"I have not loved an entire album since Britney Spears's self-titled record in 2001, but Sia completely blew me away this year. Not only are the songs empowering to the point where you feel them in your bones, but her insane voice sounds almost the exact same live. That, to me, is pure talent." — Caitlin Hacker, editor
"It's rare that I come across an album and fall in love with every single song, but This Is Acting is truly something special. Sometimes I feel like Sia — with her gorgeous, raw vocals and incredibly thoughtful lyrics — is singing directly to me, and I haven't taken this album off my rotation since the first time I listened (nor do I plan to)." — Quinn Keaney, assistant editor
