This is the "Special Edition" to the album "X" it should have been called "X" Supreme or Deluxe! it has the album plus an interview which finds Kylie talking about each song and how they came to be, it contains a photo gallery which has the beautiful "White Diamond" ballad playing, the trailer to "White Diamond" and the video to 2 Hearts and not to mention the beautiful cover artwork and slipcase it has! This is definitely the "X" version to own!

I think this album is phenominal, I loved every single track in it. I couldn't keep myself from listening it. A must-buy for every Kylie fan out there.

After being disappointed with Kylie's last studio album, I was a bit wary of X. Thank heavens my worries were unfounded when I heard a few tracks off the album on a mixed cd a friend made for me. Now that I have heard X in its entirety, I have to say this is definitely a vast improvement over BODY LANGUAGE (which I thought was a dreadful mess). The songs are infectious and addictive. The electro beats reminded me of some of Madonna's music in the last few years like on track 4 "Speakerphone" but a lot catchier. As a breast cancer survivor, Kylie could have easily taken the introspective approach to her new album but she didn't. Instead she created a highly energetic electro-pop album that is a ton of fun to listen to. The melodies are addictively catchy. The only song I didn't care for is "All I See". I didn't care much for the melodies. My personal favorite tracks are: "In My Arms", "Speakerphone", "The One", and "No More Rain" (which is my personal favorite song on the album). I am so glad that Kylie has bounced back from breast cancer and that mess that is called BODY LANGUAGE. She has put out the best pop album I have heard in a long time.

If Madonna's "Hard Candy" just didn't do it for you, You are gonna absolutley LOVE "X" Each song is ABSOLUTLEY AMAZING! i bought the cd purely out of the wonderful reviews that i read. AND OMG i' am so glad i purchased it! The cd is a rush of PURE POP PERFECTION to the head. you actually anticipate the arrival of each and every song.

Here are my favorite traks

Like a Drug
Speakerphone
Nu-Di-Ty
In My Arms
Cosmic
Sensitized
Wow
All I See

The whole cd is a thing to behold, and that is an extremly hard thiing to find these days. so if your craving for AMAZING music hasn't been satisfied. look no where else. Kylie Minogue's new album is a MUST BUY! and a must listen. Don't wait any longer, WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE READING THIS REVIEW. GO BUY IT NOW!

All killer. No filler. This is Kylie's best work to date.

Track after single-worthy track, X listens like a greatest hits CD. Only you better buckle up because the Petite Princess of Pop is gonna seduce you, rock you, serenade you then leave you dazed with excitement. Fresh, unapologetic electro-pop-dance tunes have always been her trademark. And girlfriend drives it home.

Standout tracks include:
Like A Drug - This will be her CGYOOMH when she releases it. Sure-fire monster hit.
In My Arms - Should've been her lead-off single in the US. Her record company is clueless about marketing her in America.
Speakerphone - The opening track to her current world tour. Listen and you'll see what a great entrance this number makes.
The One - Electro-dance heaven for addicts of the hypnotic, pulsing rush.
Stars - Daring rock treatment for a catchy song with an anthemic chorus. I can see hands waving in the arena.
Wow - Bona fide hit already.
Nu-di-ty - Playful, irresistable ear worm. You know it's bad for you.

Enough said. This will be your soundtrack for the summer and beyond.

I am sorry Kylie, i have to say, "NOPE", even though i owned this cd, and sadly to say that i only plays it once.

Any how, i still manage to find at least 2 songs which i thought it served as a consolation to the money i had spent.

Looking forward her forthcoming release either the 11th studio album or a live dvd, who knows? May be.

This for sure is Kylie Minogue best album , she changed the too sexy and usual sound for a good , modern , sparkly and glamurous soundthout losing the sexy ."in my arms" , "like a drug" and "nu-di-ty" are the best songs , but some songs are very strange , like "sensitized" and "speakerphone" when the beautiful voice of Kylie is modified and sound too artificial. Is cool to try to find the bonus tracks too , "rippin' up the disco" and "white diamond" are good tracks and should be on the standart album , replacing the bad songs. This album is a great evolution in comparation to Body Language and Fever. She made this album for a mundial market , but just one song "all i see" for the american market , which remembers of the songs of Mariah Carey or even "one step at a time" of Jordin Sparks.
obs: This album was and still out of stock of the most important retail store of here(Brazil) ,due to the high selling of the album when with was just a pre-order.

