Lots of hits. Pedophile sooo. Nah.

I don't listen to chicken Hawks

Pedophile unfortch

Hard separating the art from the artist. Undeniable pop relevance....all time tunes......its just, I dunno, I cant separate it completely, if at all.....the guy molested kids and this is the only place I can penalize that.

Had to skip due to artist being a paedo.

Ik ga niet eens luisteren, verschrikkelijk.

Can you separate the art from the artist? Even if I shove that aside, this is an uneven album. For every Billie Jean (one of the twenty best pop songs of the 80s, despite my reservations), there is a turgid mid-tempo song that goes nowhere. The production is strong (vale Quincy Jones) but dated. Under normal circumstances, Thriller would merit a mediocre 2.5 but since there is no way to separate the art from the artist, it is a 1. MJ ruined so many lives.

Over hyped elevator music

Guess I'm IGNORANT!

Too soon

Not a huge fan of pop, but I have to say "The Girl is Mine" is such a fine tune. The best in the album for my taste.

Not a fan of mj

Greit album, flere bangers. Men pedo er og blir pedo.

If you can separate the art from the artist, then Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', Beat It, Thriller and Billie Jean are all high energy, rhythmic and funky pop classics. If you cannot separate the art from the alleged child molester then reading the lyrics of Human Nature and P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) will send a chill down your back and want you to never take a child with you whilst visiting a millionaire in their exclusive ranch.

Child abusers get 1 star regardless of how good the music is

I get it was successful, but it's not for me.

I'm sorry. It's a protest vote. I've spent a lot of time thinking about if you can separate art from the monster and I think you can because it's a super convenient theory for me. But I'm not sure why I can't do it for MJ in particular. I think it's to do with the fact that living without his music is easy and mainly because it annoys me that there seems to be some debate over if he is a sex offender or not. (it's actually a four for me. Absolute bangers. hit after hit)

Someone wrote this review: "Legendary album kinda Pedo though" and rated it 5 stars. WTF? I don't know if Michael was or was not a pedo. But his music sucked in my opinion. This is just banal pop music sung by a troubled person who, whatever his sexuality, had a knack for a great hook and had a wonderful voice. It's just not for me. This sucks. I give it 1 star, but really it's no star. Next please....

Tried to judge the music and not the artist. Failed. 1 star.

Pedo: this should be removed

I refuse to listen to or review this garbage.

Shame he slept with children

Maybe he did it, maybe not. All I know is this album is garbage. 0/5

I don't listen to abusers

Some big 80s tunes but forever marred by the artists dubious lifestyle. No enjoyment in listening to this anymore

HATE Micheal Jackson

I want so little to do with this pedophile

Piosenki 5 - osoba wykonawcy, jego skłonności zero.... Powinno to być wymazane

I've never enjoyed the sound of Michael Jackson... Even before I knew he was morally questionable

Can you separate the artist and his life from the art to evaluate it? No. I listened to the album. Billie Jean is a great song. Jackson was a monster. Ours is a society that gives celebrities access to whatever they want as if they were gods. This rating is for the whole picture, not an album in isolation.

Anyone in the Epstein files gets a 1. Don’t abuse children.

Nope not listening to a pedophile

Some bangers. Some filler. Dirty child abuser

I don’t enjoy highly produced sounds. This is a perfect example of those records. I also don’t enjoy gimmicks. Another fine example of that with this album.

Tiene buenos arreglos, pero es tremendamente aburrido. Las ideas de un tema se repiten sin aparecer nuevos paisajes. Me hace pensar que estoy en una nube y que el tiempo no pasa. Vengo escuchando tres temas nomás. Sin dudas no es un disco que me gustaría tener, pero no es un espanto.

Iconic music ruined.

I meannnnnnnnn...

Ugh. This a-hole again. Two MJ albums in my first week. At least I am getting them out of the way. There are three amazing, strong songs on here: Thriller, Beat It, and Billie Jean. The Girl is Mine is dreadful and reminds me why I am not a big Paul McCartney fan. Yes, this album was huge. I was a kid when it came out, and this was everywhere. It has massive cultural importance. There is a lot of talent on it. But ultimately, this is Michael Jackson's masterpiece. How do you rate the work of a monster? Can we just ignore who the artist is? What he allegedly (but most likely) did to victimize others? There is such a massive taint on MJ that makes it impossible for me to go higher than a 1. Sorry.

Cool. Thanks

This is mid

just no out of princable

Why is there paedo shit in the list? Wasn't this guy cancelled?

Undisputed classic, docked points for being a sick perverted cunt.

Sorry, I'm not a fan, and this hasn't aged well. Even the Paul McCartney appearance couldn't save this.

Много ме дразни майкъл джексън по някаква причина

First one I almost skipped outright. Don’t understand why so many people like this. And that’s without taking the whole creepiness into account.

fuck this creep

Sorry I don't listen to Paedophilia's

Well in isolation it's a great album and has some of Michael Jackon's best songs on it, absolute bangers, but I can't give him a high score can I?

sad michael

just hate it. hate it. I find it so overrated. showing how boring pop is this time. rating it higher would be a crime. just hate it.

- Hits (Thriller, Beat It, Billi Jean) waren okay, Rest war nervig - würde ich eher nicht wieder hören, da mir seine Stimme generell eher auf den Zeiger geht

The singles are classic polished pop. The rest is all a bit cheesy, especially the Macca duet. P.Y.T. as a concept / lyric has not aged well at all. Creepier than the video for the title track.

Did not listen cause eww

80er Jahre Hits. Gähn.

Same dilemma. Some of the best songs ever but it feels icky listening to mj

No thanks

The music is good, I didn't care for the Paul McCartney Duet, bad and a little creepy, but the rest is solid. Too bad it's Michael Jackson and he will never earn anything other than a 0 for being a bad person. The album will be a 1 because I can't go any lower.

Not listening to pedo Mike.

Not really my type of music

Thriller, Beat it, and Billie Jean are iconic songs, but nothing in the album really spoke to me.

Hate everything about thriller

fucking nonce. i still don't understand why wacko jacko has a free pass at being respected and adored when he was a top nonce.

I cant separate the art from the artist when it comes to this creep so I'm not listening to any michael Jackson albums. Instead I listened to Band on the Run and Illmatic and had a much better time

Sorry, can't listen to MJ without thinking about all the kids he raped.

JAMAIIIIIIIIS J'écoute ca

1 star cause I dislike his music, do not find it genuine at all. Sure,he did work with some fine producers and there are some catchy riffs, but all in all his music is boring and silly and slick. His constant 'hihihi's en 'ooohs' are annoying. And no single person on the world believes that he was Bad and after 2 seconds you wish he would stop cause he had enough. O well, just an opinion.

can't bring myself to do it anymore

hlusta ekki á jackson

can't bring myself to listen to MJ anymore

Nope, not a chance am I listening to this again. Quincy Jone production is amazing but sorry, the legacy of Jacko taints this album. It's one pub debate I will walk away from

Fu*k Michael Jackson, He is a monster.

Alguien me dijo que escuchar a Michael Jackson traía mala suerte. Así que desde entonces no lo escucho. Si sale en la radio la apago si está en el hilo musical me voy del sitio hasta que termina la canción. Sé que su música es buena y a pesar de todo tiene sus seguidores.

Hated MJ as a kid, thought I'd give him a try now, but no change, could not even listen to the full album.

I do not voluntarily listen to MJ's music. I change the radio station in the car if he comes on, and I'm not gonna listen to this asshole here either.

I won't do it.
