The BestMy favourite Jackson album and in my opinion the first REAL Michael Jackson record. It's him, it's his music, his attitude. On a par with the mighty Thriller but so much more varied, expressive and personal. The melodies and hooks, often simple, are backed by such intricately layered arrangements, and best of all, there's a bit of everything on it, from pop ballads to funk to flat-out rock, and every one is a classic.
Bad is good!My eight year old son wanted this album but the whole house is strutting their funky stuff! I'd forgotten how good he was and my four young sons are newly discovering him. Fantastic!!!
Michael Jackson - what at STAR. Superb Record.The intelligence, wit, talent displayed via this album is incredible. Jackson's voice is probably the most versatile, moving, emotional and strong of any male singer of the 20th century. You have to own this record if you are serious about good music.
100% Pure Talent at it's best!This album, was on release at the heyday of my role-models career. Nothing, seemed to be able to stop him. Thriller was the biggest-selling record of all time. Jackson, had won 8 Grammy Awards for the album. Fame seemed to smile on him, and he was at the top of the world (literally).
However, knowing Michael's perfectionist attitude, he wanted to do something different, something better than Thriller. Unfortunately he did not reach his goal, but made millions from a sell-out tour, and what we have hear is a well-packaged record, with very up tempo and rhythmic beats.
As soon as you hear the opening song, "BAD" you just want to rock the dance floor, with it's bad boy in- your -face attitude. MJ was not only a musician, but an actor. He could express different people through his music, and provided a voice for them. A humanitarian, he sings of gangs, suffering, poverty, fame, prostitutes and exposure. There is so much power and cool to the music. This may not be the biggest-selling-record of all time, but it sure is a must have and couldn't have been done to as high a quality, if it hadn't been Michael Jackson: KING OF POP!
Legend"Bad" helps us realise what a special and amazingly talented music artist Michael Jackson really was. It captures Michael Jackson at his prime - his unique magic shines through every song and every lyric. Classics such as "The Way You Make Me Feel" are records that will stand the test of time, we are still listening to his music decades after it was first produced. His passing has left a massive and raw gap in the music industry that can never be filled, Michael Jackson cannot be replaced. We will forever remember Michael Jackson, this album proves what a legend he really was. We were lucky to have him.
