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, 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, 2013much ballad, very cheerful music
songs of self control and music to make it clear that you send.
Congratulations katy.

It Takes Two, and Love Me Roar course -
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, 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 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

Nov 12, 2017Prism es un Álbum Increíble, llego de Cosas Maravillosas, la Música se te Mete en la venas Katy es una Diosa, Lengendary Lovers, es un Te-mazo para sacar como Single. lo cual no se dio pero nos recompenso con Unconditionally
-
Jan 9, 2018este album podria decirse que es un contra a teenage dream una respuesta madura hacia ese sueño adolescente

Jan 5, 2018Prism is my favorite Katy Perry album, I love all the sounds and the songs, the lyrics, everything, it's just perfect, I LOVE IT
-
Oct 30, 20202013 was a good year for the great Katy Perry. Prism is fascinating it has songs jewels like Legendary Lovers, Unconditionally, Ghost, and don't forget the iconic smash-hits "Roar" and "Dark Horse".
-
Jun 8, 2017Filled with powerful ballads such as This Moment and Ghost, PRISM delivers Perry in its essence, not to mention the good pop beat that features such hymns as Roar, Dark Horse and Legendary Lovers.
-
Aug 8, 2017Great 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.
-
Jan 19, 2019pop perfection with two diamonds singles. Ugh her mind WIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
-
Sep 8, 2019Álbum mais coeso e lírica superior aos outros antecessores. "Walking On Air" definitivamente deveria ter se tornado single.
-
Jun 5, 2015Não há progresso em relação aos Álbuns anteriores, é comercial, feito pra vender.
as músicas boas são Spitual, Ghost, By The Grace of God, Choose Your Battles e It Takes Two, espero que ela traga musicas suaves assim pra próxima era ou seja Dark.
This Is How We Do ? Descarte do Teenage Dream, esqueceram de colocar e botaram nesse -
Sep 7, 2015In 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.
-
Sep 9, 2015Its okay!
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 -
Sep 13, 2015I 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.
-
Oct 30, 2015After 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.

Mar 27, 2020For me it's an okay album. It's just a pure pop, and nothing else. It doesn't mean that I don't admire songs from this album, but I simply prefer One of the Boys.
-
Jun 4, 2020PRISM combina tudo o que Katy Perry faz de melhor: batidas dançantes, melodias "chiclete" e letras cativantes, gerando um conjunto sonoro de pura elegância. É na minha opinião sua obra prima.
-
May 6, 2020Prism is best Katy Perry album, I love all the sounds and the songs, the lyrics, everything, it's just perfect, I LOVE IT
-
Sep 4, 2019Sin duda uno de los mejores albums, que contiene hits tan tan icónicos como Roar que es una de las canciones más vendidas, y el video femenino más visto cerca de 3B visitas en YouTube, lo que indica su gran potencial, además de hits como Dark Horse que batió todo tipo de récords, o temazos únicos como Unconditionally o hits como Walking on Air, Katy demostró su mejor cara en este álbum.
-
Sep 17, 2019an incredible album by an incredible Artist which deserves way more credit and acclimation than it receives. The second coming of pop music that Katy has once again defined pop music for centuries to come.

Mar 26, 2020The best album of Katy perry , since teenage dream who was very good to . She is an incredible songwriter
-
Mar 27, 2020I love how to see Katy evolve and grown as a human. It was basically evident to her 3rd studio album, Prism. This is a great way to continue her sophomore album which has brought a lot of bangers.
-
Jun 6, 2020No doubt, Prism is the best album of Katy Perry. I absolutely love the composition, the melody, the lyrics, the production. I love how each songs have different messages. Listening to this album is so fresh and fun, and amazing. One of the best pop albums of the decade of 2010s. Let that sink in.
-
Apr 20, 2020The best album ever!, also consider listening on Prism (Deluxe). Presenting my faves:
-Legendary Lovers
-Ghost
-Double Rainbow
-It takes two
-Spiritual -
Jun 3, 2020The best album by Katy Perry, beautiful lyrics, meanings, we can appreciate a mature grown woman talking about her life. Prism deserved even more. Walking on Air is the best song in the album (based in production); It takes two is such a masterpiece just because of the lyrics,
-
May 30, 2020Katy Perry is Amazing singer. She's funny, creative, happy, sexy and power woman. She's fantastic and evolved talent!

Jun 2, 2020A perfeição do pop. Katy nos entrega uma sonoridade super agradável, com músicas dançantes e marcantes.

Aug 28, 2020This album only getting 69 ratings only in user score whattt i mean we all know roar and dark horse are the best songs of the century
-
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.
-

Oct 27, 2013Teenage dream will continue to be her best album, with that said Prism is not bad but it's lacking a lot of songs fill like fillers.

Dark horse

Feb 4, 2015That sounds so good! Katy sounds more mature, with incredible lyrics and beats! The Katy Perry musical's evolution scared me, not to candy and comemrcial but not so scared like One Of the Boys, Katy found her way! I love Legendary Lovers and this album desurve a 10.

Nov 22, 2013Prism is certainly one of the best cds of the year. Shows a maturing due to the katy, and features songs with more quality. The only track that recalls the teenage dream is "Roar", but "Prism" is nonetheless one of the most mature cds katy already done. The best tracks are "Legendary Lovers," "This Moment" and "By the grace of god".
-
Nov 12, 2013Her newest album, Prism, is a disappointment if one is going to hold on to her words promising a darker tune. It's full of cliches, the tracks sound alike and pales in comparison to her magnum opus which was Teenage Dream (and even that was full a factory made album designed to cater to the gullible masses).
-
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 9, 2013Its disappointed me! Its not fresh,unique!!! i dont think if this album not make by the name "Katy Perry" will have people buy it.... And this Album is not Katy Perry at all!!! The only reason i can think of y this album can be on top just because its by "Katy Perry"! DISAPPOINTED
-
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, 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.

