I learned something from this album. I learned that MJ has so much range, musically and between genres, that it’s hard to understand. I knew he was a genius, but this is another situation like Amy Winehouse where the big hits I was familiar with don’t even capture the breadth of talent involved. I also learned, or maybe remembered, that “Man In the Mirror” is one of my personal top 5 songs of all time. This album is a work of absolute genius and I can’t wait until the next MJ album I get to listen to.

Jams:

“The Way You Make Me Feel”
“Man In The Mirror”
“Dirty Diana”
