His exploits get more than attention than his music. Forget that his best friend is a chimpanzee and he lives at a place called Neverland and just listen to the music.

Review it because of the music. Anyway back to the album. Wanna Be Startin' Something- Has a great sound. A classic. 5/5 Baby Be Mine- A good song. 5/5 The Girl is Mine- another okay song. 4/5 Thriller- the best song with an even better video. The grand daddy of them all. A true MJ classic. 5/5 Beat It- Another MJ classic. The Guitar solo is awesome! 5/5 Billie Jean- The other MJ classic. Shows his true talent. Especially at Motown 25 with his first moonwalk. 5/5 Human Nature- A nice slow ballad. 5/5 P.Y.T- a catchy beat. I love it!- 5/5 Lady in my Life- A nice slow way to end the album. 5/5 The #1 selling album is also the greatest. Buy this and you won't regret it!!!! |
