Bad - Michael Jackson

The Bad album was released after the Thriller album which at its time was accepted as one of the greatest albums of all time and the music world thought that MJ would never be able to better it. Now I don't own the Thriller album but I do own the Bad album and well if Thriller is meant to be better than this album then I can see me buying it as this album like his dangerous album is absolutely amazing. The main reason that I bought this album is that I am a huge MJ fan and I had the HIStory double album but I lost the first CD so I decided instead of buying the same album I would buy all his previous albums so I had all of his CD's and so far I own ...  Read the complete review

So how do you top 'Thriller', the most successful album of all time? Perhaps if this thought hadn't plagued Michael Jackson, we would have seen him take some of the artistic expansions that occur in his next album 'Dangerous' rather that him trying to stick to the format of Thriller. Not to say that it didn't do ridiculously well anyway as it's sold over 30 million copies and counting since it's release in 1987. 'Bad' is too accompanied by it's own string of records e.g. the first album to have 5 U.S. #1 singles and the 'Bad' tour is widely considered to be one of the most successful tours of all-time, perhaps due to the sheer scale of the venture. As for the ...  Read the complete review

Lately (for obvious reasons), I have been digging out my old Michael Jackson abums that I haven't listened to in years - to see if they still sound as good. This one - BAD - definatley still sounds current and is full of great tracks. Bad was releaed in 1987, and was the first ever album I bought on an old tape with my pocket money. At the time, Michael was a huge star as it was before his image was wrecked with all the child abuse allegations. Also, it was before he started messing wth his face too much. Michael wrote nine of the abum tracks which does prove what a great songwriter he actually was. The tracklist is as ...  Read the complete review

"Bad" was the late, great Michael Jackson's seventh solo effort and saw him returning (a lengthy five-year gap) with an all-new complexion and a series of hits to continue his legacy has he attempted to support the strength of his classic "Thriller" release wit this 1987 effort, in which he was seen to bring out more classic Pop material, which took on even more elements of his past in R&B to turn more towards this after a pure Pop effort before. 1. "Bad" The album begins with the titular track from the album and it is seen to get him making massive changes as he comes through with a completely newly-revamped ...  Read the complete review

Perhaps the most commercially famous of the King of Pop's albums, Bad was used as the soundtrack to Jacko's film Moonwalker as well as being an immense success in the charts of its own merits. My dad had this in the car on tape when I was a kid, and at one point I knew every song and the album's sequencing off by heart. The album still holds a special place for me, and the songs are all instantly recognisable for me, too. There is a good mix of tracks, here, with some being hits and others just as good but more like hidden gems than tracks that have made it onto the commercial scene. The album kicks off with Bad, the title track, one of Jacko's most ...  Read the complete review
