Amazon.com essential recording
"We wanted a tough album," producer Quincy Jones recalls in a bonus interview on this special edition of Bad. Though the 1987 blockbuster would appear to be Michael Jackson's most personal statement to date--9 of its 11 cuts were written solely by him--its appeal also rested more on craft than the idiosyncratic art of Thriller and Off the Wall. At the same time, most of Bad has aged well in spite of its digital brittleness and MIDI treatments of gems like Jimmy Smith's organ solo on the title track. While the third best of his first three Epic solo discs, Bad carries a lot of what people love about Jackson's music. This disc also benefits from two fine outtakes, the exciting, uptempo "Streetwalker" and the Carpenters homage "Fly Away." Either could easily have extended the record's run of hit singles. --Rickey Wright

I purchased this item on 10/25/08 and now it is 11/25/08 and I still haven't received my merchandise. I will never purchase used items again.

Michael Jackson at his best:)
Michael Jackson came out with The Bad album and also The Bad Tour he is an amazing performer. And these songs are as good as thriller. Just good friends a duet with Stevie Wonder nice combination:). Dirty Diana is another favorite of mine so rock and r and b I love it! the way you make me feel my favorite as well it is romantic as he persues a girl in the video and doesn't take no for an answer :) that's Michael for you lol:). I would buy this album even if you are not a fan of MJ you become one after this album:).

M.J. at his best
i LOVE all of these songs and this is a great reminder of my childhood and i can't stop listening to the fun, energized bonus tracks. the background information between bonus tracks is not something i necessarily would want to listen to over and over, but it might be informative for some. Terrific album.