No problems with this order, at all.
I received verification of the order immediately.
I was notified of the shipping of the CD the next day.
It arrived 2 days later, without my having to pay for
2 day shipping.

Kylie is the only artist who started off making pop music and 20 years later is still making pop records to perfection. She doesnt just make pop music. She makes bubblegum pop music...my favorite and she does it with no apologies. When i first heard Two Hearts i immediately thought she was going to give us another Impossible Princess. That couldnt be anything further from the truth. While Two Hearts could quite possible be "indie" the rest of the album is pure pop bubblegum heaven with some techno sounding songs too. X has a mish mash of musical styles, indie, bubblegum pop, techno, thats why i like it better than Fever. In My Arms surpasses CGYOOMH as the perfect pop song i think. X has song after song of melodies that wont leave your head. And Wow is WOW!!!! Another incredible song. Kylie Minouge.....pop superstar extrodinaire. She's surpassed herself with X. Buy it today.

Kylie has returned with her tenth full-lenth studio album in force. This album showcases Kylie's phenominal ability to transform yet hold on to the signature sound that has made her a global sensation for over twenty years.
Tracks to check out and download: 2 Hearts, The One, Like A Drug, In My Arms, Sensitized, Wow, Speakerphone

Dont pass this album up its one of the best to come out in a long while!

Kylie Minogue is back, and better then ever. Yes, that phrase is over-used but, the fact is, it's true. Kylie's tenth studio album effort, 'X', is amazing pop. Ms. Minogue has just finished off her battle with cancer, and has effortlessly made one of the best mediocre pop albums of the year. Cheers to her. Now, let's get onto the actual album.


'X' starts off with the first single lifted off of the album, '2 Hearts'. This song is different than what we've been hearing on the radio lately, so props to her for taking a risk and putting this out. It also has a rock feel, but the video kind of destroyed the last chance for the song. The next track 'Like A Drug' sounds a lot like all the other songs on the album. Including 'In My Arms' & 'Speakerphone'. The latter being the hottest of the three. They all have the poppy-electric sound. Like A Drug is very addictive, same with In My Arms. But Speakerphone is the best. Especially with lyrics such as, "Drop your socks and grab your mini boom-box". You can't get anything better than that. But, as said, they are all similar in the fact that they are all dance, & both have robotic auto-tuned vocals. 'Sensitized' also sounds the same as the other bunch. Though this one is a bit different, it has the same music theme. Though this song is really hot, no doubting. The rest of the songs are basically the same.


The One' & 'No More Rain' start the downfall of the album. Both of these songs are pretty boring. Although The One is loved by some members of the forum (Kenny). For some reason, No More Rain reminds me of Ray of Light... eh. 'Stars' also is pretty bad. Very loud, and busy. Then the album makes a right-lane turn, and picks itself up. 'Wow' is the BEST track of the album. Fun, happy, positive, club-ready, vocals are hot, everything is just great. The whole song is addictive, and so fun to sing-along to. "Your such a rush, your rush is never ending, now, you got it your WOW WOW WOW WOW!" "What can I do? I'm into you... yeah, yeah, yeah" This whole song is radio-ready. Defiantly a stand-out track. Wow, wow, wow, wow! It continues its upward spiral with 'Nu-di-ty' although the track can get annoying at times. And then we go down, again, with 'Cosmic'. Pretty crappy, boring, and the vocals are terrible. It does remind me of a Gwen Stefani song. Especially with the vocals. The album closes off with on a brighter side with 'All I See'. This is another stand-out track. Vocals are hot, rap is great, beat is nice, and I can so picture crusin' along the road blasting this song. Great song.


To wrap this up, the album is mostly great, but has it's negative moments. But to be honest, this album is pretty great and is worth the money. Especially with the last track, 'All I See' which is the latest single. Worthy of anybody's cash, this is great. Very underrated. 3.5/5

*Key-tracks: 2 Hearts, Like A Drug, In My Arms, Speakerphone, Wow, All I See

This album is rock-steady hot. If flawless, beautiful, dance-pop is what you're looking for, do not pass this up. Forget Kylie's last cd, Body Language. This is a return to form, possibly more beautiful than Fever, and definately gorgeous, especially the hypnotic club anthem "Stars" and "In My Arms". Great going out music, uplifting and beautiful. Thanks for not collaborating with Timberland, Kylie!!!

