    Kesha keeps getting better. You may complain her lyrics are vain and stupid all you want but thats exactly what she is trying to be. Shes not pretending to be someone she isnt, she is who she is. Her music is made exactly what it is for, expression and fun, its to get lost in the beat. Hate her all you want but with 5 straight top 10 hits her work speaks for itself.

    What an absolutely intellectual record. Kesha- sorry- Ke$ha has put together possibly the most mind-blowingly intriguing albums of the entire year. Her sound is so unique, and her dirty whore image just makes me want to say "Man, this is an album I want to buy".

    Ke$ha really did an aazing job on her EP. I myself am a huge fan and this was a very inticipated album for me. Ke$ha's intoxicating synths, and funky lyrics really have you dancing. She also has a softer side. "The Harold Song" is about how she misses someone who was sopecial in her ife. Overall, a really really really awesome album!

    Now we all know that Ke$ha is your Marmite singer...you either love her or hate her. I LOVE HER! she is a musician/lyricist genius, she has set the bars up another level with Cannibal...every track is just infectious as the next one and contains some hilarious lyrics like "Now that I'm famous, your up my anus!"..pure brilliance. The track "Cannibal" is my favourite.

    She is who she is, and I love her for it! She knows what she wants, and she can adequately portray it to her fanbase. All in all, she knows how to make a great pop record, and I look forward to her future matierla.

    This album is too amazing. Cannibal is the masterpiece that pressed people can't get over. Sadly, their faves don't make masterpieces like this and they are jealous.The 9 bops on this album are enough to get the party wild.

    Superior ao Animal mesmo que mantenha a mesma linha já se percebe a evolução de Ke$ha. Destaque para Cannibal, We R Who We R e The Harold Song. Ela poderia ter feito de Cannibal seu segundo álbum ao invés de apenas um ep, aumentando o número de faixas e trabalhando com mais singles, poderia ser um álbum de sucesso.

    "If you like to enjoy your life, you will like this record. It's for people who are alive and happy." - Ke$ha

    I would say this pretty much sums it up.

    Listening to dollar-sign-girl is pure dance pop addiction. In her latest EP and major release, the drunk gal proved to be a rising dance artist with creatively nasty lyrics and poppy production excess that make sense. Though her heart is in the clubs, her music is all the more enjoyable and (rare in the pop music landscape, believe it or not) in focus.

    After a slew of bad singles from her first album (with the exception of "Your Love Is My Drug"), Ke$ha's second album is surprisingly well-done. Other than "Blow", which has an annoying refrain, the album is full of energetic dance-pop, with highlights being "Sleazy" and "Crazy Beautiful Life".

    It is a shame that "Cannibal" was an EP, because it had lots of potential. The best songs are "Cannibal", "The Harold Song", and "C U Next Tuesday".

    An improvement over Animal (2009), Cannibal starts out with the track with the same name of the album, a sexy and fun track, I bet it would be a Hot Dance Clubs hit. "We R Who We R" is another cool-sexy song that is a positive message to the Gay community. To me, "We R Who We R" is currently Kesha's best song of her career.

"Sleazy" is another fun bop that leans RNB, "Blow" is to me, the weakest track off the album, "The Harold Song" is a beautiful synth-pop ballad that sounds a lot like Demi Lovato's "Skyscraper". "Crazy Beautiful Life" is another fun party song, in this song Kesha tells us to live and celebrate our horrible lives. "Grow A Pear" is a boring generic track off that sounds like she was trying Katy Perry's "California Gurls". "c u next tuseday" is a cool song that a lot of more auto tune, with Alternative music influences. Cannibal closes with the Billboard Remix of "Animal", gorgeously produced. Overall, Cannibal goes down as a great album of 2010. Expand

    The "Cannibal" EP came out only a few months after Kesha's successful debut album "Animal". Soundwise it didn’t sound too different from her debut album but it was just as good as it (if not better). This EP has everything "Animal" had; fun 2010s dance pop party songs, mid-tempo electronic songs that are serving as compensation for the missing ballads and crazy songs.

