I will preface by saying that this is my first review and if my head doesn't have more of these strokes of genius, I think it might also be the last one.
You must have already understood that I will talk about the greatest composer, artist, and performer of pop music of all time, and more precisely about HIStory. It seems normal to start directly with the second CD of originals (I would kill Jacko for having included the first CD in the box set ahhhhhh how frustrating) anyway let's get the review started!
This CD is practically a masterpiece, the best album of Michael both artistically and musically. It starts immediately with an angry piece, SCREAM (I still have to figure out how the video cost 7 million dollars, it's hideous) the lead single of the album that brought the king back to success. I would skip the second track right away and move on to the masterpiece, the first of a long series, absolutely stunning. I'm talking about STRANGER IN MOSCOW, written and interpreted masterfully by Jacko (I get emotional listening to it). Then we move on to This Time Around, which in my opinion, doesn't live up to the album. The second masterpiece, the song I prefer, that I adore, and which I consider better than Lennon's IMAGINE is EARTH SONG. It starts almost quietly, then gradually, gradually, the music changes (literally) the melody becomes more compelling, my heart beats faster, I feel an emotion never felt before but at the most beautiful part, it ends anyway it is to be considered a musical masterpiece.
I would like to focus instead on the piece that gives the album its title, HISTORY. Even here, the start is not the best, but then right in the chorus, the genius of Jackson returns, comes out like a cannonball thrown at a thousand onto something (you decide) after EARTH SONG it's my favorite. I love this artist (artistically obviously) I have all his CDs, only he gives me strong emotions. It's a pity that he is a little bit mentally ill, psychopathic, pedophile, crazy, and impulsive but every genius has their flaw and being more than a genius he has more than one. Thank you all, peace, and goodwill, the mass is over: AMEN.

A wonderful song that artistically has nothing less than songs like 'Imagine' by Lennon!!!
Thus ends an amazing album, worthy of remaining forever in the history of great music!

"History is considered Jackson's most mature and autobiographical album that takes greater awareness of a social system he does not agree with."
"'Stranger in Moscow' is one of the singer’s greatest masterpieces, a perfect blend of melodies and words that express all the genius of an artist who is now misunderstood."
