Ke$ha's debut album Animal is wildly two dimensional, and those two dimensions are "party and bullshit" (with emphasis on the former). Depending on how you look at it, this is either a compliment or an insult. If you can handle Ke$ha's unapologetic "I threw up in the closet" attitude, then there's no doubt that you'll have Animal on repeat.
And for those of you who'd prefer that this in-your-face artist kept herself out of your face? Well, let's just say that you should avoid the radio for the next couple of months. "Tik Tok" isn't the only song on this album that's destined to dominate the airwaves. From "Kiss N Tell" to the '80s-tinged "Your Love Is My Drug", the majority of these tracks are upbeat and ready for the dancefloor.
If the chatter surrounding it is any indication, one song in particular is destined to be an underground dance party hit. "Dinosaur" finds Ke$ha rapping over a minimal, playful beat about an older man who's hitting on her. Though it's incredibly ageist and immature, there's something quite infectious about this one.
On more than one occasion, Ke$ha decides to slow down the tempo ("Hungover", "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes"), but the topic matter still focuses on the party scene. If you're looking for substance, you might want to look elsewhere. But if you're looking for the soundtrack to a raucous Saturday night, Animal is here for you.

The whole album sounds so “tinny”. I think it’s the most blatant use of autotune for a female artist yet.
Take It Off reminds me of a certain gay bar on Boylston st in boston. <3 this CD
I agree with TC on this one, the autotune on this is ridiculous. At least people like Britney sound somewhat human almost every second of this album is a robot.
I was seriously excited for this album for some reason because I felt as though she would actually bring something a bit different in the game or something more of the lines of Uffie or Kid Sister, but after listening to a few of the tracks AFTER BUYING IT, I absolutely hate this album. Dewitt is right. There is no substance in this album and the only way that it would sound decent for someone to listen to is if they were high and drunk out of their asses to the point where anything sounds good. Overall, quite a disappointment, but I can’t complain because at least I spent six dollars on the album instead of the usual average 14-15 dollars.
LOVE ITTTTTT! hahaha. It’s just music guys. Fuckin dance to it.
yeah the lyrics are fun, yet stupid, but its too much of the same, i could barely make it through one full listen. im probably keepin a few of the stand out songs and the rest just goin in the trash bin…lol.
PS her voice actually doesnt sound too bad, im curious to hear her live.
This album is great. I love it.
The demo of Dinosaur is a lot better than the album version, people should look it up.
Also she left off a lot of great demos. Butterscotch, Run Devil Run, Get In Line, Disgusting, Heart Fall Out, Paper Airplane. She has a lot more great songs.
The only song on this album I really didn’t like was Stephen.
Album just debuted at #1 selling 150k copies in its first week.
To think Alicia Keys sold 410k in her first week and only debuted at #2.
I know chart position doesn’t determine quality music but fuck Susan Boyle! Miss. Keys would have been the first woman to have her first 5 studio albums debut at #1. 🙁
Only other person to almost achieve that feat was Britney. Next person inline to tackle that first will be Beyonce.
Aside from all the off-topicness, Tik Tok is epic. I may not like Kesha but that song will always be on my iPod. 🙂
