Hmm, separating art from artist, this record is decent. The first half of the album is loaded with lots of the classic disco hits, and it's hard not to bop to them. The album kind of loses momentum for me after the first five tracks or so. By the end, I was kind of wishing that I was listening to one of the later artists clearly inspired by this album (say, Thundercat or Louis Cole, both of which I played immediately after), but it was pretty cool hearing this in comparison.
It’s hard to discuss Michael Jackson without his allegations, so I’ll try anyway! I don’t know if I can agree with this being better than Thriller- the slow songs wear it down for me- but at its prime, this is some of the best disco you’ll find. Incredibly tight musicianship and he sure knew how to use his voice. B+
