Bad: Remastered

Most people aged between 20 and 70 will know at least half of this album recognising timeless classics such as The Way You Make Me Feel, Smooth Criminal & Man In the Mirror. I swear that even the tracks that Michael decided not to use would have made Top 10 singles at the time, he was quite simply that brilliant in the late 80's.

If your reading this review with a view to buying the album then yes, I'm a fan of Michael Jackson. I wasn't however at the time of buying this CD so be warned - it really is good enough to change your outlook on music !


Pure pop, pure quality and as fresh as ever.   October 24, 2001

You can say what you like about Wacko Jacko, but it would be churlish to even pretend that this guy was not hugely important in pop history. With the recent chart success of Alien Ant Farm's cover of Smooth Criminal, I would guess that quite a few of todays teens and sub-teens are going to be turning their attention to Jackson as for the first time. They won't be disappointed. The sheer quality of this album remains as startling now as it was on release - the songs, the musicians, the production, it's all there. More than that, listening today makes you realise just how much of a pioneer Jackson was in his heyday. It's fresh, it's fun, you can't help dancing and it reminds you that there was a time when pop was not interchangeable with pap.

Don't be fooled by the title of this Michael Jackson album as it is anything but bad. This album has spawned so many number one singles it would be hard not to call it a greatest hits package. Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel, Smooth Criminal, I Just Can't Stop Loving You, Man In The Mirror and Dirty Diana are on here all of which have appeared on his Number Ones and History albums. As a huge MJ fan I have listened to all of his albums repeatedly and would have to say that this is the best of the lot topping the mighty Thriller. An amazing mix of Pop, Rock, Dance, Funk and Soul blend together effortlessly to make the sound of this album. This special edition of the original album includes 3 previousley unreleased tracks (including the funky Streetwalker), a new colour booklet, and interviews with Quincy Jones on the making of the album. Every single track on here is truly excellent, the best being the anthemic Man In The Mirror, making Bad worthy of being amongst the best albums of all time. One word - masterpiece.

Bad, in my personal opinion, is the best album ever brought out by Michael Jackson. The songs are all so meaningful. Man In the Mirror is so gripping i 'just cant stop' playing it!! Speed Demon is excellent due to the viciousness of it. Leave me alone is also very good as it shows that MJ is fed up with all the stories in papers etc. that he is asking peeps to leave him alone! Smooth Criminal is excellent!, it is a classic in itself! My favorite album ever!
