A perfect album of gorgeous dance music.
-
Not one weak track, not one misplaced syrupy ballad to ruin the groove. The winning streak continues.
-
MixerThe sophistication of its upbeat electro-pop construction allows Kylie to fly while her contemporaries simply float. [Apr 2002, p.77]
-
Undoubtedly one of the most infectious records you'll hear this year.
-
Village VoiceSure, Fever's brushed-steel Eurodisco is old hat, Munich '77 via Paris '98. But mainlined along FM frequencies, it sounds totally 2002.
-
By far Kylie's best album to date.
-
It's a bit cheeky, but that's Kylie, and that's pop. Where the songs are as good as 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' it works beautifully.
-
An album that exudes both class and conviction, and it's a welcome breather from the avalanche of beautiful introspection that's come to characterise 2001.
-
Featuring no less than 15 different songwriters, Fever is step-aerobic heaven, each song shiny, bouncy and as expertly arranged, if ultimately soulless, as one would expect from so many contributors.
-
Fast, full of old-fashioned hooks and newfangled techno hiccups, campy as a tent full of Boy Scouts and yet easy on the cheese.
-
The overwhelming majority of this album is unbelievably annoying dance pop.
-
Like the soundtrack of a very bad Jazzercise class.
-
BlenderSadly, while some will still be humming the hypnotic "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" come judgment day, the rest of Fever is more forgettable. [Feb/Mar 2002, p.114]
-
UrbFever makes Britney Spears seem like even more of a pop genius. Scary. [May 2002, p.116]
-
An astoundingly bland helping of hollow dance pop grooves and nauseating pleas for sex.
