Im sure you will enjoy it and its always nice having the album sleeve to look through. Also im happy to see all album now have a vote, especially enjoy yourself.

They're all great and I have fond memories of all of them (only from 2004 though, I wasn't around when they were released lol). I ordered the set with Kylie, Enjoy Yourself & Rhythm Of Love in and Let's Get To It on its own from amazon as Australian imports and I swear they took like six months to come. It was very exciting when they did finally arrive though!

 

I voted for ROL, such a great transition from the bubblegum pop of her first two LP's. LGTI is good too but it does seem like a step backwards after ROL.

Rhythm of love really marked Kylie becoming the Kylie we know now, it was the first sign of what kylie really wanted to do and have control on her work,im still surprised to this day that rhythm of love didnt sell better as it had 4 strong singles, and at thetime better the devil you know made people notice kylie and many people who hadnt usually liked kylie loved better the devil you know.

yeah, the pics and lyrics are nice to look at.

I find they make the albums more complete and also give them an identity.

Bump!

 

Nice to see Rhythm of Love deservingly having the most votes! :cheer: It's by far the best. Consistent and creative, and such a cohesive dance-pop album. One of her best altogether.

My ranking/thoughts on each:

 

1 Rhythm of Love

What makes this so much stronger than the others is that, whilst there are a range of instruments that are experimented with here, a consistent style is moulded throughout the album and it makes for a solid record on the whole rather than simply a few great singles hovering around some less-than-stellar album fillers. It's mature dance-pop and honestly I don't think I can fault any of the songs. Instrumentation, production and lyrics are always very strong.

 

2 Let's Get To It

I feel like this gets treat a bit unfairly based on what I've read from the posts in this forum. It's an adventurous offering from Kylie as she experimented with R&B, balladry and techno but as a result it feels disjointed as an album. The songs for the most part are strong, though, and there are some great b-sides: Say the Word, I'll Be There, Do You Dare? and Closer, although the latter two songs are largely instrumental techno songs in the same vein of I Guess I Like It and I think putting them all on the album would have alienated and confused fans more than it did around the time. Underrated and ambitious record, though, despite being patchwork.

 

3 Kylie

Standard 80s pop cheese. Not much to really say about it. Again a good album on the whole -- it encompasses late 80s pop music and Kylie's earlier days in all its living glory.

 

4 Enjoy Yourself

The only below average one for me and I think for many others too. There are too many ballads that weaken this one and the annoying thing is that she recorded some good b-sides during this era, particularly Just Wanna Love You and We Know the Meaning of Love, that could have replaced the weaker songs. On the whole it feels quite thin and empty.
