The same cannot be said of Bad, since many people my age had moved on from Michael Jackson by the time that it was released, but the songs are still golden. I always say, only half jokingly, that I was 11 years old in 1983 when Thriller was at the peak of its popularity, and that anybody my age who says that they disliked that album at the time is a liar. That brings back some serious memories from my sophomore year of high school when the album was released. While I don't believe that Bad holds a candle to the two previous albums, I still think that it is a strong collection of tracks, with "Dirty Diana" being my fav. The album, Alpocalypse, is his first full-length record of new material since 2006s Straight Outta Lynwood.It comes out Tuesday and includes not only 'Perform This Way' but also a polka medley. I found these three vinyl reissues at a used music store in their standard black vinyl editions, and jumped at the chance to grab them, since most chain stores these days just sell the picture disc editions that I don't find appealing. Though he would become even more successful in the 80s, Off the Wall remains unabashedly fun to return to for its joy and lack of.
I've got Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad on vinyl, and am listening to Bad right now. Off the Wall is the sound of young Michael Jacksons liberation. Nice LP length at 44:45:Ģ The Way You Make Me Feel (full-length remix from updated edition) 04:58Ĩ I Just Can't Stop Loving You (7" mix) 04:14ĩ Dirty Diana (original album version) 04:52 Along with the CD-only bonus track "Leave Me Alone," that's three sturdy cuts that could have easily replaced the underwhelming "Speed Demon," "Liberian Girl" and "Just Good Friends" (tracks 3 through 5, which is kind of a long drag).Īnyway, I sequenced it like this with my preferred mixes. Some terrible new remixes too, but that aside, what's kind of nice is discovering "Don't Be Messin' Around" and "I'm So Blue." They may be 'demos' but they sound close to finished and as-is they're very engaging tracks. MichaelJacksonBadalbumcover.jpg (464 × 476 piksel, fayl hcmi: 26 KB, MIME. (Listening and comparing the bonus tracks that were already on the 2001 reissue, they're even brighter on Bad 25.) Fayl:Michael Jackson Bad album cover.jpg. HORRIBLE mastering by the way, with a hell of a lot of compression and pretty harsh EQ. Even so, Dangerous captures Jackson at a near-peak, delivering an album. I haven't heard this in god knows how long, but I came across the Bad 25 reissue. No, its not perfect - it has a terrible cover, a couple of slow spots, and suffers from CD-era ailments of the early 90s, such as its overly long running time and its deadening Q Sound production, which sounds like somebody forgot to take the Surround Sound button off.
