no

Ugghhh. This is like proof you haven't even taken a listen to the album and are making stupid comments off of ours. There are more ballads on A + C. There are 5 ballads on A + C. There are 3 on Warrior. Now, stop making ugly comments without listening. You just have us proof Ke$ha haters haven't listened.

I believe she did. If anything the songs' productions have been really stepped up, and her writing has gotten more focused without losing any of the bratty charm she had the first time around. The hooks are also sharper too, and the ballads and downtempos more affected and (slightly) less maudlin than her previous record(s)'.

I see no evolution comparing Tik Tok and Die Young. Cannibal was an evolution, but Warrior goes "back to square one"

I was listening to Warrior again and I think it adds onto Animal, rather than being something new from it..which can be good also.

Cannibal is the same, but it offers a much better sound and mood than Warrior.

AHHHH Only on ATRL is musical competence analyzing a ke$ha album.

That's like saying you need to "open your mind" to listen to Top 40.

She's grown some, but not enough to characterize it as an evolution. The latter won't happen until she truly explores new sounds outside the confines of Mr. Luke.

That's just the thing though. Sure Top 40 singles are popular but the majority of people probably haven't listened to a full Rihanna or Ke$ha album let alone some of the more popular pop girls. Sometimes, people do need to open up. And yes, Ke$ha obviously evolved sonically with this album. No songs on the album would fit on Cannibal or Animal and it just feels more mature.

Everything on Warrior has been previously done by her in either her previous records or her plentiful demo's. Adding a glossy production finish doesn't make it an evolution.

She went on and on about making a rock record and made something even more generic than her previous works. Slapping a song like Wonderland on the album doesn't make it suddenly polarizing and progressive.


I'm not missing your point. I don't believe she evolved. Quite the opposite.

An evolution of sound is like B-day to 4. Or Baby One More Time to In The Zone. Or Mizunderstood to I'm Not Dead.

Stop. Barely anything on Warrior sounds like anything she's done in the past. Coming from someone who listens to her music everyday in oppose to someone who hates her and barely listens to her music, I think I would know.

Please go and find at least five songs from before Warrior that sound like any song from Warrior. Granted C'Mon is a classic K$ track, there really is nothing that she has done before. You're making out the album like it's completely generic and that's solely the reason why she has regressed. Well, Warrior is not generic just so you know, and Wonderland is not the only song that makes Warrior a progression. The only tracks I could honestly say aren't anything new for K$ are C'Mon and maybe All That Matters. But those male harmonies in C'Mon solely support her progression.

I think you wouldn't know.

It's what it comes across as and it doesn't matter at all anyway. Now go and find them songs.

Everyone has their own different barometer of what "evolution" in music means.

I think so. She kinda has evolved in terms of sound, but I still prefer her debut.

Yes. I'm honestly baffled by claims that she hasn't evolved sonically with Warrior.

Not as much her fans like to think.

I see evolution in her songwriting, but Dr. Luke screwed her up a bit, I mean he tried to simplify her efforts, the songs sound too poppified in a bad way.

But I do enjoy the album very much, more than what I've heard from 'Animal' and 'Cannibal', she gets my spins.
