Off The Wall [Remaster] by Michael Jackson

Pros: This album captures the precise moment when Michael Jackson realized just how good he was.
Cons: It was all downhill from there.

Foreword: This is my entry into sparkf an77's write-off, where the goal was to write about the album that most influenced your life. This, quite simply, is not only the album that jump-started my addiction to music but ...

Pros: His vocals are unparalleled, amazing ballads, great disco infused dancefloor fillers.
Cons: There are a few songs that aren't immediate.

As most music writers here on Epinions as well as on many other websites I knew it was only a matter of time before I touched on the death of Michael Jackson. There isn’t a single person alive in the world who hasn’t heard of his untimely ...

Pros: Some innovative dance tracks that make disco cool.
Cons: Overrated. Lots of album filler.

I'm not a Michael Jackson fan. This, however, does not mean that I don't enjoy a couple of his songs from time to time; rather, this means that I don't really follow his career or really need anything aside from maybe a good greatest hits compilation. I ...

Pros: Good up tempo jams and some sleepers.
Cons: Laughable lyrics on certain songs.

I wrote this review about 9 months ago, but at Christmas time, my sis bought me the remastered version of this classic MJ album. The album has bonus material which I will add to my review at the end.

Here's what I wrote 9 months ago....

Pros: Great music, the bonus features provide a nice history on some of the tracks
Cons: I wish they kept the original album cover on the CD

I’ve been a Michael Jackson fan for as long as I can remember and I've finally sat down an decided to talk about Michael Jackson's debut solo album Off the Wall. This summer, I was able to purchase the Remaster CD at Wal-Mart and it's ...

Pros: It's Michael Jackson at his finest
Cons: Um, I didn't actually listen to this album (read the review anyway)

Pros: ------
Cons: --------

I want you to do me a favor (this is for the folks who have either the record or CD, if you don’t, skip this paragraph and go on to the next declarative question.) O.K, if you have it put it on your CD or record player, listen to the music and take a ...

Pros: Side one: a get-down session extraordinaire
Cons: Side two: a bunch of seriously lame covers and yawn-worthy lovey-doves

So here I am, writing a Michael Jackson review when I should be typing up a recap of the Dallas M&G. Sometimes, you just gotta go where your heart dictates, and mine is telling me to get my opinion of "Off The Wall" off my chest. I won't sermonize on ...

Pros: One of the greatest albums ever made.
Cons: Not THE greatest... at least not today.

Words really can't describe the roller coaster of emotions that I felt when Michael Jackson died. It was a mixture of shock and disbelief, followed by sadness. Although my body of work in terms of music has always revolved around the hip hop genre, no ...

Pros: Great combination of music
Cons: Michael Jackson's personality causes people to avoid his works.

From the time I was young and heard the Jackson 5 for the first time, I have always been a fan of Michael Jackson's. I purchased most of the Jackson 5 singles and wore them out totally blaring the stereo at full throttle.

Also, since...

Pros: Michael at his sweet, slick and sensual best.
Cons: Listeners should expect involuntary bum shuffles, brow wiping and finger snapping.

I am writing to warn any unsuspecting readers of the dangers of an album like Michael Jackson’s debut album ‘Off The Wall’. From Michael’s first yelp just before the insane percussive groove of ‘Don’t Stop ‘Til ...

Pros: A great party album, at this time Michael was actually a happy guy
Cons: None

Off The Wall was Michael Jackson's first solo album as an adult, and also his first solo album on the Epic record label, as well as his first musical collaboration with producing legend Quincy Jones. Not coincidentally, it is arguably his best album to...

Pros: Awesome 70's sound
Cons: Some tracks slow this album down

Off the Wall is easily one of the greatest albums of all time. It showed us just how powerful of an album Michael could produce and prepared us for his blockbuster career.



Don't stop 'til you get enough-Not only the first song, but...

Pros: Very upbeat, dancy pop from when he was still black.
Cons: It's 70's pop, so is very corny in parts

In 1979, when he was still with the Jacksons, Michael Jackson released his first adult solo album, Off The Wall. It is perhaps his most vibrant, energetic work, as in those days he didn't have the hounding media and other angers to waste time...

Pros: Legendary disco infused songs.
Cons: A record as a whole with talking, demos and commentator, has to lower the grade.

[rating: 4.5 stars] kinda annoying when the disc is in random and it hits a spoken word track, or a demo. But this is AS GOOD AS IT GETS! Background Before I listened to pop music on radio (10 years old?), I already knew Michael ...
