    This album is not a masterpiece, but it's a great pop album. It's just as commercial as Teenage Dream, but it has some inspirational songs like Choose Your Battles, Spiritual and Unconditionally.

This last one is a strong ballad that may burst eventually; highlight verses: "Acceptance is the key to be truly free" and "I'll take your bad days with your good". Teenage Dream was so "made for party hard", but this album has both sides. The first part (1-8) shows the "fun" moment of the album, while the second (9-16) shows the stronger lyrics and productions, really unique songs. Special attention to the bonus tracks; these three tracks are her best songs ever: It Takes Two, Spiritual (I feel some touch of Alanis Morissette listening to it) and Choose Your Battles (this and By The Grace Of God both were co-produced by her). No need too much to realize that she took a step forward in her career, she just needs to focus more in her music, not only the charts.… Expand

    mesmo que fosse um álbum ruim ainda seria bom PRISM album da carreira e divisor de águas
    spiritual, this moment, international smile, Ghost e unconditionally são as melhores faixas desse álbum.

    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.

    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.

    A lot of this album is very forgettable. The stretch of Walking on air, Legendary Lovers, and Dark Horse, along with Birthday, is really good, but the rest is either cringeworthy or forgettable.

    Prism marked the change of Katy going from "I wanna make big hits" to "I wanna make meaningful hits" and did that really work? Well Roar was a fun song it was definitely in line with Shake It Off, where it's not a great song but it gets the message across. So the era started off on an ok hit. And we got a few tastes of the album before it came out and they were ok.

And we got a few tastes of the album before it came out and they were ok. When the album came out I was kind of scared because Katy's idea of a meaningful song was just meh to me and a lot of other people. And I was right the album had a few fun songs, but the songs that were supposed to be taken seriously were just not. Katy created another decent album and of course it did not have Teenage Dream's sales success or song success. The only song after Roar to be a real hit was Dark Horse which was a semi-big hit but of course still not as big as anything like her recent bangers. This album marked the decline of her career commerical wise and quality wise.… Expand

    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 feels like a repeat of the Tenage Dream formula. Alhtough there are substantial songs like Spiritual, This Moment and Legendary Lovers, the whole is just disconnected. Its an album made of different songs together, sometimes feeling empty and with no self identity.

    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.

    Prism was one of the best records released in 2013. With its more mature lyrics, Katy proved herself much more than others thought about her. This time Katy bother to speak her truth instead of just releasing pop music generics.

    A great album. A very mature album in which Katy knew how to work very well, tracks 9, 11, 13 and 16 are there to prove everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    She sounds like a woman, an artist, oh honey,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.

    This is undoubtedly Katy's best album so far, it has wonderful lyrics that take you out of evil (Roar) lyrics that show you how important it is to love me. I hope she can get over her next album.

    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.

    PRISM is quite the disappointing follow-up to Teenage Dream, which was already a mediocre album. The album may have produced two number 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, but the songs are pure trash. This is the beginning of the end of her career.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Um dos melhores albuns do ano de 2013, e um dos melhores da decada,Katy soube se reinventar mas sem perder sua essencia alegre e contagiante, da para perceber sua grande evolução de cara no hit Dark Horse e Walking on Air e nas baladas This Moment e Double Rainbow, alem de que ela deu uma volta mais q perfeita no seu passado com a graciosa By The Grace Of God com uma marca cristã… Expand

    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.

    Katy Perry's third studio album 'Prism' is a masterpiece. The side b (songs 9-16) reveals her greatest potential as a composer and leads us through inspiring emotions.

    This Queen of pop has songs for all situations like when you're happy can hear international smile or Roar and when you're sad can hear ghost or choose your battles even when you're in love can hear unconditionally

    "You're gonna hear me roar!" Katy keeps wailing on the first track of this collection of generic pop songs that is called an album. And then this album swims through a sea of clichés, ah-ohs, and improper enunciations, which as for the latter, it's "TWENTY TWENTY" not "TWUNNY TWUNNY." The music sounds like something that comes out of Barney or Teletubbies, bright yet cheap. And Katy Perry"You're gonna hear me roar!"

Of course, Katy Perry churns out nothing but meaningless drivel, so expectations are low. Yes, Katy Perry is famous, but more like Wayne Newton famous. It's appalling that people's standards are so low that they are willing to accept this rubbish. But if you even like music, never give Katy Perry a chance. Please don't, or Katy Perry will ruin music forever like how Donald Trump and his Russian minions destroyed global diplomacy.

    On another note, Katy Perry has the worst Superbowl halftime show of all time, even worse than any Up With People show or that laughable Elvis Presto.    … Expand

    Katy Perry's 3rd studio album, is a step up from her last two efforts. Katy is at her best with songs like "Legendary Lovers" and "By The Grace Of God." But stays in her immature pop phase with songs like "International Smile" and "This Is How We Do

    It is the sign of the soul and inspiration of Katy Perry. concretized art and unique, perfect quality. katy shows a maturity in their sound and style that takes on this album. returns to his gospel roots, taking new sounds and experiences during his tour of fame.

    Eu amo incondicionalmente a Katy e seus trabalhos e sempre serei parcial quanto a minha opinião aqui expressa.
    Amo muitas faixas do PRISM, mas tem umas que não tem como defender a honra desse álbum com faixas tão genérias e batidas como "Birthday, This Is How We Do e International Smile".

    Amazing album, full of artistic intention and autobiographic content (By the grace of god, unconditionally (wrote in vietnam on unicef mission, inspired by the love of a mother for her children, spiritual...) lots of influences, like r&b and trap on dark horse, and lots of variety and a way more mature album than teenage dream. A very good album and not commecial at all

    It does have decent songs for most of it, but it lacks the dream and catchy sounds her previous album included. Songs like "Ghost" are fine, but elevator-music fine. This is not an album that a top-notch artist should release at the height of her career. Also, the vocals? Half bad, half good. It's pretty mediocre for what it is. She probably rushed into this, it's just not proper. It'sIt does have decent songs for most of it, but it lacks the dream and catchy sounds her previous album included.

Kudos for trying something new in songs like "This is how We Do" though, because for the most part, it's a fun experimentation. But, just a fun experimentation as a whole. Not a successful one.… Expand

    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.
