Kesha drops Gag Order

[ben18004]

Kesha has released her 5th studio album....thoughts?

Love Keesha!

I listened and struggled my way through this earlier and it is not good. Not good at all. The sound is very alternative. It might grow on me but I have no interest in listening to it again. The cover art really turns me off as well. Such a shame 😭

I found it quite monotonous and boring. I know she could do better. Self-sabotage or perhaps she's catering to the w**d community who'd love this while high?

I like Eat The Acid, Fine Line and Only Love Can Save Us Now. I listened through it today, and I’m a disappointed. I think it’s her most experimental but worst album to date. Maybe it will grow. But there’s 2 interludes on a 13 track album. And one of the songs is barely 2 minutes long. I don’t know, I just think she can do better.

I feel like her past 2 albums both have the same vibe in a sense and don't really go anywhere. It's one tone from start to finish. I just got bored real quickly. 

This isn't me hating, i want to like it. I just don't.

Right! Her first three albums were a flawless work of art from beginning to end. I don't know what happened

Only Love Can Save Us Now is standing out for me. I do like more songs of it, but overall it is not my thing. Probably because Lana already covers all my melancholic needs.

The thing is that this absolutely doesn’t sound like anything you would except from a pop artist.
I think the emphasis here is on the lyrics, thats why the sound is so minimalistic and weird. I dont think that it is a bad album, it just isn’t supposed to be pop ear candy, its just too avant-garde for regular listeners.

Skimmed it a bit. While I was formerly a big fan, I found her previous album to be horribly produced and I lost a lot of interest in her. My immediately reaction to this one is just that it's not commercial and it will have weak chart positions. I don't need all of an artist's music to be bops. I thought 'Resentment' on her last album was beautifully done. This album, what I heard... it's a 'no' from me.

It's bland tbh. Her albums have gotten worse over time and unfortunately she doesn't seem to care about chart success, so she keeps working with producers who only know how to make album filler and not anything truly amazing. Praying was literally her last good song.

However, didn't listened to it yet... but if most of you say it's experimental might listen to it and might like it cuz I'm not a basic ****** who only listens  to the ******* same rhythms... yes, that's shade. Eat The Acid felt right (tho the lyrics are cringy as f... she talking about god and religion? gurl...)

I obviously have different expectations from this album than you guys did. Pop banger Kesha hasn't existed for years so I definitely didn't expect it out of Gag Order. That being said. 

I thought the lyrics were great. It was a big focus on each song. She was sorting through stuff during this and it shows. 

I like the album as a whole. While some songs didn't quite hit the mark they were all still good. This is the kind of album I would pay to watch her sing.

Drama was a nice mood change with the beat and I thought that the opening song Something To Believe In, fit great. 

The album cover, with the way the songs play out, I get the cover art. She felt like she was suffocating. I can see that imagery through the album. 

I give it a 7/10.

Horribly produced? 

Are we listening to the same jams?

I'm sorry to burst your bubbles, but ...

What's your point, sis? Timber came out before Praying.

Exactly. 

That's how long. 

It's been.

I don’t mind the album.  It’s not something I would listen to regularly but it makes for good casual listening.
