    Rainbow is a muddled hotch-potch that offers little beyond the fact it heralds her return. It's great to have Kesha back--it really is--but let's hope the quality improves in future.

    Rainbow is both stranger and more normal than you expect; uneven--does Kesha really rhyme “highway” with “Hyundai”?--but likable.

    The record isn't perfect either, though it's enjoyable in places.

    Catchy melodies abound, but there is too much insistence on melody, and not enough on thoughtful instrumentation or profundity, for this album to rise as a pop classic.

    Favorite tracks: Praying, Learn to Let Go,    Fantastic album. It's extremely versatile and tells a story like no other album I've listened too.
    Favorite tracks: Praying, Learn to Let Go, Rainbow.
    Songs that grew on me: Finding You, Boots, Godzilla.
    Even the more adventurous songs are just plain fun to listen to, like Hunt You Down or Let 'Em Talk. I'm not usually a country or rock fan, but Rainbow may just convert me.    … Full Review »
