I really really wanted to LOVE this album. I didn't... It felt like a desperate attempt to dress up some pop/dance fluff. The problem I had with this is that I liked those songs for what they are. For example, "The Locomotion" is a fun silly song. I didn't feel that anything was added to it by re-imagining it in this way. Another example is Kylie's most notable hit "Can't Get You Out Of My Head." Adding an orchestra and trying to make it into a ballad seems to me like trying to put makeup on a pig. It is what it is, and to try to dress it up makes it ridiculous to me. Interestingly enough, I read through some critic's reviews before posting this and they, for the most part, seem to love this album. I guess it comes down to a matter of preference. As for me, I would give this album a C.
