- Give me More More More!
This is the only CD that I own by Kylie Minogue so I can't really compare it to her others but from what I can hear this FEVER is burning hot. From the opening groove of "More More More" to the last more techno sounding "Butterfly" this CD is guaranteed to blow your mind.
About 15 years ago Kylie broke out in the US with her hit cover of "Locomotion", thereafter exploding with continuous chart toppers in the UK. Until recently nobody could remember who Kylie was until the huge radio single "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" came out and did just that. I remember when that song first came out and everyone was humming to it. Its died down now but I hope that she can continue to dominate the pop charts because she really does deserve that type of fame. She's so much more talented than Britney Spears who sounds like a chipmunk when she sings and I think that its time that we recognize that and hand her her rightful crown. With sweeping ballads like "Fragile" and potential chart toppers like "Come Into My World" (which will probably be her next single) and "Love Affair" (which pumps with rhythmic techno) this is destined to become one of the best dance albums ever made. In my own opinion every song here is a potential hit but others that standout from the rest include the r&b spiced "Boy" (which is one of two hidden tracks only found on the US release) and the funky "Burning Up" with its infectuous disco beats. So if you like electronic groups like Daft Punk and Basement Jaxx with fun dance-pop (not to mention catchy choruses) than Kylie Minogue's FEVER is the perfect album to light your fire with.
This is pure ear candy and it's highly recommended.

- The ultimate "Fever" edition
There are so many features that make this incredible edition of "Fever" the ONLY version to own, I don't know where to begin. Here's a brief breakdown:
-The US radio editions of the singles, most notably the rare and almost-impossible-to-find Ruff & Jam version of "Love At First Sight"
-The B-sides "Good Like That" , "Baby" , "Can't Get Blue Monday Out Of My Head" , "Whenever You Feel Like It" , and "Tightrope"
-The remixes are kind of hit-and-miss in my opinion, but the good ones are really on the mark.
-The videos for all four singles from the album ("Can't Get You Out Of My Head" , "In Your Eyes" , "Love At First Sight" , and "Come Into My World")
Even though it is a bit expensive, it is worth it to have all of this on 2 CDs. Get it now!!!

- KYLIE MAKES BIG COMEBACK WITH THE HOT "FEVER"
Kylie Minogue is back, though she never left...is back in the states with "Fever".
Her first single currently riding at No.12 on Billboards Hot 100 Singles, and recently a No.1 Club Play Billboard hit "Can't Get You Out of My Head" is an infectious pop dance ditty, that everytime I hear it on the radio I still keep humming after the song is a long time over.
This is one of the best dance albums to come out in a long time with strong production, vocals, and most of all strong dance songs.
Including "More More More", "Fever", "Dancefloor", and the dance hits just keep coming...Not a sorry song in the bunch.
Hats off to Kylie for coming back to the States with such a strong dance effort.
A definite CD for the long ride to anywhere, which will make that long drive on the freeway seem like the time it takes you to tie your shoes. An enjoyable treat.

- Kylie gives me the chills with her Fever!
I've been a fan of Kylie's for many years going back to the 80's with her first album, but as America's shine to her dissipated it was difficult to keep track of her. This album was released in Canada last year and I haven't put it down since and I was waiting for her American release so she can finally get the exposure she deserves! Well she has returned in top pop form (after a foray into indie) and this album shows that this is where she belongs. While I admit the songs may sound alike, I have to say that sometimes I just want to listen to an album that makes me happy and keeps my spirits up! "Can't Get You Out of my Head" is an amazing single, but it's not the only song to shine, other great songs include "Love at First Sight", "Fragile" (a little slower beat, but a hummable song non-the-less), "In Your Eyes" (her new single) and "Dancefloor" (it will transport you there!). If you remember Kylie from her early days, or if you're a lover of pure pop, then you definitely have to pick up this album. I guarantee it will stay in your CD player for a long time!

- Culmination of Kylie's Fever period
Kylie Minogue has accomplished a lot during the past year and a half. She toured a good pop concert, received generally positive reviews for "Fever", sold millions of copies of it, and broke into the States with her biggest hit "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", the previous hits being the late 80s SAW (Stock, Aitken, Waterman) cheese pop of "Loco-Motion" and "I Should Be So Lucky".
The Hyper Edition is an almost complete culmination of the material from her "Fever" era. Released in Japan, CD 1 contains the original album, plus four b-sides. It's polished, inoffensive, Euro, electro-pop. Although it's slickness can wear thin clocking in at over an hour.
CD 2 is the reason to buy this package. It contains three mixes of "Head", two of "In Your Eyes", two for "Love At First Sight", and the brilliant electroclash take on "Come Into My World", remixed by none other than Fischerspooner. The featured b-sides "Whenever You Feel Like It" and "Tightrope" are some of the best songs to come from this era (even better than some of the album songs).
All four videos for "Head", "Sight", "Eyes", and "Come Into My World" are found on CD 2. Directed by the talents of Johan Renck, Michel Gondry, and Dawn Shadforth, each video is a nice companion to the appropriated song.
Record companies are known for milking fans for their money, and "Fever" has many "editions". This is the best one hands down.
