I have heard a lot of the singles from this Album but today i listened to it for the first time in order.

What an absolutely mental album... i just cant decide if its great or awful.. It goes from really funky and cutting edge Pop to soppy power ballads and everything else in between.

I dont think i ever heard an album so unsure in what it wants to be... Stylistically it is all over the place!

I find my self loving the first half of the album and then not so much the second half.

Im 27 born in 89 so i was wondering how this album was received in 1991?
 
It had a couple of reasonable hits IIRC.

I did actually go to a Dangerous tour concert at Wembley. Guess I must've been about 12.. Wow.
Don't worry, I was at a safe distance from the stage ;)

Anyway, it was quality, but that was probably because he did all the classic hits too.

Snap! way back in 1992. Not by choice though. Little sister's 'bestie' chickened out at the last minute & with no BF at the time I was asked to be the chaperone. :rolleyes:

Picked the very concert he decided to do a no show, led to little sister floods of tears. Rescheduled for 3 weeks later.

Opinion? He was very good at entertaining a big crowd, not to my taste though. Given the choice I would've rather gone to Summerslam a couple of weeks later. :p

Guess you were at the same one as me then. Still you got to see Kriss Kross before they told us, or was it Rozalla. Can't remember now ;)

Not sure why anyone bothers with this sick individual anymore.

Was there any evidence he was actually guilty of anything?

Musically he was a talented to say the least.

Dangerous was an OK album, but not his defining music as he got older he became more wishy washy, his greatest albums were Thriller and Bad.

I'm no Jacko fan btw.

Oh god, I'd totally blocked that from my memory. Pretty sure it was Kriss Kross :(

Just had a quick Google and it looks like both of them were supporting acts :)

For the record, I've always liked Jacko as an artist. I don't care about the rest and don't get bogged down in it. I really like 10 of the tracks on the Dangerous album (funnily enough they're mostly the ones that were released as singles). The only released single that I don't really care about either way is In the Closet.
 
If you take out Gone Too Soon and Heal the World (replace these with Stranger in Moscow) and shorten the first 6 songs by a minute each then this album would have been a classic. Who Is It and Give in to Me are criminally underrated.
 
This is quite simply his best album (IMO)
The heavier songs he did were fantastic.

All, bar a few, are absolute brilliant songs.

Why you want to trip on me
in the closet
She Drives Me Wild
Black or White
Heal the World
Who is it (joint best song)
Give in to me (joint best song)
Dangerous

Very Good
Jam
Keep the Faith

OK
Remember the time
Will you be there
Gone to Soon

Such a fantastic album
 
It's like two EPs welded together. First half is great, edgy dance/R&B/industrial, then it breaks into bland MJ comfort zone stuff (feed the world, black & White etc)

Although Give in to Me is absolutely bangin' :D
