Any album containing songs on the level with 'Smooth Criminal' and 'The way you make me feel' is a gift; but these eleven songs (with the exception of the soppy Man in the Mirror) must make this album one of the finest ever produced. The 'good' tracks in Thriller are nothing short of sublime, but the remaining four are detrimental to the album as a whole. Bad is consistently strong; and features what may be the only good duet in Michael Jackson's career. Essential Jackson, ideal for almost any musical taste.
