sexiness and worked with the brass section of the orchestra to give it that extra kick.
100 Degrees
The long awaited duet with little sis Dannii and it certainly doesn't disappoint, with this Disco infused X-Mas anthem that has a quiet build up (harking back to Donna Summer) and then just lets rip into something wonderful that's full of festive thrills and chills. A definite standout that should have been included on the main edition in place of anyone of the standard covers.
Cried Out Christmas
Officially ending this collection with an original sultry X-Mas number with electric guitar and tambourine playing throughout. Another good moment on here and like I said the original numbers really do outshine the covers.
We certainly have different views on this album as I love it and think the Dannii duet is the worst thing on the album, waited all this time for this terrible track and then too make it worse we got two versions 🤢
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 21st May 2019, 12:02 PM
The dannii and kylie duet could have so much more and better,I dont hate the song or love it but I was expecting something far greater.
Posted by: pippa 21st May 2019, 06:17 PM
I agree the duet could have become something much more memorable and special.
That said, 100 Degrees should always been on the original album instead of the re-release.

It is one of her most forgotten or possibly ignored songs which is unjust.

On paper this had so much going from it, the visuals, the first single, coming after Fever but it just failed in my opinion. This is my least liked Kylie album, I just cant stand the vocals, I find the album hard to listen too, the only song I like on it is "Loving Days" which should have been the 3rd single in my opinion.

Album results are in great order so far.
Posted by: SamJudd 25th May 2019, 01:06 AM
Slow
Getting off to an almighty great start with this electro dance number, with some really cool synth sounds and some wonderful deep vocals by Kylie. The song is infectious with its repetitive lyrics and hypnotic rhythm and is definitely very different from any lead single from Kylie so far. Its a shame that the album didn't follow this sophisticated synth sound more, then this could have been another 'Fever' styled success on our hands. But as this stands this has to be one of Kylie's most adventurous offerings of her career.
Still Standing
The new feel of the album continues with some funky guitars and a superb synth beat, with some confident vocals by Kylie, which makes this a definite standout on here, a very well crafted pop song.
Secret (Take You Home)
Another strong sophisticated track with an awesome beat, thanks to the brilliant sample of "I Wonder If I Take You Home" by Lisa, Lisa and the Cult Jam, which works really well with the track, along with Kylie singing in that lower sexy voice it sounds so fantastic. The lyrics are cool too. Simple, but fun, and of course you gotta love Kylie rapping which is always cute and just swell. This should have been the 2nd or 3rd single from this album, a definite potential smash hit.
Promises
A somewhat slight change of pace now with another great slice of polished pop dance. Her vocals are a little too soft, but the electro beat and synth backing track really shine throughout, which makes for yet another very decent feel good track.
Sweet Music
This just oozes style and class, with a fun groove and funky beat, all of which makes for yet another strong standout moment on here.
Red Blooded Woman
The second single from this album, and not something I fully connected with at the time (felt a tad too Americanized), but alas this has grown on me through time and is a really strong single choice with Kylie's sexy vocals layered throughout the track, especially on the fantastic chorus and of course that fantastic music video, which adds more coolness to the track.
Chocolate
This was where the album began to lose me, with the third single which features the most breathiest vocals by Kylie so far, maybe a bit too soft and whispery for my liking. The instrumentation is really very well done, and there are even some samples in the back. Not something I go back to on a regular basis, but I do commend her on trying something totally different.
Obsession
Picking the pace up now with this okay track that's a little cliched, but not bad by any means, somewhat fillerish in my opinion.
I Feel For You
A bit too out there for my liking, this just goes way off the rails and not in a good way, the distorted backing vocals are very off putting, but the bassline is quite good, however the song just doesn't do it for me.
Someday
Another album filler moment, with its darker and underlying tone with some very dreamy vocals which doesn't add much flare to this. Quite bland and probably the most forgettable moment on this album in general.
Loving Days
The funky groove remains, although this time with the backing of a full string orchestra, and Kylie's tender vocals just sweep across the melody and rises continuously till the spine-tingling middle eight when both strings and voice are unleashed. After a couple of not-so great tracks, this is a welcome treat with its epic sounding nature and definitely stands as one of the strongest offerings from this collection.
After Dark
A sultry number to end things now, with some nice seductive vocals and some pretty solid production, and while I wouldn't call this one of the better offerings, its still an okay track and would probably rank somewhere in the middle.

, at being so low, decent points for video and song, but yeah I can see why the cover didn't bring in the points (and probably why it couldn't reach the UK top spot), that cover probably put a couple of people off and they should have used the Australian cover below:.png)
Now isn't that much better, if this was used then this would definitely be much higher.
Cover aside, this is just pure pop Kylie masterpiece, one of her strongest and best from her 80's PWL era, and still pretty high up there overall and never skips it on my Kylie playlist.
Posted by: SamJudd 27th May 2019, 07:52 PM
If they went with a singe released in early '95, then that could have definitely kept interest and help with album sales. 'Surrender' or 'If I Was Your Lover' would have been my picks and then for the summer have 'Time Will Pass You By' as the final single and round things off nicely.

Posted by: SamJudd 2nd June 2019, 05:16 PM
This has to be her most frank and shocking work of her career, and the long 2 year journey of self discovery leading to the making of this collection of songs. When ranking Kylie's albums I always struggle as to where to place this, as its something totally different to everything else she's done before and after, which makes this a very unique experience. So here are my views on each track.
Too Far
The opening track comes racing from nowhere and mixes crisp backbeats with a haunting piano progression and some beautiful strings, along with the Trip-Hop dance rhythm running throughout, creating something very intense and frenetic in tone. Kylie's deep vocals and spit-fire delivery during the verses and the dark, messed up lyrics coat this anti-epic adventure. Of course this is a definite standout moment and getting things off to a great start as well as giving us a great representation of the album. Maybe this would have made a better choice for the lead single, but maybe would have been a bit too risky to be a commercial success.
Cowboy Style
A funky western jam set against a backdrop of synth beats and naked keyboard tones and A single violin knits each chorus and verse together. This really shows Kylie's creativity to mix her style with a Country sound, making this a cracking and accomplished tune and dare I say it another album highlight.
Some Kind of Bliss
The lead single and one of the more pop/rock tracks on this album as well as giving us our first taste of IndieKylie, with some great guitar-filled anthem, layered with strings and trumpets. While I do like the upbeat feel of this, it doesn't really set the tone of what's to come upon its release, with its disappointing commercial performance that got this era off to a bad start with a lack of momentum. This probably should have stayed on the album as an okay album track.
Did It Again
The 2nd single now with its eastern music filled chorus, some aggressive guitar work and quirky and fun lyrics with Kylie battling different incarnations of herself. Her tone of annoyed anger in the lyrics really paints a story and let's not forget the brilliant music video which probably helped this perform much better than 'SKOB' on the charts. This is a really good track and a great single choice, especially on the production side, thanks to its much safer hands of 'Brothers In Rhythm'.
Breathe
Now we come to single #3 of the album now as this marks a return to the darker tones of the album, as this really makes you feel isolated and claustrophobic as you swim into its inner sanctum. Synthesiser's, keyboards, bass guitar and drums are all used excellently on this track, with its subtle nature that makes this a very sublime piece of music. Definitely one of Kylie's most underrated singles of her career, but on here it stands as something very special.
Say Hey
Simplistic in its execution and definitely one of the more sullen tracks on this album and not one of my personal faves, just feels a bit uninspired to me, Kylie's tone and the music which isn't cutting it. Well some people like it as they've named a forum after it.
Drunk
Fast paced Indie/Dance now with her vocals overlapping each other during the chorus and definitely gives off that dark trance vibe, with its deep and personal lyrical content and manic energy, hey the title says it all.
I Don't Need Anyone
Kylie showing her playful side now with this guitar laden track that has that very 90's Brit-Pop sound to it, in very much the same vein as 'SKOB', but despite its short length this feels a little out of place with its surroundings.
Jump
A very striking number with a slow drum beat melody that runs throughout and a quartet of strings that really elevates this to a higher place. Kylie's vocals really shine on here as well with such strength and passion, along with the gorgeous production makes this yet another great track.
Limbo
Guitars and high octane drum beats and a 70’s funkadelic tinge all makes for what's probably the most aggressive track on the album, along with its fast paced synth beat that enters after a high pitched chorus. Another stunning track and maybe another that would have made a better contender for the lead single.
Through The Years
The sad and brooding track that counters the fast paced nature of the previous tracks, and is placed perfectly here which sets up the next and final track. A another deep and personal song about her intense relationship with her ex, and Kylie expresses herself beautifully as she acknowledges the end of this once hopeful yet turbulent coming together of heart and mind.
Dreams
The album perfectly closes with yet another outstanding track, with superb production and more strings that compliment the emotion and drama of this soaring track, and therefore ending things with an almighty bang.

I always like IP but it was such a risk that at the time didnt pay off at all as many thought it was over for kylie. Looking back it was almost the album that saved her career as it led to future golden eras.its def the album kylie herself needed to make for her to accept her place in the market and truly comfortably understand her fan's really wanted pop kylie.
Posted by: pippa 3rd June 2019, 02:47 PM
Certainly a very important album for Kylie and a very personal album to her.
That said, would Impossible Princess Top the list of best album by Kylie herself.
I have always had an interest in how artists rate their own work and i would be very intrigued to see how Kylie would rank her own albums.