I'm going to be completely honest. I'm not exactly a newcomer to Kylie fandom, yet I've only followed her career since "Fever". I still find myself bumpin' to "Can't Get You Out of My Head". I loved that song when I first heard it, and still do. When I bought "Body Language", I was terribly disappointed. I'd expected more. Just...more.

So when I saw this new release from Kylie, I was (naturally) reluctant. Until I listened to samples of the listing. And I must say, I was amazed by what I heard! Among my faves are: "2Hearts"; "Like a Drug" (I absolutely can NOT get enough of this one!); "Sensitized"; "The One"; "All I See" (especially the reprise featuring Mims); "Stars" and "Wow"...just to name a few. I would've liked "Body Language" if it had contained a similar style, but I guess five years was enough for Ms. Minogue to hone said style.

but nowhere near as good as Fever or Light Years. Good to have her back though.

First off I have to admit that this review is a bit bias! I am a huge fan of Lady Kylie Minogue O.B.E. I have any and everything that she has done that is out on cd or dvd... As for "X", this is one rockin' album!!!! A must have for any Kylie fan. The songs are great and the beats are infectious, sometime causing the listener to want to go clubbin'! Loads of great songs, such as "Wow", "In My Arms", "2 Hearts", "All I See", in fact the whole album is GREAT! and the DVD that is included is a great bonus!!!!!

LOVE YA KYLIE!!!!

I nearly threw up when I heard this. You might as well listen to classic electro stuff, it is timeless. Dannii is better and foxier. Voila, have I made my point?

After following Kylie for quite a few years, this has, well is, my absolute favorite! It's Like a Drug. Addicting, makes you see Stars. All I See is amazing talent from a woman who has transformed and stayed modern for two decades. This is an album you definately have to own! I give it 10 out of 5 stars!

Kylie always goes the extra distance, very good beat and her voice is outstanding. Little more electronic than I usually like but mixes very well. If you can afford the import (For us in USA) get it because the dvd is worth it, as usual with Kylie she does a great interview as well as putting on the videos.

After a four year absence, the pop icon from Australia is back with a disco-electronic-pop album that will send you right back to those wild partying days of the eighties. If you're a young `un, ask your parents about it. (They may not remember too much about that decadent decade, but they WILL remember the music)

First single "2 Hearts" is a rework of a song by the British group Kish Mauve, who also produced the single. This track takes you back to your sweater-off-the-shoulder/leg-warmer Flashdance days. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Strictly for dancing:

"Like a Drug" - starts like "You Really Got Me" (originally by The Kinks), which is on the soundtrack for the movie "Doogal", songs from which were performed by Kylie.

"In My Arms" - single-worthy, radio-friendly track sounding like early Madonna. Think "Holiday" and "Borderline"

"Heart Beat Rock" - more early Madonna

"The One" - another remake, another single, and one of the best tracks on the album

"Wow" - name says it all

For tapping your toes and shaking your hair:

"Speakerphone" - electronic pop, sort of like Daft Punk's "One More Time"

"Sensitized" - typical `80s track, nothing special

"No More Rain" - familiar sounding track that I can't place right now (maybe slower Madonna). I really like this one too.

Mellow stuff:

"All I See" - pop/R&B track, sounds like a Janet Jackson song

"Stars" - a little like Simply Red I think

Not so hot:

"Nu-di-ty" - electronic pop filler track

"Cosmic" - sleepy filler track

Recommended for Madonna fans, and anybody old enough to remember and enjoy the music of the eighties.

I love this cd it's awesome I suggest that everyone get a copy of it.

I have to admit I was not impressed with the first single (2 Hearts) off this album. I also never thought that Kylie Minogue could do outdo the quality of music she released with Fever, 8 years ago. But BOY WAS I WRONG. "X" is one of the most solid, consistent and catchy dance albums I have heard in a very long time.

