KYLIE's new album is out today - it is called X.

Do you think it's any good? Shall we talk about it?

'In Your Arms' still sounds like it samples 'I Aint Saying My Goodbyes' by Tom Vek. I like it a lot, quite possibly for that reason.

I think it's a pretty sterling pop album, actually- it's not pushing a huge number of envelopes but it sounds reasonably up-to-date and aside from the ballads there's nothing I'd be averse to repeat listening to and a lot that I've very deliberately repeat listened to. 'In Your Arms' and 'Wow' are the highlights for me but there's a lot of stuff I really like- it's reasonably varied and doesn't sit totally cohesively, which is a bit of a shame but it's got some really lovely moments, too. I'm looking forward to buying it and getting to hear it in good quality, since the pirate copy I've got is pretty awful and actually contains Jo Whiley at the end of 'No More Rain,' which freaked me out to no end and reaffirmed that Piracy Is Bad.
