Hmm...maybe not a classic, but no dud. I mean, when it comes to vertically challenged Australians, better her than those Silverchair rugrats. Although maybe they're tall now.

She's definitely too small though.

Here's a question: a lot of people I know who classify themselves as pop fans don't particularly care for Kylie, while a lot of indie fans I know overrate her. Did her Nick Cave/Manics collabs ruin her for the pop set with her annoying "realness"?
Next up has got to the Traci Lords: Classic or Dud, except I fear I'm the only person round here with her album ;)

On the attractiveness front: I've always found her terribly UNattractive, actually. I never understood that. I like her for her music and NOWT ELSE. She just looks a bit...I don't know, nostrilly and she's very, very tiny.

Years ago she did not have big lips. Her right eyebrow did not touch her hairline like it does now, it was actually lower than the left one if you look at pics! Her boobs miraculously grew when she was seeing Micheal Hutchence, and her bum doesn't have a crease on it!!! Every bum has creases when you stand up. I dont rate her music either. I agree Better than the Devil you Know was OK, but her recent efforts such as at the Brit awards when she had her ar*e hanging out again, she wanted to be 'cool' by mixing her song with Blue Monday. SOoooo wasn't good.
She is an overrated, plastic, old tart who wants to get some clothes on and give women dignity, not make them look like they are gagging for it. Hopefully she'll go BACK out of fashion, AND SOON!!!!!!!

Both of their music style's is of course not their own, but Britney has this 'thing' about her that makes you want to watch her. She does actually look like what she does in the photos. And when people go on and on, criticising her about wearing skimpy stuff - we have to remember she is only 20 and has to entertain. However, Kylie is nearly 34 and is still prancing around like an old slut with her plastic, pinned up arse and nobody says a word!!! When are the papers gonna see sense and slate her for the old tart she is!!! She is revelling in all of this attention she is getting, and its about time it stopped! OK, Spears is rumoured to have had a boob-job (and propbably has), but when do you see them hanging out of her top, like the goofy- toothed dwarfs??? Those pics from her Fever tour are ridiculous. Her boobs are pushed up sooooooo much, you can see the plastic popping out of the flesh!!! And have you noticed that there's not a smile from the pop- pixie? She is just looking down on herself, revelling in her plasticness. I dont know, I think the country has been brainwashed. It was that song 'Cant get you out of my head' that done it. It must have had some kind of subliminal message saying "MEN: You will all adore Kylie - she is the perfect image of woman; and WOMEN: You will all not care that your men fantasise about Kylie every night in her hotpants, you must love her and want to be her".
Well, I think I must have been one of the few that escaped her propaganda tactics!
Is there anybody else out there??????????????????

i'm telling you, infinite disco is a *killer* album. think the disco extended mixes album might edge out the original slightly, though i still stick w/listening to the OG release since that's the one i physically possess.
― omar little, Thursday, 18 May 2023 17:40 (one year ago) link
The only tracks that I've had any genuine affection for on each Kylie album since Aphrodite have been their respective lead singles. "Say Something" in particular I just adored; I distinctly remember being brought to tears all of a sudden when watching the Infinite Disco version, which may have in part been a side effect of lockdown-induced mania.
This one feels slightly undercooked (I would like another rehash of the chorus at the end) and all in all is giving me Rita Ora x Imanbek or a lost Inna single. But the sound seems TikTok-friendly to me, so it wouldn't surprise me if it does end up doing something in the charts in the UK at least.
― monotony, Friday, 19 May 2023 01:25 (one year ago) link
feels like it could use an extended mix or another section besides the verse/chorus—2:45 is too short, and that does give it a kind of undercooked feel.
― Michael F Gill, Friday, 19 May 2023 01:41 (one year ago) link
i agree it's a little undercooked. the vocal production is also just odd - beyond whatever manipulation is going on it just sits in a weird place in the mix?
i still really like "dance floor darling" from disco
― ufo, Friday, 19 May 2023 01:47 (one year ago) link
yeah I think the vocal production doesn’t let her personality/warmth seep through as much as it could, it’s a bit cold and robotic/robo-tuned. but i could live with it if there was a middle 8 or if the outro was extended into a longer instrumental section.

As with Padam Padam I can't help but feel this it's quite anonymous. But I don't really mind it.
(Also, as with PP, I can hear the perfect moment for a cool fade-out but then no one does something as playlist-unfriendly as that anymore.)

this isn’t as immediate as Padam Padam was, but feels like it might grow on me (whereas I tired of PP pretty quickly). either way, it’s great - her consistency is incredible
― Roz, Thursday, 31 August 2023 17:23 (nine months ago) link
the last one grew on me a lot, though i did like it on first pass. the extended mixes album and Infinite Disco might be the best incarnations of those tracks however. Padam Padam is another which sounds a bit better over time. this one really sounds to me like another possible hit, though who knows?
― omar little, Thursday, 31 August 2023 17:24 (nine months ago) link
Among the reasons I admittedly like this is that it sounds like something that won't be a hit circa 2023

I think this one is fantastic (most of the joy of "Padam" to me was in seeing it resonate beyond Kylie's core 2023 audience), but from what I hear, most of the album won't necessarily follow the same icy electro path as these singles. Still very excited for it though.

The singles were a bit misleading for the album, but I'm really enjoying it. Vegas High, Story and especially Hold On To Now are my immediate favourites. I slightly prefer it to Disco. Feel like I'm into that album much more than most people on here though.

misremembered the title as Pressure since she is holding a diamond on the cover - last minute change do you think?
― assert (matttkkkk), Monday, 25 September 2023 04:40 (nine months ago) link
the album is cute, but yes the singles are the best songs on it. I like "One More Time" which feels like a Future Nostalgia leftover and "Hold On To Now" is that big sweeping electropop that she does so well (although admittedly when I hear it I do compulsively just want to put on Robyn's "Honey" instead)
― monotony, Monday, 25 September 2023 07:15 (nine months ago) link
yeah agree with that, a lot of this feels like Kylie by-the-numbers to me though it's a very breezy and enjoyable listen.
Apart from the singles, my favourite track is "Hands" - the rapped verses are just on the right side of silly, and the chorus is lovely
― Roz, Monday, 25 September 2023 08:42 (nine months ago) link
Quite taken with 'Hold On To Now' but never got round to checking out the previous two albums.
― nashwan, Monday, 25 September 2023 09:00 (nine months ago) link
title track is one of my fave Kylie tracks ever at this point, just sublime stuff imo. the rest of the album is less unpredictable, but still stellar. i imagine this is going to be her biggest US album since Fever, riding the Padam Padam wave, and bolstered by the Vegas residency.
