Michael Jackson - Bad

About Bad by Michael Jackson Album

Bad is the seventh studio album by Michael Jackson, released on August 31, 1987, through Epic Records. Jackson notably adopted an edgy look and sound with Bad, departing from his signature groove-based style and high-pitched vocals. The album incorporates pop, rock, funk, R&B, dance, soul and hard rock styles. Jackson also experimented with newer recording technology, including digital synthesizers and drum machines, resulting in a sleeker and more aggressive sound. Jackson wrote nine of the eleven songs on the album. Lyrical themes on the album include media bias, paranoia, racial profiling, romance, self-improvement and world peace. The album features appearances from Siedah Garrett and Stevie Wonder. One of the most anticipated albums of its time, Bad debuted at number one on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart, selling over 2.25 million copies in its first week in the United States, and stayed atop for six consecutive weeks. It also reached number one in 24 other countries, including the United Kingdom, where it sold 350,000 copies in its first week and became the country's bestselling album of 1987. Nine songs from the album were released as official singles, and one as a promotional single.

I used to listen to Michael jackson on the radio before

- As Good As Thriller?!?

What can I say? This is a masterpiece.

- So Many Hits

This is my second favorite album after Dangerous. This album spawned so many career hits for Michael Jackson. A must for any fan. I particularly love the image shift he made from the Thriller era to Bad. Edgier with grit, a true shift for him and his music.

- Awesome!!

One of my fav MJ albums! Songs I suggest: I Just Can't Stop Loving You, Leave Me Alone, Liberian Girl, Smooth Criminal--- ALL OF THEM!! 🔥

- Good at a time

This was before he ruined his own life but iTunes also has to fix it

- I miss Michael Jackson

2009 Sucked For Me, Because Michael Jackson Died And It was really bland

- 🔥

GOAT

- MJ!!!!!!! I miss thriller.

I miss his old self singing like horror and pop rock songs. He is still a great singer though.

- I love mj so

I love mj so mush I hope he did not die

- Who’s bad

Yes Michael you are bad, the baddest at doing it all. Every song on this album is wonderful. I’ve had this album on repeat so many times without skipping any songs. Great job MJ, I love you, an may the king Rest In Peace

- King of pop

He is the best artist of all time

- Dirty Diana

I first heard Dirty Diana at a strip club. Now that I think of it, the song actually tells of how manipulative women can be, regardless if she has a boyfriend.

- Mj

I’m bad I’m bad you know it 😈😈😈👹👺 who’s bad he played on the wiz he played the scarecrow

- I love it

I love his song BAD

- I am sorry

I’m the one With a Heart

- BAD

I happen to have a lot to say about this album! It’s from 1987, and they didn’t call it old school until now. Personally I like Smooth Criminal the best of this album. You should totally check out the video! I mean, in the video for Smooth Criminal, MJ does a fr$$$king Anti-Gravity lean; I mean how is that even possible? In addition, check out Weird Al Yankovic’s parody of Bad if you haven’t seen it. It’s called “Fat”. Enjoy!

- Who’s Bad?

Bad is probably my favorite MJ album of all time that he had soo many #1 singles from that album like Man In the Mirror which was his favorite songs,The Way You Make Me Feel,Bad and more.One of my favorite song is “The Way You Make Me Feel”.

- I luv this album best album ever!

I remember listening to this when I was 3 and I still listen to it ever since this album is better thriller cause I feel like that songs he had in this album are better than thriller these song another part of me, bad, dirty Diana, I just can’t stop loving you, leave me alone, smooth criminal, speed demon, streetwalker, the way you make me feel, Liberian girl and man in the mirror are all better than thriller #thisalbumisthisbest!

- And then you can get it to work

You should just go ahead amp run

- Happy Halloween

You are the star

- 🔥🔥🔥

🔥🔥🔥

- I’m a moonwalker

The king of pop Michael Jackson is the most innocent person on the planet

- can you say iconic?!?!

this album really can stand alongside thriller, i know i know. but this album is great. and everyone that was alive during that time in the 80s would agree!!

- 30th Anniversary

Happy 30th Anniversary for this album Michael! R.I.P. Michael Jackson

- Too good

This album had two of my favorite songs in it Smooth Crimminal and bad and leave me alone and speed demon

- Volume level on sample is way louder

What’s up with the muted download compared to the sample? I can barely here the download, but I have to turn down the the song sample/clip!! Found this with multiple songs! Better fix this or you guys will be losing customers....starting with me! Not too late to make it right with the correct download volume either.

- My favorite Album Ever

BAD is my all time favorite album ever!!! I love The Way You Make Me Feel every time I hear it on the radio I turn it up and dance to it. Man In The Mirror another one of my favorites I love this song because it shows a little sun shine on the world and a really good motivator to the world. Man In The Mirror was one of the songs off the BAD album along with many others that hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and was the first album in history to have 5 singles hit #1.

- "BAD"... Another Awesome Michael Jackson Album!

