Seems That The World's Got A POLL For Me: Michael Jackson's DANGEROUS (1991)

JAM!

man, if he hadn't been so concerned with filling up the capacity of a cd, this could have been a masterpiece. throw out the schlocky ballads and rearrange the sequence and you have a damn good album:

jam
black or white
why you wanna trip on me
give in to me
in the closet
dangerous
remember the time
she drives me wild
who is it
can't let her get away

and even like that, it's still a goddamn hour long. title track is underrated. "remember the time" is so good. it's fucking godlike. my sweet lord, what an absolute `choon.

somehow i played this CD a million times without looking at the cover for longer than 15 seconds

and it represents the music perfectly.

i had it on cassette and would often investigate the scaled down version with a magnifying glass. true story.
