    This album is pretty hard to listen to. Sia's whiny voice doesn't impress me, and the lyrics are just flat. On some songs, Sia tells about her sad life and how every man hurts her, and then on others IN THE SAME ALBUM, she is desperately trying to find a man to be with! I just don't like this. However the bonus track, Buttons, is great! Write more songs like that!

    Sia still brings enough weird on Some People to satisfy old-school fans.

    Some People Have Real Problems reveals the other Sia: plucky, bubbly, and growling purposefully through assertive pop songs.

    She mixes it up with the sweet 'Academia' (featuring harmonies from Beck) and a soaring cover of the Kinks' 'I Go to Sleep.' But think of those as bonus tracks, adding flavor to an already stunning CD.
