After Dark did much better than I thought. I love it but know its not to everyone's taste either.

@hawkings24 - 9 I know I'm one of the few who really loves this song but it's just so nice!
@nanafan - 8 Euphoric track. Very singalong
@mrdonut - 7.5 Yes, it’s very Florence and the Machine-lite but what a burst of sunshine, especially that post-chorus.
@Maki - 7 Very summery, catchy and nice. Gosh... how many times have I said 'nice' in the commentary for this album.
@M24 - 5 Cute album track. We're approaching filler territory but not there yet, I'd say.
@Untouchable Ace - 4.5 Needs editing.

Love is one of my favourites from Golden but I know you're all tasteless and would tank it ... that being said, One Last Kiss and Sincerely Yours should have gone before this
"After Dark" received a 6 form me, which is one of the lowest scores from "Body Language", so this is a great cut at this point.
Not a bad song, and it flows nicely, but the melody does absolutely nothing to me. The middle-8 kind of does something, although it still remains a filler-ish and a completely inessential track from that album. It just feels... empty. An underwhelming closer.
Now that @Petit nain des Îles mentioned it, I actually agree that "After Dark" has quite some acid jazz elements. Didn't notice that earlier.
I didn't expect "Love" to be among the first eliminations from "Golden". It's very cute and could've stayed a bit longer, but isn't a loss for me (and the 7 I gave it feels a bit too generous, looking back).

Good. I like or at least don't dislike most of Golden's standard tracks (+ Lost Without You, obviously), but this one is just not nice to listen to, there's something grating about it.

There are people who prefer "Love At First Sight" (1988) over "Love At First Sight" (2001)?!
"Slo Motion" should've been on the standard edition of Body Language as the album's closer.
Yes, I gave it a 7 too and feel the same way about Love. Not a bad song, but so much of Golden is stronger, it puts this in the shade in comparison.
I think they were long overdue a break!

"After Dark" is fine, but after "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" and "Come Into My World" (and "Toxic"), it's disappointing in comparison. None of Kylie's collaborations with Cathy Dennis after her Fever contributions have lived up to the standards of their initial collaboration, in my opinion.
After Dark 5.98
@Maki - 8.5 I can't help but smile when that chorus comes on. It's such a precious song.
@nanafan - 8 I like this a lot but it’s not as good as some of the tracks on the first issue of the album.
@M24 - 6 It's a cute bop! First original song I listen to from this album and I really like it. That chorus has a very pretty melody.

@P'NutButter , I wish that single artwork was real! Fab work yet again. As for At Christmas itself, being in a long distance relationship and away from my boyfriend when the festive season comes around, it does hit a note with me.
Count The Days 6.01
Highest Score: 10 x 3 @WhatKindOfKylie?, @abael, @Gnuh Gnuh
Lowest Score: 0 x 1 @KingBruno
@nanafan - 7.5 A bit of filler here. Not a bad record but lost amongst the other classics on this album.
@MrJames - 7.5 - Sort of has a Janet Jackson vibe to it?
@CasperFan - 7.5 I like the addition of non-SAW songs to the album as they give a different feel-this is cute.
@Andsov - 7 As much as I like Count the Days and Rhythm of Love, I have to admit they are weaker than the PWL-tracks.
@Maki - 6.5 I keep forgetting how this one goes, even though it's cute while I'm listening to it. The verses are very bland. Luckily, the middle-8 took me off guard and made me bump its score - it's very much needed at this point and has such a cool vibe.
@mrdonut - 6 Middling
@M24 - 3.5 This is a bit fillerish? I appreciate the sentiment in the lyrics, it's cute, but the song just drags too long with nothing too memorable.
@Holly Something - 3 Sounds like a Holiday ripoff.
