1) Animal - This song feels like it only works as an intro. It has a good sense of buildup but a poor sense of closure. Why it was chosen as the last song baffles me. This is the only song in this list that doesn't tie into a bit of a narrative I've created.
[Act 1]
2) Boots & Boys - Boots & Boys shows a lighter, happier side of Kesha. It's a good way to bridge the more traditional Animal to the next track, which is [Spoilers] off the wall crazy and loud. It also shows Kesha at the beginning of our journey through the album, what her thought process is on average.
3) Party at a Rich Dude's House - So Kesha is at a party and she's having a lot of fun. This song is pretty much destined to go with the next song because it's about drinking and partying.
4) Hungover - So now the party's over and everybody's gone. Kesha's left there with herself, and she wonders what went wrong. She wanted boots & boys, but all she left with was disappointment. Now she's just sad and reminiscing about an old relationship. I understand, Kesha.
[Act 2]
5) Tik Tok - Kesha's back to partying. She realized after the last party that this isn't good for her, but she keeps doing it. Oops.
6) Dinosaur - Dinosaur is more of a filler track here. I had to include it somewhere and this seemed like the best place. She has confidence here, and it sort of reminds me of Tik Tok just in its theme on the most basic level.
7) Take it Off - In Take it Off, the parties start to get darker as Kesha dives deeper into the rabbit hole. Things have practically reached a breaking point. Also, Track 7 of any Kesha album has to be fantastic, and this is the best song on the record.
8) Dancing With Tears in My Eyes - She's destroyed their love. It's gone. It's only now hitting her that she wants more than just to constantly go to parties and get drunk and whatnot.
[Act 3]
9) Blah Blah Blah - This is more of a buffer track between Act 2 and the meat of Act 3.
10) Stephen - She finds someone named Stephen. Why won't she call her? Pretty self explanatory, and it's leading us into a new Kesha - one who's more personal and doesn't care for parties as much.
11) Your Love is My Drug - She's fallen completely for this guy. This is an introspective into Kesha's view on love and what it truly means. It's far from groundbreaking, but she's not listening to any advice and she doesn't care what others think about him. That may or may not be a good perspective to have.
12) Backstabber - Kesha's friend backstabs her by spreading drama and lies about the relationship she's in. She really shouldn't have done that. "I'm sick and tired of hearing all about my life from other people with all of your lies wrapped up so tight."
13) Kiss N Tell - So this dude, Steve, messes up. He cheats on Kesha after she was genuinely invested in the relationship. She's angry. She doesn't really like this guy at this moment. She's saying stuff she know she'll regret later but eh, whatever.
14) Blind - Kesha hits a point of realization where she remembers that she does still love Stephan and she misses him. But he shouldn't have betrayed her and that's her final choice. "You're sleeping with the enemy" really fits in with the cheating aspect of Kiss N Tell. This song is a good place to end, I think. It doesn't really properly conclude the story, and I don't think this story should be properly concluded. It's a journey that we all went through and we'll see where it goes when we get to Cannibal, whenever that is.
So that's just a quick tangent about what I think the album should be like. Take it with a grain of salt. I can't really change the album, can I?
