Bends Posted September 21 Author Posted September 21 Allmusic, 1.5 out 5. One of the most respectable music editorials of all time. Though at a certain time she was uncontestable pop royalty, Katy Perry's creative vision (and relevance) have been in steady decline since sometime around 2015. With her seventh album 143, her crown officially falls off. Perry's once world-dominating winning streak began to slip with the confused political messaging and EDM attempts of 2017's Witness, and her 2020 follow-up, Smile, failed to ignite sparks of either inspiration or even nostalgia in those listeners hoping for a return to the flawless, PG-13 escapist pop of the Teenage Dream era. Seemingly learning nothing from those past missteps, Perry wanders even further off the path with the lifeless, floundering reaches that make up 143. Kicking things off with the hollow, quasi-feminist sloganeering and equally generic preset disco production of lead single "Women's World," 143 begins with an anthem that sounds wholly unsure of itself. Production from Dr. Luke (a controversial and misguided choice for an album that purports to be pro-woman, given his very public status as Kesha's alleged abuser) makes the tracks shiny and radio-ready, but also adds to the overall sense of stagnation that bogs down the album. When Perry does try to recapture former glories, it falls flat. "Nirvana" sounds like a dancier rewrite of "Dark Horse" with a weaker hook, and Stargate-produced album-closer "Wonder" throws multiple elements from Perry's past hits at the wall (anthemic choruses, hyper-melodic arrangement, lyrics that are vaguely encouraging to some faceless underdog) hoping something will stick. Ultimately, Perry's ongoing fall from grace is solidified on 143 not because she failed to adapt to trends or turn in something as frivolously fun and undeniably catchy as "California Gurls" 14 years later, but simply because there simply isn't a lot to like about these songs, and it's desperately lacking in the kind of lighthearted, sometimes silly, sometimes salacious fun that used to define her stardom. 143 rings the death knell for Perry for no other reason than it commits pop music's ultimate sin: it's boring.

Sugden Posted September 21 Posted September 21 Because some of these lyrics are difficult to understand, and she's the one who has to sing them. In "LIFETIMES" she seems to assert that she and her partner's love is permanent, "Like the sun is always rising/ Like the stars are in the sky," and it's like, huh, you know the sun isn't always rising, right? But her more common lyrics are vaguely cool nonsense. On "GIMME GIMME," she sings, All my girlies pop up on the regular (Yeah, yeah) Pick your poison, baby, take a bite If you want the digits to my cellular (Yeah, yeah) Gotta spend it all on me tonight

I just know the baguette that wrote the pitchfork review is gagging over the fact that they get to hammer the final nail in perry's coffin. Spoiler And who wouldn't be gagging? 5
