  • Summary: This high-energy dance album from the Australian veteran includes the UK hit single "Can't Get You out of My Head." It is her first American release since 1988, although she has retained her popularity in Europe and her native Australia since the 1980's, updating her sound along the way.

  1. A perfect album of gorgeous dance music.
  2. Not one weak track, not one misplaced syrupy ballad to ruin the groove. The winning streak continues.

    The sophistication of its upbeat electro-pop construction allows Kylie to fly while her contemporaries simply float. [Apr 2002, p.77]
  4. Fast, full of old-fashioned hooks and newfangled techno hiccups, campy as a tent full of Boy Scouts and yet easy on the cheese.
  5. An album that exudes both class and conviction, and it's a welcome breather from the avalanche of beautiful introspection that's come to characterise 2001.
  6. Featuring no less than 15 different songwriters, Fever is step-aerobic heaven, each song shiny, bouncy and as expertly arranged, if ultimately soulless, as one would expect from so many contributors.
  7. An astoundingly bland helping of hollow dance pop grooves and nauseating pleas for sex.

    Pop/Dance album masterpiece. There is arguably NO weak track on this cohesive album.
    Highlights are the record breaking "Can't Get You Out of My Head", the cheerful "Love at First Sight", the immersive "In Your Eyes", and some other hidden gems like "Love Affair", "Your Love".
    The b-sides/extras from that era were amazing tracks as well, from "Rendezvous at Sunset" to "Good Like That", without forgetting the timeless "Tightrope".

    Her comeback began with the underrated "Light Years", who was one of the best popalbums in 2000. After that succes comes Fever, which is just Her comeback began with the underrated "Light Years", who was one of the best popalbums in 2000. After that succes comes Fever, which is just as good, maybe even better. You feel the atmosphere of being in a nightclub wearing high heel pumps. It is a 'glad to be female' album... Highligts are "Love at first sight", "CGYOMH", "Fever", "Fragile" and "Your Love". Expand

    This has got to be one of my favorite music albums of all time. Almost every single track for me is a banger. The opening song, "More MoreThis has got to be one of my favorite music albums of all time. Almost every single track for me is a banger. The opening song, "More More More", starts things off on a very high note with an insanely catchy beat that would fit right at home on a fashion runway. The next song, "Love at First Sight", is my absolute favorite. It always makes me want to dance and I never get tired of hearing it. Her other jams like "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", "In Your Eyes", and "Dancefloor" are also very groovy and get me in the zone. "Your Love" is another one of my favorites with a sweeter tone that elicits strong emotions. As far as dance pop goes, nothing beats this album. Expand
