That was the point. It was intentional since that's what people were expecting Tension 1 to be 

They sound the same not in a good way. I don't want to hear 4 songs that sound identical lol. But to each their own!

I'm in NZ right now. :jonny5:

Well I def think people in the thread were doing a bit much, the album is cute. Short, but perfectly cute.

 

I think the perfect album is a mix of Tension I & II. 

 

Glad mother is still successful, but next era I want more hag pop (Roisin Murphy, Jessie Ware, Agnes, Alison Goldfrapp) and give up the tiktok chasing and focus on REAL MUSIC :jonny2:

This is still very much real music. And I'm sorry but the term "hag music" is not something I ever want Kylie associated with ever. I want more of a synthopop direction if possible or another indie trippy pop album full of Breathe's give us Impossible Princess 2.0

Playlist of standard tension and Tension II without the featured artists songs is a nice 20 track album.

I'm listening to it all for the first time because I'm pretending Tension just came out as well and I love long albums!

I have a feeling once this era is done she's 100% re-releasing all of this together tbh. We need Heavenly Bodies and Drum on streaming. Then i'll make my own album.

The 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 track cvnt punch :clap3:

 

DTTM is a cute Disco scrap.

SLY doesn't fit, it might have been a cute Golden session

We deleted Midnight Ride and bop to the other collabs

My idea of a tracklist:

  1. Padam Padam
  2. Tension
  3. Vegas High
  4. Diamonds
  5. My Oh My

  7. Lights Camera Action
  8. Taboo
  9. Someone for Me
  10. Hello
  11. Good as Gone
  12. Kiss Bang Bang
  13. Heavenly Body
  14. Somebody to Love

Is Winter that good?

What a time to be alive. I love it so much. This is the type of music I wanted Kylie to make for a long time. I don't know if I like it more than Tension 1 yet but I really had fun and it will be on repeat for a long time for me. I wish some songs were longer, I wish she released more songs from these sessions instead of collabs. I wish she released two separate and cohesive projects instead of two compilations of different ideas but I'm grateful for what we have. Shouldve Left Ya is such a stain on this record though. It sounds like a Golden reject. I don't think I will come back to this one.

 

Good as Gone, Taboo and Kiss Bang Bang (!!!) are my current top 3 after first listen. I'm not re-doing the tracklist because I love too many songs from Tension I+II and leaks, it would probably be a 30 track project.

Hell yeah! Midnight Ride is so misplaced. How is Still Awake? A bop?

Hopefully, Extension II is coming sooner rather than later.

Listened to the full album just now. Not tolerating the Shoulda Left Ya slander! It's one of the few good tracks on TII imo with the change of pace. The rest of the tracks sounds samey as the tracks as TI except with cheaper production on some of them.

 

TI sounds better overall from the initial listen on TII.

Same. I prefer this to the 87th Disco reject (Dance to the Music)

From T1 i only liked the singles and for T2 i only liked the album tracks 

 

I think i'll just blend them and make one perfect album for me :jonnykin:

DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE FOR ME?

SOMEONE YOU KNOW

TO TAKE ME HOME?

THAT'S WHAT I NEED! 

DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE FOR ME?

LCA - a good album opener. It has a sense of urgency that's really fun. Love the vocoder in the extended version.

Taboo - an Abba disco bop! fun but a little safe?

Someone For Me - catchy. very writing camp'd but i like this style for her. i actually relate to the lyrics of this a lot :rip: someone find me a man pls

Good As Gone- the chorus is interesting. it's not as generic as the first impression might give. i think this will be a big grower. kind of funny that it sounds like Til Its Gone from Britney Jean.

Kiss Bang Bang- omg THIS is more like it :WAP: in her kylie bag. it's very Femme Fatale

Diamonds- i dont like it tbh... the Monday Blues/Fine Wine of this era

Hello- when your heart goes hello... it's obvious what this is. it's cute. will be fine on shuffle, not sure if i love it tho.

Dance to the Music- cheesy/cheerful/annoying but it feels like classic Kylie more than the others so i dont mind. i keep referencing britney but this reminds me of If I'm Dancing. a blissful nonsense type of pop song.

Shoulda Left Ya- the first verse is very Swiftian. i like that style on her, Drum was so good. this one is just okay.

 

EOSN and Midnight Ride are both blacked out for me :rip:

Midnight Ride is misplaced but at least is good Dance Alone on the other hand...

Sorry I have edited it. I have taken to calling the new Hello Still Awake (was either that or Good Mistake) just to differentiate between that and Original Hello.

 

what is Winter like?

honestly i think My Oh My WOULD have been the best song and commercial success here had it not been butchered so badly. a shame. it's not too late to fix it Kylie!

Sounds like she really wanted Ava's nachos after one listen :skull:

LCA, Taboo and Good As Gone are cute - which isn't something hard to achieve compared to the rest - but the rest are just so bland and disposable. Quick lil demos. I don't know what's happening with her, I'll need her to take a few years off and create something exceptional and note-worthy again, these writing camped songs are not cutting it.
