About the music:
Katy Perry makes contemporary pop, no more and no less. At length album she gets the ME out better than their fellow Rihanna and Lady Gaga. On Songwrititing it is next to famous Hitschreibern also involved. Compared to the previous album rockier One Of The Boys Teenage Dream is created electronically. Most likely to have been created it on the PC. On the last page, the album leaves for my taste for something.
My favorites are the electro / rock Stampfer ET and the melancholic wistful The One That Got Away.
For optic / packaging / output:
The album contains 12 tracks. On the vinyl double-LP in each case 3 songs on each side.
The shell is a gatefold cover on the inside of which there are two pictures of Katy are.
The front is decorated with the famous album cover. The album title is only printed on a sticker on the protective film, which can be removed well.
The black vinyl is housed in two smooth inner Cases with bilateral hole for the label. The sleeves are white / red striped like lollipops or this big lollipop.
For this is still at a two-sided sheet with the lyrics and production information. A bit annoying is the integrated into the front cover Parental Advisory Note. Otherwise correct the appearance but.
The vinyl pressing is not so special. It is to hear a grinding noise between songs. Some crackles were heard, especially page 4.
It should be pointed out that it -as in other reviews behauptet- also versions with white vinyl and sweet smell but it should give no lyric sheet.
My issue:
Capitol EU pressure, gatefold cover, black vinyl, lyric sheet, Code: 84601 509 996 12
Conclusion:
Overall a good contemporary pop album. I have this LP bought mainly because she was here to acquire new on Amazon for under 9 euros (June 2014) and the album contains so many hits. Visually, the whole is very well done. The pressure could be better. For 1 star deduction in the evaluation.
