Expect this to be less like "Stay," and more of a power ballad.

The 90 second clip is decent. No Teenage Dream though.

I expected a power ballad but it's more of a mid-tempo number... But I like it.

Sounds really bland from that clip to me on a first listen. But I'll have to hear it in full and more of course. I'm bummed though, I was hoping for something more along the lines of Stay.

This almost sounds like a Jesus ballad she would have made before her mainstream makeover lol. I like it better than Roar though. Legendary Loves is by far my favorite clip from the cd though and possibly even of her last two cds.

Very surprising coming from her in 2013.

I really like the sound of "Unconditionally." Sounds like the best choice for the next single.

Based on 30 second snippet, it's very meh. However, I just listened to the 90 second snippet. Kinda loving it now.

This sounds strong based on the snippet I think, especially the end. I need to hear the song in full first. I'm glad it's not some dull piano ballad like Stay, even though the reviews from the listening party already indicated that. They described it as a power ballad, so I'm guess there's some sort of climax later on in it.

Garbage. Hopefully stations just play "Walking On Air" instead.

Standard fare, I'm indifferent to it.
I can see the chorus becoming very grating after repeated plays, but the verses are okay.

That snippet-thing: The second song's tempo and the way she sang it is recalling Gaga's "Boys Boys Boys" for some reason... I still like "By The Grace Of God", they did justice with the production. Hm... is that a Mariah Carey name-drop in "This Is How We Do"? That's the only interesting thing in that song. "It Takes Two" is kinda interesting. Lol, "Legendary Lovers" is great, but the title sounds like it's some RPG fantasy game with dragons or sg. "Double Rainbow" is also noteworthy, I'm surprised that it's a downtempo song. "Unconditionally" is no "Tennage Dream" and that says a lot. Actually PRISM is not Teenage Dream.

Sounds really boring. I would have preferred "Walking On Air" or "Dark Horse" second.

I think it sounds real promising from the snippet. Can't wait to hear the full thing.

I've learned not to question her team's decisions so I have faith they know what they're doing. I do think WOA is stronger but I'll reserve judgement until I hear the full song.

We've all been focused on sales, chart positions, detriment of potential piracy on a song that none of us have heard, right? It could suck. LOL It won't. Based on the clip - it may just suck (at least for me). I was not a fan of TOTGA and it took me a LONG time to tolerate Firework. But, I'll reserve final "suck status" until I hear the whole thing AND put it in context with the rest of PRISM.

If she weren't on such a red-hot streak with CHR, I'd say this was going to be her "C'Mon," but I imagine she'll be fine.

Flop Unconditionally. I knew it was going to suck. The album is terrible. I guess with Miley and Drake both releasing good albums it was too much to ask for Katy to do the same.

I totally agree the songs we've heard so far from prism are just terrible. Walking on air is the blandest piece of trash. Unconditionally has potential but is sooo safe and the lyrics sound like a wedding song written by a 3rd grader

Nope, they are all finally "Wide Awake", and seeing Katy's music for what it really is: a cliched corporate mess, aimed at the lowest common denominator. It would be interesting to see what she could come up with, if she were granted almost complete artistic control over the next album...

Jesus why did she choose to go with such a safe production? And a ballad right after Roar? Dark Horse was performing identically to Wrecking Ball on iTunes and should have been released to allow for a similar performance. Speaking of Wrecking Ball, at least Miley could make a ballad stand out from the others. This sounds like Wide Awake minus the strong message. Just my opinion; which doesnt matter because this will smash anyways.
