[00:00:39] the Nonstop Pop Show. But yeah let's hop right into this. We've talked about Kylie a couple times on our show.
[00:00:45] We've got drag because we didn't like the Badom video. We've had her music director for a lot of her tours Steve
[00:00:52] Anderson on our show. So he's a friend of the show. So we're kind of like Kylie Minogue like
[00:00:57] not experts but like we're almost there. We're supposed to be experts.
[00:01:01] Oh the fans are going to come for us now because we're far from experts for sure.
[00:01:05] We do need to. I would love to go through her like 80s albums though. Like go all the way back.
[00:01:11] Yeah. That needs to happen.
[00:01:12] Yes.
[00:01:12] Yeah for decades you know it's nice to kind of have her still making music and uh killing it
[00:01:18] because it's not that. That's my biggest fear is like if they keep releasing music you're like
[00:01:21] baby hang it up. Hang it up. But she doesn't have to and she shouldn't. Um but yeah so y'all
[00:01:26] last week well by the time we were filming it's October 22nd but last week was tension tour week.
[00:01:31] Tension two week excuse me. We had ticket sales a week prior and then all of a sudden it's like
[00:01:36] album release party and album listening party and signings and oh my gosh. So there was a serious
[00:01:42] XM listening party that I got tickets for. Chris went to see her at Kelly Clarkson show and then
[00:01:48] he went to the signing and then we both got invited hello to the album release party where she
[00:01:54] danced with us. Oh there it is. Hello. Take a look. I have a signature too. I snuck a signature
[00:01:59] on my guest pass. Hang on. Let's go. Let's hang on. Can you see it? I told her that I made a mistake of
[00:02:06] not knowing her for my whole life and she goes oh well welcome. Um so I was like thank you.
[00:02:12] Let's talk about your experience first because it happened first. Yeah. Well first off actually before that we
[00:02:18] was both seeing her at MSG. I'm also seeing her a couple other times but yes I'm very very excited
[00:02:25] for that. But yes you you won the opportunity to go to the serious XM listening party which was the
[00:02:31] Wednesday before the release. Yes. How was it? It was great. Um so they had us go inside the
[00:02:37] serious XM studios and we sat down at first the interview is just one of those like we're watching
[00:02:41] like a studio audience while they're filming their episode and then we got to go inside they played some
[00:02:46] music by Kylie um and then she finally entered and she played the first about five to six tracks
[00:02:52] excluding light camera action so from track two to about track seven she played um it was interesting
[00:02:58] because I was expecting her to her or the interviewer to kind of go a little bit more in
[00:03:02] depth with the tracks but they did it not so much you got to give a little tidbits here and there that
[00:03:06] I'll talk about as we discuss the song but it was so cool to see her up close because I got to know her
[00:03:11] a little bit more through you. American Idol the video game introduced me to spinning around
[00:03:15] can't get you out of my head played at Ikea when I was a kid and I was like I like this song but it's
[00:03:19] never like I knew who she was until you were like let's watch something so from 2020 to now I've been
[00:03:25] like oh god Kylie oh yeah oh wow wow wow and now that she's like really getting very North American like
[00:03:32] presence and and like focus it's more exciting because I'm like I can actually be a part of it and
[00:03:36] to actually see her I was like oh my god she's so yeah because I missed her at the freaking um wine
[00:03:43] signing rather late whatever rather late but it's nice to actually kind of um experience all of her
[00:03:50] at once um because she's still making yes exactly and she's still making music so it's like holy crap
[00:03:58] what what an honor it's like with the girls allowed thing I was like Christine I have a tour right you
[00:04:01] like nah I don't think so and then like years later it happened I'm like well you saw me at the
[00:04:06] concert gagged so that's what it's been like this whole week I was screaming at at the release party
[00:04:11] too so but yeah how was um Casey how was the signing and how was it because I know a lot for you
[00:04:16] so Kelly Clarkson's show shout out to Jasmine uh one of the producers who has been on our show as well
[00:04:23] uh who who kind of gave me a heads up a few months ago that Kylie was gonna be on this show
[00:04:28] uh so yeah it was really really fun their interview is super cute um one of the crew members spilled wine
[00:04:35] Kylie wine kind of everywhere and it turned into a really funny moment uh but you know they're two of
[00:04:40] my absolute favorites so just to see them together is very very cool yeah then yes I somehow managed to
[00:04:46] get into that rough trade signing which sold out in like literally a minute crazy it was absolutely
[00:04:52] crazy um but yeah it definitely went super quick like they were really shuffling people through
[00:05:00] um but while I was in line I found out that I had won the opportunity to go to the album release party
[00:05:07] that night and I texted you yeah um and so I pretty much just said that to her I was basically just like
[00:05:13] congratulations on the album right I'm such a huge fan I've seen you live so many times and I literally
[00:05:18] just found out that I won tickets to your party tonight um and she you know gave me a very like coy face
[00:05:25] um and then yeah it was like sent me off with like a see you tonight which was cool yeah and then and
[00:05:30] then that night we got to go to the album release party yes before we were at your pool yes so we put
[00:05:37] up a reel uh or tick tock or whatever you're your follow us on um of our experience there but it was
[00:05:44] definitely there were a few other super fans there um who were who were having fun as well and we kind
[00:05:51] of all kind of got prime spots at the front but most of the people there definitely were her team
[00:05:57] and industry yeah so it was quite a calm atmosphere and we just kind of took over
[00:06:04] we kind of did and it was just it was like that that tick tock sound like why am I the only one
[00:06:08] popping my cookies right now like that's what it was giving um but it worked out for us because we
[00:06:12] danced ourselves right in front of her yes and she gave us so much attention she gave us so much
[00:06:18] attention like we you know you did the little diamonds dance and she joined in if you were
[00:06:24] like body rolling as she was singing slow acapella and she joined in with us yes she took my sunglasses
[00:06:30] christened your sunglasses yes listen listen if she says that you know she wants to wear my glasses i'm
[00:06:37] gonna be a pop princess it's already written in the stars it's done give me time y'all y'all get my
[00:06:42] album release party and y'all be reviewing my album um okay but it was a good night it was nice to see
[00:06:47] you're nice to hear the songs um yes it seems like it's really exhausting to kind of be doing the
[00:06:52] press runs oh yeah but she she maintains her energy in such a way that i was like oh smart smart smart
[00:06:58] it's not like oh my god hi it's like hello how are you you know so yeah i feel like tension two week was
[00:07:05] very entertaining very fun exciting um i'm waiting for my picture but i digress yes if it's here we'll put
[00:07:13] a lot of people here but if not look out on socials yeah yeah but we're very very lucky we got
[00:07:19] a lot of experiences that fans would kill for exactly that was insane how close we were how much
[00:07:25] experience we got and i've never gotten to listen to an album like right when it was released literally
[00:07:32] with the artist yeah and i don't think kylie even planned to basically sing the entire thing either
[00:07:39] but she ended up basically singing along to almost the entire thing as well which is insane that we
[00:07:45] got to experience that um especially because i doubt a lot of these songs will make it onto the tour set
[00:07:50] list right because yeah yeah it's cool um to have that and i did my best to not let that uh affect
[00:07:58] my opinions on these songs that's valid yeah now i have like memories of her staring at me through
[00:08:06] almost all of them or singing to me you know that's valid no that's super valid well you know
[00:08:13] i think i did a good job of staying unbiased i think so too okay yeah that's that painting you
[00:08:18] you know um but yes as you guys have already or maybe didn't know we've already did the tension
[00:08:23] the original tension album review about a year ago when it was released so definitely check that out
[00:08:28] um and um so just kind of get into this album itself while kylie was finding songs for the repackage
[00:08:34] or the deluxe deluxe version of the tension album uh she explained that her recent success opened the
[00:08:39] door to studio times with new writers and producers so instead of the normal repackage with a couple of
[00:08:44] new songs she decided to give us a whole sequel album all right and now we will go track by track to
[00:08:51] discuss the production vocals lyrics and give our ratings for each song feel free to join along don't get
[00:08:57] nasty just defend your song and tell us what score you want to give it or you do get nasty it's fine um
[00:09:02] yeah be a be a lover lovers okay arise let's get into it tension two starting with track one we have
[00:09:10] lights camera action which was done by kylie minogue ina roldson and lewis thompson and this was released
[00:09:17] as the lead single from the album yes oh my goodness what an interesting song i remember listening to it
[00:09:24] i think about two weeks ago or something you told me it's out and i was like oh that is it so we were
[00:09:28] watching i think we put it for like a reaction didn't we we did our patreon yes we have a patreon
[00:09:32] exclusive reaction i don't remember exactly what i said um so i hope i'm not repeating myself too too
[00:09:38] much but i think this is a good song to start the album with it sets the tone for part two of this
[00:09:42] era it's bold and it's confident um i like that it feels really effortless and fun and it's very
[00:09:47] fabulous right so she could have done a couple of things to sing about love or breakup but it was like
[00:09:52] no let's have fun i mean the singles that she has been releasing up until this point have been
[00:09:56] that's it's the singles she's been releasing have been a little bit more fun which i appreciate
[00:10:01] um but like i think it's important so important for her um at her age with her legacy to just strut
[00:10:07] her stuff and not be so romantic and so love leaning all of the time like she sounds cold and robotic it
[00:10:15] feels futuristic and distant like relatability is not the goal here but she says she's stunned she's
[00:10:21] looking stunning in her armors by goatee that is so unreliable so unrelatable but it's a badass line
