Curious if you like this more
 
Bad: 5/5
- Perfect song that showcases Michael's more edgy sound and image.

TWYMMF: 3.5/5
- Not the biggest fan of the lyrics, but it has a very fun melody. I love listening to the instrumental version of this song.

Speed Demon: 4/5
- Very underrated track. I love the way Michael sings the bridge section.

Liberian Girl: 5/5
- Another classic Michael love ballad. A shame it was never performed live.

Just Good Friends: 2.5/5.
- I love the bridge section of the song, but otherwise, it is just a decent song.

Another Part of Me: 5/5
- Funk perfection.

Man In The Mirror: 5/5
- Michael's greatest song, in my opinion. Amazing vocals, lyrics, melody, live performances. Pure perfection.

I Just Can't Stop Loving You: 4.5/5
- Very underrated song that gets a bad rep due to the spoken intro.

Dirty Diana - 5/5
- Michael's best rock song. His vocals on this song show that he could have been a perfect lead singer for a rock band.

Smooth Criminal - 5/5
- Pop perfection.

Leave Me Alone - 4/5
- I don't listen to this song often but whenever I do, I love it. It has such a amazing beat.

I love this album. It's my favorite album of all time and it was the first Michael album I listened too (Bad was the very very first song I listened too from Michael and Bad is what made me a fan) So I give it a 100/90. I just love it to bits.

I still gotta agree with me. 100/90. this album brings me joy and good memories of I had while listening to the music. and it always reminds me why I became a fan in the first place almost 3 years ago now! I only have good vibes attached with this album and era in general
 
"Bad"10/10
Fantastic track & video. Michael Jackson was back from his long hiatus. Billie Jean & Beat It rolled into one. Definitely should have included some of the video adlibs and sounds from the 12" remix.

“The Way You Make Me Feel” 7/10.
Preferred this before the video was made as I never liked the predatory misogyny feel it gave me. The groove of the music though is great and what makes it. Groove would be better still with some of the added 12" remix sounds.

“Speed Demon” 7/10.
Very underrated track imo and probably because of the lame lyrics. Shame because the music production is fantastic pure 80s funk. It literally spits funk, with the second half leading into Liberian Girl being some of the best music on the album.

“Liberian Girl” 8/10.
The first track I ever heard from the album back in the summer of 1987. The most Quincy Jones track for me, with his trademark smooth luscious production he used on Thriller tracks like Human Nature & The Lady In My Life. Terrible video though.

“Just Good Friends” 3/10.
Two huge 70s & 80s super stars, so why choose such a weak song? Such a wasted opportunity. Even "Get It" on Stevie's album was better than this.

“Another Part of Me” 5/10.
Great on the Bad Tour, but less so opening side 2 the album.

“Man in the Mirror” 10/10.
A masterpiece that's even better live than on the album. Would have preferred this track to have been the last closing track on the album instead of Smooth Criminal/Leave Me Alone

“I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” 6/10.
A very standard paint by numbers love song that feels as if it was recorded for the sake of needing a token power ballad for the album.

“Dirty Diana” 7/10.
I loved this live on the Bad Tour, where it worked best, but the repeated "Nahs" he added after the word Diana every time spoils it for me. Great guitar solo though with it's goosebumps climatic aftermath. However his "Give In To Me" & "Beat It" rock songs imo worked better.

“Smooth Criminal” 10/10.
Only Michael Jackson can make epic songs like this. Should have been the title track of the album before they changed it to BAD. Should have included added lines sung in video and some of the extended remix sounds.

“Leave Me Alone” 6/10.
Liked it much better at the time. Now it feels like its just one of too many songs he has since recorded attacking the media. Saved by the great groove of the music.

The album version minus the "nakupenda pia ..." lines is exactly the same as Michael's Hayvenhurst demo - as confirmed by engineers, who have worked on the album.

Michael's influence was Quincy's style, I think Is what he's trying to say.
