Customer comments on this selection.
 Far from bad, but not a thriller, either
Five years later he was back with one of the most sonically spotless albums of the decade. That's not a detriment, but "Bad" does sound a lot more mechanical than "Thriller," to some degree because it's so darn consistent. And yeah, consistency is good, especially when you're consistently excellent, but "Thriller" wasn't the best-selling album ever because of consistency. "Thriller" had a spookfest, the most paranoid song in pop history, and a rock anthem. "Bad" has a very macho title track, but it never pushes any limits, playing it safe with songs where the message shaves off a lot of the danceability--which is a huge part of the attraction, since this is a pop record if ever there was one. That isn't to say there isn't some really good stuff here: his duet with Stevie Wonder is terrific, even if it's nothing new and looks remarkably tame in comparison to something like "Billie Jean." "Another Part of Me" sounds solid, and it's got a stellar groove; "Man in the Mirror" is gentle and straightforward, and all the more powerful for it. And yeah, "Smooth Criminal" is pretty smooth, and "Liberian Girl" is a small gem, but the only song that's aggressively bound-pushing enough to live up to Michael's reputation is "Dirty Diana," which is pretty rough and tough. It definitely isn't bad, it has some thrilling moments, but there's no way it's a "Thriller."
 I don't have a product to review
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.
Good
The more I listen to this album the more I love it. "Liberian Girl" must be one of the most under appreciated songs of the century. There's so much emotion on it. He wrote it in 1983 but it didn't appear until this album.
Most of these songs are up tempo. The best are Smooth Criminal, Just Good Friends, and Another Part of Me.