04 Kylie
05 Aphrodite

08 X
09 Golden
10 Lets Get To It

12 Body Language
13 Kylie Christmas
14 Kiss Me Once
The Top 9 can generally move around a place or 2 but Lights Years is unbeatable for Number 1.
Kiss Me Once securely holds bottom position.
Posted by: aeroco 3rd June 2019, 07:57 PM
Here’s my studio albums rate:
1. X - lead single should have been The One or Like a Drug. Superb album.
2. Impossible Princess - classy album that sounds fresh 22 years later but the lead single was totally wrong.
....I’ll sell a kidney for these two ^ on vinyl
3. Aphrodite - cohesive Dance Kylie album with All The Lovers a masterpiece.
4. Golden - cohesive and quality all the way, Dancing a gem of a track.
5. Light Years - pop comeback, such a fun listen.
6. Fever - fabulous singles but a little austere and definitely dated.
7. Body Language - has its fun moments but a bit too trend chasing though Slow another masterpiece.
8. Kylie Minogue - tries a bit too hard to be mature but Confide in Me a career highlight.
9. Kiss Me Once - Like Body Language but not as strong. Into the Blue and Les Sex are ace.
10. Lets Get To It - most cohesive and mature PWL album but lacks a killer hit.
11. Rhythm of Love - too try hard except of course for the 4 brilliant singles.
12. Kylie Christmas - a fun listen, too many covers let it down. Love the gloriously squeaky At Christmas.
13. Enjoy Yourself - less dated than Kylie and a little less childish. Never Too Late would be even better if produced by the Pet Shop Boys.
14. Kylie - just so dated but it was perfect for 1988.

I like come into my world, at the time I thought it was the wrong choice for 4th single but now I know it was the right choice.
Posted by: SamJudd 5th June 2019, 12:40 AM
'Come Into My World' - I agree with 'Feel The Fever', at the time I didn't think it was a strong single choice (I wanted 'Fever' at the time), but looking back that would have been totally wrong and disrupted the sophisticated flow run of singles from this album, and 'CIMW' totally grew on me and has aged really well, more so in its single version, even in its original form it pops, definitely her best run since 'ROL'.
Everything from 'Fever' was amazing, the promo, music videos, the looks and etc.... My slight criticism is that we didn't get more singles, either 'Love Affair' or 'Burning Up' would have been perfect 5th single choices. But as it was this era was just perfect anyway.

The Fischerspooner Mix was the best remix I've ever heard until Summertime Sadness came along.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th June 2019, 12:28 PM
I think many of us wanted fever as the 4th single and while I do think it would have easily gone top 10 it's a song that sounds very dated now where CIMW doesnt.
Posted by: pippa 5th June 2019, 02:07 PM
Fever was very popular during the Fever era and like others i thought it had great potential for the 4th single.
Also like others have since said, the record company made the right decision.
That said, Fever could have benefited from some wonderful remixes.

Impossible Princess is an important album in Kylie's career, proving what she was capable of creatively and displaying her willingness to experiment. It may have been one of her least successful albums commercially but it was a pivotal moment and plays a part in Kylie's endurance and longevity.
For me, it still ranks as lower down my Kylie album rank. I just have a lack of personal connection to the album; it's yet to move me in the way it's designed to do and I just prefer Kylie's music with a bit more warmth. I do like the flow of the album though. You've got drastically genre-changing tracks but I feel like there's always hints of the preceding tracks as the album progresses which helps hold it together. It's strange but it just works.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th June 2019, 02:09 AM
It's the misfit among her albums but at the same time works.It was a career saver in some sense in Australia and in the UK it was almost a career ender.But it's one of her most important albums overall as it showed more than ever that kylie was far far away from a one trick poney.
Posted by: pippa 6th June 2019, 01:36 PM
Impossible Princess earned Kylie musical respect from areas that previously overlooked her.
The album showed how versatile Kylie is and really highlighted her total lack of fear in experimenting.
Like others, i agree it is a very important album from Kylie, but it signaled she had hit a crossroads in her career and led her to her return to pop where her fans by large wanted her.

Agreed! Before the Deconstruction era Kylie's music wasn't unique to her. It was the SAW sound. After IP, everything she's done has her own personal stamp on it.
Posted by: pippa 6th June 2019, 02:35 PM
DeConstruction for all is flaws helped Kylie find herself and as you say helped her put her own personal stamp on all her output from then to now.
After leaving PWL Kylie really developed as an artist.
That said, i do think Kylie also developed during her PWL time as both Rhythm of Love and Lets Get To It also show.
PWL provided Kylie with the tools to start her music career and they did that excellently.
For Kylie to sustain the career she has, leaving PWL for Deconstruction was a wise choice.

IWGC clearly buoyed up by a pretty amazing cover photo. So much more personality in that one shot than in the whole of the video!
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th June 2019, 10:45 PM
One of her worst singles ever.
Posted by: Medellíam 6th June 2019, 10:51 PM
"This video is an abstract look at pedestrian life and how we're all just trying to get through and rise above everyday challenges. Although the song talks about a real life event that happened the day I recorded the song with Pharrell, the video has a more conceptual approach and I love how surreal it looks. I found myself almost directing traffic and it made me think about how we're all just trying to negotiate our way through day to day life." - Kylie Minogue
Iconic.
Pharrell is so hit and miss but the misses have this strange habit of starting off alright and then slowly grind you down until you just can't bare them. That's how it feels like with 'I Was Gonna Cancel' - I can make it to the first "Go! Go! Go!" bits and then I just have to turn off. The song is so cluttered and loud and just grates so much. I think it has to be my least favourite Kylie song.
Posted by: Michael Andrew 6th June 2019, 11:22 PM
She really should've cancelled 
Posted by: Medellíam 6th June 2019, 11:33 PM
She really should have!
I think my singles run would have been 'Into the Blue' - 'If Only' - 'Kiss Me Once'.
Posted by: pippa 7th June 2019, 12:27 PM
I was gonna Cancel only ever got released due to Pharrels popularity but there is no taken away it was a huge mistake.
Kiss Me Once overall had very little to offer but Les Sex , If Only and a Million Miles would have made a much better single.
Posted by: Medellíam 7th June 2019, 12:49 PM
I don't really like it but I wonder how 'Sexy Love' might have performed as second single.
Posted by: pippa 7th June 2019, 01:58 PM
I dont think it had "single" vibe at all.
That said, i dont like the song in general.
Posted by: Medellíam 7th June 2019, 02:15 PM
I'm not a great fan, I think the summery production masks some pretty terrible lyrics and even the production is basic. It just has that "feel good" vibe to it which I think could have made it appealing to radio.
Posted by: pippa 7th June 2019, 03:03 PM
I have no doubt whichever song was selected would not have become a big hit but believe a better single choice would have performed slightly better.
As a fan i would have preferred a single i could genuinely support and not just support due to the artists name attached to it.
Crystalize, i thought was fabulous and performed much better than i thought it ever would considering it never got much of a push or support.
Posted by: Medellíam 7th June 2019, 03:34 PM
Yeah I don't think anything would have been a big hit but a better single choice probably could have gone Top 40 and help sell the album. I think the bad reception of I Was Gonna Cancel just stopped the era dead.
Would have been lovely to see Crystallize get a push. I don't understand why some charity releases are just released with no intention of supporting them when surely the whole point is raise as much money as possible!
Posted by: pippa 7th June 2019, 05:06 PM
Crystalize had potential to do much better if pushed.
Yes, a charity single is to raise money so the more the song is pushed the more money made is what i would expect the approach to be.
Crystalize would have helped get some interest into the album, much more so than I Was Gonna Cancel.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 7th June 2019, 09:31 PM
Crystalize is a song from that era that I actually really really like.

My 'Kiss Me Once' run = 'Into The Blue' > 'Les Sex' >' Mr President' > 'Kiss Me Once'
Not saying this would have done any better, or scored anymore hits post lead, but in my opinion, this would have been a much better run, than the MEH we got.

I actually really like Beautiful and would have love it to have been a single.

I love Word is out and don't understand why its so disliked, perfect first single for me but yes "Too Much of A Good Thing" should have been a single too
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 8th June 2019, 12:35 AM
I do enjoy word is out but back then it was the wrong choice of lead single.Too much of a good thing could have worked, give me just a little more time would have worked as a lead too and either would have likely stretched her run of top 10 hits. If u were with me now followed her top 10 stretch would be longer too. Let's gets to it had such different singles, pwl I think didnt know how to handle the album and its chart position shows that.
Posted by: Medellíam 8th June 2019, 12:01 PM
I'm really liking 'Word is Out' after years of completely overlooking it. I think it works as lead single as it's a maturer, R&B sound but still has a nod to the catchy pop of her earlier work. 'Too Much of a Good Thing' would have been a good lead too, in terms of sound, but I'm not sure about it performing any better than 'Word is Out'. I know the Summer Breeze mix was pushed as the main version in Australia and the song managed Top 10, so maybe that could have done well in the UK too?
I'd have liked Let's Get to It to push the dance sound a bit more, with 'Closer' and 'Do You Dare?' included on the tracking list. The aforementioned Summer Breeze mix of 'Word is Out' kinda works with this sound too. Maybe the album could have worked with an R&B Side 1 and a Dance Side 2?
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 8th June 2019, 08:18 PM
Yes,pushing the sounds of do you dare could have made let's get to it a much stronger album.

