Sia - Some people have real problems

This album went straight onto the background music player at work. Also known as the Muzak player. Should i bother writing any more? why did it go on? well it's harmless, and by harmless i mean it has no swearing, it has no real peaks or troughs, it has no spikes in decibel level, it has no weird instruments, no sitar, banjo or bagpipe solos, the vocals are mellow, there's no screaming, no wailing, it's all slow tempo, there's no thumping bass drum, and the vocals and music blend into one, so that all you get is a nice pleasant background hum. it's music to sit down and wait to, music to go to the bathroom to, music to..dare i say..forget. Wow. that all sounds so harsh. This isn't a bad album, Sia has a wonderful voice and in the past she has written some great songs. there's some very beautiful moments on this, but unfortunately it also fits perfectly into my criteria for acceptable BGM. So this means i'll get to hear this album many times over the next few months, which is ok. it's nice and pleasant and..oh..well you get the idea.
