5 out of 5 stars Olivia's best album from top to bottom   July 2, 2003
Daniel Jolley (Shelby, North Carolina USA)
10 out of 10 found this review helpful

Having strutted her stuff to an adoring public in Grease and survived the horror that was the film Xanadu, Olivia Newton-John released Physical and basically took over the world of music for a period of many months in 1981. The title track was simply huge, to a degree I have seen no other song come close to equaling in the 20+ years since its release; if my memory serves me correctly, the song was number one at least ten consecutive weeks, which is really quite mind-boggling. To some degree, the other many merits of this album are overshadowed by the title song's accomplishments. Not only is this Olivia's best-selling album ever, though, it is also arguably her very best from top to bottom. Make a Move on Me was a pretty big hit in and of itself, with its energy and the kind of lustful innocence only Olivia could deliver. Another great song many listeners may remember is Landslide, the energy and catchiness of which set the tone for the entire album. Of course, no Olivia album would be complete without a touching ballad or two. Fallen is a slow and moving song, but the truly special and vintage Olivia love song on this album is Carried Away. This Olivia is strong and sure of herself, though, as she more than proves in the very next track Recovery. Actually, Love Make Me Strong, with its strong beat and passionate delivery, proves to be an even more forceful song than Recovery. My favorite song on the album, though, is Strangers Touch due to its sizzling delivery brimming with even more passion and sultriness than the suggestive mega-hit Physical. pOlivia's earnest environmentalist feelings are expressed well in a couple of tracks. Silvery Rain, an unusual but impressive track which is basically an anti-crop dusting song at heart, features an unusual sound and style which creates a strong and lasting impression on the ears of the listener. Its somewhat subdued verses floating above assorted mystical synthesizer sounds are transformed on a dime to energetic choruses full of emotion. Finally, there is The Promise (The Dolphin Song). Olivia wrote this song herself in an effort to inform people about the plight of dolphins at the hands of man, and it truly is a beautiful song, especially with its background sounds of real dolphins at work and play. pIn my opinion, there's not a bad song to be found on this album, and strangely enough the title track now seems to be overshadowed a bit by all of the impressive music surrounding it. If you are an Olivia fan, this is definitely the album to own.

No more country ballads here i am afraid, nope she goes full blown into rocky-pop, and full of great songs like the classic 'Physical', carried away is one of my favourites. Its just a classic olivia album, well worth getting if you like 80's pop, or just a fan of little Livvy.


5 out of 5 stars The last time she cared.   August 27, 2002

Without doubt Olivia's most commercial and satisfying album. After this, she seemed to lose interest in being a pop star, starting up a clothing chain, getting married and having a child. When she did return to music, a few years later, Madonna and others has stolen her fanbase and Olivia was made to look a bit foolish and old fashioned. She tried to recreate her 'sexy' image with the shrill and tasteless Soul Kiss in 1985, but her time had gone. A dreadful album of lullabies and countless compilations made sure she never charted again. Her very varied achievements and successes were all but forgotten apart from those who remembered her from Grease. That said, Physical is a superb pop album with ONJ in fine voice and actually putting her back into her work. Landslide and Recovery are 2 of the highlights, but it's all good stuff. Check out the brilliant video album that was released at the same time if you can find it!


5 out of 5 stars What a voice!   October 2, 2001
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

If you associate Olivia Newton John with slghtly cheesey Country ballads, as I used to, you should definitely get this album! This is Olivia's 80's Pop album. But the songs are ALL fantastic- and all quite 'unusual', in that they are sophisticated (chordally) and show off her voice to its full potential.(Listen to Falling-- what a voice!!) For me, Landslide is just the best. I can't recall the producer of this CD, but I'd love to know what he is doing now-- he's a genius! BUY THIS ALBUM. And if you don't like it, send it to me!!!


5 out of 5 stars I love this song - the best of Olivia's work.   July 26, 2000

I think Physical is a brilliant song and the video is quite funny. It's different to see Olivia singing that sort of song as she has usually sung very sweet song. The image is completly different for Olivia as she is supporting her new hair cut and her athletic wardrobe. I just wish I was born in the sixties so I could have appreciated Olivia's work as it was happening and not later on. To all the Olivia Fans Stacey Gray