Michael, you never fail to impress. I love all of your awesome songs! Thank you for your music!! ❤️👑💕🎶🎤🙏🏼🌎🎵 King of Pop! There will never be another Michael Jackson! Talent like this only comes around every few centuries. And that's why you are also known as the "Greatest Entertainer That Ever Lived." ❤️😊 Love you forever Michael.

- One of the Greatest Ever

I can't say enough about "Bad". It is not only one of my top 5 all time favourite albums, but one of the greatest albums in music history - I truly believe that. There are no fillers, just straight hits and great song after great song. It never gets old, and that's what separates good music from great - if it stands the test of time. "Bad" does just that. "Thriller" is always talked about as the GOAT, but I think "Bad" deserves as much praise. MJ was an icon and a legend. (PS - "The Way You Make Me Feel" is my all time favorite MJ song!)

- Will always be king of pop

Awesome album better then thriller😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

- He always was and will be THE king of pop music Michael is a legend who left us too soon

The best album in my view

- BAD is awesome

This Album is amazing I might make my own music video for one of the songs

- The king of pop

You will liv I forever

- Who's Annie

Who is Annie and is she okay?

- Who is Annie

Is she ok?

- i love it.

i love michael jackson and his music. R.I.P MJ

- Do not know what that Album review is talking about

First off this album is remarkable, a personal favourite of mine the fact that he actually made another album after the biggest album of all time just proves what a true musician he is. 2. Dirty Diana is NOT MYSOGiNISTIC, if you look deeper into the meaning of the lyrics its about how women lower themselves for money feeding off those with fame and fortune

Love you Michael

mike’s definition of ‘bad’ is different to the word itself, he is GOOD and always will be. he is innocent. go read up on it and don’t believe what the media tell you, good day.

- The best

One of the best albums ever. Can't beat MJ

- Genius

Pure genius, one of the best albums of all time

- Fair play just as good as the last one

Yep- said it all.....!!

- Bad

It’s a bad song!

- A real Thriller!

Although Thriller is a great album I think Bad has a better collection of songs overall, from straight pop to more rocky sounds and beautiful ballads it has it all. Liberian girl is a personal favourite and the duet I Just Can't Stop Loving You is gorgeous. The rocky Dirty Diana and hard edged Smooth Criminal are fantastic. MJ at his fabulous best!

- One of the best albums Ever

An amazing follow up to thriller.

- This album is an absolute gem!

I'm an avid Michael Jackson fan, who loves the majority of his songs. Even though Thriller is still the biggest selling album of all time to this day, and it had some amazing hits, THIS album is my personal favourite. I love every song on it, with the exception of the slightly less catchy, 'Just good friends'. This album has so much variety in the genre of songs, and showcases Michael's vocal prowess in his ability to go from soft ballads, to pop, to rock. But I must say that his 'Dirty Diana' is my favourite ever song of his. I love his voice the most on his rockier, more angst filled tunes. 'Give into me' was another fine example, off of his 'Dangerous' album. I already own all his albums on CD, but I love him and his music so much that I also went ahead and purchased the digital copies of the albums from iTunes. I will never understand anyone who can't say that they don't appreciate a single one of his songs, that just annoys me, to be honest. I don't understand how a man with such a unique talent as his could ever be dismissed. He was the true King of Pop, and no one can ever take that title from him. R.I.P Michael. You'll live forever through your music, and in the hearts of your true fans. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

- Cool!

Nice!

- LillyG

This is the best songs ever please remember him

- Legendary!

What a classic! #MJForever

- ❤️❤️

💞💞

- MJ rules the 80s!!

Greatest of all time, incredible songs, highly recommend ❤️

- I Just Can’t Stop Loving... this album!

MJ’s Bad era was just electrifying; from his dress style, to his live concerts and to the phenomenal sound of this incredible piece of art. MJ, you are a talented, unique genius and I love you and miss you very much 🎩✌🏻🙏🏻❤️

- Pushing the boundaries

Each song takes you into a different world. (for me this album tops Thriller, though I think they are all on the same wave length) What is so striking about Michael Jackson’s music in terms of Bad, is his unforgettable time in Motown and experience - he outlived Motown and when he took to ‘pop music’ (per say) he had real deep soul from his earlier life, after the success of motown. Motown was royalty and a niche in industry - to jump into pop from Motown he had a whole different unique sound and outlook on EVERYTHING, which is why I think Bad is a fantastic formula that demonstrates and depicts Michael Jackson’s new way of communicating through experiments... you see it clearly: The rock and pitch of Dirty Diana. The smooth synth in Smooth Criminal. The autobiographical nature of Leave me Alone. And the rumble and feistiness in The Way You Make me Feel. Fantastic. Best album ever.

- Great album

Love this album, thankfully I got to see his concert for this album, long time ago but by far best artist live ever.

- Better than thriller?

Personally think this album is stronger than Thriller! 🎵🎵

- Truly the best

He is absolutely breath taking love him and all his music!! R.I.P MJ
