  1. This is a brilliant pop album. It's pure Kylie pop - hummable, sensual, fun & euphoric. It contains fantastic goddess-like dancefloor anthems like All The Lovers, Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love), Cupid Boy and Can't Beat The Feeling as well as elegant chants like Illusion, Everything is Beautiful and Looking For An Angel. All in all, I think it's Kylie's best album, especially because of the amazing production work by Stuart Price, who successfully manages to put the album together as 'a whole piece' of music. Expand
  2. This album is proof positive that one can do perfect pop, or as close to him. In times when Pop has become extremely commercialized, Minogue arrives with a proposal dancepop in fact nothing much up there, but listening to him you realize what is possible dancepop for your headphones, without any aggression by strikes very heavy. Generally speaking, Aphrodite is one of the best pop albums of 2010. Highlighting the "All The Lovers" and "Get Outta My Way. " Worth a listen. Expand
  3. Kylie Minogue does her best at staying current in todays electronic climate with an album of summery breezy disco-pop which works 100%. Amazingly produced and well timed. A fresh alternative to the caustic and angry Gaga. Collapse
  4. It might not be X. But it's certainly got something. It offers current music, classis pop music, beautiful music and sometimes alternative sounding music. Yes Kylie might take a little too much insiration from the artists she works with at times, but you cannot deny the woman knows what she's doing. If you want a good electro/pop album, this is definalty for you, and even if you don't, you are bound to like at least one track from this rather good album. Expand
