It is precisely when the expectations both of the public and the critics simply too high. On the one hand was a "via" hit ala "Can not Get You Out Of My Head" expects Ms. Minogue after recovering from her cancer, but on the other hand a plate with draft, in which they discussed their tale of woe. Seen Kylie's "X" project was probably doomed from the outset to fail. With a very personal work she had scared the pop fans, like the old days with Impossible Princess, and with a pure pop album ala "Fever" or "Lightyears" she would have certainly related critics scolding. Aware Kylie Minogue tried with a "general store", the "X" is undoubtedly to serve both camps. However, such a balancing act in the pop business succeeds extremely rare, since such a compromise is not exactly sexy. "X" has been included neither the fans nor the criticism with rapturous applause. Also, I was not initially impressed much. Wrongly, as I have to say after nearly a half year. For "X" is a plate with long-term effect that combines all that in a charming way, which Kylie has identified in its 20-year career; something indie ("2 Hearts"), a lot of pop ("In My Arms", "Wow", "The One"), experimental things ("Nu-di-ty", "Speakerphone") and also songs with depth (" Cosmic "," No More Rain "). Unlike many other studio albums by Kylie Minogue there are however a little filler.
Conclusion: "X" unfolds its effect only after repeated listening, the plate is never boring. As a studio album, it is perhaps best to date Minogue.
