​

@mrdonut - 10 A stunning achievement. Classical music meets futuristic dance
@hawkings24 - 10 A grower, and a slow burner
@Holly Something - 9.5 Rate discovery for me, I love the darker sound of this.
@M24 - 9 It's like a sequel to "Too Far" in a way. It sounds frantic and it completely engulfs you in its atmosphere. Probably my favorite non single, and I love most of the album tracks here.
@Verandi - 8.5 We love a synth symphony.
@nanafan - 7 Great performance on the tour made me like this more.
@Andsov - 5 Hapsichord! I want to love Closer because of its quirkiness. But I think it's very annoying.

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

Closer, gives me serious 90's Kylie vibes.

 

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

Currently playing this masterpiece, and I hope it's at least top 20:

 

[hawkings24]

Closer is such a song! I have vivid memories of me screeching along to 'cloooooseerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, to yooouu nowwwwwwww, neeeeeeeeeever enouuuuuuuuuugh' and my mother being appalled. It's one of those songs that I didn't realise I enjoyed so much until I revisited the album

 

[LoveMachine]

Even though it was released in 2010, Closer suffers from Spotify-disease - it's way shorter than it needs to be.

 

[SlowGinFizzzz]

NOT CLOSER!!! Aphrodite's highlight, hands down! I seriously considered giving this my Parlophone 11 since it's one of the songs that really got me into Kylie back in ~2011.

 

[Reboot]

I really need Aphrodite to be left alone again for a couple of days.

The title track needs to go first. Then it can be left alone.

I'm genuinely surprised that "Aphrodite" is the album's last standing album track, tbh.

No! I love the title track. I briefly played with the idea of giving it my 11 (yes, I love it that much, and I figured all my other faves wouldn't need my support) before settling on one of the album's singles.

 

[Ramalama]

Closer is ok, but I've never really been able to get past the Donald Duck synths at the beginning.

If ever a track was crying out for a full on 12 minute BIR Dolphin Soundtrack remix, it was this!

 

[Ana Raquel]

guys????????

for real

guys??????????????????????

 

[Verandi]

Also let me not drag Your Disco for one day and focus my attention on Please Stay, one of her weakest singles ever. How is that one still here?

Wait. "Please Stay" is still in this?! I thought that we'd lost it at around No. 75! That can vacate immediately, tbh.

 

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

Please Stay, is an absolute gem and I'm very pleased it's been holding on so far so good.

 

[roblognick]

Things Can Only Get Better is one of those songs you could close your eyes and dance to all by yourself and just feel the message, feel the warmth of Kylie’s amazing vocal delivery wrap around you.

Closer feels pretty similar to me. It’s an entire landscape of a song. It’s like the song version of a sensory deprivation tank. It just relieves stress, makes you feel loved and part of something bigger.

Both are capable of being 11s for me.

Please Stay is nice. It’s not a top 40 song in this discography. Get it out.

Donald Duck synths?

 

[LoveMachine]

Oh my god, I'll never be unable to unhear this.

 

[P'NutButter]

Oh this next one...

Wow 8.36


Highest Score: 11 x 2 @Womanizer, @Cowboystyle
10 x 14 @Adora Day, @WhatKindOfKylie?, @funkyg, @WoW73, @Ugly Beauty, @GimmeWork, @Robsolete, @abael, @unnameable, @SophiaSophia, @Markus1981, @Holly Something,
@Sail On, @Remorque
Lowest Score: 4 x 1 @Sprockrooster


​

@Womanizer - 11 This is it. This is pure euphoria distilled into a few minutes
@Ugly Beauty - 10 This was my introduction to Kylie and what an introduction!
@Untouchable Ace - 9.5 Such a perfect song for single release. The only things that bring this down is the comparison to it's siblings on X which do it better.
@nanafan - 8 A bit overplayed now but I loved it when I first heard it. A clear single and a Kylie classic.

​

@M24 - 8 It's good, far from my favorite on this album anyway.
@CasperFan - 8 Familiarity definitely breeds contempt with this one but it is a great pop song, even if it is Kylie by numbers.
@Verandi - 8 She made exactly the song the gays wanted from her and they still got mad. It's a cute bop!

​

@hawkings24 - 7 This song just grates on me, I hate it live especially when she starts chatting 'You're all looking so wow!' like girl shut it. However, the Golden Tour arrangement is unreal and it's the only version of the song I will actively listen to.
@Andsov - 7 Wow is a mixed bag for me. There are elements I like (the Daft Punk-like production) and there are elements I hate (Wow wow wow wow). If it was called something else I would probably score it higher.
@Hudweiser - 6.5 I see why it was a hit, but I've never loved it.
@MrJames - 6 I absolutely loved Wow when the album first came out but I find it a bit annoying now.

​

@mrdonut - 6 A computer algorithm’s idea of what a Kylie song is.

This is exactly why the song does nothing for me.
