  1. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It's undeniably batshit insane, but Warrior is never dull, always fun, and frequently a thrillingly unpredictable ride

  2. 8.0 |   Evening Standard

    Purists may sneer but this is an untrammelled pop delight
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    It's a wall-to-wall party for the freaks, burnouts, outcasts, and misfits and if you don't get it that's your fault, not hers
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Even when buried beneath the heavy synths and highly produced vocals that mark modern pop music, the spirit of an age before her birth is infusing Ke$ha’s work

  5. 7.5 |   A.V. Club

    Anyone up for giving her a second chance—or recognizing she has actual singing, writing, and performing talent—just might be pleasantly surprised

  6. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Ke$ha is hardly the first rock star to discover that her crudest, cheapest, cheesiest ideas are her best. In fact, that's how you can tell she's a true rock & roll child
    Read Review

  7. 7.0 |   Spin

    Likable enough, but not only can't it match its predecessor, it's not nearly as exhilarating or disruptive as what fellow slizzered California trashdancer Dev or assorted K-poppers have done
    Read Review

  8. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    She’s easy to mock because of her apparent lack of depth, but the frightening truth of the matter is that Ke$ha is an incredibly smart woman
    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   BBC

    Ke$ha's trademark trashiness is still disturbingly infectious. It's hard not to smile when she sings about getting it on with a ghost, or rhymes "sabre-toothed tiger" with "warm Budweiser"

  10. 6.0 |   Q

    Warrior does have its moments. Print edition only

  11. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Californian 'wold child' returns. Party still in full swing. Print edition only

  12. 6.0 |   Slant Magazine

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

  13. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    A surprisingly decent if wholly predictable pop album
    Read Review

  14. 4.0 |   The Scotsman

    She still sounds like the strident, nasal pop equivalent of Eminem
    Read Review

  15. 4.0 |   The Guardian

    Self-styled bad girl Kesha Sebert has decided not to fix what ain't broke
    Read Review

  16. 4.0 |   The Arts Desk

    Sure, she’s a feisty one, but primarily Ke$ha is a calculated package from the stable of New York producer-svengali Lukasz "Dr Luke" Gottwald, the chap also behind Katy Perry’s rise to fame
