Bradley 59,545 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Writing for Stereogum, Danielle Chelosky described "Bandaids" as "actually pretty good". Chelosky also suggested that Perry's breakup with Orlando Bloom "gave her emotional turmoil to deal with in music, and it works, at least way better than faux-feminist empowerment anthems made with Dr. Luke". AnnaMarie Houlis from Parade called the song a "healing-from-heartbreak anthem" and wrote "the song is garnering immediate recognition for its rhythmic resonance as a piece of allegorical art in modern-day music form". Gennaro Costanzo of Clash rated "Bandaids" eight out of 10, describing it as "a long-awaited return to form" which echoes the "pop-rock balladry" from her 2008 album One of the Boys.Costanzo suggested that "Bandaids" is the song Perry's 2017 album Witness "was trying to write", stating its "vulnerable without being preachy, personal without feeling performative". Both The Express Tribune and Variety described the track as a "comeback" for Perry after 143, with the latter highlighting the song's emotional and vulnerable themes as reflected in its accompanying video. 2 13 1 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no, I mean, even in her glory days, her albums were yellow on Metacritic despite being celebrated by the media and she hasn’t won a Grammy, ever Edited November 8 by AVeryGagaHolyDick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be meant to gauge audience's reaction to the new sound before she commits to recording a full album. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahfan 26,579 Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 Saying hunger for new Katy isn't that strong atm would be a euphemism, but at least the music is decent again. Sounds like classic Katy and I'm low-key here for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanna shintuyu 11,023 Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 I can't help but question the taste of anyone who reacts favorably to this song. She's basically screeching, the lyrics are awful, and the production is so outdated and bland. Is it wishful thinking that's making you think this is her best release in years? If that's the case, I also wonder why you're wishing for a best release from her to begin with. 7 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
