    Clearly my opinion is being skewed by my high expectations brought on by her later work, but... Sia, I have to admit, I wouldn't wanna be ya in 2008... A friend had recommended this album to me long ago and thank goodness this wasn't my only impression of her! Perhaps Sia was too busy putting her best work toward other projects before she realized she can have an amazing voice of her own?

    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.
