Better You Might Know
Kylie's third album "Rhythm of Love" is much stronger than the two first ones. If it was 80's pop music...now it was 90's disco dance music. I think Kylie was quite innocence but after the songs "Better the Devil You Know", "Shocked", "Step Back in Time"...at least seeing the videos of them...I cannot say that Kylie had her innocence. There is still songs like "Secret", "One Boy Girl" but the single tracks have the main role...and if you sing one "dirty" song, then you are dirty, no matter how many innocent songs you have sung...unfortunately. And Kylie chose this direction. "Rhythm of Love" is a wonderful title. It tells what kind of music this is: "Rhythm": there's quite good disco pop rhythm and "Love": The lyrics tell about love (and sex). The single tracks from this album were "Better the Devil You Know", "Step Back in Time"...and "What Do I Have to Do" mixed, "Shocked" mixed. There's some great songs in this album beside those four single tracks: "Things Can Only Get Better" and "One Boy Girl"...also "Always Find the Time" is quite OK but others are quite basic stuff...the only ballad is "The World Still Turns"...and that's not so peaceful as ballads are.
Stars: Step Back in Time, What Do I Have to Do, Better the Devil You Know

This is Kylie's third PWL album (her third altogether), but it's also her best from those PWL days! It includes great tracks like "Better The Devil You Know", "Step Back In Time", "What Do I Have To Do", "Shocked", "The World Still Turns", "Always Find The Time" and more--but all of the tracks are great! The singles include "Better The Devil You Know" (UK #2), "Step Back In Time" (UK #4), "What Do I Have To Do" (UK #6) and "Shocked" (UK #6). The version of "Shocked" is the original, not the infamous DNA Mix. Get her Greatest Hits packages for that version! "Rhythm Of Love" was a Top 10 album for Kylie back in the Early 90's. (#9)
The best Kylie album from her PWL Era
This was Kylie's third album from her whole music career and the PWL Era and I have to say, it is the best one! It's a shame this album didn't sell as much as the first two did, because as other reviewers have said, this album has a different feel to the first two.
Now, here, instead of a 10-track full dose of fun-pop tunes in the 1980's album, you get a 11-track full dose of fun-dance tunes in the 1990's album! This is also where sex Kylie began. This album includes 4 great singles and more popular album tracks with all of the fans!
The album's first 3 songs are more singles, including the extremely popular Kylie classic Better The Devil You Know. You will find your parents singing along and kids, Kylie DID NOT copy this from Steps! The other 2 are Step Back In Time and one of my personal favourites, What Do I Have To Do. Better The Devil You Know was a #2 hit, Step Back In Time entered the UK Charts at #9 as the highest entry that week, but the following week us fans sent it spinning up the Charts 5 places up to #4! Finally, What Do I Have To Do broke Kylie's string of Top 5 hits as it only charted at #6 in it's debut...
The next 3 songs are all album tracks, sounds quite similar and are my favourite album tracks on the whole album! Secrets is an excellent tracks but then the album turns all absolutely fabulous with 'hits' Always Find The Time and The World Still Turns! They are so danceable and upbeat!
The seventh track is Shocked. This was another single that many fans wanted to hit the top 5 again. Unfortunately, it didn't and only went to #6 again, like the last single What Do I Have To Do... Many people became fond of the DNA 7" Mix which was included on the single but this is presented in its original album version which lasts for nearly 5 minutes! Both of them are good, this is my favourite single from the album. Get Kylie's Greatest Hits packages for the DNA Mix.
The next 4 tracks are album tracks and are yet again, more favourites from her fans! One Boy Girl and Things Can Only Get Better are the stand-outs from the last 4 tracks. While Count The Days and Rhythm Of Love talk about Love and they are also rather pleasant tracks, like the others from the album.
This album's highest Chart Position was #9... It spent 22 weeks on the UK Top 100 Albums Chart. Kylie's fourth and final PWL album Let's Get To It went to #15 and spent 12 weeks on the Chart.
