Much publicity was met through when this album came out. The first being the release of the single Black or White, being the most widely watched song to be viewed by an audience at the same time. After it was released came the controversy of the last part of the video in which MJ goes berserk and simply creams a car and smash through windows before becoming this big cat. The single also stirred up some issues about colr and why was it that Michael was including this topic at a time in which he was really becoming whiter by the minute. The album is a really good listen. There are some privately honed songs, but they can also be related to others as well and not attributed to the singer or the issues going through his head. My favorite two songs in the album were rightfully put back to back on the cd release. "Who is it?" and "Give in to me". The first song was mellow and had a very haunting beat throughout that made you sink deep so low at the times when you just broke up with someone or simply brushed off by others. Give in to me has a similar beat in the background that comes apparent when the song is on the verge of ending. That song has the same feel as the first, but makes you brush off that loss by acquiring a power of your own destiny.
In general, most of the songs are really great. Jackson goes a long way in terms of production and refining the sound of the album. Though it is not Thriller, but I see that throughout each album released by MJ, his music stem through a different originality everytime.
great album from michael jackson i had it on tape but wanted the cd.would pay full price for this one of my favourites and quite hard to find quite recently
Tra i cd di Michael Jackson, che sono tutti di ottima qualità, quello che preferisco è senza dubbio "Dangerous", uscito all'inizio degli anni 90, riscuotendo grande successo. I 14 brani in esso contenuti sono tutti di ottima qualità, e seguono molti stili diversi. La canzone Give into me è un ottimo esempio di rock applicato al pop; ad essa si aggiunge la spassosa black or white e le accattivanti musiche di in the closet e who is it.
Fantastic album with all the excitement of a funfair rolled into a few tracks. High energy and masterly use of the studio with natural talent this lad will go far!!!
This cd was the only Michael Jackson cd that i didnt own so when i found it on ebay and bought it at a reasonable price, i was very pleased to win the auction, and the item was sent to me straight away.
i've been a fan of michael jackson since i remember. he is simply a king of pop. i like his music because it's very expresive, so i can take it with me when i do my workout in the gym.
I have every cd Michael Jackson has ever released (and a few unreleased ones), and this is my favourite of them all.
This album has the distinctive MJ sound, and catches the very essence of him 100%. From the fast and rocking title track to the deep meaning Will You Be There, this album has a track for everyone.
This is the first album that Michael released without having Quincy Jones as producer. Out of the 14 tracks 9 went on to become hit singles. On its release Dangerous became the fastest selling number one album of all time, entering the charts at number 1 just 3 days later. This was due to the fact that Sony decided for the first time to release the album on a Thursday instead of the traditional Monday.
Gone too Soon is another track worth mentioning from the album. Dedicated to the memory of Ryan White, the young man who died from Aids. This song still gets to me every time despite having heard it hundreds of times. A lovely song, beautifully sung.
If you're a lover of classic pop, or music that has lasting quality, this album is for you.
i love this album because of all the graet songs on it there is nothing that i dont like about it. i bought it because i lost mine moveing house and i wanted it back.
for me , dangerous is the best album of ALL time .not only did it deal with the state of the world in the early 90s and its hidden agenda..it made us think of OTHER issues too..... a funky, thought provokin' album which crossed to the masses and broke bounderies...in my opinion, jackson at his best .