I'm not sure where KM94 sits on my Kylie album rank just yet but I do prefer it to Impossible Princess. It's a very atmospheric album, one that works best when you listen from start to finish. 'Confide in Me' and 'Put Yourself in My Place' are masterpieces and 'Surrender' and 'Time Will Pass You By' are personal highlights for me.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 10th June 2019, 10:27 PM
Km94 is placed right for me, there is just something about the album that I never really connected with. I dont dislike the album and I dont love it either. Love the artwork though as kylie looks great on the front cover.
Posted by: pippa 11th June 2019, 01:31 PM
KM94 opened doors for Kylie as it helped change her image in a way she wanted and was comfortable with.
Confide In Me while not a highlight Kylie single for myself, did what was was needed.
Put Yourself in My Place, (the better of the 2 songs for myself) was a great single too and then it all went wrong.
I think the album itself needed more statement songs such as Confide In Me for it to have become more successful and stand out.
It was an era that fell flat really quickly and from a sales perspective i feel it underperformed and didn't meet the expectations the label or Kylie had.

Considering how universally disliked this single choice was it has performed ok in this poll.
I like the song so am i happy to see it rate higher than some of the songs already revealed.
It is likely, the single cover, helped Better Than Today in the overall results.
Posted by: SamJudd 11th June 2019, 09:00 PM
Not only was the S.A.W. sound totally out of fashion by this point, but they just didn't know how to progress past the old pop sound and none of the artists that were big during PWL's heyday, were around anymore (apart from Kylie of course), and if she did another album with them, then it would have been career suicide and she would have faded away completely. So this new direction was needed and it does succeed mostly...
Confide In Me
The new Kylie sound starts here with this one song and something completely different to what she's done before, this mixture of dance/indie-pop/trip-hop sounds goes against everything that Kylie's done before and while it can take some getting used to (even to some of the more hardened Kylie fans), It really draws you in with some brilliant production and some wonderful arrangement, as well as some eastern influences and twangs are intermixed with a full string orchestra and haunting vocals from Kylie herself, hitting notes and taking her voice places it had never been before. Creating something well and truly epic and of course this had to be the lead single as nothing else would have worked to this level. A truly unforgettable moment that opened a whole new chapter and a rebirth.
Surrender
This is again different with some breathy sexy vocals and some seductive lyrics and along with a nice 90's dance beat running throughout. A very decent album track and an interesting style for Kylie to take.
If I Was Your Lover
Picking up the pace with this more funky and harder edged dance sound that further showcases Kylie's new diversity, with some more breathy and saucy vocals, and there's even a slight hint of a classy R&B sound, that therefore creates one of the most interesting songs on this album as well as some great production by Jimmy Harry and perhaps could have made a great single choice, as its a definite standout moment on here.
Where Is The Feeling
The 3rd single and final single, released 8 months after the last and completely revamped from the version that sits here. Again this uses that typical 90's dance sound and a lot more pop sounding that we've heard so far. Its light and quite fun and bounces along at an okay pace, but at nearly 7 minutes long, this can be a bit of a slog to get through.
Put Yourself In My Place
Needle scratching opens up this next track, and then some electric guitars, some superb keyboards and synthesizers laden this down tempo number and build to an awesome chorus. This was the album's 2nd single and a definite spot on choice, with its very classy and stylish sound and some fantastic powerful vocals from Kylie throughout, this has to be one of the greatest songs she has ever recorded, and of course that amazing music video that again has to be one of her best. Truly outstanding song and video.
Dangerous Game
Another great track now that begins with some tender vocals and then a crescendo of intense, solid, power vocals with superb string accompaniment. With production from Brothers In Rhythm, this is yet another great example of Kylie leaving behind the past and taking herself and her voice in new and ‘dangerous’ directions.
Automatic Love
After two ballads the pace picks up with this classy little number, complete with strings and great drum beat. Yet again, Kylie’s voice is outstanding and despite some questionable lyrics that I would have to say are pretty advanced for '94 and makes for a very memorable track, this is dare I say it, yet another standout moment.
Where Has The Love Gone
A very chilled dance anthem that's nearly 8 minutes long and definitely outstays its welcome, but Kylie's vocals are soulful and commanding on this track, even if it is one of the weaker moments on here.
Falling
Again I wouldn't rank this as one of the album's stronger moments, but this does have a nice chilled dance beat and a hypnotic rhythm, and plus thanks to The Pet Shop Boys there is some great writing on here, but find the production doesn't really connect with the concept of the track, just sounding very generic, over-long and very filler-ish.
Time Will Pass You By
Closing the album on an almighty bang, after a couple of fillers we get a gorgeous uplifting dance anthem and along with Kylie's joyful vocals as she advises us to enjoy every moment of life, and she really sells it with some wonderful production by M People, as this has that definite feel of one of their songs, but Kylie does manage to put her own stamp on it and its just great. This was scheduled to be a single, but sadly never happened, as this could have definitely breathed new life into this era, and imagine a cracking music video to go along with it, then this could have easily been another firm Kylie classic.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 12th June 2019, 08:59 AM
Time will pass you by is the best non single a realky should have been the third single.
Posted by: pippa 12th June 2019, 02:06 PM
A large percentage of the tracks would have made a stronger single selection than Where is The Feeling.
If I Was Your Lover
Automatic Love
or
Time Will Pass You By
Any of these 3 would have worked as singles and if the 3rd single performed better than Where Is The Feeling a 4th would have likely got a release which would have helped increase sales of the album.
I don't think Where Is The Feeling did anything to increase album sales.

A very good and different single from Kylie in her debut era.
My least liked from the 4 singles but that is not negative.
The 4 singles from her debut were strong, that said i would have preferred Turn It Into Love as the 4th selection ahead of Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquai.

'If I Was Your Lover' is one of my least favourites from the album so I'm glad it didn't become a single, especially in the place of 'Put Yourself in My Place' which was originally planned! The urban makeover of the song was due to it being planned to lead the album in the US, but I've just discovered the original and it sounds better to me:
Posted by: aeroco 13th June 2019, 07:47 AM
The problem with KM94 is the 2 leads were obvious singles but then it had plenty of strong album tracks. Where is the Feeling in its original form was a good choice...I’m not sure why they thought completely altering the single version and releasing it 7 months after PYIMP would lead people to buy the album!
BTT ....decent song just not representative of Aphrodite. The title track should have been the third single, and they should have re recorded Closer with Taio Cruz as a final single.
RBW...quality song apart from the freaking around lyric.
Posted by: Medellíam 13th June 2019, 01:56 PM
Yeah, delaying the release for Street Fighter of all things!
I've no problem with them remixing the song but I think the album version should have appeared on the CD. There was only one performance from the time of release that I can find and that used the Bish Bosh Mix instead of the Dolphin Mix that appears in the video. I feel like all these versions probably made it uncertain which was the actual single version.
Posted by: Dannyboy 13th June 2019, 04:48 PM
I actually prefer the single version to the album version, still shouldn’t have been a single though.

Aug '94 - "Confide In Me"
Nov '94 - "Put Yourself In My Place"
Mar '95 - "If I Was Your Lover" [given a remix]
July '95 - "Time Will Pass You By"
Re-Release KM94 in November to include some extra tracks, 'Where The Wild Roses Grow' & single remixes and etc.
I know the 8 month gap was because Kylie was busy filming 'Street Fighter' or 'Bio Dome', but the label could have easily set time aside to release something early in the year, and 'IIWYL' could have fitted the bill, give it a slight remix, an awesome music video & same can go for 'TWPYB' use the Stuart Masterson edit for that, instead of 'WITF' for the summer period, and maybe re-release the album later in the year to include a few extra tracks and the single versions of these songs that should have definitely breathed new life into this era, and helped it gain more sales.
Plus I think at least one of these songs could have given Kylie another top 10 hit or at the very least both could have went top 20. Below I've included some fan-made covers I've found for the latter 2 tracks & 'KM'94 special edition.

Love those covers - the fan made material from this era was far better than anything Deconstruction made! I still love the fan made ‘The KM94 sessions’ (So good that they actually look like official releases).
I’ve always said it - even though Kylie created some of her best output with Deconstruction they were totally lost with how to market her and their release strategy was all over the place when they didn’t get the results they expected, I’m sure with a more solid label behind her she could have achieved more success with the 2 albums - the way IP was handled was terrible, appreciate the name change etc., but everything Deconstruction did with that release was a disaster that I’m actually surprised it ended up getting released at all!
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 14th June 2019, 12:48 AM

It was a shame however that this was the final UK single, and they could have easily pushed out a 5th for early 2001, which not only could have added more album sales, but easily been another top 10 hit, as she was really on roll at this point in her career. My choice for single #5 for the UK would have obviously been the mega missed opportunity 'YDNY' (if only the label would come to their senses and realize that Kylie being further stereotyped was stupid), I mean so what, it would have it more attention to this and 'LY' and the fans really wanted this released and the public would easily lapped this up in the new year.
Or if not this then anyone of the other choices that I've already named. Plus give 'Butterfly' a proper full American release with a music video, promo and etc...

