Various people apparently have the actual CD now. The rumours of no jewel case are true. Hopefully it'll leak very soon...

I'll hold you to that! On SayGhey, they know two of the people who have it, but they're both refusing to leak it.

More clips: http://de.7digital.com/artists/kylie/aphrodite/ Everytime I listen to the clips it sounds worse. Some of the songs sound AWFUL(Everything Is Beautiful, Illusion, Looking For An Angel). Are these *really* the best songs that they can find for her to sing? They're soooo second-rate! |

Doesn't that go without saying for almost all her album tracks? 'X' has gone up in my estimations. It was a sham of an album era.... the album is a random hash of songs but at least they all had a bit of character. It wasn't some homogenised smoosh on a cd |

Exactly. Some of X was *dire*, but at least it had plenty of variety, character and textures. This is just one cheap, chipmunky, tinny song after another. And there's simply no excuse for some of the shit melodies on display here. She must get literally 100s of songs submitted to her and *these* are really the best they could find? Wow. I guess she's way down the pecking order of artists who probably get the better songs first. I imagine she's left with the mid-level schlock that are rejected by Britney etc. |

Had a scan through the tracks.... the first three I really, really like Then comes the mid-tempo lull of r'n'b esque tracks that would not feel unfamiliar in a zip file of X demos Then some uptempo ones with the same thin and demo like qualities :norah: |

Stuart obviously didn't get a chance to work his full magic on these. He only sprinkled some magic dust on them, as opposed to the full-on production job for the Scissor Sisters album. Seriously though, all the hype and talk of it being a perfect, filler-free album and her best in years...what a total crock! How many times is she going to disappoint people? |

i'm so very disappointed by the record. it's almost as bad as X 'Aphrodite' deserves to flop because Ms. Minogue: a. cannot afford to hire enough good songwriters to write 12 decent pop TUNES for her HIGHLY anticipated new album b. is unable to differentiate between a 'good' and a 'bad' song (X and its b-sides/demos being a prime example) d. is a silly cow for wasting Stuart's potentially amazing skills over a bunch of bland, mediocre, and forgettable songs c. is delusional for saying that 'Aphrodite' would make a great farewell record e. will NEVER have a consistently good album f. all of the above |
