BAD is the album that gets picked on the most for being ''dated''
Yet, Bad constantly charts even today. So much about the whole "dated" talk.

if there was a poll taken of every single fan of Michael Jackson from 1969-present, Thriller and Off The Wall are always as a whole, be chosen as his top 2 albums, it will always be the case
Maybe, but just because in that period MJ had much more fans. If there was a poll taken of every single fan of Michael Jackson from 1987-present it would most definitely not be the case.
Also this thread is about production, not the best album in general. Two completely different topics in my opinion.
I think you are probably correct.and this is why I specifically said throughout the entire experience, from the very beginning to the end, from 1969-present, that would be the case, and for the very reason you mentioned, he had much more fans then
even regarding production, the result would be the same
even regarding what his best video is, the result would be the same, the Thriller video will always rank at the top, and 50 years from now, people around the globe will still be recreating the choreography for that video during Halloween
I think you are probably correct.
Thanks for having my back. When I rave on Thriller, I always fear pitchforks and torches.Even though I disagree with him, I won't disagree with you, because you're my only friend here.

I made this post over 8 years ago, And lemme tell you, my thoughts have changed.Bad sounds like it's time, which doesn't mean much. Today's music sounds like it's time as well. Music doesn't date; melodies, grooves, hooks and verses, they're immortal. Technology, like the synclavier, do become obsolete, but it's a unique sound just the same. Bad sounds crisper than most 80s albums.
I think Invincible sounds the most well produced. The Darkchild tracks are iffy, some say they sound like Brandy's Full Moon, but it's really the other way around. "Unbreakable" is very crisp. Everything sounds like it came from this century. After it, I'd say HIStory is next up. Really, it'd be the winner, but "This Time Around" and "Tabloid Junkie" are 90s wayward. Still love them though. And Dangerous, who can forget it? The Teddy Riley tracks are like James Brown and Sly and the Family Stone dabbled with Hip-Hop and some general rock elements. Very unique, but not timeless. They're prettyyyyy close though.
Hallelujah! Can you imagine how boring it would be if your ideas never progressed or changed or developed in any way? That would just be weird.I made this post over 8 years ago, And lemme tell you, my thoughts have changed.
I'm generally quite lukewarm about Liberian Girl but I agree with this statement. I've listened to it a few times recently just for the Paulinho da Costa percussion. I think if I was a music teacher I'd be playing this song to my students just to teach them about percussion and also the engineering. It's all there.Bad has never sounded more contemporary tbh. All of the 80s touches now sound even more catchy, thanks to big tunes like Blinding Lights by the Weeknd. The smaller tunes though, they're incredible. IJCSLY and Liberian Girl, they are incandescent. The latter is in the running for MJ's most immaculately engineered track ever. And that's thanks to his voice as well, but the instrumental as well. And those touches are present throughout the record.
Welcome to my world, lol. I've been on the board for about a year now and it sometimes feels like I'm doing a school project. A science project, lol. And I've finally realised I'm not gonna be coming up with any conclusions. My mind changes all the time about every aspect of Michael as an artist. I think I'm supposed to do what I always have done which is allow my thoughts to flow like a river, changing course every now and then but just flowing on and on.I'm starting to realize I can't make up my mind. But I'm gonna nap and see if I can come back later and figure it out with input.
