Review
So, the first artist I decide to give a second project of theirs is none other than... Katy Perry. Maybe so I could get it out of the way right away? I'm not entirely sure but lol whatever. Anyways, the "Prism" era was pretty big too. At least "Roar" and "Dark Horse" were, I mean, they're both diamond and both went #1. Everything else either got caught between years ("Unconditionally"), underperformed ("Birthday"), or flopped ("This Is How We Do"). As for the album itself, it's... not as good as "Teenage Dream". It's still good, but a lot of the album cuts feel like soo much filler. "By the Grace of God" is gorgeous and actually inspirational, and "Legendary Lovers" is infectious and majestic and Katy's worst mistake was not making that a single... anyways. Everything else is either pretty good or okay. It still ended up with a 88% but it has a similar score to "Lady Wood" so I feel like it's pretty accurate. Overall, a decent, but not great album. [8/10]
