album Kylie Minogue - 'Tension'

[AdrianNicki]

I don't think I agree with this album having no replay value. I've been listening to this album non-stop in full since it came out. It's my album of the year.

 

I'm excited for Extension but I try not to have high expectations because the extended versions for Padam and Tension weren't that good. I feel like Tension had potential. If they moved that instrumental part to the end and added third chorus after that it would have been perfect to be honest. But there are few songs that I think can only gain from extended mixes. Mainly Hands and Vegas High. It sucks they choose to ignore deluxe tracks because Just Imagine extended mix would be great.

[Frozen99]

give the current state of the album on the charts (nonexistent) i seriously doubt they'll investing that much into the album as was the case with disco.

yeah i disagree as well, it's easily her best album since X for me, there's at least one song i play on daily basis. the only disappointing thing is how they abandoned it after the release week.

Somebody to love is infectious & I want an exTended version

[BraveNewSeth]

This album is great, who is saying it has no replay value?  I’ve been listening to it non-stop since it came out. I love how varied it is compared to Golden and Disco. 

[AdrianNicki]

This is easily the best extended mix so far. It still feels a little empty in some places but it's a massive improvement over the last two. 

[Frozen99]

yeah they learned from the two butchered ones, the elevation the extended mix did for the song..

it’s a shame because the shoot is amazing and the single covers are cute, but the Tension cover is absolute TRASH. not even a romanian pop girl would put out artwork like that

[Asparagus Spears]

I wonder if hold on to now will make any noise and be a cute lil hit for her

I wouldn’t call it dated but I feel like it just doesn’t have much replay value honestly except for a few songs. I love DISCO so much and it aged like fine wine for me but Tension is a bit faceless and most songs don’t give you reason to play them more than a couple times imo if that makes sense. 

I think I agree. I kept replaying Disco and when the extended version came out I kept listening to it. I still listen to it sometimes and I haven't listened to Tension since it came out! I do like Tension and Vegas High though.

It’s actually really grown on me  Specifically the standard version i.e. the green and orange one. It just screams TENSION to me idk. Probably my favorite BMG cover of hers.

I suspect we might finally get to see the cover art without any recolouring or touch ups when the anticipated final edition of the album gets released next year.

Wait why are people saying this sounds dated and has a lot of filler? 
 

is it just because it’s not having “longevity” in the charts?

 

It’s already most played Kylie album

 

Well in lastfm, and I started scrobbling in 2014. 
 

I found it to be just feel good pop, nothing ground breaking but far from dated. 

Imo it’s easy listening Kylie but there’s not much to pull you in like Disco.

 

It’s very by the book for Kylie imo whereas the demos that leaked sound more unique.

I do agree with that. I listen to the demos more than the album tracks, and I am still upset heavenly body isn't on spotify.

I do love all the ig videos from the ppl who attended night one

I did expect more songs from tension though

It also occured to me that she's never really doing songs from impossible princess in tours as one example, it's kind of the same songs over and over

I’m surprised she is doing three “Light Years” tracks as I don’t believe that album was even released in the U.S. (only Canada), as it was deemed too camp for the U.S. market. Her albums that did not receive any U.S. release are as follows:

 

03. Rhythm of Love (1990)

04. Let’s Get to It (1991)

05. KM94 (1994)

06. Impossible Princess (1997)

07. Light Years (2000)

 

Even though much of that material pre-dates when broadband took off and the net became mainstream, I guess Americans have filled in the blanks enough over the years through the use of streaming services and YouTube to at least attain some awareness of those eras. I can’t imagine how dull life must have been for them without the “Rhythm of Love” album (in particular).

Same goes for concerts and tours without songs from these eras -

Impossible Princess is FULL of bangers (I listened to all the X predecessors 2 weeks ago) - why isn't she opening a concert with ENJOY YOURSELF? 

I'd love hearing AUTOMATIC LOVE and SURRENDER live and so on. 

I'm surprised at labeling these albums as too camp, she's got the best discography by far than many American artists(my opinion).

I’m an American and we’ve always had those albums. It’s not like they were never released here and are some big mystery to us. I had Light Years on CD when it released here in 2000.

yet labels were not too keen to help her break into the market, even if she had/has everything she needed(there's always room for more radio play)

I found an edit of Tension album cover and have to share

Discogs suggests otherwise, but okay.
