Blood On The Dance Floor - Michael Jackson

INTRODUCTION Michael's career has been a rollarcoaster one. It all started with a steep upwards slant and then seems to have gently come down over the more recent years. Indeed, I have come to expect that Michael's more modern albums would not be as good as those original classics, including "Off the wall" and "Thriller". To be fair, his more recent work has been of a very good standard but has failed to break that trend. However, there is one album that I feel stands out in its own right as a superb masterpiece. Criminally underrated and undersold, in my mind, this album represents the very best of Michael's latest ...  Read the complete review

When this album was released in 1997, I was at a loss as to why it was made, as it is essentially an album full of past songs (mainly from the HIStory album) remixed by various people, althouh there are some brand new songs on there which had not been released prior to appearing on this album.

The opening track is also the title track, and to be frank it does not bode ...  Read the complete review

After the almighty success of the 'HIStory' album, Michael Jackson tried his hand at the new dance-club craze with his remix album, 'Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix'. I'm about to tell you what the album is. It is very hard to put together an opinion of this album that most others will agree with.

One of three singles released from the album, 'Blood on the Dance Floor' is a rolling, striking song that is impossible to dislike. It is ...  Read the complete review

In an interesting twist, something that is rarely done by any artist, let alone one who can be as original as Michael Jackson, this album, Blood On The Dance Floor, consists mainly of remixed and covered versions of some of his previous tracks. The first 5 feature newer songs, ones we haven't seen before, but from there on in, we get to hear remade versions of other MJ songs, some hits, some not. First up: of the original songs, there is some impressive stuff, with the best, lyrically and emotionally, being Superfly Sister, which is written about his sister LaToya Jackson, and her abusive relationship. It's a tuneful track that brings out MJ's true passion in ...  Read the complete review
