    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".

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

    Literally her best album (Teenage Dream can accurate). So well constructed. So many pop catchy songs, and lyrically PERFECT! Better listen to - 'Unconditionally', 'Walking On Air', 'Legendary Lovers', 'Birthday', 'Spiritual', 'Double Rainbow'... Deserved better!!!

    This album shows not only artistic growth both lyrically or sonically, but it is Perry's first album that is mature and greets her into adulthood.

    isso não é um álbum é uma bíblia sonora
    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.
    eu já disse que ele é uma bíblia sonora?

    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.

    Muy bueno, contiene temas muy llegadores como Choose Your Battles y This Moment es un balance entre la Katy pegadiza y una más madura

    My Favorites: Roar, Legendary Lovers, Walking on Air, Unconditionally,This Is How We Do, International Simle, This Moment and Choose Your Battles

    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.

    Perry's album is a masterpiece, from the beginning to the end, she put her whole heart in this and it is noticed here.

    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 is a great album. Katy always brings art, good rhythms and messages that impact us, it is one of my favorite albums due to its warmth and tranquility with a touch of madness

    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.
