September 26, 20231 yr I listened to this whole album on the treadmill earlier, and I'm gonna do a unique star rating on how well they work for running purposes! Padam Padam ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hold On to Now ⭐ (I love it to bits, but it really doesn't work as a running song) Things We Do For Love ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (this really gets you pumped!!) Tension ⭐⭐⭐⭐ One More Time ⭐⭐⭐ You Still Get Me High ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hands ⭐ Green Light ⭐⭐ Vegas High ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10 Out of 10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Story ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love Train ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just Imagine ⭐⭐⭐ (totally not the right rhythm, but you can lose yourself in it - especially if you're in the open air) Somebody to Love ⭐⭐⭐
September 30, 20231 yr Here's my second review after listening to it for a week... Padam Padam 10 I don't think I need to repeat how good the song is. Hold On to Now 8 Nostalgic, maybe not third single but I think it can serve well as the final single. Things We Do For Love 9 Love the outro running towards the end! Should have been the third single. Tension 8 The techno effect basically made Kylie's voice slight unrecognizable... and I think it's the video that saves the song, but it's the right choice for second single. As I listen to the song, I can't help but think that Kylie is singing about her... career? Yes, the lyrics is sexually explicit but I get the song being about "well I've been on my fans' minds forever so that's what I would be doing forever." This point is illstruated further as there are several Kylie's reincaration in the video, like... the Did It Again video. One More Time 7.5 A nice slow-down song after the... Tension. :lol: You Still Get Me High 8 Kylie got better at expressing her emotion and it shows in this song. Hands 9.0 A relaxing song with a twist of urban influence...? A good song but I think it's more suitable for Body Language. :lol: Green Light 7.0 A good-vibe song but a bit of a misfit for the album. I personally don't mind it. Vegas High 10 A great high-energy song, should be a single as I found myself repeating the song over and over! My only criticism is that the chorus should've been repeated! 10 Out of 10 0 Bin it. Kylie and Generic EDM never goes well together. She did well when she crossed over into other genre like Hurts, Coldplay and Nick Cave. She is too unique for those generic DJs out there. Story 10 Excellent finish to the album. I think it will be a single since it's personal to Kylie and frankly, she should release whatever she feels like. I get that the song is about her struggle against cancer and the fact that she had to fight Parlophone to get "No More Rain" to the X album was a disgrace. Love Train 6 Sounds meh to me. Just Imagine 7 A nice breezy song which reminds me of "Ocean Blue". Somebody to Love 8 Great finish to the album, should be on the main album. This is not her best album but it's right up there with X, Aphrodite, and her most liberated album since... IP and LY which I think is the most important thing here. Her vocal is also the least edited of all dance/pop albums she's done so far. I will constantly struggle to decide whether Disco or Tension was better album. Again, "Running" should've been on the album. Kylie is the queen of "unreleased tracks that should've made to the albums". Edited September 30, 20231 yr by Red Blooded Man
September 30, 20231 yr I have to say on most Kylie albums there is usually 1 or 2 :huh: moments but so far with Tension I love them all, of course some tracks are stronger than others but overall it’s such a solid piece of work.