[00:10:28] to have in a song because it's like i'm wearing something that no one else can afford this is very
[00:10:31] like it's a custom made kind of thing um the glitz and glam of everything is great and i think the
[00:10:36] lights camera action that's it is a great catchphrase um the song just feels like it was made for the
[00:10:41] runway it feels like it's just it's just fun it takes her voice really high and then the music kind of
[00:10:48] does like an interesting countdown so it definitely has all the ebbs and flows i would want in a pop
[00:10:52] song and a runway song and a dance song like i want to teach and warm up to this like there's so much
[00:10:57] you can do with it um but it's super simple as well it's like something about it is minimalist
[00:11:00] but also maximalist it's like a nice combination of the both i think the lyrics being so like
[00:11:06] i'm rich bitch and then like the production kind of being like not chill but like kind of edgy
[00:11:13] if you lack of a better word but kind of cold and runway fashion i'm like interesting interesting
[00:11:19] interesting i like this one yeah i don't think kylie has a lot of songs that are that kind of
[00:11:26] confident i'm that type of stuff but she's definitely at a point in her career where she can do that
[00:11:32] i think it's just not really in her nature because she's quite like humble i think yeah right
[00:11:36] right that's not it but uh but yeah i think it totally works it's super super fun
[00:11:40] um i'm glad she didn't release one of the more padam padam kind of derivatives that are on this
[00:11:46] album as the single like at least they did something that was a bit different uh still feel a little
[00:11:52] safe in a sense because it's you know kind of typical of kind of a lot of the dance pop that's out there
[00:11:57] now and i think she mentioned in interviews that they felt the lights camera action that's it
[00:12:03] kind of hook could hopefully lead to some content creation you know so i think that's in their mind
[00:12:10] for sure uh but i totally like it there is a lot of dimension in it i think the baseline is great super
[00:12:17] strong there's a lot of energy behind it uh and you know speaking of tension there is a lot of tension
[00:12:23] in the verses right like even in the way it's written it's kind of like oh like where are you going with
[00:12:29] this and you can really feel the build and then that drop is quite satisfying like this will be
[00:12:34] super good on tour like i could see this opening the show yes right uh it's not crazy or or like the
[00:12:41] encore or something if she goes with tension as the opener maybe but um yeah so i i think of it more
[00:12:47] good for that uh it's kind of just harmless dance pop fun like it's definitely not up there as one of her
[00:12:54] best singles but you know for this moment i think it's it's fun it's suitable yeah totally so let's
[00:13:02] get into that music video the music video is definitely i want to say it's on the nose like
[00:13:07] lights camera action yes it takes it a step further beyond just that model for lack of a better term
[00:13:11] model behavior there's explosions there's drama there's her being very it's giving um uh what's the
[00:13:19] jesse wearer song from the guest list um oh kiss of life kiss of life yes that whole campiness of the
[00:13:24] dramatic acting in the what but she's by herself so she has no one to play off of except her own care
[00:13:30] charisma right so i just loved how chic she looked but then you have all this chaos the tracking shots
[00:13:37] are made there's a lot of action with the camera work that makes it dynamic um you know like if you
[00:13:44] look up if you think of even the thumbnail for the video is so chaotic but she's wearing if i'm not
[00:13:48] mistaking not goatee but she's wearing a dress not touching gabbana but it's freaking designer i know
[00:13:54] what's design because it looks like alia's dress from on the vmas i cannot remember valentino
[00:13:57] oh girl oh i'm not a fashion girl let me real with y'all but the point is she's serving looks
[00:14:02] and the fact that i'm curious about it the fact that i'm like oh my god like wait what is she
[00:14:07] wearing who are you wearing who are you wearing that's the the chaos that i'm getting right from
[00:14:11] this the flat the strobe lights she's on the the the black sugar cube i was like oh my gosh like to be
[00:14:19] as what's word for it i'm gonna say that's the oldest she's but to be in the game for so long and
[00:14:23] still be able to serve looks like she she oh my gosh she's so sexy it was very sexy this is this
[00:14:30] is the video hot-blooded woman should have got um red-blooded woman oh red-blooded excuse me
[00:14:36] i'm totally teasing but she just looks really sexy and she's not trying too hard and i think
[00:14:39] that's what i like her the eye makeup i think smoky eye on her with those blue eyes god jesus it just
[00:14:45] felt like freaking um victoria's secret but the cat's out of the bag with her so kylie's truth
[00:14:53] did you like the video how'd you feel about it i loved the video first i love the beginning because
[00:14:57] she's also kind of teasing the tour with her like pointing at them out yeah yeah uh yeah her walking
[00:15:02] through the train track is a pretty amazing shot yeah for sure that's definitely my favorite one uh
[00:15:09] so yeah super iconic listen go on sister so what do you rate the first track of the album okay i will
[00:15:19] go with an eight how about you babe i want to go with the eight yes oh my gosh it makes it so hard
[00:15:25] because like this is an eight what's a nine or a ten on this album well it's tough because also like
[00:15:31] i'm kind of including it with tension oh so to me you know the track tension is a ten right
[00:15:39] that's kind of like the standard and then there were some other songs on that album that i believe
[00:15:43] i also gave a 10 in my older view that i still agree with so how do these songs match up to that
[00:15:48] is kind of how i'm going damn oh it's so tough oh i was kind of just i was going to try to treat it
[00:15:54] like separately because i was just like i know tension was giving more 80s than disco giving 70s so this
[00:16:00] one was giving more like futuristic maybe like 20 20 20 20 2000s club ish vibes um any whoodle
[00:16:09] diddle we're just gonna move right on because oh it's gonna be tough y'all and the next one is
[00:16:15] taboo and it's done by uh you know worldson worldson and of sin you know worldson and steve mac
[00:16:24] oh okay still a struggle yeah listen there's two consonants next to each other my friend oh
[00:16:31] i'm struggling so i miss ina you write great music i just can't read yeah we've said your name quite
[00:16:37] a lot both of you yes yes congrats to them wait were they were they a lot on the tension were they
[00:16:43] really like featured a lot on tension at all no over ina was you know right yeah but steve mac did a lot of
[00:16:49] like the westlife stuff saturdays yes okay uh yeah done a lot of good british pop yeah right guy yes
[00:16:55] okay speaking of the saturdays we did a review of their album so definitely check that out um all
[00:17:00] fired up you love that all right so this one is interesting because i remember first hearing it and
[00:17:04] i was like oh abba but like dangerous abba you know it's like it's like yeah a lot of comparisons
[00:17:12] have actually been to madonna's hung up i mean exactly i mean yeah example yeah which is that kind
[00:17:18] of dangerous abba almost right yeah yeah so yeah i mean i think for me this one is interesting because
[00:17:25] she understands as an artist how to perform a song right even at the release party and in the
[00:17:34] listening party she acts for us she actually gave us the lines of the song almost like a pastor you know
[00:17:39] the pastor goes i'm right with god you know i'm right with god like that's what he was doing
[00:17:43] that's what she was doing at the event she'd give us the lines so we can sing along with it and then
[00:17:49] when the under talk came she gave us the rhythm of it right and she was directing us with the
[00:17:55] and her hands would go up like she'd tell us what it is before it came around so she has a good sense
[00:18:00] or the songwriters have a very good sense of what could catch on with the audiences the the taboo
[00:18:07] do do do do that part right there is very catchy um i love the french counting before the chorus
[00:18:13] in fact that like it makes everything swell even more so when she does go taboo it's like you finally
[00:18:18] got that kiss that that person that like the person you're supposed to take stay away from because you
[00:18:23] know they're about their tattoos but you were checking them out all night oh yeah yeah i will say um
[00:18:27] where's my bridge where's my bridge hello i say that with most of this album it's very short these songs
[00:18:34] yeah it kind of annoyed me a little bit because i'm like this songs like this deserve a bridge
[00:18:39] it deserve a dance breakdown even if she's not singing even if you just fly over the vocals and
[00:18:43] kind of chop them up some way it deserves a dance breakdown at least um but i guess we'll just have
[00:18:49] to wait till the tour but i mean it just comes and it goes so i was like okay okay all right i don't
[00:18:56] hate you but i just wish you had more you know so if it's okay but the other parts that i highlighted
[00:19:03] were the ones that kind of like saved it from drowning for me not drowning but maybe like
[00:19:07] getting pushed in the water it's kind of just like at the edge from your one girl where's the rest of
[00:19:11] it not her fault but you know i kind of was like i want more i agree with that yeah honestly i could
[00:19:17] probably say for almost this entire album there's like one or two songs that have at least an outro
[00:19:21] that's kind of like a bridge they just didn't do the final chorus but this one yeah doesn't have that
[00:19:25] at all uh yeah um i enjoy the production of it you know it has like you said the abba-esque string thing
[00:19:33] there's the disco-y elements uh and kylie has been mentioning in a lot of her interviews that this
[00:19:38] album feels like she's in her killing eve kind of phase like her like spy vixen
[00:19:45] situation and that makes sense with this song and a lot of them so i kind of love that i love that
[00:19:50] actually as a visual as well for the tour yeah um i would love that for her she's very sly and slick
[00:19:55] yes um i think the hook is super fun you know with the under uh and it's all just very like
[00:20:03] siren-esque which we say that a lot about her voice i feel like a lot of people do
[00:20:07] yeah but she sounds like what a siren would sound like yes he's leaning yeah this one this one's fun
[00:20:13] she did i tease as well at our listening party that she she was like okay you guys are ready for the
[00:20:19] tour now so i could see this making the set list potentially oh yeah but yeah it's super fun to sing
