I do agree. They clearly did some sort of deal with her people to give the album a positive review in order to get an exclusive interview. Aside from the lead single, her album was utter *shit*, yet they gave it the same score that they gave to Madonna's Like A Prayer and Confessions On A Dancefloor. It's a 1 out of 5 album if ever I heard one. Aphrodite would get a 3 out of 5 from me. I don't honestly think I could give it any more than that though. |

i paid 90 euros to see her last show, hardly a bargain that was. and what lacklustre sales are we discussing? the single is on its course to become her biggest uk seller ever since the fever era and it's doing wonderfully throughout europe. australia are just not into her at the moment, which has happened before. i can't predict how aphrodite will fare in the long run, but i do know that the audience kylie has been targeting throughout most of her career cares shit about negative reviews-mind u, there's only been one for this album so far. it's all down to the singles and their impact, really. |

objectively speaking, aphrodite is indeed a 3/5 album, no more than that, but definitely no lower than that, too. for god's sake, they gave a 2/5 verdict for the last sugababes album, how could anyone suggest that aphrodite is on the same level with that hot mess of a pop turd? the q/cheryl fiasco only confirms q is now a shadow of its former mighty self. they needed cheryl on the cover to shift some more copies and sold a great review to her record company. i bet aphrodite would be rated higher had kylie posed for a cover photoshoot. |

Now there's an understatement! If I paid €90 to see a Kylie Minogue show, I'd want at least €60 change. Are they the awful Greek shows that she did? The ones where she didn't bother bringing over most of her set, and her grand entrance consisted of stepping out from behind a beachtowel that had been held up with pegs in the centre of the stage? Her shows are sooooo not worth €90. |

yes, her greek show was just as u described it. what's funny is people who got to see this half arsed production still preferred it to the proper staged athens stop of the sticky & sweet tour a couple of months later. |

ATL is up to #2 in the UK midweeks! The physical release has really helped. She's 8000 copies behind Katy Perry though, so no hope of hitting #1. |

Here's the review from Q. While the final score is a little harsh, I agree with every single thing the reviewer says about her, her voice and the album:

Indeed. I'm even finding it really difficult to listen to her voice these days. It's so, so thin and nasal. Usually on her albums it's not so bad, but it's really poor on this one. |

"Mighty Rivers" is a little bit of a grower. Nice chorus! Still nothing special though. |

I think 2 stars is ample. But a bit shit when you compare to the 4 stars they gave Cheryl Cole |

Yeah, Cole's album was a FAR worse affair than Kylie's tepid effort. |
