shes really stuck in a rut at the moment, everythings just a bit ****

[Samm]

the way i hoped this era would be her comeback :skull: maybe next time

[Smithy]

Updated the OP with the song and it’s just.... boring? It doesn’t really go anywhere?

I’m honestly so mad they cancelled the era last year bc NRO is probably her best single in YEARS

Why was it cancelled? Did she release an album?

[lewis111]

Never Really Over is on this album, I’d assume they kinda restarted the era cause Small Talk and Harleys flopped so much (even though the latter still made the album)

[Smithy]

Why was it cancelled? Did she release an album?

I’m assuming it’s bc NRO didn’t go #1 which is stupid, bc it’s been the best song she’s released out of the bunch and every song since then has done worse

[MB.]

She's had over a year since Never Really Over and the best that she could come up with is... a worse version of This Is How We Do? oh Katy

[Saph]

NRO is crap tbh

Album is out, I’m only 3 tracks in but it’s already better than witness and prism

[Samm]

i actually think this is her worst.. :skull: teary eyes and cry about it later are cute and ofc harley and NRO but everything else is just bland.

[Jake.]

Yeah, it’s better than both but it’s still missing something. It’s pretty bland tbh

[Samm]

erm witness is criminally underrated, i won’t take slander

[Saph]

I actually really like the album, Daisies and Smile are terrible idk why she even bothered including them..

Teenage Dream >> One of the boys >> Smile >>>>>>>> Prism >>>>>>Witness

[Firewire]

The album is alright, nothing special. I don't think she's grown much as an artist and it's really telling.

Although Small Talk was robbed!

Debuted at #5 and it’s down to #25 this week :worry:

I actually loved this album. It's exactly the kind of music I enjoy. My 2nd favourite Katy album after Prism (although I like all a lot)

[ArgyESC]

My top:
1. Prism
Just the kind of pop I love, many would call it basic but that's exactly my taste.
2. Smile
Same.
3. Witness
Her most experimental album. Very suitable for 2017 and underrated.
4. Teenage Dream
Great bubblegum pop tunes, maybe a tad immature but it makes sense considering it was her 2nd album.
5. One of the Boys
Same basically, just a different genre, more pop-rock which is enjoyable to me as well and more suitable for that decade.

taste, Prism has a huge bop in Roar, but other strong ones on that are Unconditionally, Dark Horse

Totally. It's just well-crafted pop

[JerseyWins]

Damn so this album is more Prism-esque? :think: I don't like the more simple/boring pop ngl. Need that Teenage Dream type flare :joker:

I'll still prob give this a listen eventually

That's not bad compared to her drop in the USA, it's predicted to drop 194 places only selling 800 pure copies :worry:

i feel so bad for her because her record company aren't doing nothing with promotion.

Girl she’s been literally everywhere for promo, each song has its own music video near enough

[Tom4784]

Aside from the singles, the whole album feels like a bunch of particularly boring cut songs from her other albums thrown into one mediocre package.
