Listening statistics & highlights
Walk On By and second track are great, especially the former. One Woman is kind of forgettable to me. By the Time I Get to Phoenix could truthfully lose the first nine-ish minute opening... but the ending is glorious.
Buoyant, fun. Crisp and sharp production. Lots of MJ songs I remember but couldn’t place – was listening to Bowie Just Dance before and I could see how they are from the same decade. Speed Demon is fun and kitschy. Obviously lots of iconic tracks – Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel, Man in the Mirror, Smooth Criminal – but some (especially tracks 4-6) more or less start to blur together to me - sonically and content-wise. I like Dirty Diana. I can’t see myself coming back to this album too frequently but glad to give it a go.
At first, I thought maybe too British. By the end I realized too British. I don’t like how he sings or what he says. Enough about breasts. Music is good - lyrics and vocals aside. But this one not my cup of tea.
