One of the Boys

Here is my track by track review of "One of the Boys" by Katy Perry. After selling more than 5 million copies worldwide, this album has cemented Katy into the elites of pop artists. 1. One of the Boys - The title track, this dance song deals with Katy hanging out alot with guys, but really just wanting to be a girl to be in a relationship with one of the guys she likes. In short, she doesn't want to be just One of the Boys anymore. This song is extremely catchy and a great starter. Hopefully an indicator of things to come!! 4/5 2. I Kissed A Girl - We've all heard it, with mixed reactions. I don't necessarily love the message that she is conveying, but the point is that this song is addicting and will be stuck in your head for days on end...and fun to shout along to!! 3/5 3. Waking Up In Vegas - A Fun, face-paced dance track, Katy Perry recalls a trip to the infamous city of sin with her boyfriend, chronically telling the listener about all the different things they did. It is an AMAZING song all around! 4/5 4. Thinking of You - Whoaaa. Slowww Dowwwwwnnnnnnn. Katy takes a MAJOR turn from the rest of the album at this point with this ballad. It is moving and telling, and I truly love it (and am disappointed that it did not do well on the charts!!) The music video is MOVING, TOUCHING, and you NEED to see it to complete the expirience! 5/5 5. Mannequin - Another slower/tamer song, this song is still good nonethless. "I wanna hit you just to see if you cry" exemplifies the rest of the song, with electronic beats and angsty lyrics. A good song, but a skipper. 3/5 6. Ur So Gay - She released this song a while ago on the internet exclusively, and I have to the say that the lyrics are just...clever!! I wish that it wasn't censored though...because there is really no need...anyways, a funny, humorous track!! 3/5 7. Hot N Cold - Her second single, I would venture to say that this song is the single best song on the entire album. A fun dance song (like many others) and it really exemplifies what the whole album is about--just having a good time!! 5/5 8. If You Can Afford Me - Another fast-faced song, this one is pretty fun to listen to. "If you wanna ride, just name your price, don't play cheap with your heart" I like this song alot as well!! 4/5 9. Lost - Katy slows it down a bit, with the music-box like "Lost". This song is SO emotional and PERFECTLY delivered, which makes it easily the best slow song on the album. 5/5 10. Self Inflicted - Stepping up the tempo (anyone else feeling a little nauseous!!?), this song is another SOLID track. It is almost filler, but if it classified as such, it is some of the best filler on the album (which means...it really isn't filler!!!!!) 3/5 11. I'm Still Breathing - Another emotionally tinged ballad, this one is probably ranked lower than Thinking of You and Lost in my eyes (well...ears i guess). 2/5 12. Fingerprints - FILLLLERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. But still good filler. =) 2.5/5 Verdict, A strong album from Katy Perry, you NEEEEEEDDDD TO BUY IT!!!! You will not regret it!

I won't go into a review of the music as that has been covered by many others under the CD edition. Let me tell you about the absolutely fabulous vinyl edition,,, TOP QUALITY !!! This edition is one of the best thought out and just plain fun vinyl sets that I have purchased recently. First off it is a double disc set, 180 gram colored vinyl. Disc 1 is bright red and disc 2 is bright yellow. Glossy standard weight gate fold jacket with a nice photo on either side of Katy. Standard weight white paper sleeves for the discs. 12 tracks, just like it's standard CD counterpart are spread across the first disc, 6 tracks per side. The second disc contains 4 remixes of "I Kissed A Girl" on side one and 4 remixes of "Hot N Cold" on side two. At under the 20 dollar mark this is very much worth the money. I highly recommend this set! Also, the vinyl set of Katy Perry's other album, Teenage Dream, is also just as noteworthy with the same thought of fun and value. Please see my review for that one if you'd like to know more. Thanks for reading my review!

I have a rule for buying CDS: I have to like at least four of the songs to make it worth my while...I took a chance and bought this after hearing only two of the songs played on the radio, but it turns out that I like almost every song. There are a couple where she sings with a very high yet soft voice that I thought was kind of boring, but I enjoyed her vocals the rest of the time. Her style reminds me of the Go-Gos Beauty and the Beat , and Thompson Twins. (Yeah, I am an an 80s fan). The lyrics are hysterical; she's very good at telling stories, and even though you might be tempted to think she is exagerating, I could relate to a lot of the scenarios she describes. I love ALL KINDS of music - I have very eclectic tastes, but I have to say it was refreshing to hear a female vocalist who didn't create another hip-hop album or a whiny alternative album (you know, the ones where every single song is directed to some guy).

UN DISCO INCREÍBLE, LLEGÓ SIN NINGÚN ARAÑAZO, EN PERFECTO ESTADO, LAS CANCIONES SE REPRODUCEN PERFECTAMENTE I LA VERDAD, NO SE COMP TODAVÍA NO SE HA RALLADO CON LAS VECES QUE LO HE PUESTO

Ich gebe 5 von 5 Sterne für dieses, in meine Augen wohl beste Newcomer Album von 2008. Wer sich ein wenig mit der Person ''Katy Perry'' beschäftigt versteht wie schwer sie es eigentlich gehabt hat überhaupt einen Plattenvertrag zu bekommen, sie hat Meisterstücke an Songs geschrieben, sie hatte Talent doch die Plattenlabel dachten sie schafft es einfach nicht. Sie wurde von zwei Plattenlabel gekickt, bevor sie zusammen mit einer Ex-Managerin (eines anderen Plattenlabel) zu Capitol Records / EMI Records ging. Wo sie schlussendlich dieses sehr tolle Album geschrieben & aufgenommen hat! Zu den Songs: Katy Perry hat, soweit mir bekannt ist, jeden einzelnen selbst geschrieben zusammen mit Co-Writers wie Max Martin & Greg Wells. Sie schrieb diese Songs aus ihrem Leben heraus was man beispielsweise bei Lost sehr gut raushört. Es gibt keinen einzigen Song aus dem Album, der mir persönlich NICHT gefällt - ist ein muss für jeden der ein Fan von Katy Perry oder Pop & Nachdenk Musik ist. :D

El álbum llegó en buenas condiciones y es excelente

We loved it

un tres bon cd.
