Nov 8, 2013This is album is not bad, but it doesn't bring something special and interesting, It's just like what she used to do, Music for teenagers, I'm not a teenager sorry.
It would be more interesting if she tried to work with new producers, and try to bring something new, when I hear the album in full I just feel the previous one -

Nov 7, 2013PRISM is the Album of the Millennium, ARTPOP is trash. Quality over quantity any day. Katy is the new Queen of Pop for this generation, since she basically is the most popular current celebrity.
-
Nov 7, 2013I like just ROAR its very good and catchy but other songs OMG Katy and Prism is soooooo floppy and BASICK as B**ch. Katy is like butterfly without wings And Katy can not sing live Its ridiculous
-
Nov 7, 2013Prism is a album which is filled with interesting music. Stand-outs from this album include Legendary Lovers and Dark Horse with their amazing production and vocals Katy has shown. Although half way through this album, it seems to fade. Overall this album is a good but somewhat dull album that fades halfway through.

Nov 7, 2013the same as always, Katy does not change, afraid! the same as always, Katy does not change, afraid! the same as always, Katy does not change, afraid!!!

Nov 7, 2013Esperava mais da Katy Perry! O Álbum não condiz aos seus countdowns! WOTA e DH são músicas ótimas e mostrou a versatilidade da cantora. Roar uma música sem muita pretensão e que teve um belo desemprenho. Fora isso o álbum está bem monotóno!
-
Nov 7, 2013Congratulations Katy,
Its her best work, Mature songs. She found herself, good compositions, different musics, will surely come many hits this album.
AMAZING!! -

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, 2013I like this album. She's more mature. Roar is epic, love the chorus and the Rooooarrrr!. Walking On Air too. And Unconditionally... very deep! Well, this is not the best album of the year, but she's definitely evolving.
-
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
-
Nov 5, 2013What an absolutely fantastic album. Katy has given use one of the most fun, catchy, cohesive, and introspective pop albums in years!
Best tracks: "Birthday", "Double Rainbow", "Roar", "By the Grace of God", and "International Smile" -

Nov 4, 2013There are standout tracks like Legendary Lovers, Walking on Air and Dark Horse. I feel like the second half of the album is full of fillers. Some songs are not memorable at all.
-
Nov 3, 2013Prism surprised me by being a mature, light, and fun album. Katy has found her voice and the great thing is that Katy actually has found what she should be doing. My favorites are roar, uncondentially, and dark horse. So good job Miss perry
-
Nov 3, 2013solid pop album facets of polished generic mainstream appeal for the era of 2013 with shades of dark and light and pop princess gloss it is very much teenage dream part 2 a slight upgrade…. a slight slice of another pop success….key tracks: legendary lovers, dark horse, ghosts, double rainbow, roar, it takes two

Nov 2, 2013Now, she said this album was gonna be dark. With the exception of tracks such as Dark Horse, it's a quality that is constantly lacked. But for what was released, I guess it's good overall. This sounds a lot more mature than the previous two albums which is undeniable by any listener. Even people who hate Katy Perry.
-
Nov 2, 2013You were a person very different on this album, Miss Perry. No words to say how much the PRISM gave a touch of immaturity in music this year, as a song from Katy says, "You change your mind, like a girl changes clothes", she showed that surely has changed and for the better! But that still left the missing girl mature One of the Boys.
-
Nov 1, 2013Definitely a feel good and lighthearted album, about overcoming relationships or tough times in ones life. The album has a great 90s pop vibe. Katy Perry has definitely come a long way.
-
Oct 29, 2013Without doubt, Katy made one of the best albums of the year, because the pop candy made in another album totally not repeated in PRISM, it is something more personal and different than anything, I think she finally evolved and more pleased.
I hope it continues well, without lapsing, many songs can be seized. -
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.

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! -

Oct 24, 2013unfortunately i did not like this album, it is very superficial, it does not have a good artistic view, it´s just pop songs with trash lyrics, so it is

Oct 23, 2013overall, this isn't her best album. it's a very tiring record, it basically sounds like one mediocre song, and for on of the main pioneers of pop this just doesn't do. there are a few standout tracks though: dark horse, birthday and walking on air are the main highlights of a soulless dreading listen.

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 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.

Oct 23, 2013Katy Perry delivers a club-banging album you could dance all night to. However, that is perhaps all there is to the much-anticipated album: an album you get wasted to, nothing more.
-
Oct 23, 2013Melhor álbum da Katy Perry, mostrou uma grande evolução.
Ja fui correndo comprar o meu nas duas versões, normal e deluxe. amei;
Roar ja e um hino no Brasil, fez bastante sucesso.
As cancões Dark Horse e Walking on Air chegaram ao topo das paradas Brasileiras.
Sem duvida vai fazer bastante sucesso por aqui.
Espero encontrar Katy na sua próxima tour pelo Brasil. -

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!

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!
-
Oct 22, 2013Just the same generic song, made for the charts
= Teenage Dream and One of the Boys. #1 hits but
no evolution, no memorable song, no art
, no quality, fake emotions -
Oct 22, 2013When we talked about Katy Perry we imagine the "Californa Gurl" who lives her Teenage Dream, but now Katy is just a girl trying to find her own new style in music. PRISM is not her best album and she knows she can do better things.
-
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".
-
Oct 22, 2013well, everything she said gone wrong....she said this one would be darkest but i didn't really see anything differente about her music..it's always the same and this just gets me bored
-
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 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 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, 2013much ballad, very cheerful music
songs of self control and music to make it clear that you send.
Congratulations katy.
music highlights
It Takes Two, and Love Me Roar course -
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, 2013It seems like the album was made for a unique objective: Charts. Devoid of any artistic intention, Prism is just another album with some mainstream songs that probably will be on top of the Billboard Hot 100.
-
Oct 22, 2013Sounds like Katy finally found her sound. This record is more sober than her previous one and the music is also more serious. She ranges from dance beats to sweet ballads. Hold on tight, haters, Katy is back, better than ever and ready for more #1's.

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.
