I Guess I Like It Like This
Kylie Minogue's fourth album "Let's Get to It" is quite an underrated album. It starts with "Word Is Out", the song I hated at first but now I guess I like it somehow. "Give Me a Just a Little More Time" and "Finer Feelings" are my favourites from this album. They tell about waiting the true love. The lyrics in "Finer Feelings"..."What Is Love Without the Finer Feelings? It's Just Sex Without the Sensual Healing. Passion Dies Without Some Tender Meanings. It Ain't Love Without the Finer Feelings.". "If You Were With Me Now" is Kylie's duet with Keith Washington. It is quite a sad and good ballad. "Let's Get to It"...well, I usually skip it. "Right Here, Right Now" is a good song for a change. "Live And Learn" and "Too Much of a Good Thing" are quite basic pop tracks...although they have great lyrics. "No World Without You" is a great peaceful ballad. Kylie sings very beautifully and in a touching way it. "I Guess I Like It Like That" is a great dance pop song...it is happy and the vocals are just great.

I Guess I Like It... Like THAT
Word Is Out is great. (Single: #16)
Give Me Just A Little More Time is great. (Single: #2)

If You Were With Me Now is great. (Single: #4)
Let's Get To It is brilliant.
Right Here Right Now is brilliant.
Live And Learn is brilliant.
No World Without You is brilliant.
She sings "without you" like another viewer suggested, instead of "witou-choo" like others would sing.
I Guess I Like It Like That is a brilliant dance track. (Un-noticed single: #49)
This dance track goes on for 6 minutes and also features Tony King and the Visionmasters.
Tony King has remixed such hits as Let's Get To It and Step Back In Time.
Out of interest Step Back In Time was a single and charted at #4.
Let's Get To It charted at #15 in the UK and spent 12 weeks on the Top 100 UK Albums Chart.
It's as simple as that. (Or not so simple!)
Possible the finest of Kylie's SAW period ...
Most reviews on this very page agree with me that this is possibly the finest LP of Kylie's SAW period ... the "credible" music press certainly did, so I find it impossible to believe that anyone could think it was as bad as maybe two of the reviews would have you believe. This LP contains what I consider to be Kylie's most underrated single, "Word is Out," (famously her first to miss the top ten)with its irresistible groove (the single version more so than the one here). "Finer Feelings" contains an impressive vocal that really demonstrates how Kylie's voice is much stronger than her early hits show. "Give Me just a Little More Time," the Chairman of the Board classic, may be a paint-by-numbers cover, but it too has an unyielding clap-your-hands kind of beat to it, and fine piano work, which makes it sound like the famous production team really put more into the instrumentation of this remake than most of their covers. "Right Here Right Now" is a spirited kick-ass album track that could've been a single, and the final track, worth the price of admission alone, "I Guess I Like it Like That" shows that Stock Waterman could really let go when they wanted, and is one of the reasons I am a Kylie disciple; the song could hold its own with any nineties disco anthem, and should make all wallflowers swamp the dancefloor. If you are going to have filler, then it might as well be "Let's Get to It," with its shuffling rhythm and instrumental break, but "If You Were With Me Now," the hit duet with Keith Washington, was not worthy of a single release in my book, and even comes across inferior to Kylie's earlier sappy duet, "Especially for You." As an American fan, this album dates from the days when Kylie's output was only available to us stateside fans as an import. I know Yanks have a reputation of liking more R&B influenced music, but that is not the case with me, or why I recommend this album to all Kylie fans, new and old. I tend to like Kylie's music best when she experiments and tests the boundaries, not content to rely on stale advice or past success, and "Let's Get to It" is a fine example of Kylie finally taking control.
