Off the Wall
“Off the Wall is the sound of young Michael Jackson's liberation. 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 baggage. For 41 minutes, we can live in the eternally young Neverland Michael longed for, a universe largely without consequence or death.”
The Essential Michael Jackson
“2xCD career-spanning reminder of why he was once the King of Pop.”
Dangerous
“At the time of Dangerous, Michael Jackson's universal popularity was on par with pizza and the polio vaccine. It was the last time that Michael Jackson was Michael Jackson.”
Thriller
“Timeless and iconic. One of the best pop albums and albums in general of all time. MJ at his best with incredible vocals and groovy, funky production creating an absolute masterpiece. Top songs are ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ ‘Thriller’ ‘Beat It’ ‘Billie Jean’ ‘P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)’”
Thriller
“Perfect record, timeless as hell, nearly infinite replay value. Only song that slightly holds it back (as a huge MJ fan) is The Girl is Mine, should’ve been more like the demo. I still love the song though and this doesn’t change that it’s a 10. Favs: all”
Thriller
“ALMOST a no skip album - beat it, thriller, pyt, billie jean, wanna be startin something, AND THE LIST GOES ON -.5 because i’m not the biggest fan of human nature”
