Author's Review
Since the release of Michael Jackson's legendary Thriller album in 1982, the king of pop has had unfair expectations prior to the release of every one of his albums. So far, Dangerous is the closest he has gotten to them.
Sure, Bad was a good one, which great singles like Bad, Man in the Mirror, Smooth Criminal and The Way You Make Me Feel, but overall, Jackson outdid Bad with this 1991 smash album.
The variety of music Jackson sings is a credit to his talent. There's the soft and sweet Heal the World, delivering his always-important message of thinking of the children. He goes to opposite ends of the spectrum, asking his good friend Slash to collaborate on two of his singles, the hard rock jam Give In To Me and the chart-topping single Black or White, which spent seven weeks at No. 1 and was accompanied by a ground-breaking music video. Imagine that, Michael Jackson making a ground-breaking music video.
Michael wasn't done, though. The sweet R&B jam Remember the Time is also found here, as is the hip hop tune Jam. Again, both came with great music videos with cameos by a couple of guys named Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan.
Other singles include Will You Be There and Who Is It. All in all, it was another classic album by the king of pop. But who expects anything less?
