r/KylieMinogue

I ordered both Kiss Me Once and Aphrodite reissues from Amazon. Today I received KMO and I am shocked at how shitty it is. It's the flimsiest, cheapest gatefold I've ever seen and the vinyl is the same. I haven't seen vinyl this thin and flimsy outside of records from the 70's and 80's. I have nearly 500 albums and this is one of the cheapest pressings I have ever seen, especially in the current times. More than the physical disappointment, the record also sounds so flat. It has NO depth at all. I tried messing with the bass, treble, volume. Somehow it always sounds 1 dimensional, it doesn't have a full sound with good depth. I am severely disappointed and now I wonder if I should cancel my Aphrodite order in case it's the same.

Can anyone who is a serious vinyl junkie who knows what I am talking about with depth and clarity let me know what you think? I have been SO excited for these reissues and I am so bummed about this.

Also to note: I got the blue X pressing and while the packaging is also flimsy, the record is definitely more substantial and has better weight, depth, and clarity to it. If there's one I can pass up, it's KMO but I thought it would be fun to round out the collection. X and Aphrodite are super special to me. I really don't want to have the same experience with the Aphrodite re-issue.

Hi everyone!

I want to get a tattoo in honor of Fever's 25th anniversary later this year. I'm wondering if anyone has a fever-related tattoo or has any ideas for one! I tend to prefer minimalist images for tattoos, but I'd love to see any complex work people have too!

My two ideas:

- the fever microphone

- a butterfly in the sun (for the reference to the US release of Butterfly on Fever as opposed to Light Years), also potentially a nice tie-in to Fragile, which is fun because Fragile and Butterfly are my favorites on the album.

I'm surprised so many fans think Body Language is average or bad.

As someone that has only become a big fan of Kylie I personally think it's one of her best albums . I love the fact she went in other direction.

I don't think there's a bad song on the album. Even if the singles didn't stand out to me like they do to other fans I think the album is golden (no pun intended)

My favourite album is Impossible Princess but I think this album might be just as experimental and daring.

Top 3 personal tracks

Loving Days - such a beautiful haunting song. Its like Madonna's Ray of Light but a little bit more electronic and pop.

Promises- it's such a catchy sexy song. Yes it does sound manufactured and cheesy but maybe that's the point.

Someday - This is probably my favourite track. It's the one song that hardly any fans really love. It's French electronic meets English pop. I think it's possibly Kylie's most underrated track .

This Xenomania production is perfect for late summer and feels like it’s been forgotten. I rarely see it come up in discussions of her b-sides. It’s not even streaming on Spotify Japan. I have such a fond memory of picking up Aphrodite in Tower Records Tokyo summer 2010 just to have this song. Has always felt like a spiritual sister to Made of Glass.

• X at 26
• Light Years at 87
• Aphrodite at 95

This must be due to the reissues but combined with the Love Sensation remix at 8 on the singles chart, this is more Kylie chart activity than we've all seen in a long time!

I just discovered Red Blooded Woman and I Believe in You couple of days ago and both are so catchy. IBIY has that 2k nostalgia sound and RBW is a bop on its own. It’s the second song from that album i have discovered after Slow which i love too.

Hello, all! I've been listening to Kylie for about 6-7 years now on and off; I've listened to Aphrodite, Disco, X and Tension and some of the hits.

I was wondering if Kylie at some point used to make "deeper" music? Don't get me wrong, I love fun and I love dance music, I love these albums, but it feels for most of these albums the topics are largely the same; dancing, getting away from a boyfriend, or loving a guy lol.

I especially enjoy tho No More Rain, Stars, and Story, because lyrically they're a little different. So does Kylie have any albums that are more introspective or have a more political tone?
