Rating: - Who's BAD? MJ is!
This is my favourite MJ album! The Special Edition Traxx are the BEST!. Check This Out:HIStory Begins:
1)BAD - Kool song with attitude, and a good beat.
2)THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL - An awesome motown-beat type song(kinda like Rod Stewarts, "Motown Records")
3)SPEED DEMON - The best racecar song in the world! The racecar sound effects make it sound awesome.
4)LIBERIAN GIRL - A good foreign type smooth/mysterious slow song.
5)JUST GOOD FRIENDS (w/ Stevie Wonder) - Your average 80's pop song.
6)ANOTHER PART OF ME - A different MJ fast song, but it is awesome.
7)MAN IN THE MIRROR - A good thinking song with a good message.
8)I JUST CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU (w/ Sideah Garret) - A nice slow duet ballad.
9)DIRTY DIANA - A nice low tempo rock/pop song. Very powerful.
10)SMOOTH CRIMINAL - The ORIGINAL version. Picture the Alien Ant Farm cover but, a little bit more sane and poppy.
11)LEAVE ME ALONE - Also has the motown like beat, pretty kool. HIStory Continues: The Bonus Traxx STREETWALKER - I Don't No why this didn't make it to the album!! This is my 4th favorite song on the album! It is a crossover between "The way you make me feel" and "Billie Jean"
I JUST CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU (Spanish Version) - This is pretty good. M's good at spanish.
FLY AWAY - Another great song that didn't make it to the album. It kinda sounds like "I just can't stop loving you". "Bad" Special Edition is AWESOME. If you love MJ's Hitz, than get this album!!
Rating: - Bad is Great!
BAD is an incredible follow up to Thriller that features MJ's songwriting talents, as 9 of the 11 songs are written by him alone. It's an incredible achievement that's filled with memorable, dancable, moving, groving songs that will stay with this listener forever. He really came into his own with this album. Thankfully, it's all preserved and remasered for our continued enjoyment. The sound presented here is really incredible. The pulsating bass on Bad really stands out as does the vocal layering on Leave Me Alone. It's amazing how much better technology is, that this kind of clarity that can be achieved with a 14 year old recording. It's also amazing how well thes songs stand the test of time. These tracks don't seem dated at all. Aside from the remastering, this special edition also features 9 new photos (plus the original 8 fish eye lens photos), interviews with Quincy Jones and 3 rare songs. A few nit picks: the isn't a track listing for the bonus material in the booklet, the spoken intro to 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You' has been excluded for some reason, some cd cover art would've been nice (all we get is a red cd with white lettering) and I was disappointed to see there wasn't a photo underneath the clear CD tray. The bonus song 'Streetwalker' was vying for the place 'Another Part of Me' took on the album. It's an ambitious song that beautifully captures a street feel with lots of horns and bass. It's very much dancable and running 5:49 it would've been the longest song on the album. It's wonderful to finally be allowed to hear it but I'm glad it was cut from the album. Not because it's bad but because Another Part of Me is so wonderful. I'd have hated to miss out on it for all this time. 'Fly Away' is a mid tempo love song. A lyrical bon-bon akin to 'I Can't Help It' from Off The Wall. It's not mentioned in teh interview sections why this song was deleted from the album, but it surely deserved a spot, just as long as it wasn't going to replace any other song already on the ablum. The spanish version of 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You' is really beautiful and it's fun to hear MJ singing in another language ( he nails those rolling the 'R'). Probably won't listen to it much, but it's nice to have anyway. Ultimately, this special edition is the only edition of BAD to own. The songs have never sounded better and you get 3 incredible bonus songs plus interviews with Quincy Jones. Aside from all that, this is one of the greatest albums from the 80's. How can you go wrong with a cd that features not one but FIVE number one hits?!?! BAD is Great!
Rating: - This is the PERFECT Michael Jackson CD
and I'm not 12, I'm 19 and I'm a big michael jackson fan.What can I say? This CD is a pure work of art. Pop perfection. This is even better than the original because the songs are slightly longer, the sound quality is wonderful, it's truly a timeless classic. And it showcases Michael true talent as a gifted singer/songwriter. I feel that all the recognition that Thriller got, it should have been given to Bad. It's hard to choose which song is the best, because they are all hit-friendly, in fact Michael had 5 #1 singles from this album(I Just Can't Stop Loving You, Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel, Man in the Mirror, Dirty Diana). I'm certain Street Walker would have been his sixth #1 single from Bad if it was on the original release. You have to buy this CD, and Invincible, no matter what, you can't sleep on Michael Jackson, he's the best! Long live the king!!!!!
