    May well be the best album of her career.

    Body Language isn’t so much a massive artistic leap as it is a total distillation of her sound and style.

    Body Language finds Kylie partying like it's 1987 all over again, only minus the dubious millinery and Jason Donovan, taking inspiration from the likes of Kool and the Gang and Prince to pleasing if not always memorable effect.

    A suite of weak songs and half-finished ideas. [Mar 2004, p.120]

    Its one of the Kylies best , "ever", much more mature, crative and fresh. Timeless, it is the bridge to connect America (even south) with her. Her creativity never ends.… Collapse

    Those expecting Fever Part 2 will be very let down. However, if it's a sassy, classy album, full of fun and shiney noises then this is the one for you. Forget your expectations and judge this collection of songs on their own merits, you'll really enjoy it. HONEST!! :o)… Expand

    One of her best, although she really needs to grow up and stop thinking about money. She is definetely a singles artist, and her only great album was Impossible Princess, since then its been all about making commercial pop/dance songs. She wrote very few of these tracks, so she can not claim credit for the experimental tracks here. It gets a 6 because of Slow - her best ever single, and a few tracks towards the end. Her best since IP (8/10) but that still isnt saying much… Expand

    Derivative, weak, substanceless, and insipid are the words that should really describe this album....I couldn't quite believe the woman singing such naive unsophisticated lyrics was actually 36 y/o....shocking! it defintely does not deserve such praise as it has got here. Kylie's Grammy win was a joke too, with such a weak album that so obviously was rushed they had to give it to here to get America interested again. Unfortunately this stands as Minogue's worst recording....EVER!… Expand
