At the time of its release it was the 2nd biggest selling album of all time. Second only to Micheals prior album Thriller. Everything we've come to expect from Micheal Jackson is on here.Who could forget the amazing video from "Smooth Criminal" or the fantastic ballard "Liberian Girl"? As usual there is the mixture of rock driven songs like "Dirty Diana" and ballards like "Liberian Girl" and "I just can't stop loving you".Something that was new to micheals format is the irristable gospal we have all come to know. I am obviously talking about "Man in the mirror"
Micheal Jackson is the only man who can do as many styles and get the lyrics just so right as he does.The production, the arrangements, everything right down to the backing is fantastic.
This is a must for all Micheal Jackson fans. For those who were about during the late eighties this will bring back memories. For the newer fan it is an absolute must for their collection.
