Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: Given the pace of Michael Jackson's post-Thriller release schedule, it's striking that Off the Wall appeared between two albums with his brothers, Destiny (1978) and Triumph (1980), on which the twentysomething phenomenon was also fully engaged. Aided by richly detailed but not overdone production, Off the Wall redefined how much Michael might do. Tracks like 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough,' 'Rock with You,' the title cut (all Top 10 singles), and 'Burn this Disco Out' not only consolidated his dance-floor power, but showed just how soulful and varied his vocals could get on uptempo material. Artistic role models like James Brown and Jackie Wilson echo through the mixes, but these were Jackson's leaps forward. The addition of pure pop confection--Paul McCartney's 'Girlfriend,' Stevie Wonder's 'I Can't Help It'--further fleshed out the star's young-adult persona and helped make Off the Wall among the most fondly remembered of all his solo work. This special edition features two magic home demos and entertaining, insightful interviews of producer Quincy Jones and 'Rock with You' composer Rod Temperton. --Rickey Wright Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Classic Michael!!!This is what I was looking for from Mike... It's not Thriller but it's close. If Mike didn't get weird on people then he would of out sold the Beetles by now in total volume. But, he is still one of the greatest.... Rating: - brings back old memoriesit seems like the good old days are gone,I met some very nice girls when this album came out. Rating: - The Original Artwork for Off The Wall albumI only wish that Michael Jackson, Epic/Sony would release this album with the original artwork featuring Michael Jackson's face (when he was black and before his nose surgeries) and his nice afro. I fortunately bought this CD in 1991 which featured the original artwork of a handsome young man. It is just a shame what has happened to his appearance. Rating:  - it has bad sound qualityI got this from the company when I worked there, I opened it and I played it and the sound was so bad I took it out and broke it in half and melted it with the microwave and drained it, I kept the case because I have a copy thats missing the case, so its worth buying if u have an old one missing the case. Rating: - MUST HAVEHey you must get this...you love music, you love real music when music was actually heartfelt then u must get this.... forget about his personal life, this man has talent and it shows |
