Sia – Everyday Is Christmas (2017)
In its best moments, ‘Everyday Is Christmas’ challenges the notion of what a holiday album should be. Sia just needed more of them.

Part of the joy attached to the new reissue of China Crisis’ 1985 album ‘Flaunt the Imperfection’ is the inclusion of so much bonus material.

Anna Nalick’s vulnerable, touching ‘At Now’ breaks down the barriers to human emotion, telling her story through song.

You can’t help but wonder how great this would have been if Maroon 5 more consistently rose above the easy expectations of their fans and these times.
In typical fashion, the follow up to 2014’s somber ‘Morning Phase’ is perhaps Beck’s most upbeat and funky album to date.

As usual, Pink doesn’t shy away from the spotlight, controversy and speaking her mind. The issue here is how these songs are presented.

‘Waves’ arrives on the heels of Rachel Platten’s success with 2015’s “Fight Song,” an anthem of empowerment and strength.

‘MTV Unplugged: Summer Solstice’ features a beautifully reworked version of A-ha’s breakout hit “Take on Me,” but there’s much more to recommend here.
“Big Generator,” the title track from Yes’ 12th studio album, seems desperate in its need to sound modern.

China Crisis’ ‘Working with Fire and Steel’ has been expanded with two bonus discs that are equally as enchanting as the original release.
