    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.

    The 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.

    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.

    Great 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.

    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.

    Prism is KP's most focused work to date. The album opens with the anthemic "Roar" and soars from there on. The bubblegum perfection of "Birthday" and "This Is How We Do" brighten the mood of an otherwise "safe" album. The true killer standout track is Dark Horse, a trap-influenced hip-pop song.

    This album is full of light! Katy has evolved from her One Of The Boys days, to Teenage Dream until PRISM; we can appreciate something different in each song, from Roar to Choose Your Battles each one has a special meaning and a different spectrum but all together in the PRISM record. This album shows Katy going from a dark moment to a light ful one. The PRISM record is an absolute piece of art

    Even that rather predictable, it is surprising to see an artist choose this pop style in the midst of so many successful concept albums. Katy Perry showed again that does not like to surrender to the fad and eventually creating one albums which, though it may be a fairly predictable nature and not much difference from its predecessor, deserves its share of praise.

Katy Perry showed again that does not like to surrender to the fad and eventually creating one albums which, though it may be a fairly predictable nature and not much difference from its predecessor, deserves its share of praise. "Prism" has great lyrics and vibrant beats, but the excitement of trying something new is far away from here. "Prism" sounds more like a "Teenage Dream 2", but it works very well to show again the fun pop vein of Katy Perry.… Expand

    Katy Perry's Prism has shown a vulnerable side of her and the song show empowerment, commitment and faith. This shows the inside of a true artist, spreading the light in!!!

    Katy made a mistake about choosing the singles. Instead of Birthday(which had a hard disclosure) she could release Legendary Lovers, and instead of This is how we do(which ended the era) she could release Walking on air, and let another one like Birthday as a promotional single.    … Expand

    I'm surprised with the amount of negative reviews with this one. Sure its not the same with her "Teenage Dream" album. Its not as hype or fun with it but it is more mature and very positive. Its more inspiring. Well it is still Katy Perry but a lot more responsible with her actions. The songs are great and I'm impressed that she co-wrote all of them so props to Katy.

    Es una obvia evolución al escuchar todos los matices que nos ofrece PRISM, el gran trabajo en sus letras y sus sonidos hace que el fan y el melomano puedan sumergirse en un maravilloso mundo de emotividad y sentimentalismo.

    After 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.

    este 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

    I 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.

    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

    In 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.

    In Prism are included some iconic songs,meaningful songs and other boring songs...I think that Katy should work to make more interesting songs and not focus only on 4 or 5 songs of one album!!!
    P.S. I love Roar Darkhorse and Unconditionally

    Starting with good lyrics, without forgetting the "commercial song", "Prism" disc of the singer Katy Perry has both good things as bad and even disappointing in his third musical work.
    The good thing about this disc would be the maturity that includes Perry through several songs such as "Ghost", "Legendary Lovers" and "It Takes Two", Katy has a range of excellent quality songs.

    The bad in this work is truly "The Singles". Although "Roar" is a fairly mature song that gave him a positive approach to disk, this album has singles quite mediocre as "This Is How We Do" and "Birthday, also do not forget commercial song"Dark Horse"and the ballad"Unconditionally", pretty bad quality of the choice of singles." In my opinion he would have preferred "Legendary Lovers" or "Walking On Air".
    And finally, as disappointing on this album is "Total comparison with Teenage Dream", both in singles and in promotion, only Perry Teenage Dream things change and hidden them in Prism so that no one will notice it. But it is not so    … 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.
