    I love this album so much. It's so elegant. The single choices could've been better, but that has no impact on the album's greatness. Kylie has really wowed me with this album. So beautiful.

    Kylie is amazing on this album! All the Lovers is my favorite track along with "Illusion". You never can get enough of Kylie! I would suggest listening to this album over and over

    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.

    This album is proof positive that one can do perfect pop, or as close to him.

    Pure pop perfection! That's how POP must sound! Kylie at her best! Though album becomes a little bit boring at the end, Kylie still rocks! The best songs for me are All The Lovers, Get Outta My Way and Closer.

    There's just one word to say what this album is: MASTERPIECE. Perfect lyrics with perfect sounds, for me, the best album in Miss Minogue's career. She is so talented.

    This album is a masterpiece, it's well thought and perfectly produced. All you'd expect in a Kylie album.

    All the songs are very good pop-dance songs - very Kylie - but there's not one song that stands out. It's too cohesive - I don't know is that such a bad thing, though. In conclusion - it tends to get boring...

    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.

    Kylie Minogue and Stuart Price have created a stunning dance record. It could almost be considered Kylie's answer to 'Confessions on a Dancefloor', if it wasn't for the smattering of filler tracks and lack of personal songs. That said, Kylie has always played to her strengths, she's not an overly deep artist. It's a fun and impeccably produced dance album - which is part of her legacy.

    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.

    Though the singles are excellent the rest of the album leaves a little something to be desired. Perhaps if there was more lyrical detail rather than focus on the theme this may have been stronger. Download: All The Lovers, Aphrodite, Better than Today

    Kylie Minogue is one of the biggest DIVAS of the universe. The best album of her to me, is Aphrodite. This album is amazing, it can't get any worse or better. Better Than Today's wonderful, my favorite from the album. Too bad he had been wronged in the estimated sales of 800k to 1 million copies.

    A great album being faithful to a theme. Great production full of good songs, but has a defect: the choice of the song "Better Than Today" for single. This song is not good enough for that, and the album was much better songs.

    A pretty good album, but nothing that stands out.

    It's just very average in general.

    This well-crafted dance-pop album is the definition of perfection at every aspect, although Better Than Today is very monotonous...

    Without a doubt, dance music is his forte, and he has given us an album full of art, not to mention the perfection of the Aphrodite Les Folies Tour.

    I started listening to this album in July and I'm still not tired of it! I continue to hear it always, over time I like all the songs, none excluded. Maybe it's Kylie's best album, it doesn't have invasive sounds but not too light either. Pure pop on this album!

  1. Aphrodite is the work of someone who knows exactly what her skills are and who to hire to help showcase them to perfection.
  2. Aphrodite is pure Kylie magic. Everything that made you fall in love with her all over again before is present and correct here.
  3. The new set casts a spell with Stuart Price's signature preternatural touches, Minogue's breathy chirp and the hooky melodies of a varied crew of dance pop-focused songwriters and producers.