[00:20:24] along to um and of course she does sound great like it's relaxed and it conveys kind of a seduction
[00:20:31] but also like a nonchalantness as well yeah uh which which really works with these lyrics i think it's
[00:20:39] a good song it's grown on me i think it was one of those when i first heard it i was kind of like
[00:20:43] all right this is okay but it's one of the ones that i've kind of wanted to keep going back to
[00:20:49] the same yeah i first heard it i was like okay cute cute when we heard it again i was like
[00:20:55] so yeah it's a grower not a shower i guess
[00:20:59] all right so for this one because it doesn't have a bridge it lost like 0.5 of a point so i'll give
[00:21:03] it a 7.5 so i think it sounds harsh guys i need any more i'll stick to an eight i do like this one yeah
[00:21:10] that's valid okay moving on to track three we have someone for me which was done by sarah hudson
[00:21:16] leland r.i pablo lost boy and joan joan i think so yes zone with an h uh yeah so this was the song
[00:21:27] that was given the push to all the playlists on release day so if anyone had new music friday or
[00:21:32] they listened to like pop you know recent pop or whatever they call these playlists this was the song
[00:21:37] that was chosen uh so right now its streaming numbers are much higher uh than the rest of the
[00:21:42] album um so we'll see how that kind of translates as as time goes on uh but yeah i think i can see why
[00:21:49] it was chosen for that it is very very catchy and it was done by lost boy who of course worked on
[00:21:55] padom padom yes no that makes sense and that they felt that that would hopefully get some people
[00:22:01] yeah i think this one's fun you know it's different a little bit different for her
[00:22:05] yeah kind of both sonically and in just the topic like the lyrics are very very fun i love the angle
[00:22:12] of kind of being happy for your friend or whoever that they found someone but also like hello about me
[00:22:22] have we ever asked each other that i don't think you and i've ever asked like oh do you know someone
[00:22:26] no yeah no yeah no um but yeah again her vocal execution is so good i mean i maybe i should just
[00:22:33] say that now and i don't have to say it for the rest of the album because i mean she's been also been
[00:22:37] talking about one of the talking points clearly from all these interviews is that she self-records
[00:22:41] right and yeah now she is total full control of what takes kind of she sends to the engineers and stuff
[00:22:48] and it has really been amazing because you can hear the balance and every single word there's some
[00:22:57] intention behind how she's singing it whether she's like melancholic or it's warm or it's icy or
[00:23:03] whatever yeah uh you can hear all the nuance in that yeah so that really does elevate the song because
[00:23:09] i think if you had someone who was less skilled as a studio vocalist doing this song it would sound a
[00:23:14] lot more dull because the melody itself is like not that dynamic you know no but she really does the
[00:23:22] most that she can with it like vocally um and the production is very cool i love the way the bass
[00:23:29] synth is used it's relatively minimalistic but there is like a whimsiness to it which i enjoy
[00:23:36] so yeah this one is probably a favorite on this album for me it's up there for sure uh
[00:23:44] yeah super catchy i like it what do you think yeah um at the album at the listening party she
[00:23:50] mentioned that when she heard it she's like oh i have to record this and so when she even when she
[00:23:54] heard the demo she was like this is good i like this let's do this um i think this song is is
[00:24:01] she actually spoke spanish before she did a little bit of spanish before the song played right i think
[00:24:07] she kind of just had let us know there's a little latin influences so i think it's nice to have the house
[00:24:12] the latin influence uh it makes it fun um it doesn't sound like cheap versions of the genres that
[00:24:20] is deriving some influence from which i appreciate um but i think this probably is one of my favorites
[00:24:27] i would say on the album and it sounds the most i would say like not as cold right everything else
[00:24:35] sounds very technological like i downloaded this and like you know weird science where they computed
[00:24:40] and made the perfect woman like that's what a lot of the sounds of the album sound like which isn't a
[00:24:43] bad thing because the tension era is very digital and computerized and like folk holder moment but
[00:24:51] this one even though there was effects on the voice like you said her her intonation is what shifts it
[00:24:58] from being like a sexy sad robot looking for you know a downloadable character to fall in love with
[00:25:03] and more like an actual woman be like hey girl listen he's great it's very sexy how he loves you but
[00:25:10] do you have a brother does he have does he have a brother a cousin an uncle um like i would take
[00:25:15] anybody that's relatively close to yours but that's just not yours and i love that because it's true
[00:25:20] i mean i haven't asked anyone that question in years but i've thought like damn girl this this
[00:25:26] sheesh where's mine you know it's like it's like i think she also mentioned she's like one of those like
[00:25:30] hey god it's me again i see what you've done for others like that's what this song does and it's
[00:25:36] perfect for the time because a lot of people do make that joke when they see like those couples on
[00:25:39] instagram where they're like i see what you've done for other god um yes but yeah i feel like the
[00:25:43] sentiment is good because it also makes her not seem super sleazy where she's that she's like i love
[00:25:48] that for you now can we just copy and paste that's all i need i don't want anything else i will say i
[00:25:54] will say i'm still wondering where the bridge was on this one but i mean this one is okay it's more
[00:25:59] dancey it's more like enjoyable it's it kind of fits in with the theme of her being at the club and
[00:26:03] seeing everything happening so it doesn't really need i think it doesn't really need a bridge as
[00:26:07] much as some of the other songs may have needed that's about you know i'm saying yeah this one's
[00:26:11] kind of like we're at the club i'd notice how good he treats you and it's so much fun you kind
[00:26:14] of just dance about yourself you're just thinking about like you know what last last time i'm gonna
[00:26:18] ask you selfishly asking this last time do you have someone for me and i was like perfect big dot
[00:26:24] yes period and i loved it and i was like oh okay i'm not mad about the the bridge not being here
[00:26:30] he says there's so much going on in the production like there's certain like little drops and the
[00:26:35] rises making little sounds and i'm like oh yeah okay okay i like this one i don't know the melody
[00:26:41] is not that dynamic but something about it is very charming also i love the way the lyrics are written
[00:26:47] as well where she kind of lists stuff in the verse like i like that he does this i like that he treats
[00:26:52] you like this yeah and the chorus then becomes more selfish and more vulnerable right
[00:26:56] me me me what about me literally me me me me
[00:27:02] love this one um you know go off girl so for this one
[00:27:10] okay for me this is my nine i'm gonna say my nine yeah
[00:27:14] nice i'll go a little lower i'll do an 8.5 okay valid
[00:27:20] all right up next is good as gone sorry guys we keep saying it because we know the songs but yeah
[00:27:25] next is good as gone and it's done by caroline island noonie bow tom barnes pete kelleher
[00:27:33] kind of her um ben con and tms all right so this one thoughts this was an immediate standout for me
[00:27:41] i think on the very first listen of the album yeah and it kind of has stayed that way for me
[00:27:46] first off lyrically this is basically her since you've been gone it's like i'm so much better now
[00:27:51] that you're not here right right right yeah the production is good on this one uh it's very much
[00:27:57] what's in right now so it'll be interesting to see how this dance this current style of dance
[00:28:02] pop production kind of goes like how whether it kind of stays timeless or not or if it kind of dates
[00:28:11] itself in a few years um but i like it right now like the bass synth is super heavy um then you get
[00:28:20] a balance of strings and these like electronic effects and sounds all through and it's all very
[00:28:24] atmospheric um and what is kind of happening right now in dance i do think there is always like this
[00:28:31] etherealness that's kind of in there um yeah so so i like all of that um just feels very on trend
[00:28:40] for sure uh this one is one of the ones that has a proper outro so it kind of acts like a bridge so
[00:28:46] i'll take it right and i think this is the longest song not counting the um collabs so wild i know it's
[00:28:55] like barely over three minutes freaking wild bro so um yeah i think this one's probably one of the more
[00:29:01] fun ones to sing along to because melodically it just has a fun kind of wave to it um and kylie also
[00:29:08] taught us a little dance routine as well for the you know um so i i think this would be great on tour
[00:29:15] like i think it's super super fun this is one i think one of the most fun ones at that party
[00:29:19] oh yeah totally uh and then vocally again just a ton of texture she uses a lot of vocal fry
[00:29:25] uh at the end of each line for this one and her mix also sounds super well developed on this one
[00:29:30] yeah so yeah this one's definitely a highlight it's one that i remembered kind of right from the
[00:29:35] beginning yeah um this one i remember just like being especially at the listening party i was like
[00:29:42] finally girl because she's so like i love you and i blah blah which is fine but this is very much
[00:29:52] gtfo and she needs this she needs a gtfo out of my life kind of song because it's so many
[00:30:00] you can still dance to it you're still crying the club crying on the metro but still be like get out
[00:30:05] my life and i love that for her um this feels like a futuristic disco it feels distant and cool
[00:30:13] and i love it like the bass i think is probably like the one of the best parts for sure um and i
[00:30:18] love how the music falls away for the the chorus it just makes it feel really cold like you're on the
[00:30:24] phone you're like no i'm done click and they're like oh yeah so i love how that builds
[00:30:29] um the strings like again it just makes it feel like it's a disco song without sounding like
[00:30:35] disco guest list you know what i'm saying like it's nice um i think this is the one where for me
[00:30:42] her vocals didn't sound as processed um and if there wasn't processing i just heard it in the harmonies
[00:30:49] like some little bit of effects on the harmonies um but yeah this one feels like she was a little bit