I like Give Me Just A Little More Time and it was the highest charting single from Lets Get To it.
It was a good reversal of chart fortunes but it is not a stand out song.
Another song Kylie rarely gives nod to anymore.

2 Hearts
We get our first taste of this new album in the form of its lead single, and yes its something very different, more pop/rock than anything Kylie's ever done before, very quirky with a deep chorus and can take some getting used to and as an opening track it feels at odds with the rest of the album as it doesn't really set the tone. But on a positive note its great seeing Kylie so alive and vibrant again.
Like A Drug
Now this is more like it, mixing intense dance bass with some real intense beats and high register of voice. Feeling more like we're in familiar territory with some pop/dance Kylie and its simply sublime, as well as beginning the album properly and the sensuality in the song is really intoxicating and WHY wasn't this a single, at the very least it would have SMASHED...
In My Arms
The synths, the glorious electronic energy fill your head with blazing vibes and abundance of sounds that coat you in joyous ecstasy. Along with Kylie's commanding vocals and Calvin Harris's cool production, we are guided through three and a half minutes of pure pop perfection. A fantastic single choice.
Speakerphone
Some more electronica here, its another fresh new sound to this already growing number of pop/dance tracks. Another strong track here and in my opinion would have made a better lead single for the U.S. market.
Sensitized
A slight change now, with a groovy dance tune and some funky R&B tones on this rather okay/decent number where Kylie vibrates with every verse and chorus. This track has grown on me through time and its quite fun.
Heart Beat Rock
Some more funky dance now which has that cheerleader chant vibe to it with some hot stuttering beats and some more decent production by Calvin Harris.
The One
Probably the best track on here as this commands and stands high above its surroundings. With this one song, Kylie was back. It’s familiar, it’s comforting and above all it’s Kylie at her absolute best. Angelgic and power vocals dominate the final minute of this four minute epic. This should have been the lead single and could/would have given Kylie her 8th #1, pure pop perfection.
No More Rain
The tone goes down with this rather personal number that shimmers and radiates with class and style. Okay it doesn't really fit here but its still really good and emotional.
All I See
This would be the R&B attempt on the album with this very low key number, and while it does have a rather nice groove to it and Kylie's vocals are smooth and soothing. This doesn't fit at all and maybe one of the many fabulous B-Sides would have fitted better.
Stars
Back to the more familiar chilled dance/pop sound now with this gorgeous laid back track that has a really nice rhythm to it.
Wow
Definitely one of the best tracks on here with the rush of synths that opens the first verse to the almighty fun chorus that just bursts with so much life and energy, and also a great example of updating a pop song with 21st century glitz.
Nu-Di-Ty
Blunt and straight to the point on this very experimental song that feels very mechanic and rigid. But at the very least its short and doesn't leave a lasting impression.
Cosmic
Closing the standard edition on a very soulful note, heartfelt, wistful and quite touching. But not one of the better moments on here and quite bland in my opinion.
Rippin' Up The Disco
The CD-Rom bonus track comes in the form of this futuristic mix of bass driven music, and this should have been included on the main edition as it would have been more than welcome.

Based on just the song this would be likely around 30-35 places higher on the countdown.

Easily away higher based on song alone, great song that should have been the lead from x or the second single.
Posted by: pippa 20th June 2019, 03:41 PM
The One had such great potential to have been a huge hit for Kylie.
I regard Like a Drug the same.

Posted by: SamJudd 25th June 2019, 06:03 PM
Word Is Out
Starting things off with the usual lead single, and this shows Kylie heading towards the New Jack Swing sound, with a very different style and production to anything she's done before, but still very much a pop number, with a chorus awash with a fanfare of trumpets and some decent backing vocals. I think that this will always be labelled as that one that broke Kylie's run of 13 top 10 hits, and while I wouldn't call it terrible, its not all that great either, just okay, a decent album track, but lacks that something special and the attempt to keep up with the sounds of 1992, automatically dates it.
Give Me Just A Little More Time
Kylie's cover of the Chairman of the Board hit is a joyful affair and her fantastic tongue rolling vocals are a highlight. Like Kylie's other cover versions from this time period, they do not challenge the originals in terms of quality, however this is definitely the best of them in this rather stylish 90's update of a classic 70's track. This became the big hit of the album when released as the 3rd single and rightfully so and yeah this was a safe option to guarantee a hit, but it worked and while it may never stand as one of her best, its a fun little time capsule.
Too Much of a Good Thing
Back to more funky dance pop with this number with some interesting samples that works really well with the song, with soft understated vocals by Kylie in this hip and fun tune, and again a very different sound that doesn't really sound like a Kylie song at all, but its fantastic nonetheless and a definite album highlight. Maybe this would have worked better as the lead single and maybe could have continued her top 10 run a little longer.
Finer Feelings
Things take a slower pace now with this racy little number and shows a much more mature side to Kylie, and when released as the 4th single, it was was given a major overhaul and reproduction by Brothers In Rhythm. which really elevated it to a much higher level and turned it into a more classy dance tune and the whole thing comes across as really quite sophisticated and was perhaps a precursor to the type of tracks which appeared on her next album.
If You Were With Me Now
A nice Disney styled gorgeous ballad with American soul singer Keith Washington. Co-written by Kylie and Keith and with superbly emotional vocals from both sides. This put things back on track for Kylie by putting her back in the top 5 after the lead underperformed. Yes this is very schmaltzy and cheesy, but definitely shows more maturity.
Let's Get To It
The title track comes next and quite down tempo with a very soulful feel to it, along with a 90's groove behind the whole thing. Not one of my faves on here and at nearly 5 mins long, it goes on a tad bit long.
Right Here Right Now
The pace picks up with this pop/dance track, with a thumping beat from the offset and also benefits from some great backing vocals. Another good quality album track and a fine example of dance-floor Kylie.
Live And Learn
Another pop tune that's very uplifting and so simple in its design and execution. An okay little number nothing all that special though.
No World Without You
A really nice heartfelt guitar ballad dominated by Kylie’s superbly tender voice that opens up in the chorus to show its true strength. This is a fine example of how diverse in sound this album really is.
I Guess I Like It Like That
Ending the album on a much harder dance sound, more club music than commercial dance and twice as long than any other track on here, 6mins in length, making this somewhat of a departure and yet its very cheesy, but hell of a lot of fun with something that really pops on the dance-floor with quite a few samples and surprisingly the whole thing blends well as a cohesive, contemporary track. Which makes this an interesting way to end the album.

Posted by: SamJudd 5th July 2019, 01:22 AM
A little fan-made cover I found for 'Crystallize that I decided to share with Buzzjack.
Why this wasn't included on 'KMO' is beyond me, a wonderful track, just one of the many, many terrible decisions that was made during this era. Leaving off 'Skirt', 'Waiting For The Sun', 'Sparks', 'Voodoo' & hell even the 'Sleepwalker EP'. If these were included and scrap the bland numbers, then this could have been an amazing album.'
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th July 2019, 02:44 PM
Crystalize should have easily made the album and I wish it was on the new greatest hits as the song so far has no home on any kylie album.
Posted by: pippa 8th July 2019, 01:31 PM
I would have welcomed Crystallize on the Step Back in Time release as the song seems lost as it never had a home on any Kylie album.
The song was by far one the highlights from the Kiss Me Once era and why they left it off the album is a mystery.

I have always enjoyed her debut and it was a great debut looking back on it.
Posted by: pippa 11th July 2019, 01:19 PM
As debuts go it was good and very reflective of Kylie.
It set everything up perfectly for the 30 years that were ahead.
Posted by: Medellíam 11th July 2019, 03:56 PM
Her debut is enjoyable enough, probably one that would have been better at the time though and I'd actually go as far to say it's become my least favourite Kylie album. I barely return to it and I feel Enjoy Yourself does the same thing but better. Hard to pinpoint what it is - I would say dated production and not being keen on the vocal pitching, but then I rather like the B-side Getting Closer and Turn It Into Love which technically suffer those points.
Posted by: pippa 11th July 2019, 05:44 PM
The vocal pitching is slightly high but to an extent that works as an advantage.
I still enjoy the material from her debut, there is no song i dislike.
That said, i much prefer Enjoy Yourself.
Posted by: Medellíam 11th July 2019, 06:02 PM
I think Kylie was still finding her voice which is why the vocals are so pitched. She seems to have worked out what she can do during Enjoy Yourself so there's slightly more variety.
Posted by: pippa 11th July 2019, 06:36 PM
Kylie had her debut album complete while in a bubble as everything came at her so fast and heavy at the time.
With Enjoy Yourself she had a little more experience under her belt.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 12th July 2019, 02:34 AM
I love enjoy yourself and it was the perfect follow up to her debut. Neither album has any bad tracks.
Posted by: pippa 12th July 2019, 12:21 PM

