Relisten #1: 'Kylie' and 'Enjoy Yourself' - 16/10/20 19:00

[Pingu]

I never ever need to hear those first two tracks again but they are kind of making me miss the RVT of a Friday evening.

 

[Pingu]

Anyway is this debut album going to be cheap as chips? All the good SAW songs (that I already know) seem to be housed elsewhere.

 

[Eddie]

If you want to take part properly you might as well give them a full spin. They aren’t long albums.

I am! You can keep an eye on the time stamps of my posts if you want.

 

[SDF]

It’s No Secret is not bad

also here for the misheard lyrics of “you shitted my dreams”

 

[Pingu]

08 I Should Be So Lucky
07 Locomotion
05 Je ne sais pas porquoi (I don’t remember this one being as WET)
07 It’s no secret

 

[Eddie]

There are some album track BOPS on both albums so go for it.

God if you weren’t hanging out with tories at your local sauna you could have participated live

Oh I love the backing track to Turn It Into Love

07 Locomotion
05 Je Ne Sais Pas Porquoi
07 It’s No Secret
06 Got To Be Certain
07 Turn It Into Love (was only previously familiar with the Same Difference version of this. This is quite SHRILL...)

[SDF]

Yes, I hate the way her voice is made to sound of some of these songs

 

[GinAg (39)]

7 for Turn Into Love?

 

[Pingu]

Yes, I hate the way her voice is made to sound of some of these songs

I mean, isn’t that just her voice back then?

 

[Eddie]

Wow @ the indifference to Turn It Into Love.

 

[Eddie]

I mean, isn’t that just her voice back then?

This.

 

[SDF]

It’s not nice.

The Casio keyboard solo in Look My Way is straight out of a Whoopi Goldberg movie

07 I Should Be So Lucky

07 It’s No Secret
08 Got To Be Certain

04 Look My Way

 

[Pingu]

Does Look My Way sample something / was it used as a sample in something?

I’m fairly sure I haven’t heard it before but the synth line in the chorus is so familiar.

 

[SDF]

Love At First Sight was certainly upgraded years later

 

[Pingu]

08 I Should Be So Lucky

07 It’s No Secret
06 Got To Be Certain

05 I Miss You
05 I’ll Still Be Loving You
06 Look My Way
06 Love At First Sight

OK this was pretty unremarkable, lightweight and cheap but I was pretty prepared for that. Clearly slap bang in the middle of SAW’s godawful phase of being obsessed with those shit fake trumpet sounds.

I Should Be So Lucky the highlight, It’s No Secret the fun new discovery, and Turn It Into Love would have been scored so much higher if I didn’t find her vocal so offputting on it.

 

[SDF]

Not sure I agree with those highlights but agree that there was a lot of filler.

On to Enjoy Yourself

 

[SDF]

10 Hand On Your Heart

This already feels like such an upgrade on the first album

 

[Pingu]

This is MUCH more like it.

 

[SDF]

God we really are hitting some Kylie classics on this one

 

[SDF]

10 Hand On Your Heart
09 Wouldn’t Change A Thing

 

[SDF]

I always forget how much I like Never Too slate

 

[Pingu]

10 Hand On Your Heart
08 Wouldn’t Change A Thing
09 Never Too Late

A much meatier offering this time around so far. Going in blind to the rest of the album from this point. I hope it manages to keep up the momentum...

There are a couple of bops left I guess.

How would you rank the first four albums?