[00:30:54] more like you know solo vocal not like doubled vocals with like effects on it and i appreciate
[00:31:01] it because it makes it a little bit more real because what she's expressing is a real emotion
[00:31:05] right um being good at letting go how many of us are in our era where she's like i'm in my villain
[00:31:10] era she kind of mentioned that um a couple times and it's true she deserves to kind of be at this like
[00:31:15] i'm done with this you know kind of thing and then she kind of go through a breakup like
[00:31:21] like mid tension release like i don't know what the timing of that was yeah okay but yeah i just
[00:31:26] for me knowing a little bit of tidbit like yes girl you told him goodbye i'm gonna tell him goodbye
[00:31:31] so i got nobody to say goodbye to but i love it um so yes this one i like this one's fun this one's
[00:31:35] kind of bold um but yeah i feel like maybe because she it was a little choreography i might be a little
[00:31:42] bit biased toward it it's hard not to she was literally like two feet away from us
[00:31:48] maybe even less yeah yeah you're right though the outro definitely does help give an elevation for
[00:31:55] it so i'll give it an 8.5 i would say 8.5 okay i will do the nine for this one
[00:32:05] okay next up is kiss bang bang which was done by kylie minogue alna boy matthews nev applebaum and german
[00:32:14] yeah what do you think of this this one is okay so if i were to describe this one it'd be like a
[00:32:21] slight sequel for taboo like you know i like to have songs on you know i'm always like i need
[00:32:26] and if there's something on the album right i don't want it to be so far removed where it's like a
[00:32:30] standalone on the album like you know how i get if you guys watch our reviews before i feel like
[00:32:34] if you're gonna have like a song that's like you know oh baby you're so dangerous you're so hot to
[00:32:39] touch i like to have a matching song you know and this one kind of feels like this it's like a build
[00:32:44] up and the story and the verses are really nice it's really nice excuse me i feel like it makes me
[00:32:50] think of like how you meet someone at a club right even eyeballing them they've been looking at you
[00:32:54] you're like i know you're looking but i'm looking too right you know they've been giving you looks
[00:32:58] but then you go to the bathroom or something you step outside for air you see them again
[00:33:01] you get back to the dance floor and you start dancing and stuff like that and you make out
[00:33:05] even you make out in the hall you make outside either way you're making out somewhere i think
[00:33:10] my favorite my favorite thing is the breathy delivery you know because hey i feel like there's
[00:33:17] no other way she could have done it because any other way would just have a really freaking crazy
[00:33:21] like kiss you know who i hurt was she because when she mentioned the title of the song i was like
[00:33:27] oh is this the western song we're gonna get we're gonna get back to the golden era is this what
[00:33:31] we're getting no it was just cold killer you know kissing kate barlow um and i don't mind the
[00:33:38] processing on this at all yeah it just sounds like again it sounds like a sex club and and like a doubt
[00:33:45] you like a virtual reality sex club that's what it's giving i don't know i don't know think about
[00:33:50] this album just gives me a lot of like mental like cues um but yeah i love how her vocal my favorite
[00:33:57] thing about like the vocal effects is that even when she's in her falsetto it doesn't sound like
[00:34:00] it's trying to pitch correct her you know how that happens with vocal and you're like girl
[00:34:05] why'd y'all leave that on there why'd y'all do that but this one just feels more just like
[00:34:09] ethereal as you said before it floats so when the beat drops in that chorus it's like oh yeah
[00:34:15] oh yeah yes now just you know you undulate a little bit you bop your chest um but yeah this song
[00:34:21] again just has the idea of i'm just trying to hook up with you you're so attractive i'm trying to hit
[00:34:26] you with this one shot my eyes have been on you all night they don't want your heart but like
[00:34:30] yeah you're trying to kiss bang bang you you know so kudos to her for having fun with it it's really
[00:34:36] sexy too i feel like this is the sexiest one we've gotten so far yeah like taboo is kind of there but
[00:34:43] it's almost too bright this one's like no no i'm gonna f*** him oh you know so i like it i'm like go
[00:34:49] ahead girl um yeah you mentioned her vocal like floating i definitely also imagine like her in a
[00:34:56] bathtub or a pool or something as she's singing this because it does feel kind of underwater yeah in a
[00:35:02] way um because of how slinky it is so yeah i guess there's a pool in in this virtual sex club that you
[00:35:07] yeah yeah anyway you know i think she said you know with this album a lot of new writers and stuff
[00:35:16] came along that wanted to work with her so honestly if padam padam was your main kind of
[00:35:22] inspiration and kind of it's a brief that you were given this makes sense as like uh not not really a
[00:35:28] derivative because it has a different energy to it but definitely if you like padam padam you'll
[00:35:33] probably like this one too yes okay um and you could probably mash them up probably maybe quite easily
[00:35:39] like that's what i hear it's like a more energetic padam i guess that's what i hear yeah yeah
[00:35:44] but yeah it's fun there's definitely like a creepiness to it which kind of goes along with
[00:35:48] the spy vixen thing because it is like uh i like you kind of thing and i've you're my i put my target
[00:35:55] on you and you're it but then also it's like does the other person actually feel the same way i don't
[00:36:00] know so it could just be one way at this point um but yeah it's super super fun super catchy i will
[00:36:09] admit this was one that i didn't think that much of when i first heard it yeah but after watching
[00:36:17] kylie sing it in front of me it did make it grow a lot more and now listening to it like again these
[00:36:24] past few days i do enjoy it um so yeah my rating has gone up on this one so i now have it as an eight
[00:36:31] oh wow okay i kept mine like a solid eight i feel it feels good um but yeah moving right along
[00:36:37] to a song that was uh you know we we made some tour choreography for us if you guys see it
[00:36:42] see some handography chris and i did that um and it's diamonds and this was done by kylie minogue
[00:36:49] jesse st john jennifer deck and rio and von oliver i tried with her yeah okay yes so this one is
[00:37:00] interesting for me because when i heard it i was like disco is that you how'd you get here girl
[00:37:05] you're almost four years too late dear you almost four years too late you almost missed us um i think
[00:37:10] for me the repeated vowel sounds throughout the verses is what really made me kind of like think
[00:37:14] oh this the same back ability is very high um the pre-hook is entertaining because it's got the built-in
[00:37:20] call and response where it's like diamonds diamonds
[00:37:26] so it's it's built in there we we got sucked into her little spell
[00:37:33] ourselves yes twice for me because at the listening part she did the same thing i was in her
[00:37:38] looking my hands like a doofus you know but i think for me what really i like the most the harmonies
[00:37:45] in the song because it helps out with the cold way the vocals are mixed so when you have these harmonies
[00:37:50] kind of adding a little bit more of um warmth for lack of a better word warmth in a fullness
[00:37:55] because with all this processing it makes her sound really icy cold and like kind of tinny at points
[00:38:00] so you have the diamond diamonds with the diamonds diamonds it has a reverb on it it sounds more full
[00:38:06] it feels like you're with a group of people yelling diamonds diamonds in the in the freaking
[00:38:10] um karaoke hall which is great i love that the freaking bridge finally exists in this song
[00:38:15] the hot hot pressure pressure did make me think of um bad romance though i'm not gonna hold you
[00:38:19] totally i was like i have that written down too yeah okay let's take it away yeah i was like
[00:38:26] because i'm a freak bitch baby you know like i was like is that coming i swear to god if steve
[00:38:32] does not do that steve mr steve hi oh that'd be an interesting mashup yeah get it cleared get it
[00:38:38] cleared uh come on but yes on to you what did you think about our um not bad romance moment
[00:38:46] yeah well this one makes me think of something more from like the fever or x era like there's kind of
[00:38:53] a more 2000s vibe to it because it is also a bit brighter than some of the other stuff we've heard so
[00:38:59] far on this one so it is refreshing like it does stand out in a good way i think on this album
[00:39:04] valid valid um yeah again this was another one at the beginning when i first heard this album i was
[00:39:11] kind of like not really sure about it because just the hook feels a little simple da da da da da
[00:39:17] diamond yeah diamonds like that's literally the entire book chorus as simple as well yeah but it is very
[00:39:23] catchy and again you know we had a lot of fun yeah with the song at the party yeah and i could definitely
[00:39:31] see her doing like a super campy performance of this on tour because obviously the diamond
[00:39:37] imagery is just so prevalent across the entire era right yes so it'll be interesting if she adds this
[00:39:45] one but she seemed to have a lot of fun doing this one like with the rap and everything oh yeah
[00:39:49] so i could definitely see it but i think on the album like in comparison to the other songs
[00:39:57] i this isn't my favorite you know like it's like okay like it would never be a single like i think
[00:40:03] it's fun but i would choose other songs over it you know that's valid that's valid i gave it a seven
[00:40:10] because it's okay it's just yeah yeah i'll go 7.5 moving on to hello we have ina roldson nev applebaum
[00:40:19] john morgan and will landsley all right this was so funny to me yeah because this is where she said
[00:40:28] like you know i'm not do the accents i'm terrible at it but she was like i feel like i'm in my villain
[00:40:33] era yeah she was like yeah and i was like yes baddie kylie
[00:40:37] at the listening part i was being a fool i was like baddie kylie love a baddie
[00:40:42] so i was like yeah did you hear that and i don't know if she heard her but the fans were like yeah
[00:40:48] yeah i'm like yeah um it's a little creepy this song but not like terribly creepy it reminds me of
[00:40:55] like megan but like a sexy megan um where she's like hello i am at your door i know you're awake
[00:41:02] and you're just like girl hang on wait wait wait wait wait but then it gets sexy and it's like i'm the
[00:41:08] reason why you're awake i'm the why you're awake it's a little sexy it hits it's like it hits like
