oh man bitchfork "likes" katy perry, that's really "unexpected", i was really "caught off guard" by that, usually he talks about "ambient and/or noise music", this is a "total switch up"

Katy Perry is best when she's cute. I mean her synthpop cuts are easily her best and though she occasionally hits a motivational stride it sounds more like she's a teen writing for teens on that whole mainstream streak ("Firework"), and even her less substantial cuts ("Teenage Dream") aren't wasted space. They're cute, catchy and show some amount of talent. Sometimes that's all you need.rWoulda bunped Arob's had he not put quotes around ambient and/or noise that made no sense.

OK, I have had enough of that fucking song "Firework". It's a piece of fucking shit that gets repeated ad nauseum everywhere, and it seriously needs to burn in Hell and be completely forgotten. The songs on the album Teenage Dream are no different, with songs that are lyrically trite and monotonous, especially that overplayed, HIGHLY overrated pile of fucking ass known as "Firework". I hope that song touches a dangerous firework and gets its fingers burnt to a crisp.

So, this grew on me quicker than genital warts. Was a lot more pleasant, thankfully - fun, boppy and memorable pop results in one of the best records of 2010.

It sounds as if she's happy to give the people what they want: escapism and nostalgia.

It could have been fun, but this has got some untapped potential. The choruses don't sound half as bombastic as they should, giving the record a semi-anthemic vibe that borders on tameness. That is a huge problem. This is a pop record, a summer one on top of that: it should strive for the grandiloquent. Instead, it's vapid, one-dimensional and unnecessarily mindless - "biatch" doesn't fucking rhyme with "cock". And it managed to annoy me although it's only 45 minutes long. 1.7

A really great pop album and I'm honestly mad at myself for never really getting into her until this year.

Still trashy, more colorful. Perry finds her voice and trades mean spirited, depressing shlock for pandering, tongue-in-cheek shlock. Derivative as anything, but content with it.

This is one of my most hated albums, and is everything I resent about the current music industry. The fact that this sold as much as it did contributes to the dumbing down of America (and yes, I sound like an old geezer when I say that).

Nothing comes naturally for Katy Perry. Blessed with a cheerleader’s body, the face of a second-chair clarinetist and a drama club queen’s lust for the spotlight, Perry parlayed all these qualities into success via her 2008 pop debut One of the Boys, an album that worked overtime to titillate. Working hard is Katy Perry’s stock in trade: whether she’s cavorting in the Californian sun or heaving her cleavage, she always lets you see her sweat, an effect that undercuts her status as a curvy Teenage Dream, the ideal she puts forth on her 2010 sophomore set. All this labor produces fetching magazine covers -- sometimes accompanied by good copy within -- and grabbing videos but it undoes her records, since we always hear her fighting to be frivolous. And all Perry wants to do is have fun: all she wants is to frolic in the spotlight, and she’ll follow the path of others to get there, raising eyebrows a’la Alanis, strutting like Gwen Stefani and relying on Britney’s hitmaker Max Martin for her hooks. There’s no question Perry is smart enough to know every rule in pop but she’s not inspired enough to ignore them, almost seeming nervous to break away from the de rigeur lite club beats that easily transition from day to night or the chilly, stainless-steel ballads designed to lose none of their luster on repeat plays. Perry acknowledges some shifting trends -- she salutes fellow attention-whore Ke$ha on “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.),” replicates Ryan Tedder’s glassy robotic alienation on “E.T.” but tellingly avoids ripping off Lady Gaga, who is just too meta for the blunt Katy -- but these are merely accents to her old One of the Boys palette. And, once again, the music feels familiar, so Perry distinguishes herself through desperate vulgarity, wooing a suitor with “you make me feel like I’m losing my virginity,” extolling the virtues of blackouts and an accidental ménage a trois, melting popsicles, pleading for a boy to show her his “Peacock” (chanting “cock cock cock” just in case we at home didn’t get the single entendre). All this stylized provocation is exhausting, and not just because there’s so much of it (none of it actually arousing). It’s tiring because, at her heart, Perry is old-fashioned and is invested in none of her aggressive teasing. Not for nothing did she give her best post-One of the Boys song, “I Do Not Hook Up,” to Kelly Clarkson; its pro-abstinence rally flies in the face of the masturbatory daydream she’s constructed. It's ironic that her best song finds her lurking behind the scenes, because Perry's greatest talent is to be a willing cog in the pop machine, delivering sleek singles like “Teenage Dream” and “Hummingbird Heartbeat” with efficiency. Isolated on the radio, the way “Hot N Cold” was in 2009, these singles will wind up obscuring the overheated and undercooked nature of Teenage Dream as a whole. Then again, the album itself is almost incidental to the self-styled fantasy that Katy Perry sells with this entire project.

Listened to the album again. Great songwriting and effective hooks make for a catchy and highly marketable pop record.

Peacock is by far the worst song i've heard. California Gurls sounds like some 80's dance club song.

I really expected way more from this album. not that it would be a classic but at least it would be different and funny. while the album features nice songs like teenage dream or california gurls, it has awful songs and katy stucks in the electro-disco pop bad done style ke$ha (don't get it wrong, teenage dream is way better than animal) hope katy gets over this, after all, this ain't a bad album, it just takes a few listens to get to like it.
ps: for your ears health, do not listen peacock. not even funny
