It's brilliant. Definitely one of it not THE most cohesive album she's made. Ranks alongside Fever, Kylie Minogue (1994) and Light Years

Aphrodite is a brilliant pop/dance summer album. I was up late last night listening to this because the songs on here are SO DAMN catchy. Totally loving "Too Much" (Calvin Harris really brings out the goods in this track) while "Put Your Hands Up", "Aphrodite" (the breakdown in the middle reminds me of Grace Jones' "Slave To the Rhythm"), "Get Out Of My Way", "Cupid Boy" and "Can't Beat This Feeling" are all worthy of a single release. I predict this will outsell X easily.

Not that much to be honest. I'm getting it more for the hardback photo book

I seriously cannot wait for this album!!! I was trying to be good and not listen to any of the tracks but I couldn't resist Amazon are giving away a free megamix of of the album (totally official) and it's fantastic!

Hmmm I don't like much. There are only two songs I can see performing as singles. The rest is meh. I was excited for Stuart Price but this is no Confessions On A Dancefloor. I prefered X to this.

Ya know...I thought it'd be alittle bit better. Like most pop albums, it hits some big highs but then kinda snags along the way. Some songs I thought would be better based on the samples but overall it is good. In general, I actually liked X better, even tho this one is super cohesive and has a general message rather than the last album which was completely scatter shot.

Get outta my way, too much, and put you rhands up are stellar tho, toats classics. This album is Fever and Light Year's baby, all the way

i agree with this, but in all honesty COADF is in another league altogether! it was my fave pop album of the last decade alongside Gorillaz Demon Days,Xtina's Stripped and Britney's Blackout.

but i do think Aphrodite has some potential, there've been better albums this year for certain but of course Kylie has a strong fanbase and i see it doing well, i reckon she has three potential hits on it, but the highlights here are Stuarts synthy productions. also surprised Nerina Palot has written some dancey songs :O but a nice surprise as Aphrodite is probably the best song on it! IMO!

it's a album that hardcore fans will love and embrace, but to me it cannot touch Fever but that's my opinion, i prefer it to X though.

i'd rate it 3/5 stars maybe 3.5/5 as it has a general appeal about it which is likeable!

I'm going to as well - the deluxe edition is pre-ordered. I don't see the big deal with d/l if it leaks..I'm still forking out cash for when it does get released

Brilliant album! Summer pop perfection and one of Kylie's most focused albums ever!

Surely 'Get Outta My Way' is a future number one?! It had to be!

Mine's pre-ordered too. So hoping to get it either Saturday (next) or the Monday it's released. Anyone know what is actually on disc 2?

The making off 'All The Lovers' video (but strangely no mention of the video itself )
Behind the scenes of the album photo shoot
Photo gallery
3 performances from her New York show last year
Interview with Kylie (i think this is online though, not actually on the DVD)

There are also some mentions that the special edition will contain a download only bonus track.. thats not confirmed though

Get Out Of My Way is phenomenal, I've been listening to this album since it leaked last night.

Aphrodite > Bionic
