I doubt if Katy's main objective with this release is to stimulate our cerebral muscles but she might want to stimulate you in other ways. She's very naughty here (a shout out to new hubby Russell Brand perhaps?), veering into territory more frequently inhabited by the likes of Ke$ha, Britney, Rihanna and Shakira with such trashy anthems as "Teenage Dream", "Peacock" (hey, Toni Basil!), and another of my particular favorites "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" in which the narrator drinks too much, breaks some laws, has a three-way and indulges in other hedonistic activities. I make no apologies- this song makes me feel young again.
Other highlights include the divine bubblegum dance pop hit "California Gurls" in which Snoop Dogg's little bits are a welcome addition. "Firework" really surprised me. I first heard it on the radio and thought it sounded like Katy but at the same time there was something different about it. Probably my favorite song on a very consistent album, the music is all joyous strings with Katy belting out this beautiful anthem of empowerment like it's the last song she'll ever sing. I love the way she goes right from the sublime to the ridiculous in the following "Peacock", a funky and hilarious ode to a man's `architecture' and back again to the heartache of "Circle The Drain", a song about drug addiction. I can't help but wonder how much of this CD's material is based on reality and how much is fiction which adds to its allure for me. "Hummingbird Heartbeat" is my final favorite, a kind of sister song to "Teenage Dream". This record is fun, humorous and at times even touching. It even smells good! Like the sweets adorning our Ms. Perry in the album artwork, this is a pure confection of guilty pleasure.

I wasn't really sure how to rate this album because it really feels like two different albums in one. Half of the tracks I can't stand, and the other half I love and play on repeat. Here's my breakdown:
1. "Teenage Dream" - 7/10
It's a hit for a reason - it's very catchy but misses the mark with me for value.
2. "Last Friday Night" - 7/10
For a long time, I wasn't fond of the message in this one, so it put me off, but the fun tone of it is kind of infectious! It's a good song to listen to when you want to forget your problems and just have a good time. If I have to be honest, it sounds like Katy singing about what Ke$ha lives every day. ;)
3. "California Gurls" - 7/10
Catchy but no real value to me.
4. "Firework" - 10/10
Great song. This is probably what made me buy the album! Not only is this tune unforgettable in sound, but the lyrics are inspirational, about realizing there is something amazing in you even when you are down for the count.
5. "Peacock" - 1/10
SKIP - about a man's manhood.... ugh. I listened to this CD for the first time in my car while driving to work, and I couldn't mash the buttons on my dash fast enough to skip this. I tried giving it a few tries at home, but these lyrics are just disappointing.
6. "Circle the Drain" - 10/10
Here was another of my favorites. This one, while being catchy like most of Perry's album, deals with drug addiction, but from the point of view of a partner who doesn't want to see her S.O. go down deeper and deeper. This message is a tough sell - "I'm leaving because I don't want to deal with your addiction" - when most people want to hear a message of help and support, but this is a song about looking out for your own best interests, more like "Who am I living for?" (#9).
7. "The One That Got Away" - 10/10
Very touching song. Most of us, I think, have been there, and it's hard not to like this one.
8. "E.T." - 10/10
This track is so cleverly written and composed, it's hard not to take to it. The metaphor is unique (
kind of reminds me of Britney Spears' "Toxic" though) and this album version doesn't feel nearly as cheap and campy as the remix with the ridiculous rap lyrics.
9. "Who Am I Living For?" - 10/10
"I can see the writing on the wall/I can't ignore this war/At the end of it all/Who am I living for?" This song can be taken a lot of ways - I see it as an antiwar song from the point of view of a soldier, but I also interpret it as the anthem for anyone fighting for what they believe in but being faced with other people's overbearing views. To me, it says, "You want me to do it your way, but this is my life, and I have to do what I believe in." I group this with "Firework" and "Circle the Drain" for sure.
10. "Pearl" - 10/10
A great song with a strong message. If you know a woman who was fierce and strong before her current relationship, but her current partner dims her or subjects her, then this song will make you tear up. I *love* this song!
11. "Hummingbird Heartbeat" - 5/10
I'm no prude, but I found this song embarrassing. It sounds catchy, but listen to the lyrics and just think about it. I didn't like the metaphor, and I could hardly listen to it. I would group this with "Peacock."
12. "Not Like the Movies" - 9/10
A good song about not settling and holding out for "the one" and not simply "the one who wants you."
13. "California Gurls" Remix
I didn't care for the original, so no real comment about this one.
14. "Teenage Dream" Remix
See #13.
So, overall, it was hard to rate this album given that it's half juvenile, snickering, "I-made-a-sex-reference" tracks or superficial, meaningless lyrics, while the other half has strong messages I treasured. I think most of Perry's fans will be buying this for the radio hits that didn't resonate with me, but don't ignore the quite a few gems in here: "Firework," "Circle the Drain," "The One That Got Away," "E.T.," "Pearl," "Not Like the Movies," and "Who Am I Living For?"
Hope this review helps.

Katy puts out a fun upbeat pop album. But unless you want to explain to your kids or young teens about wanting to see a guys "peacock" and threesomes, I'd leave it out of your kids library.
