August 15, 20159 yr It's a decent album track, but doesn't really work as a single, but the remixes to breath life into it.

A really good song about incontinence. It flows (hohoho) pretty well and fits in perfectly with the whole album. Closer is a gem and just missed out on being in the top 5 of this rate. It could do with being a minute or 2 longer IMO, it would work well as a longer track. Pretty dark and spellbinding, it draws you in and is a slower moment on the album.
August 18, 20159 yr Closer YES. It really should be longer, it really starts going and then it's all over. It's also one of the most different and un-Kylie songs on the album, which really helps it stand out.
August 18, 20159 yr I've become very fond of 'Closer' as I've got older; definitely learned to appreciate its uniqueness and I find the music and vocals complement each other perfectly. The piece of music between 2:00 and 2:13 that intensifies before exploding into the final chorus is an album highlight for me. I agree with the comments of it needing to be longer - an extended outro would be particularly great. I remember being pissed off that John kept giving it points in the boot and immune thread years ago when I wanted it to be the first thing out. :lol:

August 22, 20159 yr Author 9e6kAHs_QLA 05 | 8.26 | Cupid Boy HS: 10 (Acidburn, Aphrodite, Red Blooded Man) 9.5 (pippa) LS: 4 (heezus) 6 (aeroco) Sky rocket to mars, straight through to your heart. One of the more "Un-Kylie" ish songs on the album, this was crying out to be a single tbh. One of my faves when I first heard the album. A few remixes were made for this, so maybe it was in consideration at some point?
August 22, 20159 yr Another solid track, and could have definitely been single #4, after "All The Lovers">"Get Outta My Way">"Closer">"Cupid Boy"
August 29, 20159 yr Author vypAgJWiifA 04 | 8.34 | Better Than Today HS: 11 (JohnKm) 10 (Aphrodite, Heezus) LS: 7 (mr aly, Regina, aeroco, slowdown73) 7.5 (NickF1) The 3rd single from the album and the 3rd highest single, what flawless placing. By this time in the era, it was clear that Parlo had given up caring. Limping in at the lower regions of the top 40, it was a bit of a flop despite an X-factor performance, which was several weeks too early. Mess. A nice song though, premiered a few years back on her US tour, glad it made the album and remained pretty much unchanged.
August 29, 20159 yr It's a decent enough album track but should never have been a single, that was a mindless decision.
August 31, 20159 yr Author x9HZzdaI6AA 03 | 8.6 | Aphrodite HS: 10 (Aphrodite, Heezus, Red Blooded Man, mr aly, Liam) 9.5 (Regina) LS: 3 (NickF1) 7 (JohnKm) I am a sucker for anything drummy and marchy so this was always a favourite of mine. The lyrics are amazing too and it served as a fab opener to the Les Folies tour. So all in all, a fab placing for this song, the highest album track, slay.
August 31, 20159 yr Yeah, 'Better Than Today' is great but shouldn't have been a single over 'Closer' or 'Cupid Boy'. I remember being annoyed at the time that the X Factor performance was so early or that the record company didn't pull the release forward. No surprise to see 'Aphrodite' as the highest placed album track; a glorious, anthemic track which was the most obvious choice for tour-opener.
August 31, 20159 yr The right top 3 as far as I'm concerned! :D 'Get Outta My Way' would be the preferred winner for me, but I can't really argue if 'All The Lovers' gets it.
September 2, 20159 yr Author frv6FOt1BNI 02 | 8.8 | All The Lovers HS: 11 (Aphrodite, Red Blooded Man, Regina, aeroco, Liam) 10 (Acidburn, slowdown73) LS: -1 (Heezus) 3.5 (NickF1) BHGaW8lBlSk 01 | 9.1 | Get Outta My Way HS: 11 (Acidburn, mr aly) 10 (Heezus, Red Blooded Man, Regina, aeroco, JohnKm, Liam) LS: 6.5 (Aphrodite) 7 (pippa, slowdown 97) And there we have it. If Heezus didn't exist, ATL would have won with an average of 9.7. Just saying.
September 2, 20159 yr Fantastic results, couldn't have had a better top 3. "Aphrodite" was an instant firm fave when I first bought the album, every time Kylie has an album coming out, I always prefer to be surprised and don't listen to the leaks on the internet, I always wait until the album actually comes out to listen to any of the tracks. At first I always wanted "Aphrodite" to be a single, cause I just loved it, but shame never happened, but it's still an amazing album track. "All The Lovers" is also another instant fave of mine, I just loved that song when it came out and was so excited for the album after hearing that brilliant single. Just thinking that between Kylie and Madonna, who have both struggled for hits in this decade, But Kylie managed a top 3 smash with "ATL" in this decade and Madonna flopped hard with her comeback single "GMAYL". Even though Madonna got the much bigger sales, at least Kylie managed one smash hit in this decade. "Get Outta My Way", another instant firm fave of mine, and the perfect follow up single that should have smashed, dunno why it didn't to this day. But still it remains as one of her lost gems.