[00:41:13] the hooded like creeper out the window and there's like yeah but i know you're i'm the reason though
[00:41:17] right and they're like oh yeah you scared me for a second babe but you were a killer um so that's
[00:41:22] the kind of like vibe i'm getting from this one um yeah i think again it just sounds like a pleasure
[00:41:27] bot just coming to your house is very just digital and artificial sounding but it's not a bad thing it
[00:41:32] just makes you envision a certain kind of visual and that's good you want to make people think
[00:41:36] or dance or feel something and this one made me think about that i'm not sure how i feel like i
[00:41:41] don't know if i feel sexy listening to this it's it's it makes me think like okay it's a little creepy
[00:41:46] um but it's also fun creepy it's like you know i'm the right eyebrow raise that you just did yeah
[00:41:53] like kylie does a lot as well i'm always so it just feels a little cheeky again it just feels conceptual
[00:41:58] more than it does like this is going to change your life you know um yeah the second verse with the
[00:42:03] percussion switch up was great i think after a while you listen to these songs and they pulse
[00:42:09] you're like okay okay okay okay okay okay you might get lucky if you're at an event and the dj knows how
[00:42:14] to mix certain musics together and it's good but the song already does it it's a little jersey club
[00:42:19] moment in the second verse without being too corny um and i like the percussion there you know it
[00:42:24] breaks up the monotony of the pulsating beats um it makes you kind of want to hit a different
[00:42:29] rhythm with your body so this one's fun um it's creepy but i'm not mad at this one i want to see
[00:42:37] this one performed i want to see this one dance i want to see what they come up with if they decide
[00:42:40] to use this one she seemed excited about it because she's like doing all the creepy little
[00:42:45] movements too um so yeah i mean this one is cute in concept it didn't change my life but it's
[00:42:54] definitely cute concept yes uh yeah this one's definitely the padom padom derivative for sure
[00:43:03] uh it's very very similar kind of in every way just yeah just in terms of like the the structure of it
[00:43:10] and the feel of it yeah um obviously lyrically it's different and i i do like the lyrics of it i think
[00:43:16] that's probably my favorite aspect of the song for sure but in kind of this era like do you really need
[00:43:25] this i don't really know because it's just i don't know like why would you listen to this one
[00:43:31] instead of the dom padom you know what i mean like i just okay yeah well i still i still kind of feel
[00:43:37] like padom padom isn't my favorite from her so you prefer this one maybe okay because there's something
[00:43:46] here other than just like my heart rates this one's like well i don't know if you feel the same but i'm
[00:43:49] here anyway i just don't think you need both you know what i mean you're right yeah damn that's tough
[00:43:55] yeah i think it just depends on what if you like do a genre of dance pop you like like do you like
[00:43:59] right yeah okay yeah because but also like i've actually seen a lot of comments i think this is
[00:44:05] one of the more divisive tracks i think some people think how i feel and then some people are like oh my
[00:44:09] god this is like so cool and we like this kind of creepiness of it and it's like interesting for
[00:44:13] kylie yeah she does have this song from impossible princess called say hey that is also kind of like
[00:44:20] the similar like i can't sleep and i'm calling you i just want to say hey it's like done in kind of
[00:44:27] again kind of a creepy kind of way so people were saying oh like that mashed up with this for the tour
[00:44:33] could be really really cool yeah so i yeah she elevates it kind of in that way and does something
[00:44:38] really creative with it that'd be awesome um but yeah you're so right with the badom thing wow
[00:44:43] yeah but as a standalone um this one's just a bit forgettable for me yeah but not it's not bad it's
[00:44:50] just like feels a little derivative yeah you're so right about the badom thing it happened i guess
[00:44:55] i only happened prior to this song um a song a couple of times back and then this one i was like
[00:45:01] uh done but um like i started singing it yeah oh you're so right oh so what's your score for this one
[00:45:06] i'll still give it a seven like i don't think it's a bad song i just think it's like fine yeah
[00:45:11] that's valid do i like it because it's creepy i don't know because it's good yeah i mean like
[00:45:17] you said watching kylie do she did kind of do the creepy robotic faces while she was singing it which
[00:45:22] was fun but yeah okay i think because the ending doesn't go anywhere and padam is more fleshed out
[00:45:30] we got like almost like damn near 30 seconds of just music i'm gonna give it a seven as well okay
[00:45:37] yeah i'll leave that seven yeah yeah all right we're right along from hello to dance to the music and
[00:45:45] this was done by kylie minogue jesse st john jennifer desilville tobias wincorn and vaughn
[00:45:53] oliver y'all got these first name first name last names going on you've already attempted her name once
[00:45:59] i know this one was better right it was so much better i'm i guess i noticed it's silvio
[00:46:04] maybe oh the sylvea i feel like you have more sense than i do go off that was right i think i mean
[00:46:10] that's a really cool just the way it's spelled is cool at least yeah um yeah honestly i'm proud of
[00:46:16] it because we're like one of the only shows that actually do shout out the songwriters we've been
[00:46:19] doing that since like the beginning so sorry for saying your name wrong boopy um but yeah this one is
[00:46:26] hmm this one is not bad not bad not bad this one is like okay it's okay like if you think about disco
[00:46:36] guest list what was happening with infinite disco and the tall tension era those stand let's use those
[00:46:42] last those past four kind of like sounds that we're used to it kind of gives in comparison to what we've
[00:46:47] heard okay i'm just it's not a bad song the quality is good the vocals the concept of the song but
[00:46:55] nothing really stands out to me i like the donna reference and like the vocoder that's like you
[00:47:01] know a la s club seven everybody gets to do the s club beat i love that it's fun it feels like a fun
[00:47:08] okay so yeah i just i feel like it's a fun party song to sing along to but like would i be at home
[00:47:15] alone sitting there like yeah like this is kind of like okay it's safe yeah it's safe it has that
[00:47:22] disco beat not a lot of effects on her voice i think it's pretty but yeah yeah this one's just a tad
[00:47:33] random to me because it it doesn't really fit on this album like at all no and yes obviously she did
[00:47:41] do the disco album but like literally every song on the disco album is better than this one
[00:47:45] yeah yeah i would say yeah uh i will think lyrically i i do like it like it feels like a song for her
[00:47:52] fans like yeah she calls out the lovers yeah um it's almost like she's talking about her concert
[00:47:57] like her concert is where you can come and like feel safe and accepted and dance to the music yeah
[00:48:02] yeah uh the melody is cute like it is warm which we haven't gotten much warm on this album so far
[00:48:09] right it's been more icy so at least there's some contrast there and i like that it's kind of chill
[00:48:15] in comparison to everything else which like maybe is why she didn't play it at these listening parties
[00:48:19] and stuff because i guess everything else feels more like party party um there are some really nice
[00:48:25] harmonies here yeah i'm like the dance like on those long moments which are nice but yeah just this
[00:48:31] just feels like a song that was like written during the disco era that they didn't fully finish and then
[00:48:38] as they were fleshing this out they kind of were like oh we have this i don't know i don't think that
[00:48:42] is the case because the writers are all i think newer people that she's been working with but whatever
[00:48:47] makes you feel that way that's yeah like i just don't i i would choose to listen to the disco album
[00:48:51] over this song for sure big big oof yeah yeah but again i don't think it's bad like none of these songs
[00:48:57] are bad which is great you know yes um but yeah i'll stick with the seven again like it's just kind
[00:49:04] of like okay in the middle of the road yeah yeah yeah i'll match you i'll match you i don't want to
[00:49:09] give it too low yeah i don't think it deserves anything lower than that but it's just like a little
[00:49:13] sign yeah it's average for her at the end of the day if you're a kylie fan you know it's average for
[00:49:18] her yes like yeah yes that's right moving on to shit aleckia which was done by kylie minogue gerard
[00:49:25] o'connell richard biff standard and duck blackwell this one feels like the 80s i will say in terms of
[00:49:33] like the tension you know capsule if you will yeah it's not as good as hold on to now or things we do
[00:49:40] for love um right because those really landed to that whole like you know 80s ballady kind of 80s
[00:49:46] yeah yeah and this one's okay this feels like honestly it should have been a younger artist but
[00:49:53] i feel like a young artist who doesn't have a sound would have released this um just to follow a trend
[00:49:59] it's not bad but again i just feel like it's okay um uh i like the sentiment i think that's what kind
[00:50:10] of saves me a little bit um but but it feels like a good response and like match to the whole
[00:50:15] on to now things we do but it's not as strong the drum machine of the percussion is probably something i
[00:50:20] like because it sounds like someone was like okay you know ticky ticky tacky on the little machine
[00:50:25] yes but yeah i mean at this point in the album i feel like if you're going to give me regretful
[00:50:29] kylie the song has to be a banger like there wasn't like a lot of moments that stood out to me like
[00:50:35] the cherry cherry red lipstick i'm hitting my nails part i love that part yes the repetition works it
[00:50:40] does but again like by the time the second chorus by the time the chorus on second time by the time
[00:50:46] the chorus came around i was like this should have been left on the cutting room floor like this one
[00:50:51] should have been left yeah yeah uh it's okay it's okay yeah i pretty much feel the same way
[00:50:58] i i mean it does make sense with the kind of more 80s kind of thing that tension one had i guess
[00:51:04] yeah uh because i i think we did say like at the time like it it felt like there were two concepts
[00:51:12] going on with tension the first tension and so now with this you could kind of almost rearrange the
[00:51:17] whole thing so you have like an 80s album and then you have like this like dance pop like icy
