Relisten #6: Aphrodite & Kiss Me Once (TONIGHT! 01/11/20 at 7:30pm)

[Eddie]

Ooh Too Much! NOW WE ARE TALKING!!!

 

[Iguana]

Was Too Much touted as a first single?

 

[Tisch]

Too Much ABSOLUTELY SMASHES.

 

[BoysForSeles]

The opening of Too Much is always a tad startling following on from Better Than Today. Not one of my faves but I wouldn’t switch it off.

 

[AlgoAlex]

Too much - I like the erm squelchy beats

 

[COB]

Too Much is INCREDIBLE and what this album needed more of!

 

[BoysForSeles]

Too Much is INCREDIBLE and what this album needed more of!

That would have been far too exhausting (for my ears).

 

[Jark]

Too Much is good but it's very basic. That chorus needed more work. nice production from Calvin though.

Oh, Too Much is one of my least liked ones I was aware of it being liked at the time

It is sounding good today though

[COB]

I always liked this photo from the recording of Too Much:

 

[Tisch]

I think TOO MUCH has overtaken Aphrodite as my favourite non single

 

[Eddie]

TOO MUCH ABSOLUTELY BANGS!

 

[Iguana]

CUPID BOY ​

 

[Eddie]

It was getting a 09 but it’s getting a 10

 

[COB]

The Too Much/Cupid Boy double header is absolutely everything

 

[COB]

Gimme your LAAAAAAHHHHV

 

[Eddie]

Cupid Boy is piffle. It sounds like a WANNABE LIKE A DRUG but nowhere near as epic.

 

[Tisch]

Cupid Boy is not QUITE for me. I love the sky rocket to Mars line though.

[Jark]

the back third of this album is filler city innit. I think of Cupid Boy making the album over Heartstrings and I get a bit ANGRY. What a dirge. "Fire" should never be sung as a 3 syllable word.

[BoysForSeles]

I feel a bit bludgeoned by Cupid Boy especially after Too Much. I like some of the build up in parts of the verses.

 

[AlgoAlex]

CUPID BOY ​

YOUR LOVE IS KIIIING
This is utter fabulousness.
I do not think this album gets the credit it deserves

 

[Iguana]

Cupid Boy is EVERYTHING. What A BANGER

[Iguana]

I love how MESSY the bridge is

 

[Eddie]

I like her using her range on Cupid Boy. But it’s such a silly title, the lyrics are nonsensical.

There is a tenuous thematic link between Aphrodite and Cupid.

 

[COB]

I don't generally do rates in these threads but 374738 Cupid Boy just to counteract some of these negative Nellies

 

[Iguana]

Skyrocket to Mars
STRAIGHT THROUGH TO YOUR HEART
Every time we touch, I'm SHOOTING THE STARS

 

[Eddie]

Hate to sound this SHALLOW, but she's looking HER AGE here. Did she just get better Botox afterward, or is the makeup a bit harsh?

She directed the video herself.

[Berly]

I think Aphrodite might be the only Kylie album I’ve ever listened to in full.

oh and the Christmas album.

 

[Iguana]

I like her using her range on Cupid Boy. But it’s such a silly title, the lyrics are nonsensical.

Thee is a tenuous thematic link between Aphrodite and Cupid.

Who cares about the lyrics when it BANGS so HARD

 

[Eddie]

Actually maybe I was to harsh on Cupid Boy.

 

[Jark]

I think Aphrodite might be the only Kylie album I’ve ever listened to in full.

oh and the Christmas album.

what awful choices

 

[Iguana]

LOOKING FOR AN ANGEL​

 

[Eddie]

But this next one is ABSOLUTE DROSS.
