album Kylie Minogue - 'Tension'

[TheBoss]

It L-worded in full

[stephen1108]

This is easily her best project in a while, wow

[BlackJesus]

Her best album since Aphrodite 

[stephen1108]

Vegas High needs to be a single ffs  

 

Imagine the Padam Padam - Tension - Vegas High trifecta PUNCH!

[stephen1108]

Disregarding "10 Out of 10", I would say there's not a single dud on here. I feel like "10 Out of 10" wouldn't have even been so offensive if it was just relegated to a deluxe bonus track. Its placement on the album is ugly.

Up to You Still Get Me High and this is not giving at all...

You must be in a mood lovie, cuz it totally gives. Sleep on it.

It sounds so dated and not in a good or campy way. The singles were so good...

Vegas High definitely follows the same sound story. There’s definitely an ‘80s disco/emotopop-a-la-Lost Without You quality to a lot of this album. It’s all meant to be a euphoric rush. It’s the musical equivalent to a steamy shower sex scene.

Not you capturing it perfectly

 

There's a listenable version of "Somebody to Love" out there now too, this is so

[HonourableVomit]

Drum & Running suck, stop lying to yourselves.

I could give or take Running... but Drum definitely hits (padam intended). 

"Piano" and that key change in the end >>>>

Thanks lovie!! I really think is an accurate description of the album.

 

I think I know which copy of Somebody To Love you are talking about, and I think it's actually a transcode of one of the LQ mp3s from days past.

I know there was one before that was practically unlistenable, this one is still not great quality, but it's not horrible and it didn't have that annoying echo

[memo90061]

Story should be a single !!

[stephen1108]

COME ON AND TAKE US

 

 

RIGHT INTO PARADISE

 

 

AIN'T GONNA BREAK US

 

 

WE'RE ON A VEGAS HIGH

 

 

[Visser]

Piano is THAT girl. Tears of Joy and Eyes on You deserved a place on the album too.

 

Anyway, I just did a quick listen and it’s such a good and euphoric record, I’d say it’s better than I expected (‘cause I expected a more generic mess tbh).

 

Vegas High needs to be the third single so that she can have an outstanding thrilogy of singles. That song is the Supernova of the album for sure (so it’s probably never going to be released as a single).

Oh, and Hold On to Now is her best typical emotional track since… I Believe in You, maybe. I almost teared up reading the lyrics, probably ‘cause I’m too gay for handling Kylie Minogue encouraging me.

[jimmytimestep]

Her best project since Aphrodite omfgggggg

 

bop after holy bop

 

also y’all are too hard on 10 out of 10 - it would have been a highlight on KMO despite it being a lowlight here

[Elvenpath]

Baby, what are we holding on to?

Baby, where do we wanna run to?

Oh, we'll figure it out somehow, -how, -how

Keep holding on to now, -now

[Gladiator]

I'm obsessed with Hold On To Now. 

[Rocket]

MAKE MY EYES ROLL BACK WHEN I FEEL THAT VEGAS HIGH

 

[Rocket]

Phew! Story STOMPS

 

[Gladiator]

On my initial listen, here is my ranking. The only song I'm not really into is the title track, which I wasn't into anyway:

 

Hold On To Now
Story
Things We Do For Love
Vegas High
You Still Get Me High
Green Light
Hands
10 Out of 10
Padam Padam
One More Time
Tension
