Jan 29, 2016Incredible vocals! Even though she acted when she made those songs she did a great job. She made a nowadays album! I think she could've made an effort with lyrics, some of them are just great but nothing much. Broken Glass is one of my fav because she shows she has a f*cking great voice! She's an artist

Jan 30, 2016this new work from Sia surpassed its predecessor album, this album brings a totally different thematic of all the latest albums released, make an album with 90% of the songs rejected by other artists is not for everyone! Luck of Sia and fans because this album is wonderful

Jan 29, 2016Amazing album. Much better than 1000 Forms of Fear. So happy than those mainstream artists rejected these beautiful songs and Sia could own them :) Favs: Cheap Thrills, Unstoppable, Space Between. 8/10 for me.

Feb 1, 2016This Is Acting é um dos melhores álbuns de Sia. A cantora retornou cheia de força e sentimento, deixando de vez os bastidores e se transformando em uma nova Diva Pop. Amei! Não consigo parar de ouvi-lo.

Feb 2, 2016Great album. Sia makes this album work. The way she can make her voice twist and soar is incredible. Nice album to just listen to start to finish. Highlights are: Cheap Thrills, Alive, Bird Set Free, and Broken Glass (my personal favorite).

Jun 10, 2016Sia tem uma qualidade vocal impressionante e somada aos ótimos arranjos: temos um dos melhores álbuns do ano!
Ela veste bem a forma de "atuar", como ela se propõe, em cada faixa e faz parecer que ninguém poderia cantar tal música! Será injustiçado nas premiações, tal como os passados, porém não por falta de qualidade, pois isso tem de sobra. -
Jan 29, 2016It sure is a better album that many out there that need to be bought by multinationals and distributed freely to avoid failure.
This album shows that it is possible to make good music with just a pen.
It proved to be the best without having to make the conceptual and different line. -
Jan 29, 2016This is another great album by Sia, even thought is not as risky as 1000 Forms of Fear it’s still a adventurous album showing us a side of Sia we were waiting to see, listen to all those tracks written for another artists in the voice of the original composer is just magical as Sia takes us in a delightful ride listening to nice, danceable and enjoyable music,

Jan 29, 2016Oh this holy album is everything in my life. Sia did a very good job with all these perfect songs. Glad the artists rejected these masterpieces so that Sia could sing them for this masterpiece!

Jan 29, 2016Sia nos mostra que tem um potencial incrível, letras boas, melodias agradáveis e um fôlego pra nos levar a ouvir seu álbum até o final sem cansar. Entre canções dançantes e baldas fortes a cantora australiana consegue realizar um bom trabalho e o resultado final do this is acting é maravilhoso

Jan 29, 2016Excellent album. Every song is great and Sia's vocals are outstanding. All the artists who rejected these songs, except One Million Bullets, are really dumb.

Jan 29, 2016Now this is excellence in form of pop. Every song is a masterpiece and memorable. Can't wait for Sia's next album which will be written and produced entirely for it.

Jan 29, 2016While Sia has declared her awareness of the cheese factor in her hired-gun material, with its broad themes of self-empowerment and survival, she has a real gift for making it palatable.
-
Jan 30, 2016This is.... AMAZING! From the first track till the last one it's just perfection! There are some songs that are not that good but the absolute standouts such as "Cheep Thrills", "Move Your Body", " Bird Set Free" and "Unstoppable" overshadow the small imperfections!
-
Jan 29, 2016This Is Acting is a really good album, really love it; all the songs sounds like hits, and some lyrics are just wonderful. Don't underrate it and give her a chance, listen it, is really awesome!

Jan 29, 2016For me, this is the best record of the year so far, although it may lacks the emotion in 1000 Forms of Fear, but it's just as good, after all, she didn't wrote the songs for the album, but for another artists.
-
Jan 29, 2016Really good album, similar to Sia's last effort. Her strength lays in her distinctive and very emotional voice, as well as in the talent for songwriting.

Feb 1, 2016Amazing vocals, awesome lyrics! Sia is showing even more versatility. Its better than 1000 forms of fear, in my opinion as a Sia fan. I hope to see amazing videos and justice for Sia on Grammys.
-
Feb 1, 2016De longe o melhor álbum do ano e um dos melhores dela! Abre com uma das letras mais fantásticas que a música já foi agraciada. O álbum se distancia completamente de seu antecessor "1000 Forms Of Fear", o que só comprova que Sia não é mais uma caçadora de fama e atenção. Fantástico.

Jan 29, 2016This Album is the best of 2016, Sia is one the true artist, and have one Big Talent. In This Album, Sia Pick all your feeling and transform in Music. One True Art

Feb 16, 2016Every track is a potential hit, and Sia’s use of pure pop hooks, coupled with an astounding control over her rampant voice, makes this a very good record.
-
Feb 8, 2016There are only so many times you can key into someone’s heart before they change the code, and after about 20 listens, the veneer crumbles a bit, and it’s a little too easy to see the gears turning underneath. But that’s not the most frustrating thing about the record; the most frustrating thing is that Sia has so much access to us and just doesn’t do much with it.

Q MagazineFeb 4, 2016One can't shake the feeling that This Is Acting was compromised from the start. [Mar 2016, p.114]
