Bad [Remaster] by Michael Jackson

Pros: Oh, come on..it's Michael Jackson!!
Cons: Not as good as 'Off The Wall" or "Thriller"

How do you follow up the biggest selling album in history? It’s a question that has not had to be an ...

Pros: it's bad, it's bad, really really bad.
Cons: you know it's bad, it's bad, shamoan!

Back in the day when audio cassettes were the preferred method of cool, no fifth grade lad was quite as funky fresh as yours truly. The reason? Simple, I bought Bad with my my allowance money and within days knew all the words to all the songs....

Pros: Great second tier songs like Another Part of Me and Liberian Girl
Cons: Bad had to follow Thriller

I wrote this review wayyyyyy back in the day. However, I recently bought the new remastered addition and have some comments to add. Oh man, my writing style has certainly changed.

Michael Jackson's Bad album was the follow up to the...

Pros: A truly amazing pop record. 'Nuff said.
Cons: "Chamo!" - WTF??!!; overuse of the synthesizer.

The Main Idea How do you top the monstrous success of an album like Thriller, arguably the best pop album of the last thirty years? You release something like Bad, of course, and that's exactly what the baby-danglin' Jackson did in ...

Pros: A very consistent set of expertly produced dance songs and sweet ballads.
Cons: There's nothing quite as mind-blowing as the best stuff on "Thriller".

Five years after the epoch-defining release of “Thriller” (which remains one of the most influential records in contemporary pop music), Michael Jackson returned to centre stage with its follow-up “Bad”, another solid collection of ...

Pros: Another classic album from Michael Jackson
Cons: None

Bad was the first album I ever owned. I remember at the time, when I was about five years old, giving it to the lady at the counter and seeing the words "MICHAEL JACKSON - BAD 29.97" come up on the screen. She smiled at me - I must have appeared...

Pros: The album moulds very well together and each song has a unique blend of music.
Cons: Stevie Wonder spoiled a good song with his annoying and whinny singing.

Michael Jackson could be described as many things, a pervert, and weirdo or whatever. When It comes to music there is none finer in the business, and it is my belief that Michael should be viewed on his music and vocal talents then his rollarcoaster of...

Pros: Extremely catchy tunes, this album is full of good music
Cons: not as much R&B as there could have been

After a nearly five year wait in between Michael Jackson's Thriller and Bad albums, Michael released his long-awaited album Bad in 1987. While this album did have its similarities to Thriller, it did tend to shy away from the R&B that was more prevalent...

Pros: A lot of great music in only one CD
Cons: For some reason Tabloids are only true when Michael Jackson is on them. This Tabloid painted image of Michael could frighten off some potential fans.

Michael has three exceptionally good albums out. "Bad"is definitely one of them. There are eleven songs on the track, one of them is "Leave Me Alone" which is a bonus track on compact disk. This is album is mostly pop music with two...

Pros: Contains a lot of good music. New Songs Are GREAT!
Cons: Cant think of any.

Following up "Thriller" and "Captain EO" in Disney theme parks, Michael Jackson needed this next album to show that he wasn't just gonna disappear. "Bad" showed up in 1987 and quickly became another really big hit. Although it didn't reach the high sales...

Pros: Better than Thriller
Cons: None that I can think of.

Michael Jackson had the unenviable task of making a follow up record to the most hyped album of album which was, of course, 'Thriller'. He had set himself the goal of coming back with something that would be better than that album. But could he do...

Pros: 7 of the songs are really cool
Cons: The remaining 4 suck

The CD jacket actually reads "chika-chika, chika-chika-chika... Hee-hee! Aaow!" Who other than Michael Jackson can be recognized by seemingly random sounds?

Although this album is thought to have a slight sophomore slump to it after...

Pros: Love IT!
Cons: Love IT!

I love this album because I always liked Michael Jackson but this one is a collection of his BEST songs!!! Michael Jackson is a king of pop and he showed it again by releasing this album. Everywhere I go I take that album with me, actually everything...

Pros: The gospel magic of Man in the Mirror & the infectious beat of Smooth Criminal
Cons: Too many synthesizers & a forgettable duet with Stevie Wonder

Surely the most successful "pop" album of all time. "Bad" spawned hit singles including 5 #1's, 7 top 10 hits and 9 Top 20 singles in total. A benchmark for pop singles and one of the most anticipated albums of all time. However the price of having so...

Pros: Amazing Sound!
Cons: Very 80's

Undoubtedly one of the best pop and dance albums of the 80's, Bad remains a classic. With songs like "Bad" and "Smooth Criminal" to make you feel like a rebel, and ballads like "I Just Can't Stop Loving You," the albums is...
