    The naff raps and Auto-Tuned gloop can't spoil the addictive rush of the air-punching, get-pissed-destroy-a-bus-shelter anthems that abound here. [Jan 2012, p.93]

    Warrior, a moderate improvement of her disappointing debut Animal. [Jan 2013, p.106]

    Auto-Tune, deployed all over the record, turns Kesha's voice into a robo-squawk, and not in a good way.

    Most of Warrior sticks to Ke$ha's tried-and-true formula.

    Although the new direction isn't revolutionary, it's natural enough and distracts from some of the filler.

    Really, though, her graceless output remains unaffected.
