Its been 2 years now since release and i cant believe that this album is still with me. Usually you get bored of an album after a while but i must admit this one is the first iv never tired of! Theres everything from cool electro pop (in my arms, like a drug, and especially the amazing speakerphone) to pure pop of old kylie in "wow"... Then some stunning ballads so very personal to kylie "cosmic" and the sublime "no more rain"- one of her very best songs!.. The amazing pop masterpiece that is "the one" which was cruelly only physically released with a late video as the 4th single in the uk... This is a pop album way above the rest. Its sold well with almost half a million sales in the uk and over a million worldwide... But it deserved way better in my opinion as the very best kylie album! Buy it!

There's so much to love about this album - from the pure uplifting pop of 'No More Rain' to the electro dance of 'In My Arms', it's everything that you'd hope from Kylie. It's bizarre that the album's huge standout track ' 'The One' was given such a poor promotional push (no physical release, dull remix, video released weeks too late for tv exposure). It's an amazing, anthemic pop song in which the Freemasons once again locate the exact spot where joy and heartache intersect. Throw in the glam-pop of '2 Hearts', the PWL-style joy of 'Wow' and the modern r'n'b of 'All I See' and it's easily the best collection of Kylie's career so far. Yes, the album sleeve is hideous and the font used makes the credits unreadable. Granted 'Nu-di-ty' is a dire sub-Britney mess. But taken as a whole it's that rarest of things - a credible, shimmering, fun piece of pop that sustains the course of an album.

This seems to be underated, everyone who I have played it too does have an initial impression, its a shame the lyrics are not included on the sleeve. The songs though have also seen a new breath of life on the X2008 live dvd which also may show some songs to there true potential...
