The beats here are fantastic. You have fans here and we love you. Kylie's best CD yet. This entire album is loaded on my IPod and I've listened to it so many times I know every word. I'll just ask-Don't give up on the States Kylie. You don't need prozac when you've got Kylie. Can't believe we're forced to listen to Brit's synthesized junk when we've got Kylie's melodies.
I won't go into a more extensive review because a lot of good comments have been made here about Kylie's lack of attention in the US. But geez, that's only if I have to pick, because frankly I plug this in and listen to every song on here over and over again.
My only explanation is that Americans are a lot more pessimistic than Australians and Kylie's music is upbeat and fun. And Kylie's voice is like butter.I LOVE all the songs on this album but my absolute favorites are Rain and All I See.
Every song on here is an absolute hit. The lyrics charming.
I can't wait for your next album. I can't believe this girl hasn't shot to number one in America.
Kylie has a fantastic voice and her music is great.
I love the fact that this album has both its dance songs like "speakerphone" and "Heart Beat Rock" and its ballards like "No More Rain" and "Cosmic". I love this album, from the moment I heard 'All I See' featuring Mims to when I heard the song '2 Hearts' I was hooked. Over all Kylie Minogue hits her mark and scores expectionally well with her 10th studio ablum. The website asscebile songs "Rippin' Up the Disco" is awesome as well and should have been inluded on the ablum. This one of best albums I heard yet this year. I enjoyed every song on the ablum except for 'Sensitized'.
It is in the same vein of her previous albums' track, "Secret (Take You Home)." "All I See" is a cool, smooth slice of Urban/Dance-pop which would have easily become a Summertime hit soon after its release. "No More Rain" 9/108. The only songs I did not enjoy that first are "Speakerphone" and "Nu-di-ty." I still don't care for the unnecessary edit of "All I See" feat. "Sensitized" 10/106. Then perhaps "X" would not be one the "Best Pop Albums of 2008 that the public at large in North America missed out on". Thanks. "Wow" 10/1012. The lyrics are very good as well.
However, the continued ignorance of U.S. "No More Rain" is a pleasant ballad. Here is my rating of each song.1. It is a pleasant surprise. It allows Kylie's voice to spread so one can hear and her full voice. The song "When The Cat Walks" would have better superior addition to the album instead of this useless edit of "All I See." On the slower side "Cosmic" is the best ballad on the album.
"Nu-di-ty" 7.5/1013. "Stars" 9/1011. "All I See" 10/1010. "In My Arms" 10/104. After purchasing "X" from Curcuit City, six months before it when out of business, I was excited. She sound sincerely and assured. "Wow" became a U.S. Much of the remainder of the album took more than two plays for me to warm up to.
"The One" 10/109. The music video for "In My Arms" was televised on "Entertainment Studios" one night. It should have left off of the the U.S. "Like A Drug" 8/103. "Speakerphone" 8/105. radio programmers outside of the Dance and Adult Contemporary radio formats prevented it from become a hit record.
Overall, "X" is a solid record that deserved to have at least decent promotion for the album and its singles pushed on various radio formats. The first song I played on the album was "In My Arms." I enjoyed it immediately. The song peaked at #3 on the Hot Dance/Club Play chart. edition of the album. "Sensitized" is another sensual Dance-pop song that suits Kylie well.
However, the production of it makes the song, especially during the bridge, it is difficult to hear. Again, the Dance music fans and market responded to "All I See" and its remixes. This edit adds nothing that would make it better than the original. chart hit, peaking at #19 on the Hot Dance Airplay chart. It is not a bad thing. The Nu-Disco song "Wow" and the edgier "In My Arms" are immediate crowd pleasers.
"2 Hearts" 8/102. "Heart Beat Rock" is a cleverly written and produced Pop-Rap song that could easily be redited into a Dance-pop Dancefloor track. Mims. "Heart Beat Rock" 10/107. "Cosmic" 10/10 "X" is an album that unlike all of her other albums, does not have a concept or conhesive, unitifed sound.
Really more experimental and creative than I initially thought. 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. I did not initially like this CD all that much when I first listened to it. Fun. 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". 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. The other tracks grew on me.
5/5 always for Kylie ^_^ 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.