[00:51:23] icy villain stuff you know yeah so so i get it but i agree with you the song itself it's just like
[00:51:32] okay there is a bit of countryness to it so you mentioned golden before like now you have that
[00:51:36] guitar in there that just it's distorted and stuff but it's still there um so then it kind of throws
[00:51:41] it back a little bit to kind of her older stuff and i think melodically it's nice um but i also don't
[00:51:50] love the effect that's on her voice this time around yeah because again she sounds like she's
[00:51:54] kind of singing into water but it's just a bit muddy like it doesn't really i don't know it takes away
[00:51:59] from i think the emotion a little bit of the lyrics yeah yeah and also biff we know you can write a good
[00:52:07] bridge yeah this song is far too short like i wonder if it was actually it's just like part of the brief
[00:52:13] after this album was like these songs can all be short like padam was i don't know
[00:52:19] yeah i'm gonna be honest i don't tend to remember this one on the album like i don't think i can even
[00:52:25] sing a verse the verse back to you at this point uh and that's literally all been listening to for the
[00:52:30] past like four days like non-stop so yeah so yeah again though it's not bad um it's just kind of like
[00:52:37] okay in the scope of what we're talking about it could be better right so so yeah i'm gonna stick
[00:52:43] again to a seven you know i'm gonna go to 6.5 because it's not even as good as like dance the
[00:52:48] dance music i can kind of get through this one i was like jesus save me okay so very fair
[00:52:52] sorry yeah not because it's kylie but because it's just the written it was written well sorry
[00:52:57] yeah um all right moving right along to edge of saturday night with the blessed madonna who i
[00:53:05] ignorantly thought was madonna who just changed her name like you know how like
[00:53:08] snoop lion yeah i made a mistake i didn't realize who it was i was like
[00:53:12] oh my gosh if madonna and kylie ever do a duet like yeah the internet will be crazy i mean amazing
[00:53:19] i doubt they can ever do it because they know that the song would have to be like literally one of
[00:53:24] the best songs ever ever written or it can be like this one because it was written by the blessed
[00:53:29] madonna ray jen jen kylie dan system and pat alvarez and i have to say like literally i heard this and i was
[00:53:37] like oh oh yeah okay okay okay this is fun i love that 11 59 edge of a saturday night line like oh my
[00:53:45] gosh yes oh so good like this this kind of song could have gone one of two ways right underwhelming
[00:53:52] or good like can you imagine if madonna was on it it would be it would be fine as well if she was on it
[00:53:57] just be like that both of them are on a good song for me this is a really good song um it's like 80s
[00:54:01] it's big and then it kind of goes into different kind of decades and it goes into house music and it's
[00:54:04] like so the production is so crisp it's so delicious it just reminded me like the whole
[00:54:10] essence of the song reminded me of how we were behaving at that album release party um
[00:54:17] i mean it's not chris and i were acting buck wild but we weren't acting buck wild we were just
[00:54:21] dancing the whole time having fun unlike some of those other people oh my goodness but we were
[00:54:26] dancing the whole time we were popping our cookies the whole time and this song from beginning to end
[00:54:30] makes you want to body roll and pump your body and pump your hands and shake your head and close your
[00:54:34] eyes and just get lost in the music and that's the idea you want to release the tension and this song
[00:54:39] is like the cathartis catharsis which she also mentions in the song i think the switch up at the
[00:54:44] end of the second verse with like the rapper-ish part it could have been a bridge i'm not mad that
[00:54:49] it's not yeah it makes me feel a little bit more like oh earworm what's that hang on not your
[00:54:53] worm like oh caught my ear you know i think the beat breakdown after the second chorus
[00:54:57] is more aggressive than the first one so it thickens that tension and about it's i like this
[00:55:02] one if you can tell i'm super excited about it oh i'm getting hot talking about it right now
[00:55:06] oh but i'm a little warm very serious to me but yeah i feel like this one was fun and it's nice that
[00:55:13] she was working with someone like brand new and then that's why the lyrics are actually really good
[00:55:18] too because ray wrote some of them because she's such a good yeah well annoyingly so she actually did the
[00:55:22] demo and i think there was a plan to actually make it a duet with kylie and ray but i think with
[00:55:26] ray's current kind of release schedule and stuff it didn't make sense for her to release a duet so
[00:55:31] my heart breaks oh my god what a waste you know i mean so for you to take words like catharsis and on
[00:55:37] and and certain things like 11 59 and edge of saturday night and i'm pretty sure they all had a hand in it
[00:55:42] but ray's word play even if it's like a large word like mariah carey using nonchalant or like you
[00:55:50] know so what did she say in the heartbreaker she's a big freaking sat words yeah you know
[00:55:55] relinquish my love you know you have to be a good songwriter to make it fit within the melody and make
[00:56:01] it sound good and i feel like they did a good job everyone involved bone apple teeth yeah how do you
[00:56:07] feel about this one yeah i really like this one i was actually really mad that the dj did not play
[00:56:12] this at the album release party like instead we got my oh my like three times oh my god which
[00:56:18] we'll get to that song but this song is so good yeah it's so so good it does have some really
[00:56:23] classic house elements but it feels super fresh i think because of the way that kind of typical house
[00:56:29] piano is built in with this like really grungy kind of like bass beat and stuff it's very very cool
[00:56:37] uh and it does take you on a ride with like the sudden rap moment and then yeah and then it suddenly
[00:56:42] just switches right back into the chorus like it's so so good i also love the way the breaths are
[00:56:47] incorporated throughout eileen has quite an iconic breath like she uses her breath quite a lot in a
[00:56:52] lot of songs so i it was nice to kind of hear this in a new way yeah as well and the way the chorus is
[00:56:58] produced like it feels like a chance like it feels like it's something that everyone can kind of sing
[00:57:03] along to i would love for this to be on the tour she has included it like in the latest like the past
[00:57:09] few gigs that she's been doing right so so yeah this one definitely feels like the right progression
[00:57:15] from tension like the song tension oh yeah yeah like i think the two of them pair really well
[00:57:21] together it's slightly more experimental but still accessible and catchy uh so yeah this was this is
[00:57:27] definitely a highlight on this album for sure uh what do you think of the visual the visual is so
[00:57:33] indie sleeves but like she's not indie so it's like i think the blessed madonna you could count as indie
[00:57:39] maybe okay yeah i will say it's giving it's giving indie chic sleeves or any sleeve chic
[00:57:45] yes because you have this high the high class like this upper echelon artist that is kylie
[00:57:52] partying with the plebs not even trying to be funny but she just legit is playing tennis with her
[00:57:55] bodyguards it doesn't get more plebeian than that it's hysterical but it's not but she's not being nasty
[00:58:00] it's kind of just her being like well i want to go play at four o'clock in the morning okay but you
[00:58:05] can't go alone okay bring bob and todd i don't care let's just go and you know it's so fun like
[00:58:10] the whole like going through the party going through the club she's wearing the same clothes that she went
[00:58:15] out in the whole it just it's funny but not like haha funny it's funny like that happened to me you
[00:58:21] know it's it's it's chill this is relatable the way it's filmed there's like vcr moments there's like
[00:58:26] cell phone kind of footage there's it's just it's fun it's easygoing it adds to the atmosphere of
[00:58:32] the music like i remember listening to this and i heard like funky lips uh funky town no was it no
[00:58:37] lips lips funky town excuse me and i was like oh are they gonna do like a little like a little 80s
[00:58:42] visual no this is very much like 2000s like kesha hot mess yes kind of sexy just dance that early
[00:58:49] like 2010 sleaze pop stuff and it makes it feel a lot more cooler like the song's already cool but then
[00:58:57] the video feels cool because it looks like she's legit just having the time of her life it's like why
[00:59:00] was i not invited to this party and that's very hard to do sometimes sometimes parties look very
[00:59:05] contrived and this one just look like you had a you had a pool side where people are freaking boring
[00:59:08] as hell you have a party club a bunch of bunch of people are dancing so it has a good balance of like
[00:59:14] yeah not all the time is it going to be like wow having a party sometimes people are just standing
[00:59:19] there being like cool and some people are some people are standing there being like us yeah all the
[00:59:24] party scenes kind of remind me of elite oh my god okay it's valid super valid which is the way
[00:59:30] everyone was stressed i don't know you could just tell it wasn't europe you know what i mean yeah
[00:59:33] totally it wasn't us it wasn't with us she said forget y'all all right so yeah i will give us a nine
[00:59:39] how about you i'm gonna give it a 10
[00:59:43] yeah i love this one it's so good okay yes okay moving on to my oh my with bb rexa and
[00:59:50] tuve lu or tove lo which some people also say uh this was written by ina roldsson zeev mac and
[00:59:58] tuve lu yes tuve lu period if you did not know that video yeah look at megan the stallion look at it's
[01:00:04] hysterical because she's she's like tove tove tove tove no tove lu period um i don't think she knew
[01:00:10] who tuve lu was um lu is they'd be great together actually they have to figure out a song anyway um
[01:00:19] okay um um okay so i'm trying to be nice so i like the video a little bit more than like the song
[01:00:25] that's outside there and i'm going a little backwards um i like the laws you know after
[01:00:31] can't get you out of my head she should be saying la a lot more um the vocal effects
[01:00:38] is okay i feel like i'm on the phone with her or like talking to like an ai version of her
[01:00:42] which again is not bad it fits the idea of what tension is um i feel like the course is lazy
[01:00:48] not lazy but i just feel like it's just it's trying to give the idea of being effortless
[01:00:55] when it's just boring just to kind of excuse it to kind of like we're going to say this phrase over
[01:01:00] and over again to go into a dance break portion of a song and i don't appreciate it um i will say i'm
