5.0 out of 5 stars My Favourite Album Of All Time, September 19, 2004

By 

Meg (Illinois) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Impossible Princess (Audio CD)

Wow. I really don't know where to begin with this one! I really love this album, and it is such a departure for Kylie. Her pre-"IP" and post-"IP" work is okay, but I will always believe that this album is her best.

It begins with the haunting "Too Far," with lyrics like "Caught up in this house / Trapped my very own self in the snare of my mind / No more space than a slither / What I'd give for a deep breath inside." This is a very disturbing song, but it works.
I would have to say that it is my favourite song on the whole album.

"Cowboy Style" sounds like a mix between country music and Celtic music - very odd, but fun to dance to. It combines my two favourite styles of music, so that is a plus!

"Some Kind Of Bliss" and "Did It Again" are the more rock/pop tracks on the album. I think that they are the least creative but the most radio-friendly. Good songs in general, though, and they make the album more complete.

"Breathe" - a great song, but it is pretty slow for me. I like the sped-up radio version of this song that can be found on her "Hits+" album.

"Say Hey," "Drunk," and "Limbo" are very techno-dance infused songs. I enjoy these a lot, and I think they each are very unique.

"I Don't Need Anyone" - quite possibly a close second for my favourite. It sounds like a 70's song with the flutes and such, but it is a rock/pop track.

"Jump" is my least favourite song, but I'm not sure why. The lyrics are very good, but I don't really care for the melody.

"Through The Years" is a jazzy, sultry song that I love! It has a very sexy tone to it, but the lyrics make it more of a "done me wrong" song, if you know what I mean.

"Dreams" - what a brilliant way to end the album. A sweeping ballad about wanting everything and being an impossible princess because of it.

The album I purchased was the box set, which includes a second CD of remixes and bonus tracks. I recommend that everyone get this set, because the bonuses are wonderful. "Love Takes Over Me," "Too Far (Inner Door Mix)" and "Breathe (Tee's Glimmmer Mix)" are my faves.

Buy this album! You won't regret it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Full of Kylie, February 1, 2004

This review is from: Impossible Princess (Audio CD)

If your going to pick up Kylie's "Impossible Princess" album, make sure to pick up the remastered box set. Here you get extra songs, in addition to remixed versions of the origional one's. Sound quality is excellent. A special bonus is "this Girl" on the second cd, which you won't find on any other album. It's a beautiful song. Great cd, so pick it up!
