Pretty much. Here's my review:
4.5 stars

Hello! Fresh off the heels of two commercially successful yet barely stomachable cheesefest albums, Rhythm of Love is a shockingly (no pun intended) timeless dance album. Perhaps due to her new romance with INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, Rhythm of Love benefits from a musical and visual makeover. Long gone is the naïve Kylie of yesteryear, cast out in favor of a sexier image and fuller, harder sound.

The album leads off with three pop gems. The effervescent "Better the Devil You Know" with all of its bombast and many hooks garnered Kylie some actual credibility, especially in the gay market. The disco-funk of "Step Back in Time" is a wonderfully executed homage to the heyday of the 70s. The persistent beckoning of "What Do I Have to Do" with its HARD dance beats and climbing synth flourishes is a definite highlight.

Elsewhere, Kylie perfects her pop with the confessional "Secrets" and the irresistible "Always Find the Time." Later, she achieves her first successful ballad with "The World Still Turns." Proving that non-singles can compete with singles, "Things Can Only Get Better" plays like a New Order vamp with a message. The highlight of the album, though, is the scorching "Shocked" with its sultry buildup and unrelenting beats.

Rhythm of Love isn't without its flaws. "One Boy Girl" brings cheese to the foray with an embarrassing attempt at a rap spat between Kylie and a guest rapper. Nevertheless, even it is salvaged by the harder beats.

Rhythm of Love is the undeniable beacon of Kylie's early career. Its addictive beats and well-crafted songs prove that pop can be really, really good without saying much. Its success is further augmented by the dramatic falloff of its successor, the tragic Let's Get to It.

is this even worth a post?
