Release Date:
November 30th, 1982
so many albums are influenced by this album, plus i wanted to listen to MJ's other albums, but I know I listened to this before, I wanted a refresher.
Review:
lyrically, I don't connect with it, but musically, this album is amazing. It's surprisingly short at only 9 songs so if there is a skip, it'll just make the album tighter. The album closer is a skip. and that Paul McCartney song is a dud. But the other 7 are so good. To be honest, I heard "Thriller" "Beat It" and "Billie Jean" way before I was into music. Part of me feels like it's overplayed and a bit corny, but also in it's own separate category because those three songs are so iconic in pop culture. Revisiting it now, "Beat It" is the best. And the opening track "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" should be top tier in any MJ list. I have no issues with "Baby Be Mine" because i can hear it in today's music. I really like the melody of "Human Nature." and "P.Y.T." is a bit corny, but kind of fun.
Summary:
7 of these songs are great
Favorite Songs:
Wanna Be Startin' Somethin, Beat It, Human Nature
Rating: 9/10