This EP has everything "Animal" had; fun 2010s dance pop party songs, mid-tempo electronic songs that are serving as compensation for the missing ballads and crazy songs. The title track and album opener "Cannibal" is amazing. It’s one of the two definitive standout tracks on this project. It’s an epic song. The third song "Sleazy" is the second standout track because this song doesn’t sound like anything else Kesha has recorded. It has a really cool vibe, Kesha raps in it and sings over a bass line. It’s amazing. "The Harold Song" is another highlight here. It’s the closest you‘ll get to a ballad on this EP. Kesha sings about an ex that she is missing after a breakup. It’s a beautiful song. The singles "We R Who We R" and "Blow" are typical fun dance pop songs that Kesha is (was?) known for. They have aged very well to be honest. You still can’t help but dance every time you hear them. "Grow a Pear" is this project's crazy sounding song. On "Animal" it was "Dinosaur". The lyrics are funny but it’s not one of the best songs on the project. "Crazy Beautiful Life" is another dance pop feel-good song. "C U Next Tuesday" closes the EP. It’s a mid-tempo song with an electronic sound. Not the best song on this project but still good.

    With "Cannibal", Kesha didn’t show too much growth since her debut album but hey, like I said it came out only a few months later. It’s the typical Kesha dance pop that gets you dancing and smiling.

The thing about the dear album Cannibal, is that it gurantees not one boring song, something that most pop artists offer in their nowadays albums, however some songs, again, aren't solid. Though the auto-tuned voice in many of her songs never get old, it sounds like she's evolved from Animal into a brand new voice range, for example clearly auto-tuned "Your Love Is My Drug" vs all natural "Sleazy". However, many of the songs are too repetitive. Example: Sleazy. After hearing "IMMA GET SLEAZY" for just about 50 times, it gets a bit old, however it is still a jolly-good time to listen to it! I do recommend this record, however, not for all ages. Grow A Pear is very... sensual. Hahaha. You'll have to listen to the album yourself.
    Tracks you HAVE TO LISTEN TO: Crazy Beautiful Life, We R Who We R, The Harold Song, and Grow A Pear.

    Ok, so Ke$ha is like a guilty pleasure. Strictly speaking about the album, I love it. The tracks make me laugh, smile, and want to move. What's better than that? "Cannibal", "Blow" and "Sleazy" are great tracks to party to, along with her first single "We R Who We R"; to name a few. "Grow A Pair" makes me laugh and is not that bad as well.

    It's so weird but true, she has her very own style of Pop using very unique electrobeats each song has it's very own style and is not repetitive, even when sometimes the lyrics are a alittle bit goofy but well it's Ke$ha's style.

    I'm going to guess that the majority of people giving this EP zeros have never actually listened to the it save for its two singles. The fact of the matter is that Ke$ha's Cannibal is far superior to her debut, Animal.

We R Who We R was written as a response to the gay teen suicides and, unlike Lady Gaga's "Born This Way", it doesn't seem like a forced gay anthem. Ke$ha does absolutely have vocal talent, it's just not frequently showcased, but hints of her abilities can be heard on The Harold Song. Many criticize her use of AutoTune, but let's face it, this is a party record and heavily processed vocals just sound better on the dancefloor. Expand

    This adjunct to "Animal" is unapologetically escapist and highly programmed fun.

    Sure, Max Martin's hooks, and especially Dr. Luke's neon-colored throb push these tunes into your head--they're in top form, aided by the tight focus of an eight-track EP, Cannibal's brevity trumping the scattershot Animal--but what makes them stick is Kesha, a pop star lacking pop star looks and a pop star voice.

    Ke$ha didn't really set the bar for intellectual heft too high on her debut, Animal, so it seems like hair-splitting to mention that even with guilty pleasures like "Cannibal" and, uh, "C U Next Tuesday," Cannibal seems to be skimping on the cleverness.
