Say Something vs You Still Get Me High
Last Chance vs Hands
I Love It vs Green Light
Where Does the DJ Go? vs Vegas High
Dancefloor Darling vs 10 Out of 10
Unstoppable vs Story
Celebrate You vs Love Train

Till You Love Somebody vs Just Imagine
Fine Wine vs Somebody To Love
Hey Lonely vs Heavenly Body
Spotlight vs Drum

Tension.

Disco isn't even disco.

 

[Eddie]

Magic vs Padam Padam
Miss a Thing vs Hold Onto Now
Real Groove vs Things We Do For Love TIE
Monday Blues vs Tension
Supernova vs One More Time
Say Something vs You Still Get Me High (OUCH)
Last Chance vs Hands
I Love It vs Green Light
Where Does the DJ Go? vs Vegas High
Dancefloor Darling vs 10 Out of 10
Unstoppable vs Story
Celebrate You vs Love Train

Till You Love Somebody vs Just Imagine
Fine Wine vs Somebody To Love
Hey Lonely vs Heavenly Body
Spotlight vs Drum

Fairly even stevens to me. Can't decide between the two track 3s.

 

[Jark]

I think it's a tie. maybe Tension edges it... definitely less outright rubbish than Disco, and feels a bit less cheap. but it still feels cheap and hasn't held up at all, and my combined top 3 is probably all from Disco.

Have you not heard the last two? I forget but I think they've been officially released now.

Nope. Not gotten around to them. Which says something if you think about it...

 

[Jark]

a properly mastered Heavenly Body would be quite tits. very much in the Tension mold but a bit more clubby.

Is that quite TITS or quite CUNT?

WE NEED TO KNOW

Both 6. I think I prefer listening to Disco though, I don't know if that's because it was lockdown and the experience of first listening to it, and then being mildly disappointed the first few times I listened to Tension. I think I was expecting too much from Tension after Padam. Hmm not sure.

Initially I voted Disco but I surprised myself filling this out.

5 to 11

Tension is miles better. Say Something and Real Groove are the only two songs I kept from Disco (but they are utterly incredible). Padam is iconic; I am obsessed with the extended mix of Story; Hold Onto Now, Vegas High and Somebody to Love are late-career highs.

My keepers from Disco are:

Miss A Thing
Real Groove
Say Something
I Love It
Dancefloor Darling
Till You Love Somebody

and possibly Magic if I'm in the mood.

I genuinely adore all of the above

 

[POP!]

I will do later (I need to give Tension another listen), but I think I prefer the highs of Disco (Say Something, Dance Floor Darling, Magic, Till You Love Somebody...)

I don’t know the last two from Tension! It’s dead even apparently, but like I said, I prefer Disco overall.

 

[tommie]

Disco, easily.

It's just the more coherent album.

It doesn't mean Tension is a bad album, in fact, it's the album Kylie needs at this point, but it's also more of a playlist rather and a bit of a return to the Parlophone days of "check a song off" rather than choosing the best song. IE We want a "Melancholic Kylie Song" on the album, so "Hold On To Now" can't co-exist with "Someone To Love", despite both being good songs. And then there's the quirky song like Hands versus Love Train and so on...

 

[Tisch]

Was just about to start this exact thread and there's one right here from this year no less! Seems apt with certain discussions going on tonight:


Magic vs Padam Padam
Miss a Thing vs Hold Onto Now
Real Groove vs Things We Do For Love
Monday Blues vs Tension
Supernova vs One More Time
Say Something vs You Still Get Me High
Last Chance vs Hands
I Love It vs Green Light
Where Does the DJ Go? vs Vegas High
Dancefloor Darling vs 10 Out of 10
Unstoppable vs Story
Celebrate You vs Love Train

Till You Love Somebody vs Just Imagine
Fine Wine vs Somebody To Love
??? Hey Lonely vs Heavenly Body
??? Spotlight vs Drum

But overall I would certainly chose to listen to Disco as a complete piece.
