 X-emplary November 24, 2008
I did not initially like this CD all that much when I first listened to it. I put it on my iPod and would listen to a few tracks every now and then...my favorite track is "The One" - a really beautiful synth dance track. And I always liked "Like a Drug" which has a "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" vibe and "All I See Is You". The other tracks grew on me. I think when I saw "2 Hearts" on a TV commercial is when I thought...this is pretty good and then I started playing the whole CD on my iPod more and it clicked with me. Her sound is not particularly of the moment but it's classic pop dance music - elements of Kraftwerk and T-Rex/Goldfrapp. Really more experimental and creative than I initially thought. Fun.

This Cd is really cool. It does have a really different style from the one Kylie uses but i think it is great that she could do something different this time. 5/5 always for Kylie ^_^

In my eyes I thought this Kylie cd was a great come back for her. The cd is fantastic, full of the pop music that she is famous for.
I live in the US and was not aware of Kylie at all until this album. I grew up knowing who Madonna was and I never really liked her. So I always thought pop was a horrible style of music. But Kylie changed my perspective on the style and now i own more Kylie cds and I am totally addicted
In My Arms and Wow are the best songs on the album in my eyes. They are both fun and are great pop songs
Speakerphone and Sensitized are fantastic as well. I didn't like either of them at first but they really grew on me.
All I See is probably the worst song on the album because of how basic it is. But I still like it a lot.
No More Rain is about Kylie's fight with cancer and I really adore it. It sometimes makes me cry when i really think about what the words mean.
Stars and Cosmic seem to be the least popular. I wasn't a fan of either and thought Cosmic was really bad. But after hearing it more and more I thought both of these songs were pretty good and Cosmic is a great song for Kylie's voice.
I don't really like 2 Hearts and sounds quite strange with the oohing but it still is a fun song.
The One is becoming one of her best songs on the album. I never thought much of it until it came out as a single and now I know how fabulous it really is. A real Kylie hit.
Other songs on the album are Like A Drug, Heart Beat Rock, and Nu-di-ty. All these songs I rate as normal. They are all fun and great but nothing special.
If anyone is wondering if they should waste money on a pop album, it should be this one because you won't be sorry. Kylie comes back with a bang and these pop songs never get old.

Let's go back to 1991 when she released Let's Get To It. She tried her hands at R&B. In 2003 she revived her R&B side again with the album release of Body Language, with the hits of Slow, Red Blooded Woman and Chocolate, which was originally intended to be a duet with rapper Ludacris. Even on the album, the hit song Secret, she started to rap. As for X its has more of a R&B/Hip Hop feel.
2 Hearts: short but it was the debut single a rock song.
Like A Drug: Agressive track with catchy and sexy verses. Best song of the album.
In My Arms: more of a disco track and electronica
Speakerphone: Here we go with the hip hop side which contains samples of Lisette Melendez Together Forever and Tony Touch The Greatest DJ.
Sensatized: The 5th Song Dance diva Cathy Dennis wrote for her. It easy to recognized a Cathy Dennis track.
Heartbeat Rock: This track is simply amazing. All Rap Verses. 1/2 rap song on this album.
The One: Takes me back to Light Years with Under the Influence.
No More rain: don't Like
All I See: Like it but the remix with MIMS is even better and more of a Hip Hop Track something like Neyo would Do
Stars: Another Light Years Feel.
Wow: best dance track and this song will make you very dizzy but most of it its a fun track.
Nu-di-ty: another hip hip rap song. very sexy and cool song
Cosmic the only ballad

All the music material I knew about Minogue was Fever, which was a truly good album. I loved "Can't Get You Out of My Head" that I still keep playing it. :) I also liked "In Your Eyes," "Love at First Sight" and "Come Into My World." I loved it! Then, I heard her song "Slow" from Body Language, and I loved that song too.
She is now back from battling cancer and I think this album is also good. It is definitely a little bit "darker" than Fever but I love it. It's pure Europop! :) It's a shame the album did not do so good in the US. I believe the reason is the lack of promotion. Everywhere I read about it they say same thing and I must agree. The few interviews she did were not enough. It seemed so rushed and really did no promotion for the album. I have seen and heard her concerts are really good productions and we are missing that. Thank you (sarcastically!)! Please whoever is responsible for her promotion, get your little act together and do something. She's well known in other countries but not USA. What's wrong with you?
If you really want to listen to something different and you're tired of all that urban music or rap, I recommend you to buy this album. You will not regret it. :)
