    Her most bare. Took my breath away by throwing away all her limits and find a raw referential yet unique sound. Rick Rubin who was heavily involved in the making of kanyes industrial masterpiece Yeezus returns to give keshas words a caustic background. Amazing. The sisngs here are devastating and honest, im taken a back by the sheer amount of influences she pulls off from Fiona on "theHer most bare.

    Never has Kesha's music felt this inspiringly rich. It has all the potential of once again making her a staple on the music scene, and this time even beyond pop.

    Angry and disturbing lyrics of this caliber would signify liberation for any other female artist. But it’s never been more evident than it is on Gag Order that Kesha is not a free woman. This makes it all the more difficult to enjoy Gag Order for what it is when there’s a blaring undercurrent that’s hard to ignore.

    Though interludes from the late guru Ram Dass feel a little hokey, overall Gag Order is polished, powerful and affirming.
