Tension [Deluxe Casebound Book]

Who in 1988 would have thought that Kylie would still be around in 2023, much less releasing stellar albums? Over the last few decades Ms. Minogue has proven herself to be a risk taker and unafraid to alter the direction of her music, producing strong work that never seems to get its critical due. This is album #16 and her music is as strong as ever. The material on this album is (for the most part) stellar, and there are no missteps, save perhaps for the brevity of some of the best tracks. It's fun, it's dance-pop, and a nice antidote to the current musical climate with it's chart stagnation.

Kylie is a pop icon for a reason, and she just keeps getting better! You can't stay in a bad mood if you play this album at high volume! Not a dull song on the album! Pop/dance euphoria that you won't be able to get out of your head!

This is easily one of the best Kylie Minogue's albums, if not the best! I can't even choose one favorite: 'Vegas High', 'Hold On To Now', 'Story', 'Just Imagine', 'Somebody To Love', 'You Still Get Me High' and 'Things We Do For Love'. Those are among the strongest tracks of the album; but you can't ignore the amazing collaboration with Oliver Heldens '10 out of 10', which pretty much opened the door to this amazing DJ I've never heard from before. Not to mention, Kylie has done hundreds of collaborations with artists who otherwise would've been unknown, and then the collaborations she did with huge personalities like: Gloria Gaynor, Enrique Iglesias, Gente De Zona, Dua Lipa, Years and Years and Nick Cave, just to mention the very few that come to my mind right now. Kylie Minogue is a Diva, a Queen, an icon and the image of class, strength and determination. Get this amazing album if you haven't and check her other work: Disco, Light Years, Fever, Aphrodite and Golden to name a few!!

I've been a fan of Kylie since the 90s and it was so awesome to see her have such a massive come back moment with this album! My friend was absolutely in love with the new lead single, so I had to get them this album and they were so excited to have it! I was hoping there would be more pictures in the booklet, but it's all just lyrics, which is fine. Great build quality overall and nice to look at.

Pop perfection, es Kylie es tension. Es mas de lo que puedo pedir y ese book 💛

This was a enjoyable album overall. There were a couple of tracks I wasn't crazy about but still nothing I would skip. That being said overall I felt like Padam and to a lesser extent Tension were just so much better than the rest of the album. I picked up the Deluxe edition because I'm a physical media collector and I love to have the extra tracks as well as any photo/media books. As far as the extra tracks they were ok. I'd say Love Train was the weakest for me and Somebody to Love was the best of the three. The media book itself on the other hand was extremely disappointing. It was just a few pages of lyrics for all the tracks. There were only two photos of Kyle and one I would barely consider a photo. The CD was also really scratched up as well which is sadly typical for CD loosely held in cardboard. Had lots of skipping issues with the second track. But after cleaning it with a micro cloth it seemed to play ok after, hopefully it stays that way on a second listen of the album. Overall I'd suggest saving some money and just getting the standard edition of the album unless you really must have those extra tracks. Because for the media book it's not worth it at all. Standout tracks for me were Padam which is above and beyond the best of the album. Followed by of course the title track Tension. One other for me was the track Story. I really liked this one a lot. Something about the chorus reminded me of another song that I can't quite put my finger on but I liked it a lot.

Kylie continues her string of top-notch late-career albums. This one has a modern production with strong 80s/90s sensibilities. Kylie sounds great! Bravo!

Tension is easily one of Kylie Minogue’s best album in years. This album deserves to take the top spot alongside her 2001-2 album Fever, and 2010’s Aphrodite. Tension is a true Kylie album at its best: addictive, heart pumping, love, sexual attraction, relationships, and most of all, fun. Kylie fans will be playing this one on repeat for years to come.

Por fin he podido hacerme con la edición deluxe en cd. Estando acostumbrado a las versiones extended que salieron de los temas en vinilo, las del album no están nada mal y suenan bastante bien. Un disco con muchos toques de los 80's (incluso algunos de los 90's) que recomiendo si te gusta lo que sigue haciendo Kylie. Está claro que por ella no pasan los años

Disco pop dance di kelie minogye piacevole

Great songs . I am a fan . I’m also old school and still play cds

Nachdem "Padam Padam" im Mai erschienen ist, war ich erst etwas skeptisch...dann brannte sich der Song so in mein Hirn, daß ich dachte: "So lange muss ich noch auf das Album warten?!" Nun halte ich es in Händen und es ist großartig geworden. Man kann über Kylie sagen was man will, aber sie liefert immer gute Arbeit ab..darauf ist Verlass. Sie hatte in einem Videopost gesagt, wie aufgeregt sie sei und sei gespannt, welchen Song wir am Besten finden würden. Tja, ich enttäusche die Princess of Pop (oder inzwischen Queen?) ungern, doch leider kann ich keinen benennen. Jeder einzelne hat ein gewisses Etwas, was ihn hervorragend macht...auch wenn mir, und das ist das einzige Manko an dem Album, eine richtige Ballade fehlt. Aber ich bin froh mir das Deluxe Album gekauft zu haben, da die Bonustracks einfach dazugehören.

Génial 🙂
