Oct 22, 2013The musical evolution of Katy's from the songs 9 16, she really let the light in, not so cormecial as "Teenage Dream" and not as organic as "One of The Boys", she finally found herself artistically.
-
Oct 22, 2013Amazing!! Prism is so fresh. Katy is so fresh. Best pop singer ever!! This record is so lovely, Katy find herself e looks like she's pretty comfortable. LET THE LIGHT IN!

It Takes Two, and Love Me Roar course -
Oct 22, 2013Katy Perry is doing the same thing. There's just a few good songs, but all of them sounds the same. Maybe she needs to try something new. There's good lyrics on the album while the rhythm of all of them are getting Perry's back to "One of the Boys...", she needs more of the potential of "Teenage Dream".

Nov 12, 2017Prism es un Álbum Increíble, llego de Cosas Maravillosas, la Música se te Mete en la venas Katy es una Diosa, Lengendary Lovers, es un Te-mazo para sacar como Single. lo cual no se dio pero nos recompenso con Unconditionally
-
Jan 9, 2018este album podria decirse que es un contra a teenage dream una respuesta madura hacia ese sueño adolescente

Jan 5, 2018Prism is my favorite Katy Perry album, I love all the sounds and the songs, the lyrics, everything, it's just perfect, I LOVE IT
-
Oct 30, 20202013 was a good year for the great Katy Perry. Prism is fascinating it has songs jewels like Legendary Lovers, Unconditionally, Ghost, and don't forget the iconic smash-hits "Roar" and "Dark Horse".
-
Jun 8, 2017Filled with powerful ballads such as This Moment and Ghost, PRISM delivers Perry in its essence, not to mention the good pop beat that features such hymns as Roar, Dark Horse and Legendary Lovers.
-
Aug 8, 2017Great pop album, but it's more like 9.5 than 10. Plenty of hit songs on this album, not to mention "Roar" & "Dark Horse", two diamonds songs. It failed to outshine "Teenage Dream", and for me, this album doesn't have a pop cultural impact like previous album. The official singles from album are not the best choices thought.
-
Jan 19, 2019pop perfection with two diamonds singles. Ugh her mind WIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
-
Sep 8, 2019Álbum mais coeso e lírica superior aos outros antecessores. "Walking On Air" definitivamente deveria ter se tornado single.
-
Jun 5, 2015Não há progresso em relação aos Álbuns anteriores, é comercial, feito pra vender.
as músicas boas são Spitual, Ghost, By The Grace of God, Choose Your Battles e It Takes Two, espero que ela traga musicas suaves assim pra próxima era ou seja Dark.
This Is How We Do ? Descarte do Teenage Dream, esqueceram de colocar e botaram nesse -
Sep 7, 2015In my opinion, this is Katy Perry's strongest body of work. Her lyrics are better than her previous albums and finally we get to see the vaunerable side of her instead of the constantly poppy and up beat Katy that we know.
-
Sep 9, 2015Its okay!
Legendary Lovers steals the spotlight for me, I feel like there were a lot of filler songs, no song is really bad though. Roar is the one I don't really don't like -
Sep 13, 2015I used to listen to her 1 year ago and now I did back and PRISM is still a good album, the last tracks are the best, but the singles are the worst. Ballades like 'Ghost' 'Love Me' 'Double Rainbow' are the best.
-
Oct 30, 2015After Teenage Dream, its look bad but also, there is unforgettable songs like Legendary Lovers, Walking On Air and By The Grace Of God. Silly to these songs didn't choose for be a single but still it is a beautiful album.

Mar 27, 2020For me it's an okay album. It's just a pure pop, and nothing else. It doesn't mean that I don't admire songs from this album, but I simply prefer One of the Boys.
-
Jun 4, 2020PRISM combina tudo o que Katy Perry faz de melhor: batidas dançantes, melodias "chiclete" e letras cativantes, gerando um conjunto sonoro de pura elegância. É na minha opinião sua obra prima.
-
May 6, 2020Prism is best Katy Perry album, I love all the sounds and the songs, the lyrics, everything, it's just perfect, I LOVE IT
-
Sep 4, 2019Sin duda uno de los mejores albums, que contiene hits tan tan icónicos como Roar que es una de las canciones más vendidas, y el video femenino más visto cerca de 3B visitas en YouTube, lo que indica su gran potencial, además de hits como Dark Horse que batió todo tipo de récords, o temazos únicos como Unconditionally o hits como Walking on Air, Katy demostró su mejor cara en este álbum.
-
Sep 17, 2019an incredible album by an incredible Artist which deserves way more credit and acclimation than it receives. The second coming of pop music that Katy has once again defined pop music for centuries to come.

