Nov 14, 2013This album is really boring and completely forgettable, I'm very dissapointed because Teenage Dreams was a good album and now she is trying to repeat each song, Birthday California Gurls, Unconditionally Wide Awake And Roar is a Brave ripoff.

Dec 21, 2013What is this? I mean, what she tried to do? Had she tried to break away from it all one day she ever done? She wasnt so different from Teenage Dream, except the part that Prism has a lot of boring musics! Katy, I dont hear you roar.

Oct 29, 2013Katy always worked, without ashamed to show it's a Pop Star, 'Teenage Dream' is quite exciting, when you want to hear a good Pop, who does not think about him? On his new album, 'Prism', Perry seems to have the need to prove that we can present something different, when all we want is more Katy Perry, of course, that renew every job is always good, the error in 'Prism' is that it does not work.

Nov 9, 2013A generic pop album by a bubblegum generic pop singer. Seriously, people, what's wrong with you? These stupid pop artists will NEVER stop making horrible music if you guys still buying their songs.
-
Sep 18, 2014The most uninspired record I've ever heard. It sounds like it was made in 30 minutes. Everything is calculated to appeal to the younger generation, all the songs are full of clichés and aimed at sales only. Awful. Music at its worst.
-
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.
-
Nov 11, 2013Katy Perry 's new album "PRISM" is her worst album ever Only "Roar" is good the others songs are so bad When I buy "PRISM" i was so happy to listen her new album After the end of the album i was so confused because "PRISM" is her worst album ever
-
Nov 11, 2013The production on this album is quite wonderful, but Katy's vocal deliverance is, yet again, absolutely painful and over processed. It's as if Kidz Pop re-recorded Madonna's, "Ray of Light," but replaced the lyrics with nursery rhymes and clichés instead of the original content.

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".
-
Dec 9, 2013Overall, Katy Perry's ''PRISM'' is an extremely bland album (even boring at points) with little intention other than to be on top of the charts. Key tracks are ''Unconditionally'', ''Dark Horse (feat. Juicy J)'' and ''Legendary Lovers''.
-
Nov 11, 2013This is a fun album that should do fairly well on the charts (if that's what is important these days..) but I can't help but feel it's a bit of an empty sterile shell. I can't really connect to this.
-
Aug 28, 2014One of the worst albums my ears has had the displeasure of hearing. This album is horrific, bland, uninspired, cliche as **** & is step back from the other albums (though to be fair her earlier work sucks too). Don't buy this pile of feces.

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 6, 2013A step down from teenage dream and One of the Boys... a few stand out tracks such as legendary lovers, dark horse, roar, unconditionally, international smile, and double rainbow. Besides those tracks it is all filler.

Nov 6, 2013There isn't a doubt that Katy produces hits But she lacks artistic integrity This album supposedly is about transitioning into a different style for Katy but the result eventually is sonically predictable
-
Sep 23, 2014This is the worst of katy perry's albums, and wait it's wrong to say that this is her album, she didn't write nothing, she pay to have te song, by the way the album is very very boring, it seem a copy and paste to "her" past song
-
Sep 24, 2014This is me most reductive album i ever heard, the songs should be used to torture someone and other thing, a singer who can't even sing? STOP THE WORLD NOW, I WANNA OUT.
-
Aug 21, 2015Basic, formulaic and the vocals will hurt your ears. Katy stitches together the same cloth 16 different ways on this album to make it's tracks. Such a downgrade from Teenage Dream, which was at least full of bops.

Sep 26, 2014I used to like her music. It is quite upsetting knowing she made these songs for the charts. She needs to be more fearless and "roar" with something better.
-
Nov 18, 2013The best album from Katy Perry. She's finally "can see herself" and did it. So now we can hear the reflection of these lights that was inside her, and now it's outside for us!

