Review

A thing that profoundly annoys me about mainstream pop-albums is just how front-loaded most of them are. After track 6 nothing is of real interest in this album. However it is still a pretty good Michael Jackson album.

Not as good as Off The Wall but better than Thriller or Bad. However just as it is hard to take MJ as a sexual being so it is with JT, he is not only much to young but much too goofy to ever be sexy. But he tries. So it ends up being funny, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Pharell does a great job at production but again the whole thing can be turned off after track 6 and you won't lose much. Making the album much more bearable. Still, this is good pop, but nothing I particularly want to listen to again.

Track Highlights

1. Like I Love You
2. Señorita
3. Rock Your Body
4. Cry Me a River

Final Grade

8/10

Trivia
