Michael Jackson - Bad (1987)



My Thoughts:

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

Press Release:

Though it sold in the eight-figure range worldwide, to some ears Bad suffered in comparison to its predecessor, Thriller. While not as visionary as that record-breaker and Off the Wall, the 1987 album does find Jackson and producer Quincy Jones continuing to work their craft at a high level. As it had with Thriller, radio embraced nearly every cut. Airplay saturation helped make the likes of "The Way You Make Me Feel," "Smooth Criminal," and the title track major hits in their day; they ring with confidence and good feeling more than a decade later. The self-involvement that would make the new material on History (1995) sound so curdled had yet to overtake Jackson; even his plea to "Leave Me Alone" displayed a sure wit, particularly in its video version. While the third best of his first three Epic solo discs, Bad carries a lot of what people love about Michael Jackson's music

Tracklist:

1. "Bad" - 4:07
2. "The Way You Make Me Feel" - 4:59
3. "Speed Demon" - 4:01
4. "Liberian Girl" - 3:53
5. "Just Good Friends" (duet with Stevie Wonder) - 4:08
6. "Another Part of Me" - 3:54
7. "Man in the Mirror"- 5:19
8. "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" - 4:13
9. "Dirty Diana" - 4:41
10. "Smooth Criminal" - 4:19
11. "Leave Me Alone" - 4:40

Michael Jackson - Thriller (1982)



My Thoughts:

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

Press Release:

In the three years since Michael Jackson's first solo album, Off the Wall, sold 7 million copies and spawned four hit singles, black music has veered away from the danceable but ultraslick style that Off the Wall epitomized. From Prince to Marvin Gave, from rap to Rick James, black artists have incorporated increasingly mature and adventurous themes–culture, sex, politics–into grittier, gutsier music. So when Jackson's first solo single since 1979 turned out to be a wimpoid MOR ballad with the refrain "the doggone girl is mine," sung with a tame Paul McCartney, it looked like the train had left the station without him.

Tracklist:
1. "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" – 6:02
2. "Baby Be Mine" – 4:20
3. "The Girl Is Mine" – 3:42
4. "Thriller" – 5:57
5. "Beat It" – 4:17
6. "Billie Jean" – 4:57
7. "Human Nature" – 4:05
8. "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" – 3:58
9. "The Lady in My Life" – 4:12

Michael Jackson -Off The Wall (1979)



My Thoughts:
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

Press Release:
Michael Jackson's fourth and final new studio album for Motown came nearly two years after its predecessor, Music and Me. It was a more mature effort for the 16-year-old singer but lacked the contemporary dance style that had given Jackson and his brothers a career rebirth with "Dancing Machine" the year before. The album did spawn two minor chart singles, "We're Almost There" and "Just a Little Bit of You" (both produced by Brian Holland of the Holland-Dozier-Holland production team), and a third track, "One Day in Your Life," would chart as a reissue six years later. But though Jackson sang appealingly, the arrangements were noticeably similar to many older Motown charts, and there was little here to hint that, four years hence, on his next solo album, Off the Wall, Jackson would emerge as a major star.

Tracklist:
1. "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" – 6:05
2. "Rock with You" – 3:40
3. "Workin' Day and Night" – 5:14
4. "Get on the Floor" – 4:39
5. "Off the Wall" – 4:06
6. "Girlfriend" – 3:05
7. "She's out of My Life" – 3:38
8. "I Can't Help It" – 4:39
9. "It's the Falling in Love" – 3:48
10. "Burn This Disco Out" – 3:30

Michael Jackson - Music & Me (1973)



My Thoughts:

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

Press Release:

Music & Me was the third solo album by American singer Michael Jackson that was on the rampage on April 13, 1973 in Motown label. Since Jackson was on a world tour with his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5, promotion on this album was limited and only one song, the Stevie Wonder cover, "With a Child's Heart", was released as a single. Jackson took two years to work on a follow-up album that focused on his maturing voice which became, Forever, Michael. Now, here are the tracks of his album. With a Child’s Heart, Up Again, All The Things You Are, Happy, Too Young, Doggin’ Around, Johnny Raven, Euphoria, Morning Glow, and Music and Me. Having the album of the King of Po was a great fulfillment.

Tracklist:
1. "With a Child's Heart"
2. "Up Again"
3. "All the Things You Are"
4. "Happy"
5. "Too Young"
6. "Doggin' Around"
7. "Johnny Raven"
8. "Euphoria"
9. "Morning Glow"
10. "Music and Me"

Michael Jackson - Ben (1972)



My Thoughts:
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

Press Release:
Considered a collector's item by many, Ben is a sugar-filled pop album whose lyrics and high notes quickly get irritating for the listener. Musically, it's not one of the best albums I've ever heard, and I applaud anyone (maybe I just feel sorry for them) who is able to listen to the full album without taking a break.

Tracklist:

01-Ben.mp3 (3.8MB)
02-Greatest Show on Earth.mp3 (3.9MB)
03-People Make the World Go \'round.mp3 (4.5MB)
04-We\'ve Got a Good Thing Going.mp3 (4.3MB)
05-Everybody\'s Somebody\'s Foold.mp3 (4.1MB)
06-My Girl.mp3 (4.4MB)
07-What Goes Around Comes Around.mp3 (4.9MB)
08-in Our Small Way.mp3 (5.0MB)
09-Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-da-day.mp3 (4.6MB)

Michael Jackson - Got To Be There (1971)



My Thoughts:

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

Press Release:
Michael Jackson's first solo album, released at the peak of the Jackson Five's popularity, is a mixed bag of covers and originals. Surprisingly, the sound of this album is vastly different than that of the J5, although the brothers appear on a few tracks as background singers. This is very light, gentle fare that perfectly suits Michael's then-13-year-old voice. Unfortunately, Motown's studio backup singers are much older than Michael and the blend is, at times, an odd one. Michael's pure talent and conviction saves a few otherwise dry arrangements ("You've Got a Friend," "Wings of my Love") and simply amazes on the THREE hit singles ("Got to be There," "Rockin' Robin," and "I Wanna be Where You Are"). On four tracks, Michael interjects much too-rehearsed spoken lyrics that ruin otherwise enjoyable songs. Cheeziness aside, this is a decent album which definitely rises above "kiddie" status, despite Michael's age at the time. Check it out, it's worth it. Hopefully Motown will re-release his solo albums in two-for-one packages like they did with the J5 albums and bonus tracks!

Tracklist:

01. Ain\'t no sunshine.mp3 (9.7MB)
02. I wanna be where you are.mp3 (7.0MB)
03. Girl don\'t take you love from me.mp3 (8.9MB)
04. In our small way.mp3 (8.5MB)
05. Got to be there.mp3 (7.9MB)
06. Rockin\' Robin.mp3 (5.9MB)
07. Wings of my love.mp3 (7.9MB)
08. Maria (you were the only one).mp3 (8.6MB)
09. Love is here and now you\'re gone.mp3 (6.7MB)
10. You\'ve got a friend.mp3 (11.2MB)

Word of Advice

We don't upload any of the links in this blog because, their are too many floating around anyway, and it's a waste of time. Some do it for points, while some do it for money. Well we don't do it that way here, as long as we can share and let you know what's cracking with those albums we're happy. These guys don't get a lot of exposure, and for damn sure some of them will never graze the mainstream air wave. By the way not sure if anyone actually read this stuff, but if you made it this far, The Beat Dangler thanks you.
