It is sometimes compared to the "Confession on the dancefloor" because of Madonna also produced by Stuart Price, but "Confession" was more uneven, with a super tube that are not found here, but a lot of filler tracks.
Kylie, little filling. The average sustained quality in a homogeneous album containing no exceptional piece looks more like the "Neon Night" Dannii, the little sister of Kylie. Here too, all songs of the same style, but each with something special.
ALL THE LOVERS ****: Good choice as the first single. Instead of "2 hearts" to "X", piece very representative of the album.
GET OUTTA MY WAY *****: Like "Wow" before, this is an attempt to renew the success of "Love at first sight". Most successful attempt that "Wow". Even if it does not equal "Love at first sight", this very catchy song is difficult first listen but gaining momentum thereafter and will rightly chosen as the second single.
PUT YOUR HANDS UP ****: Piece not very original but has the advantage of being accessible from the first listen.
**** CLOSER: A pleasant surprise as this mid-tempo demonstrated research, provided that not too fazed by the introduction that looks like a concert ducks.
EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL **: The album should not include ballad, but do not mince words, this piece can hardly be called a mid-tempo. This is indeed a ballad, and far from the best of Kylie.
APHRODITE ****: Surprising sounds, originality, a great success.
** ILLUSION: Just like track 5, a ballad by filling office.
BETTER THAN TODAY *****: One of the best songs on the album with a great intro synths that are several times afterwards and a real originality in the melody.
TOO MUCH ****: If she does not reach the quality "In my arms", the new composition of Calvin Harris is well ridge and you can listen with great pleasure.
CUPID BOY *****: Probably the most wanted piece of the album with a particularly imaginative melody. No wonder when you know that this is an Italian production.
LOOKING FOR AN ANGEL ***: Pleasant on first listen, but the endless repetition of "Looking for an angel" quickly becomes tiresome.
CAN NOT BEAT THE FEELING **: I can not join, no wonder that this song has been chosen as the last track of the album.
Once again, Kylie Seduction has pulled it off: when we start to love one can not do without.
The only reservation we could issue is the absence of exceptional tube like "In my arms" on the previous album, probably a result of the unity of the album where no securities outperforms other. As to whether the album will stand the time, only the future will tell, but this is generally the case for albums of Kylie, except perhaps for Body Language which was quickly outdated.
Commercial success seems to be at the rendezvous, more than for the previous album anyway. This time, the release date was carefully chosen: what better than the beginning of the summer to release a dance album? And what a beautiful picture, which gives really want to buy the album! The opposite of "X". Result: Obviously number one in England when it was released, the album also swept the top 3 places of the main European countries. Even France, where Kylie is often difficult to win, offered him a 3rd place!
I bought two editions, I recommend rather simple editing for editing with bonus DVD does not add much, except the beautiful American version of "Confide in me," resumed "Showgirl Tour "2005, up dancer who is the same! But this edition is of little practical presentation, with a possible CD out without putting fingers above, unlike simple editing, classic but very satisfactory.
