I think it was just to different from the light years and fever. It did show Kylie was not scared to do something different and it did work for her as it was successful but could have been much more successful after following the massive Fever. Kylie to be fair was never afraid to take risks with albums and always kept it fresh.

She took her sound to a completly new direction and for career development this is always very important. That said, i strongly feel she should have continued the Light Years/Fever trend on one firther album and then went with the Body Language sound. Aphrodite would have been the ideal follow up and i think it would have benefited hugely followubg on from the overwhelmingly popular Fever.

The last couple of years had been very shaky career wise for and thankfully this wonderful collection of songs put her back on the right track. With some brilliant moments such as 'Dancing', 'Stop Me From Falling', 'Golden', 'Sincerely Yours', 'Live A Little', 'Shelby 68', 'Raining Glitter', 'Music's Too Sad Without You' & 'Lost Without You', makes this one of her best body of work of her entire career. 'Body Language' is fine also, this has grown on me more as the years go by & while this & 'Golden' both explores new ground for Kylie, the other album did it better. This does ooze style and sophistication, but its the 2nd half of the album that really lets it down (apart from 'Loving Days'). The 3 singles are really fantastic 'Slow', 'Red Blooded Woman' & 'Chocolate', still a shame we didn't get a 4th, with either 'Secret (Take You Home)' or 'Promises' could have easily fit the bill, while 'Still Standing' & 'Sweet Music' are also highlights.