I Should Be So Lucky
Talk about a perfect starting point with the song that set everything into motion, and everything we know and love about Kylie can be traced back to this one song. I was very, very young when this came out and always remember begging my mother to get this for me, and eventually she caved in and bought the album on vinyl and became a long standing Kylie fan ever since. What can you say about this song that hasn't already been said. For many years it got ignored and ridiculed, but thankfully all that passed when she became relevant again in the early 00's, and this song has had the last laugh and probably still ranks as her signature tune (even over the other mega smash hit) and the one that most people identify her with. And why the hell not, its pure 80's pop perfection with a cheesy but glorious hook that gets stuck in your head whether you like it or not. A definite classic.
The Loco-Motion
Kylie classic cover of Little Eva's 1962 hit and given that 80's PWL reproduction that gives us another iconic Kylie moment and her version probably stands as of now (and probably forever) as the most well known version of this cheesy classic. Sure its not one of her greatest moments and thankfully she's evolved much better through the years, but as this stands its a fun little pop track that became yet another smash hit for her at the time and setting her on a very successful career path.
Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi
Slowing things down a little bit now with this down-tempo pop number, which Kylie sings really well, her soft vocals sit well against the nice programmed musical backing. A really good strong number that even at this early stage in her career shows some well rounded maturity in her range, which would be better perfected by each release and of course this became the 4th single from this album and yet again becoming another massive hit. The title in English means 'Don't Know Why', in case anyone didn't know that.
It's No Secret
Probably the first song on here where Kylie really gets to stretch her voice and reach for those high notes in each chorus, while at the same time, being a really fun and bubbly pop song. This was due to be released as the 5th UK single, before being passed over for new material and while it would have been interesting, I highly doubt it would have quite reached the heights of the previous hits. But on the whole a really good strong album track that sits well on here.
Got To Be Certain
Another great slice of pure PWL pop perfection and of course the perfect choice to follow the mega smash lead single, with its wistful and fun pop sound that's very pleasing to the ear. A definite highlight of not only her early years, but her entire discography also. It never fails to put a smile upon your face.
Turn It Into Love
From that very first drum beat, this blasts its way in and never lets up, and Kylie's voice commands every verse and chorus which just soars to that whole other level in this rather wonderful gem of a track. This was a single, but only in Japan (they're so lucky), and it should have been released everywhere else, surely it would have been another smash.
I Miss You
We finally come to the first non-single track on the album with this rather sweet fluffy little pop number, that's very much a product of its time. But a nice little moment on the whole, very harmless and inoffensive.
I'll Still Be Loving You
Another down-tempo little number that's probably the closest thing to a ballad on this album, where Kylie reaches for those wonderful high notes on the slowed down chorus and giving us yet again another great little number and another strong album track.
Look My Way
Another decent little number that may not be as high energy as some of the other tracks on here, but still a very neat pop number with a catchy chorus and some great keyboards on the backing track, that gives this some real class.
Love At First Sight
The very first 'LAFS' closes this album and its a joyous slice of pop music, sure it doesn't compare to the true brilliance as its later namesake, but its still okay enough and a decent way to end this fun pop album.

I recall being disappointed too. It’s a great song but the PWL machine was in full force in 1989...Kylie, Jason, Donna Summer, Sonia, Big Fun, Bananarama....I don’t think it stood out enough at the time. Still number 4 pretty good!

The more I see the MTSWY single cover, the more upset I am that Jack has such a small presence.
Shame we didn't get a photo of them both, with equal billing in the typographic hierarchy.
This cover calls Kylie's ego into question – unjustly so, I'm sure.

Kicking off the album in the usual Kylie style with this fantastic lead single which further cemented Kylie at the very top of her game by gaining her 3rd well deserved chart topper. The drum beat rolls and showcases her more mature hip sound, and giving us something a lot more slick than what had gone before. Yet still poppy enough to appeal to appeal to the masses and PWL's target audience.
Wouldn't Change A Thing
This funky summery anthem is single #2, and a fantastic choice to follow the mega smash hit 'HOYH'. Great guitar on the backing track and some cool keyboards on the final chorus's as well as some fun drum machine effects going on, that therefore creates a perfect pop masterpiece and of course yet another well deserved big hit.
Never Too Late
Simple in its construction and executed wonderfully in this gloriously fun pop number that you gotta admit is perfectly catchy, with some glossy production and just all round fun, and follows the previous 2 singles perfectly and still to this day ranks as one of her most memorable singles.
Nothing To Lose
So many tracks on this album could have been singles and here's one of them, with a similar style to the previous tracks and Kylie's subdued vocals in each verse, but becomes more bold as the song goes on. A definite strong moment on this album.
Tell Tale Signs
After 4 upbeat pop anthems, we finally have a ballad and its really nice. With a definite 1930's classic feel to it, a sad little number where Kylie demonstrates the awesome range and power of her voice. a short but very sweet little number.
My Secret Heart
Another slow number that perhaps isn't quite as strong as the previous tracks that's come before, but Kylie's vocals sound really great here as once again gives it everything and pulls off some amazing chords, highlighting just how great a singer she really is.
I'm Over Dreaming (Over You)
The pace really picks up in a really big way, with this thumping number with a very deep bass and a definite more clubby feel to it, with just a hint of some disco in there. Definitely one of the best moments on here and gives us a little hint of what's to come on further albums.
Tears On My Pillow
Back to the ballads now with this cover of Little Anthony and The Imperials 1958 hit was for her debut movie ‘The Delinquents’. Once again her voice shines and the production doesn't stray too far away from the original, but still a rather beautiful sounding song.
Heaven And Earth
Probably the weakest moment on here that doesn't really do much for me to be honest. However we do have some more superb vocals and some soaring music and a long instrumental fade away.
Enjoy Yourself
Back to the dancefloor with this brilliant album closer that ends things on an almighty BANG!, the bass on this song is thumping and continuous with keyboard programming that builds and builds throughout the chorus and by the time the song come to its end, its completely infectious and a riot of sound, this perfectly sets up what's to come on further albums and why wasn't this a single, surely it would have been another huge chart smash and so much lost potential.

I prefer in over dreaming over you and enjoy yourself to all the singles from the album and they are 2 of my fave pwl/kylie songs.
Posted by: pippa 22nd July 2019, 01:37 PM
Im Over Dreaming (Over You) was another one of Kylie's tracks that could have become a huge hit.
The song appears to be universally popular and remains a very solid pop song.
The song also represented a change in sound that became more evident for what was coming on Rhythm of Love.

That is overall a fair placing for In Your Eyes.
As mentioned on other threads, i like the song but also felt Love At First Sight should have made it as the 2nd single from Fever and In Your Eyes serving as the third offering from the album.

I’m the opposite, this is my favourite song on the album but don’t like the single cover and think the video is a bit much.
Posted by: pippa 22nd July 2019, 07:40 PM
From the album, In Your Eyes would place 5th or 6th for best song, but i do like the song.
I also liked the single cover for the singles.

It was a disappointing and bland single cover and all the IP singles were just the paper sleeve covers which I never liked as they are harder to keep in mint condition, I always prefer CD cases.
Posted by: pippa 25th July 2019, 03:07 PM
Paperback sleeves are terrible, they were cheaper to produce but not an attractive purchase in general.
Breathe feels like the IP single Kylie likes the most as she has performed Breathe more than the other singles from the album.

IBIY - classy dance Kylie. Not one of her very best but comes across well live especially when she nails the end line.
Breathe - a quality track that she should be very proud to have released. Very happy it's on SBIT.

Posted by: pippa 31st July 2019, 01:34 PM
Aphrodite is a strong album and a very cohesive piece of work and they really knew the sound they wanted to achieve when creating the album.
As we have said on numerous occasions, the album suffered from the single selection outside All The Lovers but if other singles had been selected things may have been different.
The album returned Kylie to the Top of the album chart and also gave us one of Kylie's biggest selling singles and also her last huge hit and a masterpiece among her glittering collection of singles.

