Editorial Review:
Chinese edition of 2001 album includes a bonus remix CD featuring six versions of her international smash, 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' (K & M Mix, Nick Faber Remix, Plastika Mix, Deluxe's Dirty Dub, Superchumbo Todo Mamado Mix & Superchumbo Leadhead Mix).
Description of Fever:
Fever was released on a wave of publicity as the lead single, "Can't Get You out of My Head," battled on the U.K. charts with the debut effort of Spice diva Victoria Beckham--and it won spectacularly. Kylie Minogue's sound has progressed again since the disco-inspired Light Years, plundering the retro style of post-disco electro from the late 1970s and showing what might have happened if Kraftwerk had produced Donna Summer or Chic. Unlike most pop albums, or indeed pop artists, Fever is geared toward high-energy dance rather than pedestrian "I love lovin' you" ballads. Aside from the aforementioned hit single, another standout is "Give It to Me," a great piece of dance pop that has everything from Britney-style wailings to Basement Jaxx funk wrapped up with a catchy and typically suggestive chorus. The closest Minogue gets to a gentler moment is at the very end with "Burning Up," a breezy guitar progression with a laid-back melody, but it doesn't last long as the need to start dancing again takes hold and Fever breaks into some electro funk, finishing on a definite high. --David Trueman
Fever Reviews:
Another great Kylie album 
2009-06-12 - It's never easy to define appeal of a particular singer's music, but it's especially difficult where Kylie's music is concerned. I became a Kylie fan at the beginning when she was with Stock, Aitken and Waterman, despite not caring much for most of the music that they produced. Kylie wasn`t the only Stock, Aitken and Waterman artist whose music I liked, as I also like Bananarama and Jason Donovan, but I can`t think of any others. Nevertheless, Kylie's music has changed a lot since then. I also enjoy her later music, but in a different way. Yet through all the changes, Kylie's music isn't and never has been typical of what I normally listen to. So I guess it's down to the quality of the songs and Kylie's wonderful voice, both of which are well up to the expected standard on this album.
Four British top ten hits came from this album, which also revitalized Kylie's career in America. The first and biggest of these hits, Can't get you out of my head, made number one in Britain and became a huge hit in America and around the world. Nothing else here matched the achievements of that song, but the other three hits here (In your eyes, Love at first sight, Come into my world) are all excellent. The title track was presumably considered for single released but, at least in Britain, wasn't released in that form. It's worth noting that all the songs here are originals, even though a couple of them (Fever, More more more) use titles of old songs made famous by others.
Typical of Kylie`s albums from the early years of the new millennium, this album works well whether played as background music or listened to without other distractions. Overall, I have a slight preference for the album that followed this (Body language) and the one that preceded it (Light years), but there's really not a lot to choose between them. If you enjoy any of the three, you'll also enjoy the other two.
This "Fever" IS The Cure!!!!
2006-12-26 - If there were ever a question such as "Why is Kylie the Queen of Pop and Dance Music," here is your answer. "Fever" sets the platinum standard for these genres with its flawless combination of Kylie's sultry, smooth and breathtaking vocal flair combined with masterful songwriting collaboration with Cathy Dennis, Rob Davis, Richard Stannard and Julian Gallagher (to name but a few). This set is a deejay's best friend. Kylie has the knack for turning up the heat with stunning results.
Prime examples of Kylie's genius and talent break forward on tracks such as "Fever," "In Your Eyes" and "Dancefloor" (sultry and purely alluring with dance syncopation that gets to your soul). "Love At First Sight" is yet another diamond in this set with its pure EuroDance flair and, as always, smooth polish of Kylie's spunk and verve. What's more, as a perfect pairing, "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" and "Come Into My World" both define the club anthem attitude and sound.
As "Light Years" set the stage for Kylie's continued reign into the 21st century as the pop and dance music queen, "Fever" proves that Kylie retains that title.
"Highlights include "Fragile", "Give It To Me" and "Love Affair"
Can't get her out of your head 
2005-05-24 - Kylie Minogue re-broke into pop stardom with "Fever," her eighth studio album. And it's somehow not surprising -- "Fever" is infectious, dancey and perpetually catchy. Despite the "lovey" tone of the songs, Kylie's album is dancepop in its purest form, and is probably the best example of the type.
It starts off on a rather middling note with the fast-paced "More More More," before launching into the sparkling "Love At First Sight," a more complex dance song that is surprisingly infectious. ("And everything went from wrong to right/the stars came up and filled up the sky/the music you were playin' nearly blew my mind/it was love at first sight!")
Things coast on from there, including the infuritatingly entertaining "Can't Get You Out of My Head," the funk-edged "Give It To Me," and the sultry "Love Affair." She also dabbles in softer electropop, in songs like the swoony "Fragile" and the swirling "In Your Eyes," both of which turn down the tempo and up the emotion.
It's always sort of nice when a guilty pleasure doesn't pretend to be anything but what it is. And "Fever" has no such pretensions. It's a fun, slightly suggestive album that you can dance to, with the forgettable lyrics of dancepop, and some truly enjoyable beats that have a tendency to stick to your mind like old bubble gum.
Even her most ardent fans can't claim that Kylie has a great voice -- she has a voice that is lightweight, wispy and pretty. It matches the music, and she knows how to use it, never overtaxing the ol' vocal chords. In other words, no Britney-style chord-straining yowls or screeches. Rather than exceptional vocal quality, Kylie gets props for knowing her limits, and working with them.
And the dancepop of "Fever" also gets props for unusual complexity. Rather than repetitive beats repeated on every song, several songs from "Fever" switch tempo, switch synths, and have their highs and lows. There are some distinct flavours to some of the songs, such as funk and a bit of disco, which add extra spice and memorability.
"Fever" is a guilty pleasure, but at least it's a fun, entertaining one. One of Kylie's best, and definitely worth "spinning around."

the bonus CD makes it totally fantasticly super cool!
2004-10-31 - I own this special edition of Fever and I'll tell you that it is so much better than the regular version. The bonus CD is super-duper amazing! includes Can't get blue monday out of my head, which is the song that Kylie performs on her Fever2002 DVD, which is also excellent.
The remixes included in the bonus CD are so cool, they're very long, but they're great, it's like another song, not a remix; they're really cool and the CD comes into a box, and under the box, that you see in the description, there is the real CD box and you have the picture of the regular version. If you haven't bought it, buy it now!, and if you have the regular version...buy it too!