Jun 20, 2014Album legalzinho,até escutável,temos boas músicas com Dark Horse e Legendary Lovers mas tantas músicas sujam o album.
O album levaria um 4,mas darei 5 por ainda ter a esperança da Katy anterior. -
Aug 22, 2014I don't like the songs, a bad album! Katy Perry is always doing the same thing, nevver change, i'm tired of her songs. She is not creative, she's boring, and her songs too.
-
Sep 23, 2014This album is so common, current and plane that will surely please the public. It is an ordinary album for ordinary people.
Katy Perry abused to be the same as ever, without growing or propose as an artist: she is not an artist. She just wants to sell tracks as stupid as "Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar".
Besides her vocals lacerate ears on tracks like Unconditionally. -
Sep 23, 2014Everything is very reductive and generic... Maybe Dark Horse is somewhat nice but cmon... this gurl needs to stop the autotune... work harder katy otherwise find a new work

Oct 23, 2015This is a very bland album. Nothing stands out in any way and it seems like it's just a watered down version of something Lady Gaga would release. 0/10 if I could, don't waste your money.

Dec 17, 2014Si se me preguntase en mi humilde opinión que pienso de Prism diría que es la fallida re invención de Katy Perry, sus canciones son pegajosas, pero esta colmadas de Clichés que simplemente no hacen de esta una experiencia original, y llendo en contra de los críticos, en mi opinión, el mejor álbum de Katy Perry es Teenage Dream.
-
Dec 5, 2013She said that the album is 'dark' but i don't seems to see any 'darkness' inside. Roar being the first single doesn't really represents the album. Too much ballad at the end and very generic. Choice of producers are very limited too, hopefully she venture into other producers other than Dr Luke.
-
Oct 18, 2015some real emotions song , by the grace of god, and some commercial bubble pop , this is how we do.
she should do more meaningful song instead bubble pop -
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, 2013This album tries to be mature and to sound interesting, but it fails at it.
There are a few good songs like Dark Horse, Unconditionally and walking on air. -
Feb 16, 2014this album avoids any artistic intention, it was just made for the charts and for the money, this young beautiful lady can't even write a song by herself, and when it comes to the voice it's like hearing a 5 year old girl dreaming with being a star. Horrible.
-
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.
-
Jul 29, 2014What's good in the album gets overshadowed by mediocre and superficial tracks that were only created to satisfy bodies and ears for just a couple of minutes without letting any single hope of teaching or message. In other words, here we've got a lot to dance with, but few (or nothing) to think about or through. Unsubstantial.
-

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.
-
Feb 27, 2014

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.
-
May 21, 2014Honestly a very catchy top 40 record. Now it's not amazing at all, but it's good for what it is. Most of the singles are guilty pleasures, but the rest of the LP falls flat.

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
music highlights, cheerful songs
a true masterpiece
it takes two probably the best lyrically song on the album, by the grace of god one of the best songs ever written with such a deep meaning -
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.

-
Dec 27, 2014This album have good songs, but most of them look like the same! I like Katy Perry but and I really think she did a great job with this album but she need to do different things and get out of her comfort zone.
-
Dec 12, 2014Her best album, for sure it's not repetitive, we can see a more personal Katy, we can hear her voice, pop anthems and strong powerfull ballads and amazing lyrics, makes this album one of the bests albums of 2013.

Oct 17, 2015este album foi o melhor desta década teve um otimo impulso no mundo Katy Perry mostrou se mais forte e mais corajosa doque em Teenage Dream , este é o primeiro melhor album de 2013/2014 em seguida vem 1989 da Taylor Swift . Na Prismatic World Tour Katy inovou aquilo nao merece ser chamado de um show e sim de um espetaculo

Oct 23, 2013I don't think this album is good enough to follow up to the amazing Teenage Dream, this album just lacks something. It just gets boring after listening to the first 3-5 tracks and the last 8 tracks all seem like fillers.
-
Oct 22, 2013
-
Oct 26, 2013I don't like it! The only good songs (there are 16 songs) are "Roar", "Dark Horse", "Legendary Lovers", "Birthday", "Walking On Air", & "This Is How We Do". The others are trash.
Katy, I'm sorry, but your album sucks! -
Aug 26, 2014Album of the Year. It's mature and beautiful. Dark Horse is the song of the year and best Katy Perry song to date. I love ballads like By the Grace of God an Choose Your Battles.

Oct 22, 2013that album shows a maturement of katy perry!! Loved it, i mean, it is the album of the year. My favorite are: Legendary Lovers, Dark Horse, International Smile, Walking On Air, This Is How We Do, Birthday and Unconditionally!!!

Oct 22, 2013Just the same generic song, made for the charts
= Teenage Dream and One of the Boys. #1 hits but

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.
