It was released on 29 January 2016 by Inertia, Monkey Puzzle and RCA. The album is mainly an electropop album with soul influences. The album is composed of songs written by Sia which were rejected by other artists, such as Adele and Rihanna. "Alive", the album's lead single, was released on 24 September 2015. The second single, Cheap Thrills, was released on 11 February 2016. The remix of the track featured guest vocals from Sean Paul. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics, who complimented the bold production and Sia’s vocals. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 67, which indicates "generally favorable reviews" However, it received criticisms for the fact that the songs were not very personal and the messages of the songs could be taken in different ways. The album debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, selling 81,000 copies in its first week, becoming Sia's highest first week sales in the USA. Review: EXCELLENT ALbum with more than a few Anthems to get your groove on.. - WOW.. !! Its a lot to ask an artist to even simply equal the success of such an excellent album as 1000 FoF, whagts more amazing is when they do. Opening with "Bird Set Free" and "Alive" ( both she performed on SNL in November ) the album comes out screaming with confidence and her signature voice. But that's just a tip of the iceburg.. she also recently released "One Million Bullets" and "Unstoppable" both which have already become anthems played at full volume in many a gym headset. But Sia saved the best "Move Your Body" and "Footprints" for the album. The former is probably the best dance/gym anthem on the album.. The later, "Footprints" has to be the best trance influenced ballad on the album and I dare say one of her best tracks to date. Where the album falls flat are songs like Reaper ( I blame Kanye West and his heavy handed production, and tried to make the song a Kanye Song not a Sia one.. maybe it was intended for him.. its at best OK ) and "Sweet Designs", while a fun track, also a bit over produced and even feels like it was also written for someone else ( which it was.. as we know ). The only two tracks that totally rate less than 3 stars atre #10 and #12.. Broken Glass & Space Between, which again aren't bad.. just bland. So some songs were definitely Sia, and those shine thru and in my opinion are superior to the tracks on 1000 FoF. Overall a SOLID SOLID 5 star album with tracks rating a 6 on an 1 to 5 scale, ( Unstoppable, 1 Million Bullets, Foot Prints ), a few 5 star in Birds Set Free, Alive, Move Your Body, but not a bad track in the bunch. Just a few that fall flat, and that maybe partly due to the fact they were written for others. Review: The best album yet! - She's simply the best - she could sing the phone book and it would sound amazing! I saw her in concert recently and her songs are incredibly moving, sung with a true passion that so few singers possess anymore. I've been listening to her since her "Titanium" days and I love how frequently she's putting out new music and collaborations with other artists, as well as how she's evolving. She's definitely getting better with every album, and this one is chock full of anthems and feel-good songs (as compared to her previous ones). The perfect album for anyone who needs a boost and definitely my favorite one yet! I would recommend starting with this album first if you're new to Sia's music. If you like what you hear on this one, then buy her previous album, 1000 Forms of Fear. The music on that one is a little more all over the place and may be a tad difficult to appreciate at first if you've never listened to her before. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01B71XPHA | | Best Sellers Rank | #10,271 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #4,225 in Pop (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (4,461) | | Date First Available | February 4, 2016 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 888751805514 | | Label | Legacy Recordings | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Legacy Recordings | | Number of discs | 2 | | Original Release Date | 2016 | | Product Dimensions | 12 x 12.6 x 1 inches; 8 ounces | | Run time | 47 minutes | ## Images ![This Is Acting - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ScAa9vHEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXCELLENT ALbum with more than a few Anthems to get your groove on.. *by C***G on January 29, 2016* WOW.. !!
