    Simply one of the best albums pop has ever seen, very well written lyrics. This album can only be bad when compared to Teenage Dream which is an album also by Katy. I could not wait to wait for the queen.

    Melhor musica, sem duvidas, é Legendary Lovers, essa musica parece que te deixa nas nuvens, Roar e Dark Horse que são as musicas mais bem sussedidas do album, são incriveis, faceis de cantar e com um otimo instrumental, as demais musicas do album são incriveis, a escolha das faixas foi perfeita e a sonoridade incrivel.

    Katy suena muy madura en este álbum, incorporó nuevos sonidos como el oriental Legendary lover y el noventero Walking on air. En cuanto a mensajes la canción Love me y Roar son excelente para sentirse seguro contigo mismo y la sensación de pureza y tranquilidad que expresa Double rainbow como la sinceridad de It takes two hacen de este álbum una excelente opción.

    Por mucho el mejor trabajo de Katy. Esto no es sólo otro intento de Pery de llenar un álbum con música carente de sentido que sólo sirve para pasar un buen rato mientras escuchas la radio, esto es maduro y consistente.

    Without a doubt, this is Perry's best effort. It is pure pop and iconic. Standout tracks are Roar, Unconditionally, By The Grace of God, Love Me and Dark Horse. This album carries so many messages of love, light and life. It truly is an inspiration and has lyrics that are cleverly written and pure fun. This album is one word - genius.

    Unlike her old album, Katy shows her this more closed side, despite having very contagious tracks. PRISM is an album in which it promised a lot and fulfilled wonderfully well. Perry shows once again how to command pop.

    She for the first time sounds like a real artist, who has found herself and who has many things to tell from the experience of love and desolation. Prism contains the best lyrics of her career, cohesive songs. Absolutely, we also have that Perry's essence (childish) that should already put aside.

    While PRISM may not be quite as fun or fresh as Teenage Dream, it is still very enjoyable and packs in a considerable amount of punch. Like her previous releases, there were a couple of ones I wasn’t crazy about, but overall PRISM is a consistently good album, specifically the second half. I enjoyed seeing the new direction Katy Perry took with her music. While I may not have enjoyed some of this new style at times as much as her previous stuff, I still really liked a considerable amount of the songs from PRISM. I liked her creative use of synths and how they worked together with guitar and piano tracks.

    Due to the character limit, I am unable to provide my entire commentary.

    All in all, PRISM is another solid album from Katy Perry. I thought the new direction of music was fitting, slowly progressing in her career from rock to pop, and PRISM was full of fun, poppy songs. I had previously heard tracks such as Roar from this album, Firework from Teenage Dream, and Hot N Cold from One Of The Boys, but after PRISM I don’t believe I know what her new styles sound like. Hopefully she just stays in the realm of pop and doesn’t go overly-mainstream. Fans of pop music should enjoy this album, and this has been a great experience so far travelling down her career path, and elements of her origins are evident in PRISM. I really enjoyed this album and I cannot wait to dive into her next release. Highlights: Roar, Birthday, Unconditionally, This Is How We Do, International Smile, Ghost, This Moment, Love Me, By The Grace Of God, and It Takes Two.

    The album is no longer a sickening thing, there are songs that are missing and are sounding empty but there at the end of the album, it gets more and more enjoyable to listen to! Katy Perry is in a new thing, and coming out of that world of colors as it was. This album is the living proof of one of the great evolutions that she will have to face.

A cantora conversa sobre diversos assuntos em seu disco, como por exemplo a espiritualidade, que ela não havia abordado em nenhum outro trabalho. Katy também fala sobre relacionamentos, sua capacidade para fazer e produzir coisas e a forma como ela vive a vida. É o disco de pop que o mundo precisava. Se você reparar bem, Prism é dividido em duas partes, assim como o “Reputation” de Taylor Swift. De um lado temos grandes faixas otimistas, e do outro há músicas que usam do sentimentalismo exagerado, dando uma sensação de confessionário. Expand

    Her most spiritual album and also her best yet. The album concept perfectly suits the album cover. She describes how good life is, she's in her spiritual and legendary state of her career. So far "International Smile, Roar and Ghost" are my favorite songs.

    It has a more mature album, but still in this comfort zone. Katy Perry has the vision of working with producers she works with but not her own. The album has its good sound, strong compositions, but at the same time its best songs are at the end where we have no reach and we are already sick of listening to many songs and perhaps even with the same pop sound as Teenage Dream.

    Prism is a fun, listenable pop album. I’m mean yes it isn’t the best lyrically but it’s a very enjoyable. My favorites are Roar, Legendary Lovers, Ghost, Unconditionally, By the grace of god, and It takes two.

    My least favorites are Choose your Battles

    Overall score: 9/10

    This is easily the best album by Katy Perry. She sounds like a grown woman, who finally found herself after a Teenage Dream. This album might not be as successful as Teenage Dream, but artistically speaking, it is a more mature album.

    Album coeso, trouxe uma nova sonoridade para a carreira com relances das antigas eras. Porém a partir da 5ª faixa a sonoridade não muda muito, se tornando algo muito monótono de se ouvir.

    A exemplificação perfeita de um enorme sucesso em todos os sentidos possíveis, liricamente, comercialmente e sonoramente. Com certeza foi um salto na carreira da Katy, um álbum muito profundo e inspirador. Unconditionally, Roar, Spiritual, Double Rainbow, Love Me, Legendary Lovers e Walking On Air são apenas alguns dos vários destaques positivos do álbum, além, é claro, da música maisA exemplificação perfeita de um enorme sucesso em todos os sentidos possíveis, liricamente, comercialmente e sonoramente.

    O álbum tem dois temas que se completam. Um lado intimista sobre sentimentos e o outro sobre dançar em todos os momentos.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Definetely not a bad album, it's actually pretty good - considering it's Katy Perry. For me - Katy is song superstar. She has megahits, but other song are... hm, they do sound flat for me. But not on Prism. All singles are my favourite, plus Legendary Lovers sounds really good and it's shame it's not another album's single. The rest of the songs arent bad either. All of them are listenable. Maybe her best album. Expand

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

    Prism feels transitional, the work of an artist clever enough to be restless, yet unable to split from a winning formula. [Dec 2013, p.110]

    It 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.