Hand On Your Heart, the song that should have had Kylie the first female to debut at Number 1 in the UK singles chart but lost out due to a mix up.
At the least it got there the week after, the song is likeable and enjoyable despite having one of the cheapest and cheesiest videos'
Posted by: SamJudd 31st July 2019, 08:40 PM
Here are my views on each track...
All The Lovers
Opening track and of course the lead single starts with a statement that not only sets the tone, but the theme that runs throughout this album. Monumental & atmospheric anthem that's complete with lush electronic instrumentations and fantastic soaring vocals where she fully embraces her Disco diva status. This is perhaps one of Kylie's finest ever recordings with its subtle and beautiful production, the euphoric middle-eight and swirling synths that creates an uplifting pop masterpiece. A true return to form and an excellent comeback. Of course lets not forget about that stunning music video which fits the message of the song perfectly and again ranks as one of her best.
Get Outta My Way
Heading into a full-on harder edged club/dance tune that builds and builds throughout, and eventually a powerful chorus with strong confident vocals by Kylie herself who just commands every verse. With a refined and polished production with a great heartbeat rhythm and pulsating beats, of course this makes for a perfect follow up single and contrasts really well with the lead. Its a shame this didn't receive the success it deserved, but will always be a firm fan favourite and not hard to see why, it simply pops.
Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love)
Another pleasing dance-floor filler that explodes with euphoria into the addictive chorus and catchy verses, complete with electro guitars that pulls you deep into the club vibe of the song. The production by Starsmith & Stuart Price is top notch.
Closer
Continuing the club vibe but with a more darker & haunting tone, along with a claustrophobic bassline with the sound of harpsichord and violins that opens this track and then we get some bold but sensual vocals with some spacey synths throughout. Not as thumping as some of the previous tracks, but still a great number that slowly builds to a throbbing rhythm.
Everything Is Beautiful
Slower paced and probably the closest we get to ballad on this album. However this is a lovely song, quite cool, breezy and perfect for chilling out after all the dance anthems. With its warm layered slices of pianos and electronica and Kylie's vocals climbs over the melody beautifully.
Aphrodite
The title track now and its a drumtastic symphony that xplodes with a militant, foot-stomping beat and a searing bolt of fiery energy that showcases Kylie at her most commanding with a chorus that has such a great feel-good factor about it and is awash with keyboards and synth drums. Definitely one of the strongest and best tracks on here and why wasn't this a single, if this followed the first 2 singles with the killer promo 'BTT' had, then this could have smashed and ranked as yet another Kylie classic.
Illusion
A nice dreamy pop number with a relentless throbbing bass and some heavy coos that oozes the usual Kylie charm and class. A nice little track, although I wouldn't rank it as one of my faves from this album or even as one of the stronger tracks on this album. Its decent enough and plods along quite nicely.
Better Than Today
Changing the pace again a little with some layered extensive drum programming and keyboards over this more straight forward pop/dance number with a sugary chorus that bounces along quite nicely. Still to this day a very odd single choice that doesn't quite enough of a punch for that status, and in my opinion should have stayed as a rather good album track.
Too Much
Turning things up to an almighty 11 now with this fast paced dance/club number that bristles with life and vibrancy. Produced by Calvin Harris before he became the mega star he is today and it shows with its next level sound that still stays true to Kylie's sound.
Cupid Boy
Opening with a low-key guitar, then bursts into an awesome rock-synth dance spectacular. It’s darker in style to the rest of the album, but features hauntingly high vocals from Kylie and brilliant synth snares throughout. Its another song with a strong angelic chorus and some cool swirls and throbbing basslines. Another standout moment that could have easily been a single.
Looking For An Angel
Some more chilled out dance now and starting off with some nice strings and some gorgeous and simple production along with some personal lyrics that makes for a nice and simple little number.
Can't Beat The Feeling
Closing the album with this rather energetic number that pumps up the pulse beats and some cool synths yet again for one final push into electro-pop bliss. A great way to close this wonderful album, ending on an almighty BANG.
Posted by: pippa 31st July 2019, 08:46 PM
The single selection did let what is a very strong album down.
Aphrodite and Cupid Boy easily should have been given single status and could have become decent sized hits that would have sold the album further.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 31st July 2019, 10:43 PM
I'm a hand on your heart fan but still waiting for that killer of a live version.
Posted by: pippa 1st August 2019, 11:17 AM
Hand On Your Heart based on the singles from Kylie was the correct lead single.
The singles from Enjoy Yourself worked strongly based on success and Tears on My Pillow despite one of he rweaker tracks provided Kylie with that all important Number 1 in 1990.
The ideal single selection i would have loved is:
Im Over Dreaming (Over You) Lead single
Enjoy Yourself
Hand On Your Heart
Never Too Late

The cover for Confide In Me is her worst to date, so that would have went against it with votes for this.
It is a very eye catching video and different to all Kylie's other video's.
As a song, love or hate it, it was instrumental in ensuring longevity for Kylie.

This is a good placement for Golden considering it is her most recent studio release.
Would the album poll as high in 5 years time, i honestly think it may do so or not far below.
I really enjoy the album but it would rate lower in my own results.
It would place in 7th or 8th place in my own results.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th August 2019, 11:36 AM
Golden is solid and helped bring kylie again more popularity and dancing was a very succesful single even if it had a low peak, it was an album that saw kylie rightfully back at number 1.
Posted by: pippa 6th August 2019, 01:40 PM

Posted by: Dannyboy 6th August 2019, 09:06 PM
Really ? I think its one of the best songs she has released in the last 10 years
Posted by: SamJudd 6th August 2019, 09:11 PM
I think 'Golden' has done wonderfully for her and was something that was needed career and artistic wise. After the damage that was done with 'KMO', this put her back on top and when I heard that she was doing Country/Pop, I like a lot of people had doubts, but when 'Dancing' came out, I was thankfully proved wrong and then the album came out and thought YES, SHE'S BACK. Kylie took a big risk and it paid off, and if this didn't work and performed worse than 'KMO', then I doubt her career would have recovered and she would have retreated for several more years. This did a lot of damage control and has put her in a good place career wise and think her next project will be even bigger. Hopefully she'll do an all out Disco album and it will be incredible.
These are my views on each track on 'Golden' =
Dancing - A great choice for the lead single, a foot tapping country infused pop anthem that really sets the tone for what's to come and definitely one of those many Kylie moments at where she redefines pop music, and even this far into her career, she can still do it. A brilliant track that I still go back to regularly. A firm Kylie classic in her discography that's already littered with them. This is definitely the best thing she's done in years and just an amazing comeback.
Stop Me From Falling - It didn't quite hit me straight away, but this song has a way growing on you and quickly loving it. Follows on perfectly from track 1 with its lively and killer chorus, along with some fantastic keyboard vocals. The song has an even more Country twang to it and the Latin remix with Gente De Zona adds even more flavour to it, giving that something extra that makes it really pop. Plus that music video (the 2nd one) is just incredible and makes this the perfect follow up single.
Golden - The title track and finally for the first time in her career she's finally released one as a single. I love the Country Western yodelling at the start, then quickly firing in with some infectious verses and choruses along with its organic production and some fantastic guitars, this is a great track and like many on this a standout moment.
A Lifetime To Repair - The country theme continues with this barnyard hoedown complete with banjo and finger clicking but still has that classic Kylie pop sound to it. Would have loved a proper music video to this with a comical country theme with a storyline, Kylie getting her heart broken and then taking revenge on her lover with some mad-cap antics that could follow the lyrics of the song. A missed opportunity there I think. The live performances is where this song gets to really shine with its more upbeat production and acoustic guitars. Still a great track though.
Sincerely Yours - The tone comes down with this sweet light pop ballad that's an open love letter to her fans with some beautiful strings and anthemic hooks. This will be a welcome addition to any of her tours, these some wonderful vocals on show here and fantastic lyrics stating simply that she loves us dearly - I hope this doesn't mean she's leaving us.
One Last Kiss - Well every album has them, that one dud that doesn't quite live up to the standard. Not a terrible song by any means, its inoffensive enough with a nice rhythm and good guitar riffs. Definitely belongs on the album and nothing more.
Live A Little - Thankfully things pick up with an almighty BANG, its another hoedown with lots of clapping and then the killer chorus comes in which really POPS. Why wasn't this included on the setlist of her wonderful tour, surely we deserve a live performance of this little gem.
Shelby '68 - A bit of a puzzling song where Kylie sings about her father's car, but it works with every listen, it really burns deep into the soul and demonstrates even more of Kylie's ability to write and sing a downtempo song that not many people would expect from her. A really nice listen.
Radio On - Another beautiful and tender moment with its stripped back production that shows the many layers of not only Kylie herself but what the album has to offer. The acoustic guitars and violins works perfectly with Kylie's vocals and the song itself and for anyone who says her ballads aren't all that great, then check this little beauty out and also the live performances is where this really shines. Its country easy listening at its finest.
Love - The pace picks up with this nice little number where Kylie talks about the effects of love and previous breakups, which really tells a story, simple but quite effective, not one of the strongest tracks on the album, but still good enough to enjoy.
Raining Glitter - Disco Kylie at its absolute finest, definitely one of the BEST tracks on this album and WHY wasn't this a single. Well anyway its Pop/Dance/Disco/Country all perfectly fused together into this almighty force of an anthem, just an all out fun and fantastic experience and could this be a hint of where Kylie's going next...mmm maybe.
Music's Too Sad Without You - A nice mature way to end the standard edition of the album, its a gorgeous and sumptuous duet with the wonderfully talented Jack Savoretti his gravely voice against Kylie’s sad yet amazing vocal are a perfect combination. With such lush and beautiful production and just everything about this country tinged ballad works perfectly, Everything just comes together like magic.
Lost Without You - WOW just OMG wow, why this was only a bonus track is beyond me, yeah okay this doesn't really have that Country sound the rest of the album has, but you gotta admit this is just incredible with Kylie's powerful vocals and electric guitars laden amazing number from beginning to end. Glad this got its time to shine on tour as its magnificent.
Every Little Part Of Me - The outstanding bonus tracks continue with this up-tempo number with some nice high-pitched vocals by Kylie. There's a really nice melody going on here that's more Pop than Country.
Rollin' - The Country comes back which sounds like a mirrored version of 'Dancing' (maybe that's why it was the B-Side). It's okay but definitely belongs as a bonus track.
Low Blow - A bit of an odd ending to the album, doesn't really fit the theme of the album and a total dud, definitely the worst this album has to offer, but considering its just a bonus track it doesn't really offend me all that much, I suppose its catchy enough. But leaving this aside 'Golden' is incredible.
After all these years in the business Kylie can still surprise us, and even more so with this glorious collection of some of her finest work. It was something that Kylie needed to do and she's done it with such style and grace and can't wait to see what she does next.

