    Disco offers a set of familiar grooves. ... Her comfort zone is effervescence and escapism, in the pursuit of which Disco stays light on its feet and easy on the ear. We’ve heard it all before, but Kylie has the floor, and, honestly, she sounds like she’s having a (glitter)ball.

    Uncool is not bad, and if anything, DISCO could stand more of it: to evoke actual disco in all its frisson and desperation, rather than the remembered-40-years-later version, full of kitsch and clip-art disco balls. The album, with a couple exceptions, has two modes: overly tasteful cruise-ship programming, and gauche rehashes.

With an album called DISCO (in all capitals!), it was obvious that she would putKylie has always been about joy, optimism, and pure escapism. With an album called DISCO (in all capitals!), it was obvious that she would put those things to the forefront, and seriously, who needs anything else after this mess of a year? After her side-projects and experiments in the past decade, this is at last a comeback of the Kylie we all know, but perfected and more confident than ever. She’s unashamedly having fun and delivering pure pop, and she doesn’t even advertise it as anything but.… Full Review »