Track 2 - Like a Drug, is pure pop genius, as is Track 3- In my Arms, and Track 11 - Wow. With almost no filler, this record plays like an awesome electro-dance mix, mixing it up with a little Kylie-fied hip hop (Heart Beat Rock) and new age pop (Cosmic, No More Rain).

But it is Track 4 (Speakerphone) that blows this album out of the water. This is one of the cleverest and most unique pop tracks i have heard in a very long time, and only solidifies Kylie's place in pop music history. Album after album, single after single, her music is catchy as hell, musically innovative, and really fun to play on repeat!

This is simply an outstanding CD with many catchy, upbeat, and memorable songs. In some ways it is reminiscent of "On A Night Like This" because every song has a unique feel of it's own. Although 2 Hearts and Wow have been the first two recordings featured off the CD, my personal favorite is In My Arms. "X" is undoubtably one of Kylie's best.

The more I listen to this CD the more I like it. Like a Drug , WOW & 2 Hearts are my favorites on this disc. Im plesently surprised! Ive always liked Kylie since the 1980's but lost touch w/ her music up until about Fever, this CD is much more fun!

What can i say about this cd......WOW, WOW, WOW. I loved this cd from the very first time i put it in my player. WOW, Like a drug, Speakerphone, Heart beat rock, Nudity....rocked my world. Kylie can give madonna a run for her money with this cd. But what happened to the U.S. release of X ? I have had the import sence Nov 11....and now its March 3? what gives. If you love Kylie, then your gonna get all freaky for this cd.......KYLIe.....your a true DIva......love ya...when ya gonna tour the U.S? hope soon. NOW............LETS DANCE!

By far one of the BEST ALBUMS EVER! Each time she comes out with a new album she blows you away but this one just stuns you. Every song gets inside you and causes a reaction that is beautiful. You can't help but love every song. Dance songs, Love songs, Emotional songs, Sexy songs, are all on this album. I think X is AMAZING and anyone would love it. You'd be crazy not to. You have to buy this. Don't give it a second thought. Just add to cart and go! YOU WILL LOVE IT!

I wasn't the hugest fan of Kylie Minogue prior to listening to this album. I had heard hits like "Slow" and "Can't Get You Outta My Head" and was very fond of them, however I had never purchased a full Kylie Minogue CD before, and now I know that I've been missing out. "X" is one of the best CDs I've bought all year and well worth the money. I had heard "The One" on an internet radio station and was immediately addicted to this song. I searched up and down iTunes for it and was discouraged when it was not available, so I went to Amazon and low and behold it was there. Not only did the "The One" satisfy my need for senthisized pop music, I also found several other songs on the album to be more than fanstatic. I bought this CD for one song and ended up loving the entire album. My favorites by far are "Speakerphone", "Sensitized", "The One", "All I See", "Nu-Di-Ty" and "Like a Drug". This CD is a pop masterpiece!

After discovering Ms. Minogue in 2002 with her mega hit "Can't Get YOu Out Of My Head" I honestly thought she was a one hit wonder, but she keep the hits coming "In Your Eyes" "Love @ 1st Sight" and my favorite track from Fever "Come In To My World" asure me that she was a force in the music industry. When Body Language came out I was so surprise it was like a whole different but yet familiar sound so I decided to research her history, Ms. Minogue had about 20 years doing music and more than 10 albums incluying all her greatest hits albums. I even bought Ultimate Kylie(which includes of her hits) and Show Girl HOme coming Live(a 2 cd album, that recorded the first show she did after her recovery). Now she hits us with X, at first it took me a while to get use to 2 hearts, just like it was going from "Spinning Around" then to "Can't Get YOu Out Of My Head" to "Slow" and now to "2 Hearts" like i said before so much difference but yet familiar. I wasn't sure what to expect from X, and since in the states X will be released in Febraury(which I problaby will end up getting anyway), I got this version, this albums aims to please and it does, she even gave us an extra track "Ripping Up The Disco" which it's one of my favorites. In true kylie fan fashion you will be surprise at first, maybe ask your self what is this???, but after you listen to the whole thing it's one of the best albums of her career.I can smell a grammy nomination already(maybe she will even win like how she did with "Come in To My world").... 5 stars....

Awesome CD. Probably her best so far. If you are a Kylie Fan this would be a must!