Mar 26, 2020The best album of Katy perry , since teenage dream who was very good to . She is an incredible songwriter
-
Mar 27, 2020I love how to see Katy evolve and grown as a human. It was basically evident to her 3rd studio album, Prism. This is a great way to continue her sophomore album which has brought a lot of bangers.
-
Jun 6, 2020No doubt, Prism is the best album of Katy Perry. I absolutely love the composition, the melody, the lyrics, the production. I love how each songs have different messages. Listening to this album is so fresh and fun, and amazing. One of the best pop albums of the decade of 2010s. Let that sink in.
-
Apr 20, 2020The best album ever!, also consider listening on Prism (Deluxe). Presenting my faves:
-Legendary Lovers
-Ghost
-Double Rainbow
-It takes two
-Spiritual -
Jun 3, 2020The best album by Katy Perry, beautiful lyrics, meanings, we can appreciate a mature grown woman talking about her life. Prism deserved even more. Walking on Air is the best song in the album (based in production); It takes two is such a masterpiece just because of the lyrics,
-
May 30, 2020Katy Perry is Amazing singer. She's funny, creative, happy, sexy and power woman. She's fantastic and evolved talent!

Feb 4, 2015That sounds so good! Katy sounds more mature, with incredible lyrics and beats! The Katy Perry musical's evolution scared me, not to candy and comemrcial but not so scared like One Of the Boys, Katy found her way! I love Legendary Lovers and this album desurve a 10.

Nov 22, 2013Prism is certainly one of the best cds of the year. Shows a maturing due to the katy, and features songs with more quality. The only track that recalls the teenage dream is "Roar", but "Prism" is nonetheless one of the most mature cds katy already done. The best tracks are "Legendary Lovers," "This Moment" and "By the grace of god".
-
Oct 22, 2013This is a very good sequel to Teenage Dream. Katy experiments on new genres on this album and I truly admire the diversity that she offers on her new opus. Bravo Katy and I'm excited for your future work!
-
Dec 31, 2013PRISM is a pure pop. Good easy-to-listen songs with nice lyrics. Maybe there is less number of potential hits than in Teenage Dream, I see a progress in her artistic work. The best songs for me are: Birthday (so catchy!), Walking On Air (Sounds like in 90s! Yay!), Dark Horse (I haven't expected such song from Katy) and By the Grace of God.

Jun 13, 2014This album is perfect. MUCH BETTER THAN TRASHPOP BY LADY CRAPGA. Katy is a real artist that knows what we want to hear. I'm so glad that she made this perfect album!

May 30, 2015this is the best perry album without a shadow of doubt, I found a smart move to split the album into 2 parts, commercial and emotional, unlike the other two, ONE OF THE BOYS is a confusing and horrible mixture of 2, the TEENAGE DREAM is entirely commercial, anyone who understands music can see that this is your best
-
Aug 11, 2015This album is awesome, the best disco pop in milenium, the musics are very happy, make me dance, the mellody are sweet, Katy Perry sold this album a lot things, Katy perry is the best artist ever
-

Nov 17, 2013Katy did it again, she is fresh, this record is amazing, she is honest and the most beautiful I've found in this album, is this sound of contemporary christian music, I think she finally found a balance between the mainstream and a great sound. Besides, her lyrics and her voice are the best.
-
Dec 11, 2013Once again katy perry had created a good records
Even if the album wasn't at the price of 0.99 cent(born this way)
It climbed to the heart of many without needing to please our wallets -
Jan 23, 2015Perfeição, apenas. A Katy Perry sempre faz um ótimo trabalho em seus álbuns. Porém, não tem como agradar todo mundo não é?! O álbum é ótimo, e quem sabe aproveitar a musica, sabe do que estou falando.
-
Jan 25, 2015Katy Perry has come a long way. This is almost the raw emotion and fun of her life since her last album. Every song is either really personal or just fun. Her aim was just to do what she wanted to do and not win awards and be #1.
-
Oct 22, 2013Katy has never promised that her new album is going to be a "dark album". Haters please shut your mouth and go read that interview. This is an amazing album. Unlike Teenage Dreams, songs in the album are not very catchy at the first time, but the more you listen, the more you love. For example, Ghost, Unconditionally, Love Me.

