An intro played by Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, leads into a heavy and fast dance beat and a brilliant socially conscious chorus. ‘Black or White’ is the definitive track from this album, perfectly combining rap, dance and hard rock. As expected the song also has a brilliant chorus to dance to. The latter is one of the better know tracks from the album, and is also influenced by the new jack movement, and has heavy usage of guitar and piano. The song has a new jack influence and is pretty upbeat. The former is about keeping a relationship between lovers a secret. ‘In The Closet’ and ‘Remember the Time’ are more typical sounding Michael Jackson R&B songs. The chorus is aggressive and driven, but at 5:24 the song drags a bit at times. The latter starts off with a brilliant guitar intro before a heavy but slow electronic beat come sin. Jackson gives a solid vocal performance, and the lyrics are very good and socially motivated. The former mixes rock, funk and dance beats quite well, and helps ease the listener into his new sound. ‘Jam’ and ‘Why You Wanna Trip on Me’ open the album and capture the feel of the album pretty darn well. Jackson decided to incorporate a heavier more rock sound, and he also sings at a lower register on the majority of the songs, compared to his more upbeat and rhythmic music of his previous albums. The rise of Nirvana, and the more serious and darker tone of the 90s musical scene, meant Jackson had to adapt with the times or risk getting seen as a nostalgia act. In the beginning of the 90s, Jackson was still loved through out the world, but there was no denying that his popularity had diminished a bit since the 80s. Dangerous was released in 1991, and is generally considered the last true great Michael Jackson record, and depending on the listeners preferred musical genre, it’s considered by quite a few as his best album.Īfter the huge success of Thriller and Bad, Jackson had the damn near impossible task of trying to maintain the close to perfect quality. When one thinks about Michael Jackson, it might take them a second to remember that before all the scandals and tragedies, and Invincible, he actually made good music a long time ago.
