Given how much praise this one received, I expected something else than some "alt pop' with Imagine Dragons-like instrumentals with an impeccable production. That, plus the sometimes reggae and hip hop inclinations make this very 2014 - in a dated way - especially the way she plays with her voice: it's always, constantly over-the-top. In result, this is a pop album that cannot possibly be light, suffocated as it is by the mastodontic presence of Sia's voice. When this excessive vocal range finds the perfect way to dwell, it's, of course, a fucking winner ("Chandelier", "Elastic Heart"), but these wins are lost among not-bad-but-eh attempts.

This is Sia in her best form, writing mature and haunting pop songs with soaring hooks and unparalleled emotion. Tracks like "Fair Game" may not be quite as successful as the beautiful "Elastic Heart" or the violent "Free The Animal," but this album doesn't miss the mark.

Sia goes full pop, and while her voice is as beautiful as ever, this album is all over the place. Rather than stick to one style, it seems to try to do too much at once and fails to set any sort of consistent tone.

A small treasure that shines it's way into the public's heart. This has talent written all over it, but originality unfortunately is far and between if you've been anywhere near her far superior contemporaries like Imogen Heap and (imo..) more recently Grimes. Time will tell if Sia can take her strengths in this album and shape them into something for her next project.

There really isn't a set style this album sticks to. Like others have said it really goes all over the place. But it earnestly manages to work very well. Chandelier, Big Girls Cry, Elastic Heart, Free the Animal, Hostage and Fire Meet Gasoline are my personal favorites and each track manages to be so vastly different from the next while still being unmistakably Sia.