[01:01:08] kind of surprised that bb rexah she legit just followed the same melody as kylie with a little
[01:01:15] bit of kind of like nuances that were her she kind of surprised me a little bit and it's way she
[01:01:18] delivered her part she's not a bad singer she's a great singer she's a great songwriter
[01:01:22] tuve lu stole the show because she's singing with falsetto she's singing like in her chest voice like it
[01:01:26] was a little bit more like i don't know how to describe it but it was just it was a little bit
[01:01:32] sexier because she was in falsetto a little bit and then she went to her chest voice and then she
[01:01:35] kind of was whispering the hi so there's a little bit more of like a texture thing for me i think
[01:01:41] especially with all the processing that kind of either like made me like it certain parts or like
[01:01:46] dislike certain parts it's a chill song could i shop to it yeah do i like the singers that were on it
[01:01:52] absolutely i just feel like maybe this was not the right song for all their voices
[01:01:55] it kind of was just like let's just get the names that we know the gays love
[01:02:00] and then see what happens you know what i'm saying so yeah yeah this one does not do it for
[01:02:07] me like even when it very when it first came out i was like yeah uh yeah i think the lyrics are fun
[01:02:14] you know the little references to their astrological signs that high moments are fun but i actually just
[01:02:20] find the chorus very annoying yeah that melody is annoying like it's that i get it it's like supposed
[01:02:27] to be like kind of like chill and like monotone and like sounds like a net kind of yeah it's just
[01:02:31] whiny yeah it's whiny and of course the vocal effects don't help with that right because kylie and
[01:02:38] bb they both have thinner tones are different right kylie is like she's just had naturally has
[01:02:43] quite a high voice it's very thin and it's quite nasally naturally bb has more of like a rasp to it
[01:02:48] yeah but it's still quite thin so then when you put this effect on it it sounds even more
[01:02:55] whiny it's buzzy it's too yeah uh bb does have some ad libs in there that sound pretty good
[01:03:01] yeah but yeah i agree tubaloo her verse is definitely the best part of the song i think
[01:03:07] i think obviously she wrote the song too right so i think it maybe just fits her voice better but she
[01:03:12] does have a thicker tone that can kind of stand up to that type of processing a bit more
[01:03:17] where you don't completely lose all the textures and stuff that you were talking about yeah yeah uh
[01:03:22] so yeah this is just not for me i tried i will say i did try um when the music video came out
[01:03:29] like i thought the music video was great yeah yeah even when they sang it live um at with the bs
[01:03:35] yes the high park yes they sounded good why because there's no effects on their freaking mics it sounded
[01:03:40] so much better live and extra backing vocals as well like kylie's background singers added some
[01:03:45] harmonies and stuff or at least they were bumped up a bit which made it less whiny yeah so it's like
[01:03:50] there's potential in it and like again bb can sing which is why like in the high part i would prefer
[01:03:55] to watch it because she belch yes you know you can hear it yeah too so it's okay they look cute in
[01:04:01] the video they were they're embodying the goddesses as they should because hello yeah aphrodite is right
[01:04:07] there yeah i will say bb kind of was done dirty i think with her scene i don't know like the other
[01:04:12] two got to like pose on the stuff but then bb had they're like you need to get it they're like you
[01:04:17] need to get from this side of the room to that side of the room or you only have eight you know like
[01:04:19] four eight counts do it and she's like running and just like twirling with her hair and then she
[01:04:24] like makes it to the wall oh my god yes i hate that part she's gorgeous she deserves better
[01:04:29] oh me i'll stop playing bb i'll play my girl come on yeah anyway um i will give this a five how about
[01:04:35] you sorry i really don't like this song i really don't like it he said tell me no period um i was
[01:04:41] so mad that they kept playing at that release party you know what we got we got edge of saturday night
[01:04:46] at the listening party i will say that so you did uh yeah but you're right he did kept playing this
[01:04:51] and i was like what i'm like did he play the same mix over and over again yes he did playing yep
[01:04:56] oh shoot uh you know what he's a 6.5 i said a five
[01:05:04] i sound like um with jennifer coolidge oh ah yeah okay so i'm gonna match you with that five yeah
[01:05:10] i'll give it a five yeah it wasn't good no it wasn't good honestly for all three of them it's
[01:05:16] not their best work let's just be later they all have better they all have better way better yeah
[01:05:21] yes let's just pretend this one never happened yeah oh wow okay moving on to something that i'm
[01:05:27] glad happened um was midnight ride with orville peck and diplo it was done by marcy orville peck
[01:05:33] kylie minnow chris stracy diplo and the and picard brothers um so this one is interesting because going
[01:05:40] back to what i said about golden she's so strange to the country sound and country is kind of starting
[01:05:44] to weave its way back into the mainstream of pop which is exciting i used to like country before you
[01:05:49] know about eight years ago um um any little orville is probably the best guy to get in terms of
[01:05:56] the gays knowing who he is him being gay himself and just being country shanger so it's fun to have him
[01:06:03] also in terms of what they sound like together i like it because you have golden kylie meets tension
[01:06:13] kylie right so you have this horrible deep grounded voice alongside kylie's higher breathy one and it's
[01:06:22] like oh hang on he makes the song kind of sound a little bit more romantic right because his tone
[01:06:28] his vocal tone is so like inviting and deep and like i want you to stay here and hers is kind of flitty
[01:06:33] and floaty and like this is her one night and i love that kind of juxtaposition i think
[01:06:40] vocally i love the way it sounds the the the the production is not bad it's not bad it leans a
[01:06:46] little bit more toward the country and doesn't really really really really go into that dance
[01:06:53] thing the way i want it to the way i know diplo could do it was okay i mean it was like a subtle
[01:06:59] kind of flirtation with both genres um i feel like it could have been done a little more cleverly um
[01:07:05] then again i'm not a producer so i'm gonna keep my mouth shut on that but still i love the spoken
[01:07:09] bridge part because that's interesting because you have all these like you know talking and scary
[01:07:13] conversation or you know it's just nice and very classic uh to do that and you have the bgb's going
[01:07:20] oh yeah i'm singing i'm calling and i like it it feels spooky it feels sexy there's nothing scarier
[01:07:26] than meeting someone at a gas station late at night but then actually realize how hot he is it's like oh
[01:07:30] my god you scared me for a second pookie you know like that's what it was giving it was like
[01:07:34] i was pumping gas i want you to pump me now you know um so yeah i don't hate the song i thought
[01:07:40] this one there's room for like improvement in terms of like what they could have done in terms of like
[01:07:44] the production but i'm not i don't hate it i don't hate it yeah i think it's fun well i think it's fun
[01:07:51] for sure i don't know much about orville peck uh at all but i think his voice is cool like it's super
[01:07:57] deep and yeah and um it kind of has that kind of very typical kind of country sound but then him
[01:08:03] kind of singing over the dance beat and stuff is interesting yeah um so yeah i think i do think
[01:08:08] the kind of mix of dance country pop kind of it works for sure with this and i think with kylie's
[01:08:15] kind of sexy siren voice it does balance orville really well here yeah um like they're almost
[01:08:22] complete opposites in a way but when they sing the chorus together it actually sounds really good
[01:08:26] yes uh and yeah that talkie bridge is so funny super campy um and i love the vixen calls the
[01:08:33] siren calls through it very very funny um yeah definitely has a very fleshed out structure right
[01:08:40] oh finally i think this is the longest song on the album yes uh and you can feel that like it does
[01:08:46] feel kind of like it takes you through the full ride it takes you away yes um so yeah i think it's
[01:08:54] fun it's different as you know it's a little different uh i enjoy it for what it is it's
[01:08:59] it's not my favorite of of her like different collaborations and stuff but i think it yeah i
[01:09:04] think it's fun yeah that's valid i think they kind of like more of like you know you were saying
[01:09:08] those um those line dances that happen at the cowboy like those cowboy clubs that's what this would
[01:09:12] kind of fit for i feel like because it's like a more disco and not like an edm approach yes yes even
[01:09:17] though disco is edm okay point is but you can't even sound the generic edm kind of sound
[01:09:21] so yeah i mean i think i'm gonna give it a eight i like it a little bit more than diamonds
[01:09:26] and i kind of like the whole thing that they have going on here so yeah i'll give it an eight yeah
[01:09:31] okay yeah yes 7.5 for me yeah the final song on the album is dance alone with sia uh and this was
[01:09:42] done by sia jesse shatkin and jim east stack originally for sia's album more so yeah
[01:09:49] um yeah this song is uh when this was another one that also when it came out was like such a letdown
[01:10:00] because like you would think the two of them together you know they're like the two australian
[01:10:05] like the biggest female pop stars really of our time at the moment um and uh this doesn't really do
[01:10:14] much for me i think the verses are are fine like there's like a melancholy to it it feels very poetic
[01:10:20] um there's a simplicity that does work there but then the chorus feels very a bit lazy it's just
[01:10:28] just a bit meh like it just doesn't go anywhere no terrible um production wise i i like that the
[01:10:36] beats kind of like a march especially during pylee's pre-chorus i think that's
[01:10:40] kind of the more interesting part of the production yeah yeah even like with the two of them they never
[01:10:45] do any harmonies together like they just kind of each sing the chorus like it's like k-pop it's like
[01:10:52] you get this first half of the chorus and i'll get the fucking half of the chorus yeah um i don't
[01:10:58] listen to the song i yeah this one's not it yeah you know the pacing of this one is okay like the
[01:11:07] story being told in the verse of the ad building into something the chorus is lazy it is so annoying
