Title: Disappointing
Review: Much as I tried to like this cd, there are really only about 2 or 3 songs that are worthy in my opinion. I was turned on to this one because I heard "Breathe Me" on the finale of "Six Feet Under". Coupled with the exiting montage it was an excellent choice and I do like the song by itself, but the rest of this album just isn't as interesting. The repetitive lyrics make it downright irritating to listen to, and if you're gonna repeat the same line 16 times you really better be able to sing the heck out of it. Sia just doesn't pull of the gospelly thing; she exudes a forced soulfulness. The album is just a little too drowsy for my tastes as well. I expected more of a sonic treat, with cooler samples and more ambience than brood, but it instead fell a little flat. At this import price too, it's hard to justify.
Is the review positive or negative?