It's a good work from Kylie, it is different than other cd's. If you are a Kylie's fan I recommend you this cd

I am a Kylie fan. Not a rabid fan, but a fan nonetheless. I am an American. Most Americans know Kylie as the "Locomotion Girl" or if they are slightly more with it, the "Can't Get You Out of My Head" singer.
Most people don't realize the extent of her long career! I have "Light Years" "Fever" "Body Language" and now "X"

I love Kylie's electro pop. Body Language was an AWESOME album in my opinion, as was Fever. I was not into Light Years very much though.

Back to this album. X doesn't jump out at me quite as much as other reviewers here. I have listened to the entire thing, and do like the tracks..do I LOVE the tracks? No. The main standouts for me are "Wow" "Speakerphone" and "Sensitized" I catch myself singing "Speakerphone" alot now. Very catchy!

Maybe after repeated listens this material will catch up to me. I like "2 Hearts" but definitely don't consider it a classic Kylie song (scratches head)

I would still recommend any Kylie cd over Britney, or Madonna for pure pop fun. Kylie does always delivers a cd that you feel good about purchasing!

the CD is really great!
However I paid for next day delivery and it did not show up for 2 days. not sure how to get my money back on the extra fees I paid to get it next day.

It's that time again; a Minogue album is upon us. X is actually the first Kylie album I've been desperate to buy on the day of release, based on the strength of the leaked album tracks and outtakes. Having now got a copy of my very own, the hard part of this review is the final rating. When X is good it's very good, to the point that I can overlook the fillers and the car-crash. However, for the first time Kylie has come out with a few duds. To be brutally honest, "filler" is too good a term to call a couple of the tracks. I've been umming and ahhing, and have decided on a 4, but if you're a casual fan it may be a 3.



I'm going to start this review the diamond in the crown. `Rippin' Up The Disco'. This is a downloadable bonus track that really should have been a regular track. Hell, it should be a single, it's really that good. If you loved Kylie's LIGHT YEARS album you'll love this, it fits in with that era perfectly.

The album highlight for me is 'In My Arms'. Very dance-pop, the lyrics are simple & catchy. The music is very Calvin Harris. This track could be huge. It will be the second European single (excluding the UK).

`Like A Drug', `The One', 'Stars' and `Wow' (UK and Aus single) are pure pop. Forget the credibility chasing please, Kylie is made for pop, she makes these tracks shine.

The Cathy Dennis penned 'Sensitized' - dropped from BODY LANGUAGE - makes it way onto X. Like '2 Hearts' it's new for Kylie, but it works. Simple, yet complex, it sounds like it could have been an IMPOSSIBLE PRINCESS track. Very sensual lyrics.

A classic Kylie album (for me) has at least one average single. `2 Hearts' i8s a solid, slickly produced number, with nice breathy vocals, but it just doesn't do anything for me. Maybe I'd like it more if my first thought wasn't "It's Goldfrapp". The song, its video and Kylie's style are blatant copies. Anyone else would have been instantly shot down for this huge rip.

Another, unfortunate classic Kylie album stable is the use of filler tracks. I played the album before sitting down for this review, but I still can't think of anything constructive to say about `No More Rain', `All I See' or `Cosmic', apart from It's something we've come to expect from Kylie, but with the above mentioned treasure trove of potential tracks for team Kylie to pick from this really could have been avoided.

I do have another negative point. For the first time on a Kylie album there are a few songs that aren't even filler tracks, their just horrid. Take a bow `Speakerphone' and `Heart Beat Rock'. `Nu-di-ty' gets a few points for becoming car-crash; it's not good and it's painful, but I can't help listening.



This is Kylie's most solid album since the perfection that was LIGHT YEARS. It's a long way from perfect with only half of the tracks (and the bonus) being truly album worthy material, but we can still sigh with relief that X isn't BODY LANGUAGE: Part II.

This is the BEST kylie Minogue album ever done ... she has had 10 studio albums and this one is amazing ... every single song could be released as a top ten single . I have all of Kylie's albums but this one is the cream of the crop . Well Done Kylie and her team of producers , writers . I cant stop playing it , Best , Steven Robertson

There are always songs on a CD that are hit and miss for me, but I think most of these songs on X are hits. Worth getting!
