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

[Robert]

My Secret Heart received my lowest score on the album with 3, so I’m not sad to see it leaving first.

I was expecting Absolutely Anything to be a lot worse than it is from the comments on here, but I scored it a middling 5. Again no great loss.

 

[Maki]

Whew, my original Body Language favorite (as a wee 11 year old!) and my perennial Aphrodite favorite (spooky ooky synths!)? Taste was exhibited.

"Dreams", "Loving Days" and "Closer" are my favourite songs from their respective albums, so taste confirmed!

 

[DJHazey]

Ddd I love when the dots connect themselves.

I'll connect your dots in a minute.

 

[MilesAngel]

I gave Absolutely Anything 3 but it's 177th on my list. It's just bland and doesn't go anywhere and I don't like the lyrics. I think I was also triggered by Simon Pegg in the video (I can't stand him).

 

[Ana Raquel]

uhhh i gave a 7.5 for Absolutely etc yet I'm not on the highest score?

 

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

2015, was such an active year music wise for Kylie wasn't it? Kylie Christmas obviously, but then you had that soundtrack song from earlier, Right Here, Right Now, The Other Boys and the second EP too.

 

[madgemad]

She looked fucking amazing in 2015 as well.

 

[Aester]

I didn't mind "Absolutely Anything..." that much when it was first released but after years of constantly hearing "Happy," "Can't Stop the Feeling," and other similar upbeat songs for kids' movies, I just can't stand any of them anymore.

It wouldn't be one of my rates if fuck-ups didn't happen. Your scores were counted it's just the write-ups were the last bit put together so apologies for that mistake (it won't be the last).

One more will leave in about 30 minutes!

As promised, here's a little "collection" of my (very) unpopular opinions:

Spoiler: Proceed with caution

- "Put Yourself In My Place" is the weakest song from "Kylie Minogue".
- "Where In the World" is better than "What Kind of Fool (Heard All That Before)" and "Better the Devil You Know".
- None of the singles from "Aphrodite" deserve a 10.
- "Love at First Sight" (1988) is better than "Love at First Sight" (2001).
- One bonus track from "Kiss Me Once" is better than anything else on that album.
- "Slow" isn't even in the top 5 songs from "Body Language".
- "Did It Again" is the weakest song from "Impossible Princess".

Note: There is one lie hidden in here, just to spice things up a bit.

Wow! I love an unpopular opinion but girl...those are some opinions!!

Tell Tale Signs 3.86


Highest Score: 10 x 1 @WhatKindOfKylie?
Lowest Score: 0 x 3 @SlowGinFizzzz, @KingBruno, @Ramalama


​

@Maki- 8 A standout, especially in terms of sound. She sounds very classy, and the entire song is so retro. And that 40's/50's influence in the musical arrangement is very much appreciated. It's almost like an interlude to tone things down a bit. Some quite lovely moments are present throughout the song, although I wish that the melody would grab me even more.

​

@nanafan - 6 Something different, probably inspired by The Delinquents. Nice album track
@CasperFan - 5 Lovely to hear Kylie singing a tender ballad, showing a different side to her, but a little bit dull. It does show off her voice well though.
@madgemad - 5 Not a good song, but she sounds great.
@M24 - 5 Is this her first official ballad? I quite like it. It's very movie-soundtrackish.

​

@Verandi - 4 This is not good, but at least it's a breather from the three disasters that came before it. Very Disney.
@Hudweiser - 4 The weak link on the album, which was like the only cassette we had for a roadtrip to Florida that year.
@mrdonut - 3 Camp old nonsense but you know what, I’d rather listen to this than 'Cosmic'.
@Andsov - 2 Enjoy Yourself, the album that makes no sense. Bop, sop, sop, bop.
@MrJames - 1 A tuneless chore to listen to.

Glad we're getting these out of the way already. It still baffles me that the career of the woman that gave us some of the absolute best pop songs I can think of started like... this.

 

[MilesAngel]

Tell Tale Signs got a 1 and it's my least favourite song in the rate. I hate to say it but every time Kylie sings the line 'these are the tell tale signs of our love' I cringe. It's the definition of the phrase 'tuneless dirge.'

 

[Adora Day]

I love Tell Tale Signs. Sweet little song and the first time we really heard how well she could sing.

 

[Verandi]

[Robert]

Wow. I’m actually surprised at that one going so soon. I rated it a 9 and it was one of my favourites from the album. Hopefully the other good ballads in the rate will fair better.

 

[nanafan]

There’s a lot more dross on Body Language that is worse than Tell Tale Signs

Absolutely anything and anything at all not.

 

[SlowGinFizzzz]

Body Language slander? In 2020???

 

[Maki]

Aww... this one left too early.

I gasped after seeing the mention and thought I lost a 9/10 already, only because of my comment appearing first. Still, "Tell Tale Signs" is a loss for me. The string arrangement is rather lovely, and her vocals are gorgeous. It's such a cute little ditty that didn't deserve this treatment at all.
However, the 8 I gave it is overblown, mainly because of how much of a sonic standout it is, compared to the rest of the album and how desperate I was for a toned-down song after the constant dance-pop tunes that became so tiring.

This is a great performance! Didn't know she performed it live.


"Heaven and Earth" and "No World Without You" are the PWL ballads we should be kicking out now.
