Bad

Michael Jackson wanted Bad to be even better than Thriller. But Thriller was the highest-selling record of all time, winner of 8 Grammys, the start of story-telling in music videos, and the breaker of racial barriers. How could he top it? While Bad failed to perform as well as Thriller, it contained classics such as Smooth Criminal, The Way You Make Me Feel, Man in the Mirror, Dirty Diana, and I Just Can't Stop Loving You. Who can't conjure up an image of the Bad video with the dancing gang, or the Smooth Criminal suit? Bad was an amazing album in its own right, and has become one of my absolute favourites! Bad is all 80s and full of fun. This album makes me happy; it makes me want to dance, it makes me want to have a good time. Each song just feels like a pop masterpiece. This album is varied and has a song for every mood, from the very 80s, feel-good fun of Just Good Friends (why do a lot of people dislike this song?), to the more rocky, sexy Dirty Diana, to the meaningful and emotional Man in the Mirror. If I had to choose between Thriller and Bad, I would choose Bad. Not only does this era have my favourite songs, but my favourite videos! You probably know the classics like Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel, Man in the Mirror, Smooth Criminal and Leave Me Alone. But every song on this album is brilliant - there is no filler here at all. You get two bonus tracks, plus voice-overs from Quincy Jones talking about the making of the album, and why one of the bonus tracks, Streetwalker, didn't make the cut in 1987. I think excluding Streetwalker did the fans of '87 a great disservice - it has quickly become my ultimate favourite, even topping Dirty Diana and The Way You Make Me Feel, which I love. It might be an acquired taste... it's very fun, and suits my tastes perfectly, but others might find it silly... Everyone's different. I'm glad Streetwalker was included on the new release. I have no complaints about this album at all, except for one small thing: I'm So Blue would have been better than Fly Away. But other than that, it's an A+ album. I believe this was actually MJ's most popular era, and it's easy to see why. He was in his prime here, his element - his music appeals to young, old, male, female, kids and adults. His videos are legendary, his choreography second to none. No one has topped MJ and possibly no one ever will. I'm just sad that I wasn't here to witness this era, and appreciate it, at the time. I would have been right up there at the barrier in my 80s gear, that's for sure.

È arrivato giusto nei tempi solo che non ero a casa e hanno lasciato il pacco non so come dentro il giardino, non avevano alternative. Comunque il disco è uno dei più famosi e l'ho preso anche per questo oltre a tutte le canzoni bellissime dentro. Non è rovinato ne il disco ne la copertina.

Every song is great !

Chegou direitinho, antes do prazo e em perfeito estado. Amei!

Para mí , uno de los mejores discos de Michael Jackson .Esta edición del 2018 en vinilo se oye prácticamente igual al vinilo de 1987 .No distingo acústicamente la remasterización .El cd se oye muy bien ,pero no llega al sonido cálido y ameno del vinilo .En cd viene con un bonus track ‘Leave me alone’ , que desconozco si venía en el cd original de 1987 ni en la reedición de 1991 .Cd recomendado para cualquier amante de la música de calidad , no solo para fans del Rey del Pop .