The song has huge warmth.
We must also credit the song in addition to her duet partner Jason Donovan.
Part of the appeal of both these artists was the big question are they a real life couple or not.
This captured the imagination of many and raised both their profiles considerably, we must also remember such headlines were not as common in the late 80s as they are now about celebrities dating celebrities.
Their relationship was huge news in its day and they dominated so many tabloids, magzines etc for a long period.

I loved that whole time as it was kylie and Jason everywhere, at the time I thought especially for you would never get to number 1 so when it did I was super excited.I also clearly remember the day I finally got my 7" vinyl of it. Simpler times back then.
Posted by: pippa 15th August 2019, 01:10 PM
For a short while Jason Donovan was slightly more popular than Kylie.
In many ways Kylie was lucky to escape a backlash when she went off with Michael Hutchinson as Jason and Kylie were so popular at the time.
As we all, now know, the break up did lead to a huge downward spiral for Jason and Kylie really starting forming her career and went from the girl next door to a poweress woman in that period.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 16th August 2019, 01:17 AM
I was a huge Jason fan back in the day I still enjoy his between the lines album alot but his success started to fade on album two which was around the time he and kylie broke up.
Posted by: pippa 16th August 2019, 12:55 PM
I think Jason was struggling with his image at that time in general as the music he was making was not the type of music he wanted to make, he has often referred to this in interviews.
I think in later years he appreciated it more, drugs destroyed his career too and they completely took over his life.
Kylie in many ways came out of the relationship unscathed publicly.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 16th August 2019, 09:05 PM
I felt sorry for jason then but he was lucky to move on in later years and turn his life around.

The cover really lost it its points, great album that I still really like.
Posted by: Medellíam 16th August 2019, 11:10 PM
I like the cover but I think I'd have preferred it with the dessert background.
The album is my fave from the PWL era. The four singles are top notch plus Always Find the Time and Things Can Only Get Better are single worthy too. The other album tracks are great too and show that Kylie had found her way as an artist.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 17th August 2019, 08:37 AM
I dont mind the cover but in contrast to the covers of the 4 singles it could have been better as the album image doesnt match up to the images she was aiming for on the covers of the singles.
Posted by: SamJudd 17th August 2019, 03:13 PM
Here are my views on 'ROL' album, track by track...
Better The Devil You Know
An album can often be judged by the first track and this is no exception with this magnificent song that kick started a the 90's with a new sound, even from the very first few seconds you can tell its something very different, while still being very much pop, but it crosses so effortlessly over to a hip dance tune with a marked change in Kylie’s vocal strength as she crests over each of the choruses, radiant, exhilarating breath of fresh air. Even to this day its rightly become an anthem for her and still sounds timeless, and definitely ranks as one of if not the BEST thing she's ever done.
Step Back In Time
A thumping 90's dance track, with some added guitars and a dose of 70's music references, and what do you get? This glorious offering, a joyous Disco track with some fantastic production, which makes this the perfect follow up single and there's no denying that it was a compelling proposition - and that mixing old with new created another timeless classic.
What Do I Have To Do
Things just keep getting better with track 3 that winds itself up and explodes into yet another pop classic, definitely one of Kylie's more dance oriented singles with sultry vocals in each verse, before she dominates the chorus with some great energy. Its fast paced and never lets up from its first note to the third chorus fade. While this was remixed for its single release which amped things up and gave this song an entirely new energy, the original album version is still great and makes for yet another standout moment.
Secrets
After three banging dance anthems, the tone is taken down slightly with this track that wouldn't sound out of place on 'EY'. A nice groove with a catchy melody and while its not as strong as the previous tracks so far, its still a very well structured pop song.
Always Find The Time
Back on the Dance/Pop side of things with this great little number, that again features some great vocals from Kylie, she seems very at ease and relaxed throughout the infectious dance beat. Another decent album track that really keeps the momentum going strong.
The World Still Turns
Slowing things down now with this tender heartfelt pop ballad with a very grown up sound, with some strong vocals by Kylie where she really injects some life into this track and even the cheesy sax solo in the middle section really adds some flavour to the song (even if it dates it ever so slightly).
Shocked
Kylie's progression continues here with single #4, and its not hard to see why this era is loved by so many. Harder edged than anything she's done before with the long intro into the vocal builds and builds until eventually electric guitars elevate it to a new plain. And that’s how it stays for its near five-minute length. When Kylie starts to sing, the song just gets better and yes this was again remixed for its single release, but both versions are excellent and completed an excellent run of singles (probably the best of her career).
One Boy Girl
This is where Kylie veered into the New Jack Swing sound, and while it was nice to see Kylie experimenting with new sounds, this however wasn't executed very well, while her rapping was quite credible, the song on the whole is banal and not very memorable or catchy. Definitely the weakest moment on here.
Things Can Only Get Better
Thankfully picking the things up is this dance anthem with some fantastic electric guitars sprayed all over the song, along with some fun lyrics about life and growing up, and there is something just very uplifting about this song, very pivotal to Kylie's evolution, and along with a good melody and the techno beat really adds flavour to the song, all of which makes for yet another album highlight and if there was gonna be a 5th single, then this would have been very fitting.
Count The Days
An okay song that favours the more synth pop groove over the techno/dance beats that runs throughout the rest of the album, which makes this one of the more dated numbers on here and doesn't quite have strong enough hooks, but Kylie does give some good energy throughout and the production is decent enough.
Rhythm of Love
The last track on the album with another great slice of funky 90's pop and more sax over the middle eight, together with more self-assured vocals from Kylie, and therefore ending this fantastic album on an almighty high note.

It remains my least enjoyable single from Rhythm of Love but it remains a good single.

Yip would be my least to but those singles are all so strong.
Posted by: pippa 20th August 2019, 01:02 PM
They certainly got the single choices spot on from Rhythm Of Love.
The album itself really should have sold in much greater numbers but as previously said, Kylie suffered from over exposure at that time.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 21st August 2019, 01:36 AM
Ya that must have been the case but its an album that feels alot more succesful than it was.
Posted by: pippa 21st August 2019, 01:42 PM
Rhythm of Love certainly feels a much bigger seller than it is.
Better The Devil You Know is a signature Kylie single that feels like a Number 1 hit despite landing in runner up position.

Not a song that would place in the Top 20 of my own chart but it is enjoyable.

Get Outta My Way seriously under-performed on release and did little for Aphrodite but it has gone to have success with ongoing streaming since its release.
It is one of her most streamed songs which i find surprising as i would expect the bigger hits to be ahead on streaming.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 22nd August 2019, 11:43 PM
Ya it has dony really well in streaming when its compared to other kylie singles.

Posted by: SamJudd 27th August 2019, 12:47 PM
Password
The album officially begins with a hidden bonus track (you literally have to rewind from the beginning of 'SA' to get it), never worked for me and didn't hear this until many years later. Its a funky little pop number that has a very 'Groove Is In The Heart' by Deee-Lite feel to it. A nice little track, although not entirely necessary, but an ok start.
Spinning Around
This is where things really take off with this explosive disco/pop comeback anthem that brought back a career that was on life support, and gave us the modern pop sound that everybody wanted and needed from Kylie at the time. Assisted with a simple but effective music video and of course those iconic gold hotpants probably helped just a little and after a 10 year absence, this put her back on top and re-crowned as the princess of pop. Imagine if co-writer Paula Abdul lapped this song up for herself, then how different would things have been. But thank god that never happened as this suits Kylie so much better.
On A Night Like This
The awesome pop carries through to this brilliant harder edged dance/pop number that has more of a euro pop feel to it. Beginning with breathy, whispering vocals words then builds to unleash her full vocal power in the middle eight and of course this became the 2nd single and showed no signs of slowing down by becoming another smash hit, and of course helped by yet another classy and cool music video and reaffirming Kylie's renewed popularity.
So Now Goodbye
The disco sound continues with yet another cracking tune that's just very fun and camp, with some strong hooks that makes this an all-round great sing-a-long track.
Disco Down
The quality of greatness continue with this rocking disco number where the whole thing builds and builds beautifully, as well as capturing that 70's sound perfectly thanks to its funky futuristic production and soaring chorus. This is just simply amazing and the first of many tracks that could have easily been a single, I mean just imagine how the music video could turned out.
Loveboat
Some camp disco pop with this fun little number that pretty much sums up this whole album. Its such a joyus affair with a very summery feel to it and really pops when performed live. Ultra camp, ultra fun.
Koocachoo
Back to or just remain on the dancelfoor with this slighty rockier and fun little kooky number that bops along quite nicely, although I wouldn’t rank this as one of my faves on here, its fine.
Your Disco Needs You
Perhaps the greatest Kylie single that never got a UK release. This riotus pop/disco number turns the camp factor up to a 100 and its just glorious, a true gay anthem for the ages. The highlight comes at the end where Kylie takes her voice to its absolute zenith and goes into operatic mode, holding that note till the epic end of this song. This is now a staple of her live performances and concerts, and every time Kylie pulls it off to a standing ovation from her audience.
Please Stay
Some cool shimmering pop now with this classy track that differs slightly from the rest of the album with its Latin tones and Spanish guitar sound, but still has that hint of disco/pop sound and flows really well with the album.
Bittersweet Goodbye
Things slow down with this beautiful heartfelt piano ballad that offers a nice refreshing change of pace from the uptempo numbers and is certainly the most emotional, beautiful song and her voice simply shines here.
Butterfly
So it’s back to the floor with this high octane electro-dance number thats full of life and vitality with its cool club feel, very eurphoric and definately ranks as one of the best and strongest tracks on here, another missed single opportnity.
Under The Influence of Love
The sole cover on this album and its pretty good with lush swirling opening bars and builds into a sophisicated summery little number that’s catchy and bounces along freely for its short duration and is placed perfectly on this album.
I'm So High
One of the more fillerish moments on here with this slightly rockier psychedelic number that has a nice cool vibe to it. An okay moment but wouldn’t call it a standout by any means.
Kids (Ft Robbie Williams)
I know this isn’t well liked amongst Kylie fans, but it did give Kylie another smash hit and did help sell the album, and honestly I quite like it, a glorious show stopping epic and the chemsitry by both artists are on point and lyrically well crafted and just oozes sex appeal. Yeah its more Robbie than Kylie, but its still a hell pf a lot of fun.
Light Years
The closing and title track with this strong offering and its back to the 70’s disco vibe with a classy sparkly beat that’s a slight nod to everything thats come before and therefore ending things on an almighty high. An amazing end to an incredible album.
I will give my views on 'Fever' very soon...

