O1. Chandelier first single and album opener goes without large start-up equal to the solid. A Heartbreaking song that describes transgression due to alcohol consumption. The verses and bridge are very melodic and the chorus is like a sledgehammer. Sias formidable vocals climb to dizzying heights, shortly before crashing. "1,2,3 drink"

o2. Big Girls Cry the woman is responsible for all lyrics and her colleagues wrote in their own album even more convincing, more mature lyrics. From heartache and loneliness is this emotionally sung midtempo number, accompanied by a strong melody. And I do not care if I do not look pretty, big girls cry When Their Hearts are breaking
(O9 / 1o)
o3. Burn the pages sounds like a song that Sia for whom could have written differently. It is the first song with a positive, trendy vibe and acts of the past to leave behind and burn the already written pages of a book to start a new beginning

O4. Eye of the Needle one of its strengths, it is lyrics to tell based on metaphors. This sad song is an ideal example of this. The Middle 8 before the last chorus is especially great written and sung. My bags heavy, being filled by me, They weigh me down, carry them round
(O8 / 1o)
O5. Hostage was already known as a Live version and convinced by the pop sound of their last album We Are Born. Falling in love with a hostage situation to compare is a clever description, supported by Sias typical handwriting. This song is melodic and instrumental very busy, accompanied by her unusual vocal acrobatics.

O6. Straight for the knife stands out because it is stylistically apart from the other songs. It would also be able to on their previous albums Some people have real problems or Color The Small One. Lyrically great cinema with a gorgeous, melancholy chorus. You went straight for the knife and I'm prepared to die (O8 / 1o)
O7. Fair Game is similar to the style of their previous albums also concerning the sound. Strings, xylophone sounds, describing a text of the division of roles in a relationship characterized by this rather quiet song.

O8. Elastic Heart appeared already last year on a soundtrack, still sounds very fresh and fantastic with every listening session. As she comes to this ingenious metaphors? Produced the entire album from Greg Kurstin, in this song but Diplo allowed Ran. The Chrous is one of the best ever. I've got thick skin and elastic at heart, but your blade it may be too sharp

O9. Free the animal that song !!! It's so messy your pronunciation is otherwise already difficult to understand, but here it is even more glaring. The verses are spacious and the Chrous is an ANIMAL, as she screams her Adlib is an album highlight and to the refrain of the vocoder is used and shredded her singing in a sound storm of addictive triggers. Also impressive how quickly and intensely the Middle sung 8. EARWIG (1o / 1o)
1o. Fire meets Gasoline when fire strikes ... gasoline as dangerous and passionate Sia describes the coming together of two people. The song sounds similar to Halo by Beyonce and is the great ballad of the album in the commercial sense. Especially great is the sampled vocals are their coming in the final chorus for use.
(O9 / 1o)
11. Cellophane is the quietest, sounding technically minimal piece of the album. Lyrically convinced this song by saying that the pain can not be hidden when in cling film (metaphor) is wound. The Bridge is textarm and somewhat disappointed, also it reminds me of another song, I do not get it. In general I find the song not as catchy as the rest of the album, vll. It is still growing.
(O6 / 1o)
12. Dressed in Black ends the album on a high level. The chorus packs a not only emotionally but also offers lines "You took my hand in yours, you started to breaking my walls, and you covered my heart in kisses. Here one of the most beautiful melodies of the album has been implemented by the piano, but has the song about length where Sia is a Jodel Marathon for the best.

TOTAL: o9 / 1o
