Kylie: The Complete Discography Rate - Part. 1 The Albums+ (RESULTS! 2nd place & WINNER!)

[Maki]

Didn't expect "Sweet Music" to be out so soon, but I'm glad it's out.
I gave it a 6. There's nothing remarkable about it, except from some cool production moments, and I would probably like it more if her vocals didn't sound so muffled and almost lost behind the instrumental, especially in the verses. Her voice also irks me on this track. My lowest remaining score from "Body Language" and the album now shouldn't lose any tracks before the top 100 (I'll tolerate "Still Standing", though).

Great to see that my four least favourite songs (i.e. the clunkers) from "Body Language" actually ended up being the first four tracks to leave.

Damn, I always assumed that this was a fan favorite from Body Language. It's a bop. I definitely expected it to outlast "Obsession" and "Promises."

Yeah Sweet Music going before Obsession and Promises is not the tea.

"Obsession" and "Promises" are a 9 and a 10 respectively, so they shouldn't be going anytime soon.

"Obsession" and "Promises" are a 9 and a 10 respectively, so they shouldn't be going anytime soon.

I'd just always assumed that "Sweet Music" was more popular than them both. They all should be in the Top 100 though, in my opinion.

 

[Mike]

Body Language is still my favourite Kylie album and the only song I don't like on it (Someday) left ages ago.

I hadn't listened to Higher since it came out originally, so I just stuck it on to see if I could shed any light on its continued presence. Nope, just as tragic as I remember, and exactly the kind of thing no-one here would have listened to twice if Kylie weren't on it.

 

[Maki]

I'd just always assumed that "Sweet Music" was more popular than them both.

Based on the previous rate, "Sweet Music" was also the fourth song from it to get eliminated (not counting bonus tracks and B-sides), so it looks like it isn't that popular.
The most popular album track from "Body Language" seems to be "Secret (Take You Home)", but I would totally be here for "Loving Days" to end up as the crowning non-single from that album.

 

[Physical]

Not "Kylie Mingoue" dd! One of my favourites from Body Language; the bass is sublime and the little "boys and girls, it's a different kind of sound" excerpt is genius.

'Sweet music' is one of the ones on 'Body language' that lives up to it's promise of sounding like '80s electro but with a modern twist' and of course IT ENDED UP BEING A B-SIDE. It's far better than most of the non singles from it, and arguably better than 'Red blooded woman'.

 

[DJHazey]

I'm sitting here thinking Sweet Music is one of the worst songs on the album and should've left ages ago.

It's on the standard album too.

Loving Days, is STUNNING.

 

[letuinmybackdoor]

I know, but as it was on the b-side of 'slow' it killed any chance of anything more happening to it.

 

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

Sweet Music, was also better I think than the 2 track Slow B Side, Soul On Fire.

 

[Verandi]

I know, but as it was on the b-side of 'slow' it killed any chance of anything more happening to it.

Ah yeah that's true. It happened a couple of times though during that decade, a b-side becoming a single. I'm thinking of Rihanna's Break It Off and Florence's You've Got The Love.

I'm with @Verandi re: Kids, I'd take it over most other Light Years tracks (including all singles but one, oop). I think the energy between Kylie and Robbie is great. It doesn't translate very well in a live setting, though (especially since it's supposed to be a duet and Kylie usually performs it alone), so I have no idea why the GP seems to love it that much. So please, Kylie, my only wish for the next tour is: no Kids. And no Locomotion, no I Should Be So Lucky, no Especially For You, no Spinning Around, no Love At First Sight, but that's a conversation for a different day.

Sweet Music is nice, but on an album as great as Body Language, it's still somewhat underwhelming. I gave it a 9, and yet it's my fourth-lowest score on Body Language.

As for One Boy Girl... Well, I saw it coming. That was my favourite (and highest-rated) PWL track, so for all I care, every single PWL track that's left should go now.

 

[mrdonut]

An actual mess that Higher a) is still in b) has a score of 7 or above c) is perceived as a better (Kylie) song than any of the Rhythm of Love singles

 

[elektroxx]

I'm with you. "Loving Days" and "Slo Motion" are the best non-singles on Body Language, in my opinion, although I guess that the latter is a bonus track.

Every Little Part Of Me - 3 I mean, this is Dancing 3.0 + Stop Me From Falling 2.0. What’s the point of releasing this?

Kids - 4 Well, this sounds so out of place it’s such a mood killer. It’s like a typically anthemic one hit wonder a generic UK rock band could’ve put out to the praises of NME and Kerrang (“they’re the next best thing! rock isn’t dead!”), and which would’ve got a score close to 0 by Pitchfork at the time and macho slurs thrown at it by one of the Gallaghers. And the most ironic thing about it? I would completely get my tipsy, sweaty, and dehydrated life to it if this came on at a party or at her concert. A 4 seems accurate for probably the worst song I ever loved.

 

[Ugly Beauty]

I got my life to Higher back in the days and I still lowkey do...

You've never read Kerrang, have you?

(Granted, neither have I, but still...)

 

[Uno]

I literally said "y'all are NUTS" a lot louder than I intended to at my work desk when I saw One Boy Girl out.

So annoyed I missed out on voting - those PWL gems deserve more than you heathens are giving them!

 

[SlowGinFizzzz]

"Hey yo, Kylie?"

"Mhmmm?"

"What's up with this one boy girl thing?"

"Well..."

"Well let me break it down like THIS!"
