Hands, Green Light and Love Train. Would have preferred tracks like Running, Electric,  Unlimited Love, Heavenly Body, Talk To Me and Moonlight that didn't make the cut. 

Leak them

[Junlin]

Green Light wooooooo another delicious disco bop the gays really won 

[Junlin]

Vegas High sounds 2000s also 2010s good old day bangers.

87 is crazy and so unexpected

The hate 10/10 get lol, it flows amazingly with the album, it would be better if she sings the hook. 

[memo90061]

I haven't listened to the bonus tracks yet, but the following are my favorites.

• Padam Padam
• Tension
• Story
• Vegas High

The rest are ok. lol

THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE ALBUM

[Club classic]

My only complaint is 0/10 the rest is so good  Just Imagine deserved its place on the standard

[Junlin]

Somebody to Love should replace You Still Got Me High on standard

[crf13]

Hold On To Now for single #3 and Vegas High for single #4 …what a flawless single run this would be!! 

[Junlin]

I just finished once, she did it again like crazy, and I didn’t expect anything disco from this album so it’s a huge delight for me.

This is the woman that paid dust to songs like Tightrope, Sparks, Cherry Bomb, etc and releasing amazing random singles with no promo like Timebomb.

She's known for leaving many of her best material out of her albums for some reason. That's never changing now that she's in her 50's 

I KNOOOW she's a serial offender in that regard and we hate her for delegating some of her best songs to b-sides or not releasing them at all  imagine when she releases her Rarities tho!

i love the sing-talk rap on hands! the others sound like she's on an autopilot, like @Guy12345 said old lady making empowering pop... damn those song titles sound amazing

Well for me, the only standout tracks are padam, tension, story, hold onto now and maybe Vegas high & somebody to love

 

The rest aren't clicking for me but I'll need more listens 

some songs are growers but those are my highlights as well!

I feel like my biggest problem with this is most of the songs sound quintessentially like an old lady making empowering pop anthems.

Things We Do For Love and You Still Get Me High are really not for me. Hold On To Now belongs to that genre but is miles better. 

100%

[JBB]

I'm actually beginning to stan Hands. Please call 911.But 'Love Train' instead of so many brilliant outtakes. What in the world were they thinking. 

 

"Star in our eyes"

[Junlin]

I think HOTN is a flop single choice while you got Hands and Green Light 

[RT Air]

I’m gonna get dragged for this but I’ve just listened to the deluxe tracks for the first time and the only one I really enjoy is Love Train.  Just Imagine and Somebody To Love are a little pseudo-deep to me… I do love the rawer vocals on Just Imagine, though. Somebody To Love reminds me of Everything Is Beautiful in the sense that the intent is clear, but the end result is too vanilla.

 

At least Love Train is unabashed grab-your-booze and make-a-train kind of fun, kinda like Monday Blues

She better hack the algorithms and spam herself across every playlist 

[jim19911126]

Hope this will get more 80 and 90 reviews to stay above 81 in final score, this album deserves it.

[AdrianNicki]

It's an amazing album and it may be in my top 3 Kylie albums to be honest. I've not been so obssessed with an album since Beyonce's Renaissance. I even have outtakes on repeat.

10 out of 10 is the only dud to be honest.

 

My ranking so far:

1. Vegas High

2. Tension

3. Padam

4. Green Light

5. One More Time

6. Hands

7. Story

8. Things We Do for Love

9. Just Imagine

10. Hold On to Now

11. Love Train

12. You Still Get Me High

13. Somebody to Love

14. 0 out of 10

This album is really amazing my god, both my girlies Carly and Kylie have fun records this year! I’m so fed up with sad stuff all the time these days. 
A solid 10/10 for this, just finished it and can’t wait to play it more already. 

[RT Air]

My current ranking 3 listens in:

 

1. Tension

2. Padam Padam

3. Hold On To Now

4. Story

5. Green Light

6. One More Time

7. Hands

8. Things We Do For Love

9. You Still Get Me High

10. Vegas High

11. 10 Out Of 10

 

I’m actually shocked at how clear the order is for me already  

I can see You Still Get Me High growing on me soon, tho

[Guy12345]

oh wow the deluxe tracks are at least not as atrocious as the Disco ones.
