Teenage Dream is a bad, occasionally catchy album. The highs are high and, oh boy, are the lows low. The album features the following: a top-25-of-all-time pop love song ("Teenage Dream"), an overrated, cloying self-empowerment anthem ("Firework"), and a clumsy, futuristic ode to an alien-like (or just alien?) lover ("E.T."). The most frustrating thing about this album, and Katy Perry's whole deal perhaps, is that she can sing! She is charming! She is fun to watch and listen to! But with limited exceptions (I'll even add "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" as a bop worth listening to), these songs are a waste of her time (and ours).