More, More, More
Not kicking things off with something a little different (than the usual lead single), instead begins with this breathy and frothy dance number which sees Kylie at her most alluring and her outstandingly high vocals dominate throughout and its very clear from the first few seconds that we're in for something very different to her previous album and its a great album opener.
Love At First Sight
Now this is where the album really takes off with a muted backbeat and electric piano intro, then suddenly explodes into giant swirling sound, very classy and effortlessly cool and elevated thanks to its state of the art dance production and definitely one of the best examples of 00's pop/dance music. With simple but effective lyrics that evoke the feelings of being in a new relationship, the song is just stunning and quite rightfully established itself as a firm fan favourite. To call this a standout is an understatement.
Can't Get You Out of my Head
Yes this is it, that massive globe trotting lead single where 13 years into her pop career Kylie scores her biggest hit and saw her embraced by pretty much everyone with this cool electric minimal track, very sleek and stylish and often labelled as one of the greatest songs of the 21st century and not hard to see why with its hypnotic beats and futuristic production, everything about this just comes together perfectly and of course Kylie's vocals here are top notch, and what else can I say that already hasn't been said, I know the constant overplay may have killed it for a while for Kylie fans, but enough time has to fully re-embrace and enjoy this glorious gem again.
Fever
The title track and a somewhat departure from the dance/pop that dominates this album, instead being an updated electro track that inspired by the 80's, and along with very tongue in cheek lyrics that just adds to the fun of the song. Its sexy and certainly suggestive, and just an all round good little number.
Give It To Me
Definitely the album's weakest moment here with this hard electro-funk number that's very sharp and heavily chopped up vocals that feels a bit out of place on this album, and then there's that annoying recurrent telephone ringing throughout which really drags things down. The only positive is that at least's its short and could have easily been replaced by any number of the strong B-side/bonus tracks such as 'Tightrope, 'Good Like That' or 'Boy'. The song feels like an experiment that didn't quite work.
Fragile
More classy, sophisticated pop/dance now with this gorgeously layered number that's very soothing especially after the chaos of the previous track with a dreamy yet passionate vocals by Kylie that perfectly captures the essence of the song, whilst at the same allowing a bit of vulnerability over its hypnotic soundscape.
Come Into My World
Whilst this treads a very similar path to the lead single, but this track is yet another highlight on here with its slinky electro beats, cool guitar licks and some cool synths. This may have been a last minute addition to the album and not quite the version we all know and love (when released as the 4th and final single), but this version is still pretty good and Kylie's seductive vocals really keeps the sophisticated flow of the album running smoothly.
In Your Eyes
The thumping and aggressive beat and infectious chorus makes this the perfect follow up single to the massive lead, this is a beautifully crafted number and just a cracking tune all-round that instantly whips you into a frenzy upon first listen and yet sultry at the same time thanks to its blending of dance/pop, nu disco and techno beats that runs throughout and therefore creating a brilliant anthem.
Dancefloor
Another track that may feel a little out of place here thanks to its more poppy sound, but its still a fun little track that bounces along nicely and creating a very joyful experience. Almost a continuation of the previous album thanks to its disco sound with lyrics that have a fairly universal message. Just an okay fun little number all round.
Love Affair
If there had been a contender for a 5th single then this fantastic electro pop number could have easily fitted the bill, with its perfectly crafted production with Kylie at her seductive best. This has a cool club style with trance like inflections that makes this a cracking offering and dare I say it yet another album highlight.
Your Love
Winding things down a bit with this stunning mid-tempo number, with a lilting guitar lends the song a blissed-out feel that's just perfect for chilling out. While this has the same kinda sound as the rest of the album and if this was recorded by a lesser artist then this would have risked sounded samey rather than succeeding at creating a cohesive body of work.
Burning Up
Ending the official version of the album with this awesome track that has the quite unusual teaming of acoustic verses with an upbeat dance chorus, that's full of funk, class and disco with high pitched notes reached by Kylie on the choruses and therefore creates one of the best tracks on here and again like many others on here, could have made an amazing single.
Tightrope
I've added this Australian bonus track to my version of this album and why the hell not, as this is a definite hidden gem in her discography with its beautifully calm opening bars then heads into a catchy dance/pop chorus with some solid production and while it may slightly differ from the sound of the album, this would have been a more than welcomed addition to this already wonderful body of work.

If the rate was carried out in 5 years time i don't think it would come anywhere close to this finishing position.

I just love everything what do I have to do related.
Posted by: pippa 12th September 2019, 02:12 PM
The opening 15 seconds is the best Kylie intro on a single.

I'd like to see more of what do I have to do on her tours and live performances

Very solid outcome for Put Yourself In My Place.
Higher than i would place it but have no issues with its placing.

I prob like PYIMP more now than I ever did,good song but not a top 10 for me.
Posted by: Dannyboy 14th September 2019, 05:42 AM
It’s my number 1 Kylie song ❤️
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 14th September 2019, 12:55 PM
Alot of people love it, I do like that style of music from kylie but I would rate Breathe much higher than PYIML.

Cant get you out of my head
Dancing
Into the blue
Spinning Around
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 14th September 2019, 10:18 PM
Into the blue top 5 and ahead of all the lovers 
Posted by: Dannyboy 15th September 2019, 03:02 PM
Come on guys, lets see your predictions
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 15th September 2019, 05:14 PM
01 Better the devil you know
02 Dancing
03 Cant get you out of my head
04 Spinning Around
05 Into the blue
Im still a bit shocked into the blue has made it this far.
Posted by: pippa 16th September 2019, 03:11 PM
Highly disappointed to see All The Lovers miss out on a final 5 placement.
Slightly painful that the very average Into The Blue is ahead of it and in general to see Into The Blue so high above so many better songs.

Into The Blue should have left a long time back.
It is a good song from a below average album and Kylie has offered us so much stronger.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 19th September 2019, 02:50 AM
Into the blue is way way to high.

An extreme rarity seeing the wonderful Better The Devil You Know not make it to the final 3.
I am disappointed this has happened and disappointed that Spinning Around is higher than it.
From the 3 Songs remaining, i would welcome the following result:
01 Dancing
02 Cant Get You Out of my Head
03 Spinning Around..
That said, Cant Get You Out of my Head coming out on top would also sit well with me.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 19th September 2019, 11:31 PM
Disappointed to see devil at 4, these countdown has def thrown a fair few surprises.
Posted by: pippa 20th September 2019, 01:06 PM
As much as i adore Dancing, i feel it has only got this high due to how recent it is.
I highly regard the song and it falls into my strong category for Kylie singles although it would not make it this high on my own chart.

Ooooooh, surely Head FTW!!
Shocked ITB top 5 but it was the standout moment from 2014 and a glaring omission not being on SBIT.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 20th September 2019, 08:29 PM
From what's left I'm glad SA is number 3,I like it, love what it did for her career but she has loads of better songs.

Im a huge fan of both dancing and cant get you out of my head but head was the deserving winner, a complete game changer for Kylie, it was just a huge single for her and almost 20 years on it remains popular. I can so remember been astonished at her opening week sales at number 1 of 306,000 as that was a serious opening week. It also set kylie up brilliantly for the fever campaign. Dancing is brilliant too and its a song i will enjoy for years to come, its chart peak may look disappointing but it has sold as much as some of what is seen as far bigger hits.
Posted by: Dannyboy 22nd September 2019, 03:32 PM
Only 2 point difference so it could have gone either way
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 22nd September 2019, 04:54 PM
That was a very tight finish of 2 points. I still think it will be interesting to see how dancing would come out the next time this is done, i think it will still do well but maybe not as well as this time.
Posted by: pippa 23rd September 2019, 01:11 PM
The Top 2 songs are both wonderful in different ways.
Cant Get You Out of My Head is a legacy song that turned Kylie's career on its head at the time, it was a global hit.
Dancing is Kylie's best single since the divine All The Lovers and in terms of where Kylie is in the market it was a very successful single.
Posted by: aeroco 24th September 2019, 08:37 PM
Dancing scoring better on song points!
The correct winner though, Head is the runaway crossover hit of her career and forever cemented her superstar status.