Oct 22, 2013The PRISM so light and airy and at the same time, is as distinct and complete. I really enjoyed what I heard and I recommend everyone to buy and listen to this wonderful album. PRISM in my opinion does not deserve negative scores.
-
Oct 22, 2013
-
Oct 22, 2013The sixteen-track set shows a more mature side of Perry, alongside a consistent and well done production. The problem with it, is that, ultimately, its lyrics are banal and cliched. The singer deserves respect for coming up with Prism, a record that's plenty of positivism and love. Standouts include "Legendary Lovers", "Spiritual" and "Choose Your Battles".

Oct 23, 2013This is a great opus from Ms. Perry. The diversity of sound that ranges from EDM to HipHop to Ballads is genius. Her vocals is notably more mature than her previous records. The anthemic and self-reflective lyrics are relatable. Music is basically made to touch lives and Katy Perry delivered it well to her audience with out confusing the general public. Not a perfect album but it's almost there.

Nov 11, 2013MIXED REVIEWS????? WHAT THE This A really good album better than the awful ARTFLOp is unfair the 5.7 score ALL THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS ARE FORM CAFANS
-
Nov 27, 2013Loved Teenage Dream and love this cd too, although it is clearly a different feel I love "unconditionally" and "roar" and "it takes two" the best, although I genuinely like all of the tracks Katy, I think you are true brilliance and a true heartfelt artist, true to yourself sending you the love!
-
Jan 8, 2014For the first time we hear a more mature beat coming from katy perry.
PRISM actually shows more mature, and the first step to a career outside the field of comfort, if Katy administer it correctly, the charts being the least important. -
Nov 12, 2013This is a great album. She sounds more mature but still able to have fun. Katy found herself and goes great messages of resilience and love with this album. It is soft and pleasant to hear.
-
Nov 18, 2013Recently, the have been a lot of "pop" albums that use so much synthesizer, they want to make music like DJ's. That isn't pop. Katy has made a splendid album, good lyrics about love, empowerment, self reflections... It's a very personal album without being pretentious .Nice and simple rhythms... That's genuine pop. Congratulations Katy, you're bringing back that pop we miss.

Dec 2, 2013A lot of ballads in there making your mind flood with joy and calmness. Beautiful records in there. Roar, Ghost, Unconditionally, Choose Your Battles and some other songs and wonderful. The album: simple, easy listening and pleasant.
-
Dec 2, 2013Katy had an idea that couldn't evolve and ended up in a forgettable studio album. But surely we can tell that she's got the ability to make some good songs as "dark horse" showed that dark side she promised some months ago. It's not a bad album and there's still some tunes worth listening to like "legendary lovers" this is how we do" and the sexy "birthday"

Mar 1, 2014While Prism has some great songs, and Perry's voice is beautiful, it feels like the ulterior motive behind this album was to produce a mainstream hit, and while, yes, every album does that, Prism feels like there's no emotional meaning BUT to make a hit.
-
Apr 5, 2014I don't believe that Prism want the top of Billboard. Not just it. The musics Roar and This is How we do are some of boring musics. She needed to care about the musical bridges. It'd dinamize this album. But the rest, it's a awesome album.

Dec 5, 2014I like almost all songs from this album, they are a mixture of styles, Roar sounds epic while (the video) of Birthday is incredibly funny, I laugh each time I replay it, basically all in this album is likeable.
-
Sep 7, 2014Este álbum é muito bom. Ele é muito mais maduro que Teenage Dream, mas há músicas divertidas. De triste feliz, este álbum cai muito bem em todos os tipos de situações. O melhor da Katy,sem dúvidas.
-
Sep 4, 2014a pop classic

Sep 19, 2014Sem duvida, um dos melhores discos de 2013. Katy conseguiu criar um album nem tanto comercial, mas que trás mensagens magníficas. Devemos ouvir o PRISM com o coração, pela sua grandiozidade.

Oct 17, 2015Prism is a amazing album. Katy shows how she can write simple and beautiful songs with personal messages. Prism mixture fun songs with ballads and songs of self control. Yes, Prism is her light

Dec 6, 2013Everything that is missing from [Lady Gaga's Artpop] is here, but everything that is good about it is spectacularly absent from Prism.

Q MagazineNov 22, 2013Prism feels transitional, the work of an artist clever enough to be restless, yet unable to split from a winning formula. [Dec 2013, p.110]
-
Nov 14, 2013It doesn’t require the patience or emotional/intellectual involvement that albums I typically listen to require. The cool thing, though, is that it does have quite a bit of redeeming value.
