1001 Albums Summary

Meg White can't drum and the production sounds like shit, but not even in an interesting punk sort of way. It's also fucking boring.

Michael still is a great performer and talented singer, but the album itself is held back by some really questionable instrumentation/recording decisions. In particular, I don't like the way the synth bass sounds at all. Sometimes it can fit well on certain tracks (Another Part of Me almost sounds chiptune-esque and works well with it), but on others it sounds so out of place (The Way You Make Me Feel and Liberian Girl. The constant thunk of the snare on 2 and 4 also gets old quickly. It's not bad overall though and has some classics even if they sound dated today. Smooth Criminal single handedly bumps it up a star.

Meh