[01:11:11] i you know you know maybe because she's not hungry anymore she's not trying to actually write good
[01:11:15] music i don't know what's happening we've heard what she did before she does for other artists but
[01:11:19] now she's like well everyone knows chandelier so what am i doing she's not trying that's what
[01:11:23] it's giving it's kind of like we all know chandelier and like was it titanium and all the other crap
[01:11:28] i would love titanium it sounds like chandelier to me i for me after i was kind of sick of it but i get
[01:11:35] the appeal right so she is capable of writing a good song but i think she's after she released
[01:11:39] that movie about the young girl on the spectrum the music has been trash i don't know what's going
[01:11:45] on i feel like she's like well you know what i still have titanium i still get royalties from that
[01:11:51] i ain't gotta try no offense missy you're very talented but you know this ain't your best stuff
[01:11:54] um no i mean her success level has really died as well like like i don't think like i'm just
[01:12:01] her streaming numbers just looking right now like not even close right to kind of her prime
[01:12:07] and like the mid 2010s yeah that's shot but then write a good song write a better hook i don't know
[01:12:13] what to tell you um yeah by the umpteenth like i just want to dance i was like get me out of here
[01:12:18] um it's okay kylie makes it a little bit more interesting because they sing in unison and the
[01:12:22] production changes up just slightly but once again by the umpteenth i just want to dance alone i was
[01:12:26] ready to skip the song but i was like no i have to finish this for the album review
[01:12:29] oh my god once again just write a better hook that's it um five yeah well first off i just want
[01:12:36] to mention the music video um because at least kylie is in it right and she looks great you know in her
[01:12:42] little scenes on the island um i i want to shout out pauline who i know uh who is the lead dancer
[01:12:49] yeah yeah yeah i met her we were volunteering for like yeah yeah she's oh my gosh she's so good and
[01:12:56] she's the lead dancer in the studio so she should be needed to shout her out because she kills it
[01:13:01] yeah it's pauline she danced with lisa um at the v i mean she danced with lisa for the longest time
[01:13:06] now in dojo but lisa rose recently at the vs show fashion show last week did you watch her i did not
[01:13:11] no they all ate it up first of all but nice yeah anyway yeah needed to shout that out yes but yeah
[01:13:19] anyway you're giving it a five yeah i'm still at a five hour okay i'll give it a six i think it's at
[01:13:25] least better than my oh my you know i don't yeah like i that one i would definitely would skip i think
[01:13:33] if this one came on i would at least let it play but it's not on any of the playlists so that will
[01:13:39] likely not happen but you know that is such a valid see you wait for things in perspective i'm
[01:13:43] gonna keep my score but that makes sense why you said that okay okay okay okay um i do want to know
[01:13:49] because i know some people will say this the vinyl version does have a different track listing so
[01:13:55] the collabs are more spread out so the album actually opens with my oh my yeah and then it
[01:14:01] still ends with dance alone but but edge of saturday night and midnight rider in the middle and people
[01:14:05] have said that that sequencing feels better actually because he's right the way it is on the digital
[01:14:11] like the four collabs just kind of feel like they were just tacked on at the end yeah a-holes um yeah
[01:14:16] wanted to just shout that out but anyway uh we have finished the track by track review yeah so we're
[01:14:24] moving on to our cut or keep section okay so i think it's pretty obvious i would cut my oh my
[01:14:32] not even a question crazy not even a question i think if if we don't count the collabs because
[01:14:37] they're like pseudo bonus tracks like kind of if we don't count the collabs um oh i'd probably cut
[01:14:43] hello oh okay even though i think it actually has a place on this album but just thinking of it
[01:14:49] in the full era yeah i would probably cut that or maybe should have left yet but no no you can't
[01:14:56] take all of them no i'm just like the ones i'm considering yeah that's why because i was thinking
[01:15:01] about either hello or should have left you but i think should have left okay i said it should have been
[01:15:05] left on the cuter room floor so that was the way i was like yeah i'm already that's fair i mean i
[01:15:09] it's the one kind of slower more sentimental moment on here so i think it like has its place but yeah
[01:15:15] i know what you mean yeah but that's why i was also choosing between the two yeah dang it y'all
[01:15:20] write a better hook y'all come on now
[01:15:25] oh gosh okay and then the favorite what would you keep oh this i'm definitely it's a lot obvious i feel
[01:15:30] like um i'm probably gonna just keep um someone for me i love that one so yeah it's so good i think
[01:15:36] it's kylie's favorite as well she's shut it out a few times and it was the push as we said i can't i
[01:15:41] don't know if it's an actual single we'll see um i'd be cool if it gets a visual or something but
[01:15:45] anyway um yeah i mean mine's pretty obvious too i would go good as gone i think it's super super fun
[01:15:50] yeah and i would pick that one if they need one more single from this album so
[01:15:54] yeah that was valid for you yeah absolutely yeah okay overall thoughts the original tension is
[01:16:02] good it's strong i feel like it has more clear influences in the 80s genre which is why we have
[01:16:08] kind of like the ballad moments and things like that in comparison to the deluxe we had like those
[01:16:13] extra tracks and the comparison to what we're listening now attention to attention to feels
[01:16:17] like it was definitely meant for the curb for sure um it feels a lot more cold and digital and it
[01:16:24] makes sense like the kind of like a two sides of a gemini she's using that the zodiac sign for gemini
[01:16:29] for two and the roman numeral essentially if you want to kind of count that as well but yeah i mean
[01:16:34] it makes sense for her to go from this like love struck romantic kind of version of herself to kind
[01:16:39] of going into this i'm just trying to get nasty i don't know if you like me or not but i'm gonna let
[01:16:43] you know i like you or like hello i'm at your door or like like camera action that's it that's all
[01:16:50] that's on me are the lights and the camera i'm giving you action so i feel like this one is
[01:16:57] good ish good ish um and i only say that because obviously this is not like you know showing any kind
[01:17:04] of like musical growth as much as it is letting her kind of spread her rings and wings and have fun
[01:17:10] so i appreciate this um there are some songs i'm like why is this on here um but i mean if you
[01:17:16] have enough songs to make another album why the heck not but it's gonna be kind of one of those
[01:17:19] like funky little like oh wait hang on um it's not like a technical technical album that we want to
[01:17:25] consider like part of her discography but it is you know it's kind of like one of those like weird
[01:17:29] like push and pull moments i think i would say i'd like tension the original more mayhaps i think i may
[01:17:38] like it a little bit more but this one was fun i like to stay like i mean it feels on trend
[01:17:45] without her trying to sound like she's on nondescript i'll say that yeah so yeah it sounds
[01:17:49] trendy but like at least it sounds like it's a kylie song yes i agree with that yeah what about you
[01:17:55] yeah i yeah i think this album is is fine like it has some good songs on it i think it does kind of
[01:18:02] it's all kind of bit front-loaded um for sure like those first five or six tracks i think are all super
[01:18:07] strong and then it kind of uh i don't know dies a little bit there for me yeah um and i will say
[01:18:17] like yeah definitely i don't think of it as a standalone project at all it does kind of feel like
[01:18:23] a collection of just extra songs uh just like you know yeah it is just like a glorified deluxe which
[01:18:31] i'm not mad at all like very happy to have more music um and like i said earlier you know padam
[01:18:39] padam was kind of a bit of an outlier on the tension album yeah like there wasn't much else that kind of
[01:18:46] fit the same energy like maybe green light like i don't know some of the others had a little bit of
[01:18:50] that but most of it was the like 80s kind of warmer brighter stuff that you were just talking about so
[01:18:56] right then adding kind of more of this kind of uh villain-esque stuff to just the whole project
[01:19:04] makes sense right so i think this whole era does feel more fleshed out now which is great especially
[01:19:09] with the tour coming up as well like i'm very grateful that we she has like like 20 plus songs
[01:19:16] to choose from like it's gonna be crazy to see kind of how they do this set list because obviously she
[01:19:21] has to balance what like 80 singles or whatever and she always tends to throw in like a random deep
[01:19:28] cut from a couple albums ago too you know like she'll she'll throw in some stuff and maybe a cover
[01:19:32] too um so yeah just exciting that this whole world is like so fleshed out yeah it feels like it's
[01:19:39] completed now it's like yeah we also say about tension and the tension feeling in the air exactly
[01:19:45] yeah and of course very thankful for this whole project because we have both had like these
[01:19:51] crazy opportunities to to kind of be a part of this whole promotional schedule as well so even
[01:19:56] though some of these songs are like i do think the tension album had more highs like i don't think any of
[01:20:02] these songs are as good as the things we do for love and tension and hold on to now um but you know
[01:20:08] they're still really good and and fun and now i have memories of kylie like singing almost the entire
[01:20:15] album like right at me you know so yeah yeah yeah for sure for sure so final score final score uh
[01:20:26] oh seven probably a 7.5 i think if i average this all out it probably ends up as that
[01:20:35] yeah yeah that's valid oh no yeah it's not it's not as good as tension like i said and definitely
[01:20:43] i'm just going to discuss this cool oh but yeah shoot i'll just match you because i don't want to
[01:20:50] give it too low because seven is i feel like seven is like too middle of the road because there are
[01:20:54] some highlights on here yes that makes sense yeah i think it's i think what drags it down are some of the
[01:20:59] collabs that's yeah yeah yeah damn okay well 7.5 yeah there it is that's the reason dang it okay let
[01:21:09] us know what you all think about the album what would you rate all the songs as well and of course let us
[01:21:14] know what other albums you'd like to hear us review like if we did one more highly throwback
