What are your opinions ? too high ? too low ? lets discuss

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.

Kinda agree with all this.

Better late than never, here are my views on Kylie's comeback album "X" =

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.

I am with you on your comments on Like A Drug.

A true complete missed opportunity.

I just love like a drug and was so disappointed it wasnt a single.

What are your opinions ? too high ? too low ? lets discuss

The video and the awful art work brought this way down.

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.

The One had such great potential to have been a huge hit for Kylie.

I regard Like a Drug the same.

I really never understood how the record company did not see the huge potential of these songs.

I would have never predicted Some Kind of Bliss to come out ahead of The One.

The album results are coming out really good and the strong are left.

Lets Get To It has its enjoyable moments but remains her weakest PWL album.

These are my views on Kylie's 4th studio album 'Let's Get To It'


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.
