Slant Magazine
The knee-jerk reaction is to say that Ke$ha’s breakout success is yet another reason to dislike Katy Perry, whose indefensible commercial stats paved the way for the brattiness and on-purpose stupidity of the newcomer’s “Tik Tok.”

LA Times
Ke$ha comes on like a well-worn worst nightmare, her manicure chewed and her morals thoroughly compromised.

The Guardian
Ke$ha Herbert is the 22-year-old Nashville-born daughter of a woman who penned hits for Dolly Parton and has apparently tried her hand at gospel and country before writing for Miley Cyrus and singing backing vocals for, er, Paris Hilton. It's hard to discern much of this back story in Ke$ha's debut, in which she comes over as an amalgam of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Britney, which, judging by the multimillion sales of single Tik Tok, is just what the market wants.

BBC Music
The musical extremes on offer here can be mapped out in a triangle, with Kelly Clarkson at one corner, Princess Superstar in another, and Fergie in the third. So you get rocked-up songs about being a dirty stop-out; poppy dance songs about being a dirty stop-out; and power ballads about feelings.

But really, the album itself is very disposable and is almost equivalent to listening to TV static with a bratty girl rapping in the background. You know how many people dismiss metal music as just “noise”" That label applies directly to this album.

Congratulations…it’s 2010! Who’s ready to drink? That’s the lasting, ever-present theme of Animal, the long-awaited debut album from Ke$ha

DROWNED IN SOUND
Overall Animal is a dumb album. Where it tries to be empowering and fun it comes off sounding like a spoilt brat singing the American Pie script through auto-tune.

UNDER THE GUN
Kesha does get it right more times than not however, especially on the particularly catchy “Blah Blah Blah” which features underground favorites turned pop stars 3oh!3 or the equally amusing “Backstabber.” These, among other tracks, pack true pop gold from start to finish, but I will warn you to proceed carefully as the line between great and outright dumb is very, very thin throughout the duration Animal.
