Bends Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago (edited) PopMatters: mixed Of course, whether Katy Perry's 143 will attain that "love frequency" remains to be seen, especially if it bears the lead single's tendency towards awkward self-undercutting winks. At the very least, it represents a new phase in her spiritual journey. Edited 6 hours ago by Bends 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sazare Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Even if this album were good it would be getting panned so I'm inclined to take these reviews with a grain of salt Then again the odds that Katy would make a good album in the first place are impossibly low anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well obviously, Katy's effectively replaced JLo as 2024's media punching bag I'd actually feel really bad for her if she hadn't worked with Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RideOrDie Posted 7 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 7 hours ago 1 minute ago, fa77ot said: where is @RideOrDie review? thank you for asking Spoiler Hello Kitkats and the sane users of ATRL, I come with yet another exclusive RideOrDie abloom review and inside-her tea for y'all, this time on one of my most anticipated releases of the year. Even though I was quickly banned from the 143 thread, this isn't gonna stop me from sharing my thoughts on Dr. Luke's comeback. This is for my good sis @halcyonday last post Aug 17, @Kukai last post September 7, and @katyprismspirit last post TBD. CRUSH: I think you've all heard the chorus of this, but the verses are at least listenable. It's a synth driven, thumping dance track. She's serving a high, girly voice - a flirtatious vocal performance which I prefer to her belty shtick or "sexy, c*nt-fident" vibes. Although the lyrics sound like they were written by a teenager, even more than the rest of the alboom. 2/5 Even all the birds are singing Yeah I, I got those palpitations, those boom-boom-booms I'm on a new vibration Yeah I, I need some medication, your ooh-ooh-ooh I need no explanation Is it a crush, making me blush? ARTIFICIAL: This sounds like a Kim Petty song (just like the rest of the album), it has a similar vibe to brr/BAIT. There's a darker hyperpop sensibility that Katy tries to pull off but fails. I guess it's not too far from some of the urban/r&b leaning songs she tried to do before, but her cringe vocal performance and personality prevents any sort of cuntiness from being served. And yes it sounds like Gorgeous too, which we've all unfortunately heard bits of. 1.5/5 Artificial, say what you're thinking Do you put emotions over reason Are you gonna love me like a human Can you touch me in a simulation Who's gonna save us from losing our minds Oh you're so dangerous, devil in disguise TRUTH: This one is extremely, disgustingly boring. This is my least favourite as it serves the most filler on an alboom full of fillers. I truly believe she AI'd this one, because there's no other reason why pop music is being desecrated like this. 1/5 You treat me different Tell me what's going through your mind You act so distant Who you see when you close your eyes I wanna know the truth, even if it hurt-hurts me ALL THE LOVE: Yet another cheesy, empowerment style song with a dancier mid-tempo production. I'm honestly out of words to describe them at this point, as nothing new is being offered to my ears on this repetitive, saccharine, almost AI'd journey. I can't decide if Truth or this one made me plead in agony, "Katy Perry please stop." 1.5/5 WONDER: This one sounds like a classic Stargate song, there's a euphoric euro-pop quality to it. This is the least offensive out of everything I've heard and it would have probably smashed in 2013. Acoustic guitars on the chorus, synth driven, thumping beat, it's a nice listen and a cute song for her daughter. But nonetheless extremely dated and nothing new from the queen of cheesy empowerment songs. 2/5 Be heavy on your wings Stay pure, beautiful girl, woah Don't let the fear in the world Burn out what you believe Cause one day when we're older Will we still look up and wonder? Overall, an incredibly generic and dated offering with the most surface level lyrics you could ever dream of. Each song sounds like a copy-paste of one another with minimal variations, sometimes she tries to serve "c*nt" on songs like Artificial and falls flat on her face. Though I think her fans will enjoy and hype mid tracks like Crush and Nirvana (the latter being my 'favourite'), there's zero artistic growth being displayed on here. She is phoning it in and pandering to gays on demos that were probably leftover in Ava Max and Kim Petras folders, in a desperate attempt to revive her and Dr Luke's career. I genuinely think there are much better cuts on Whiteness and Smile, while 143 is exactly the musical junkyard that we were promised with Woman's World. 1 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