Nov 12, 2013Will Katy Perry ever dismiss herself as the bubblegum pop sell out that she is? Yet another boring, repetitive album. I look forward to the day when we hear something different from Ms. Perry. Right now, she's a perfect marketing machine with no decent output.
-
Sep 8, 2014PRISM é o album mais mediano de Katy Perry, A primeira metade é a melhor, todas as faixas são boas. Porém, depois da faixa 9, as faixas começam a decair e ficar cansativas, nem dá vontade de ouvir completo.
-

Dec 31, 2013PRISM is a pure pop. Good easy-to-listen songs with nice lyrics. Maybe there is less number of potential hits than in Teenage Dream, I see a progress in her artistic work. The best songs for me are: Birthday (so catchy!), Walking On Air (Sounds like in 90s! Yay!), Dark Horse (I haven't expected such song from Katy) and By the Grace of God.

May 30, 2015this is the best perry album without a shadow of doubt, I found a smart move to split the album into 2 parts, commercial and emotional, unlike the other two, ONE OF THE BOYS is a confusing and horrible mixture of 2, the TEENAGE DREAM is entirely commercial, anyone who understands music can see that this is your best
-
Aug 11, 2015This album is awesome, the best disco pop in milenium, the musics are very happy, make me dance, the mellody are sweet, Katy Perry sold this album a lot things, Katy perry is the best artist ever

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, 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 12, 2013They all sound the same. Where is her diversity? She is always so safe with her music choices. The expectation didn't live up to the hype. Sure she has an okay singing voice but with all the ballads and slow tempo songs, it's basically the same song interpreted in 15 different ways. BEYOND disappointed.
-
Nov 12, 2013i don't know why, but listening to this makes me angry1 it''s boring and so many ballads, i was over it after 4 songs! such a let down, this is lame as hell! waited for her to better herself but she just sucks even more now!
-
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.

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 14, 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. This album sucks.
-
Nov 16, 2013
-
Nov 13, 2013A very boring Album. No surprises, no style. Katy didn't gave us somethig new to listing. Just more of the same ever. The only track that maybe can save the album is "Dark Horse", even through it isn't enough. Not this time Katy, keep trying to make a nice album... who knows in the next year.
-
Nov 12, 2013this album is BORING as She said that her new album will be "dark and mature", and all I can hear is all Teenage Dream's sound and Roar is the only one can standout in this album
-
Nov 14, 2013As a Katycat I was highly disappointed with Katy's new album. I thought it was going to be her dark era yet she comes out with this "spread the light" nonsense. To top it all off, 'Walking On Air' (aka the best song on the album) was released as a promo single
-
Nov 14, 2013Not a step up from Teenage Dream at all most of the songs sound like its generic left overs.The second half of the album is better than the first.Katy has all these creative producers and this is all they could come up with? There are some good tracks Spiritual, It Takes Two, Legendary Lovers and Ghost. One of the Boys still remains Katy's best and most mature albums to date.
-
Nov 15, 2013She really is bland. The most successful song "Rawr" could easily be confused for a Disney song super cheesy and annoying. If this album wins her any Grammys, they've lost all credibility to me.
-
Nov 11, 2013All i have to say is: Worst album of the year she need to grow up
stop with this teenage crap it's sounds like she's trying to be robyn
all the record sounds the same. -
Nov 8, 2013A album made of fillers and boring songs, one extention of teenage dream and her terrible first album One of the boys. Forgot Dr. Luke & Max Martin Perry
-
Nov 7, 2013
-
Nov 12, 2013I just can say that Prism is one of the most bored albums that I have listened. I just can say that the only song that I like is Legendary Lovers. I can't understand how successful Roar has been. Is a simply and childish song... Mi rate: 1
-
Nov 14, 2013It is too boring from the start to the end... Not interesting at all. She should leave songwriting to people who know how to do it, and do what she was always doing.
-
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 16, 2013All songs sound like fillers. Not really much that stands out. Not even the lead single Roar was impressing. Many songs are good like Legendary Lovers and Unconditionally but they all sound the same. It isnt really diverse. It does have more lyrical meaning than Teenage Dream so props to that. I think many were disappointed by this album since we were expecting more.
-
Nov 17, 2013Katy did it again, she is fresh, this record is amazing, she is honest and the most beautiful I've found in this album, is this sound of contemporary christian music, I think she finally found a balance between the mainstream and a great sound. Besides, her lyrics and her voice are the best.
-
Dec 11, 2013Once again katy perry had created a good records
Even if the album wasn't at the price of 0.99 cent(born this way)
It climbed to the heart of many without needing to please our wallets -
Jan 23, 2015Perfeição, apenas. A Katy Perry sempre faz um ótimo trabalho em seus álbuns. Porém, não tem como agradar todo mundo não é?! O álbum é ótimo, e quem sabe aproveitar a musica, sabe do que estou falando.
-
Jan 25, 2015Katy Perry has come a long way. This is almost the raw emotion and fun of her life since her last album. Every song is either really personal or just fun. Her aim was just to do what she wanted to do and not win awards and be #1.
-
Nov 11, 2013Had high hopes for this album but was actually very disappointed! It's very similar to the Katy of all other albums, and i think including some different sounds or even a slightly different theme would be useful to freshen things up and keep people interested! It's about time she stopped making music just to gain single chart success and make an album of good quality!
-
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.

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.
