ranking Kylie's albums would be nearly impossible, there's stuff to love about every one of them, so I'm not even gonna attempt that. I remember being horrified the first time I heard a snippet of "Slow" online - Fever was the album that made me a Kylie fan, so I was hoping/expecting more of the same style on the follow-up album...now, "Slow" EASILY ranks among my Top 20 favorite Kylie tunes. such a deliciously sexy track. <3 favorite tracks on BL = "Slow", "Red Blooded Woman", "Chocolate" (obvious picks, I know), "Secret (Take You Home)", "Sweet Music", "Slo Motion" "you'll never get to heaven if you're scared of getting hiiiiiigh..."Goddess, I love "Slo Motion." Of the gigantic amount of Kylie's back catalog that has been released to the US iTunes recently, I'm upset that it's not part of what's there. I also can't get enough of "City Games," "Loving Days," "Almost a Lover," "After Dark," "Obsession," and "Secret (Take You Home)" Initially though, and me being only 13, I didn't like this album because it was such a departure from Fever and the little bits of Light Years I'd heard on the internet. It didn't even sound much like her 90s stuff I discovered when I got the Australian import of Hits+ at Best Buy!

One track that took me years to like was "I Feel For You". I used to think it was awful, but I can tolerate it now.

I've been revisiting all of her albums since KMO has launched... I've always thought this was one of her strongest albums, but after going through her discography the past few weeks, it's probably my favorite now. By far her most consistent album IMO. I just love the overall sound she went for with this, a little bit of dance and especially the pop/R&B lite. So underrated and I think the bullsh*t flack she got when this was released is ridiculous. "Slow" is PERFECTION, I personally think it's her best single. "Chocolate" is just gorgeous. The only song I don't care for is "I Feel For You." I really wish that had been replaced with one of the B-sides, "City Games" or "Almost A Lover" in particular.
The videos for this era were on point, the artwork was impeccable throughout the era (well, the "Chocolate" single cover was meh), her Brigitte Bardot inspired fashion was so sexy and the B-sides and bonus tracks were all solid IMO. Just a flawless era outside of the chart performance.
I want a reissue with all the bonus tracks and B-sides please!

I want a reissue with all the bonus tracks and B-sides please! it's been said before, but it certainly bears repeating: Kylie is the QUEEN of high-quality bonus tracks and B-sides! although I don't think the BL era was her absolute best when it comes to bonus tracks and B-sides (that would probably be Fever, thanks to the likes of "Baby", "Whenever You Feel Like It", "Harmony", and especially "Tightrope"), there were still several great tunes that didn't make the standard tracklist. - "Almost A Lover" (2nd favorite, behind SM) - "City Games" - "Cruise Control" - "Slo Motion" (favorite of the bunch) - "Soul On Fire" (only one of the bunch I really don't care for) - "You Make Me Feel" not to mention several gems that leaked but were never officially released in any way: - "I'm Sorry" - "On The Up" - "Trippin' Me Up" (among many others...)

My favorite Kylie album along with Fever! I remember borrowing it from the library one time and couldn't stop listening it. I can listen to it from start to finish. Not a single track that I don't like. I love "Chocolate", "I Feel For You", "Obsession", and "Red Blooded Woman".
