FentyGa 14,340 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 i recently relistened to katy’s whole discography (i’m doing this with several MPGs, rating each song out of 10 and finding my % for each album but that’s another thread for another time), and i realised that Prism had potential. the first 8 tracks are a mismatched greatest hits compilation of half decent pop songs. then, the rest of the album is a cohesive and personal story of love, both self-love and romantic love. it just feels like she wasn’t committed or confident enough in her own work to go completely personal with the album, and included the first 8 tracks to keep her young audience and her radio success. and maybe she was right? she finally did commit to a more mature and ‘woke’ concept with witness, and she lost her audience. maybe prism wouldve tanked the same. or maybe it was soon enough in her career that she could’ve matured with her audience? obv ray of light is the standard for MPG ‘spiritual’ albums, hence the comparison thoughts?

Ricardo 7,630 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Isn't a fact that, Walking on Air is Katy's best song? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 20,356 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 It's Katy's best album but it just can't be compared to Ray Of Light... Ray Of Light is on its own league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mother of Puppies 34,137 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 It's my favorite Katy album (next to TD) Call me LADY MOP & I'll mop the floor with you 🧹 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cssomeone 1,432 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I was listening to Legendary Lovers and Walking on Air earlier today The thing I love the most about Ray of Light is how balanced it is, an experimental pop perfection with great production. Prism has some highlights but it's quite forgettable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennywise 34,369 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I thought the rest of the title was going to say "minus the ray OR the light" YOUR GOD IS NOT HERE MICHAEL NOR WILL HE EVER BE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M i K E Y 5,474 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 This era was her peak ngl. The tour alone I also re-listened to Prism the other day. I still love this album but realized that it has some fillers like Ghost, This Moment, Love me. Not meaning those songs are bad but you can clearly hear that the singles are the highlight on this album Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyaway 15,350 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 No Witness is Katy's Ray Of Light, but better. And she wrote it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahfan 23,470 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 While I enjoyed Prism, the comparison makes absolutely no sense. By all means, this was a safe album for Katy, on par with her previous work - Ray of Light was a complete reinvention and a game changer. I don’t mean no disrespect, but what did Prism influence and who even remembers it today outside of obsessed delusional stans? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dojo 19,360 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 It was her Ray of light minus the light or the enlightment lmao Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two are rather forgettable i agree. 😅 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
