Fine = Kiss Me Once > The rest > Beautiful

Only Beautiful sucks but nothing really stood out except Fine and Kiss Me Once, and even those are just ~g o o d~.

Let me skip them all. Such a boring, overrated artist - even Smellie Ghoulish and her chipmunk coos inspire more kinetic activity from my supple buttocks.

Poor you. Evidently you once supple buttocks have been so overworked they can no longer sense when something good is in proximity.

i'm open to suggestions!

[edit] although considering the length of time that y'all were merciless on bey in a way that i haven't even approached...

I suppose we won't move on till a new big girl releases and flops. Shakira is coming in a few weeks, doubt she'll have much success in the US, but at least she'll have WW numbers (maybe). Though Shaki isn't really considered a big pop girl round here.

This is the most sonically uninteresting album that Kylie has made. And it's meant to help her break into the US market? This is definitely not going to do it.

Skirt and Sparks alone are better than most of Kiss Me Once. It's really disappointing, actually. She needs to work with Price and Harris again :(

The chimey serial killer noises on Les Sex though >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

EDIT: If you want to feel better about yourself then watch this.

These MIT Researchers Want to Turn GIFs Into a Language

Since launching on March 3, the site has drawn an average of 15,000 users a day who vote around 10 times per visit. “The average time is increasing already,” Hu said, “so we’re pretty optimistic for the future.” Their first goal is to build a text-to-GIF translator. “I want people to be able to put in a Shakespearian sonnet and get out a GIF set,” Hu said. But once they’ve gotten qualitative metrics for a large number of GIFs, they think the possibilities are pretty endless. “You could reverse-engineer it and use a GIF to find a movie that fits a certain mood,” Rich said.

The two are also interested in the sociological aspect of emotional GIF analysis. “We’re already seeing that votes vary across different cultures,” Rich said, “and looking at which GIFs are the most volatile—which ones have votes change the most based on country—could help us understand how emotions are interpreted across the world.”

How amusing. I wonder if my perceptions of gifs are the same as other peoples'.

It usually takes me dozens of listens, and months of prayer and fasting to discern the true nature of a Kylie album's divinity, but I can say this:

"Kiss Me Once" is definitely Kylie's Hard Candy in the sense that it's a solid, standard pop album that won't be as well-received as it should be because of the caliber of the artist that made it. Once you get to Madonna/Kylie levels of musical celebrity, the expectation is that every musical outing will be something highly conceptual and irreverent of current trends. "Kiss Me Once" isn't this. It's good, it's catchy, it's chock full of bops (it's even a more immediately "listenable" album to me than Aphrodite was, initially), but it's very "of its time."

I said about Hard Candy long ago that if that album had been recorded by some up-and-comer in the Pop game, it would have been praised. The album really is great in its own standard way. But it's Madonna; the expectation is much higher. ESPECIALLY after Confessions. I see this being the case with Kiss Me Once, as well.

Kiss Me Once doesn't rock the boat, it doesn't really show a new side to Kylie, and it won't displace any of my top 3 Kylie albums. But still, it is polished and good pop confection, which makes it better than most of the drivel your faves will release this year.

Ew. Why is she coming out with this dark metallic color when it's about to be Spring time? It's time to get fresh and flirty, gurl.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.

Kiss Me Once is a pleasant diversion and that's it. I expected much more out of something that's supposedly executive-produced by Sia (Sparks pretty much proved that someone else should have handpicked the album tracks, it was definitely good enough for the standard edition).

I have to give it to Kylie, though, no one else can make songs about sex sound so classy.

The rest of it is trash a bit. But lordT, those four tracks truly obliterate.

Strangely enough, the song I've had on repeat the most in these early listens is "I Was Gonna Cancel." Such a fun disco bop.

I've really been enjoying Pharell's recent production (for other people).

Why is she playing the Skyline stage instead of the main stage at Mann... it doesn't make sense. It's basically a permanent smaller festival-style setup, and it's not like the main stage isn't intimate enough for her.
 
Girls I am wrecked from this weekend. SXSW is a hot ass MESS.

In other news, Andy Cohen is a sloppy drunk. And he stepped on my good boots.
