Some tracks, such as �2 Hearts� and the iTunes bonus track, �Magnetic Electric,� are incredibly catchy. In the right context � getting ready to go out, dancing or drunken sing-alongs � both songs could be fitting, even fun. Most of the songs, however, show very little innovation and a lot of shockingly terrible lyrics. One song, �The One,� actually compares Minogue�s sexual tension to the Sistine Chapel in the lyrics: �It�s a feeling that I need to know/ Close to touch like Michelangelo.� And in �Stars,� two verses end with the lyrics �Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,� leaving one to assume the songwriters had this conversation:

�Man, I can�t think of a line to finish this verse.�

�Just say �Yeah� four times.�

�Perfect. I�ll do that twice.�

But the downfalls aren�t limited solely to the vocals. Listening to �Speakerphone� could incite a middle school flashback of playing Nintendo, as the music sounds like winning an extra life in Super Mario. This same track is also oddly reminiscent of Daft Punk�s �Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,� except more breathy and about sex rather than a person�s resilience.

While most of X is consistent in its disappointing nature, two tracks break the chain of one similar song after another. Veering away from the album�s character, �No More Rain� and �Cosmo� contain two distinctions: One, the lyrics finally provide sentiments that reach below the surface, and, two, they stop the album from sounding like one endless track. Instead, these songs sound almost acoustic � a welcome variance. The vast majority of the remaining songs, however, belong in drag shows or Target commercials.
