Michael Jackson
Dangerous

THE REVIEW

Before being bombarded with criticism and various other things, I want to start by saying that this is my first review on DeBeaser, so I'm still a beginner. This first review of mine is about "Dangerous," an album by Michael Jackson. As is common practice for people today, many are probably already starting to think about pedophilia, skin change, etc.… well, Michael can be whatever you want character-wise, but on an artistic level, he should absolutely not be criticized!!!!!!!!

One of the greatest artists of the last century, he revolutionized the concept of the music video and revitalized the pop genre (not by chance he is nicknamed "The King of Pop").

"Dangerous" is, in my opinion, the most beautiful and complete album in Jackson's discography and is also, despite being from 1991, one of the few of his albums from the last millennium that does not feel dated. For instance, listening to "Bad" (dated 1987) now gives a feeling of being ancient, outdated, and past. With "Dangerous," an artist today would still achieve great success.

But let's move on to the songs on the album. The CD starts very well with the engaging "Jam", which immediately gives an idea of the nature of the album in question. I love the beginning with the sound of breaking glass and a voice saying "three, two, one, go!". Then it moves to "Why You Wanna Trip on Me", a song written against journalists, catchy but at times repetitive. It's with the third track that the album starts to produce its strong pieces with "In the Closet", with a majestic piano introduction accompanied by the sensual voice of a mysterious woman (some suppose it's Naomi Campbell). The following "She Drives Me Wild" represents, together with the decent "I Can't Let Her Get Away", the least successful episode of the album. Other strong pieces arrive with "Remember the Time", "Heal the World," and with what is perhaps the album's most famous hit, "Black Or White". You then reach the piece, in my opinion, the most beautiful of the album, "Who is it?" (every time I hear it, I am moved as if it were the first time). "Give in to Me" is another gem of the album, featuring Slash, the legendary guitarist of Guns N' Roses. Also beautiful is "Will You Be There", although it has a senseless introduction of a minute and a half that seems taken from a church mass. While "Keep the Faith" expresses cheerfulness and joy, "Gone Too Soon" makes one dream delightfully. The last track, "Dangerous", completes a fantastic album in the best of ways.
