Bad

Michael Jackson has truely always been a joke, when I've been around. Truthfully he's never been popular since was a toddler and now im in college. So im not a huge mega fan like some people.(actually care more for Jermaine and janet they produce really good soul music).
As for Bad, it's got great pop beats, everybody heard the songs a million times, and he's got a great message. Dirty Diana definately an intersting song. As for, the way you make me feel. I think he was truely at his peak of normalness, while making this album. How could you not like this music, it's really good.

Five years later he was back with one of the most sonically spotless albums of the decade. That's not a detriment, but "Bad" does sound a lot more mechanical than "Thriller," to some degree because it's so darn consistent. Yes, consistency is good, especially when you're consistently excellent, but "Thriller" wasn't the best-selling album ever because of consistency. "Thriller" had a spookfest, the most paranoid song in pop history, and a rock anthem. "Bad" has a very macho title track, but it never pushes any limits, playing it safe with songs where the message shaves off a lot of the danceability--which is a huge part of the attraction, since this is a pop record if ever there was one. That isn't to say there isn't some really good stuff here: his duet with Stevie Wonder is terrific, even if it's nothing new and looks remarkably tame in comparison to something like "Billie Jean." "Another Part of Me" sounds solid, and it's got a stellar groove; "Man in the Mirror" is gentle and straightforward, and all the more powerful for it. And yeah, "Smooth Criminal" is pretty smooth, and "Liberian Girl" is a small gem, but the only song that's aggressively bound-pushing enough to live up to Michael's reputation is "Dirty Diana," which is pretty rough and tough. It definitely isn't bad, it has some thrilling moments, but there's no way it's a "Thriller."
