Album Description
Available in:
Bad est le septième album de Michael Jackson et son 3e album solo chez Epic/Sony. C'est l'un des albums les plus vendus de l'histoire et celui qui contient le plus de morceaux classés n°1 dans les palmarès.
Il a été classé 43e meilleur album de tous les temps par MTV/VH1 en 2009.
Bad est également le titre d'une chanson de Michael Jackson dont le clip a été réalisé par Martin Scorsese.
Au 3 janvier 2010, Bad est 177e du classement au Billboard 200.
Michael Jackson s'est plus impliqué dans Bad que dans Thriller. Il a écrit et composé neuf des onze titres de l'album. Plus de 45 millions d'exemplaires de Bad se sont vendus à ce jour , ce qui en fait le deuxième album le plus vendu de Michael Jackson, entre Thriller et Dangerous.
Bad est (avec Teenage Dream de Katy Perry) l'un des deux albums contenant le plus de singles no 1 au Billboard Hot 100, au nombre de cinq : I Just Can't Stop Loving You, Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel, Man in the Mirror et Dirty Diana.
Afin de promouvoir la sortie de l'album, Michael entame le Bad World Tour le 12 septembre 1987 soit quelques jours après la sortie de l'album. La tournée sera la plus grande tournée de l'époque réunissant près de 4,4 millions de personnes à travers 123 concerts.
User Album Review
A multi-million-unit-shifter, Bad was (and remains) as important to 1980s pop culture as the rise of the Walkman, the Back to the Future movies, and the shooting of JR. Like 1982’s Thriller, it’s an album that appeared to easily find a home within the record collection of rockers and poppers, punks and poets alike.
Ubiquity comes cheap in 2012 (thanks, internet), but in 1987, it was earned by being the best of the best. And Bad was just that: almost a greatest hits package, it spawned nine hit singles. Its chart campaign didn’t begin with the title cut, but with I Just Can’t Stop Loving You, a number one in both the US and UK. In Britain, Bad (the song) peaked at 3, as Rick Astley sat atop the pile.
The title track rocketed to No.1 in the US, followed by The Way You Make Me Feel, Man in the Mirror and Dirty Diana. Jackson’s star was at its zenith across the 1980s – but fame never guarantees critical approval. Yet Bad was as well-received in the press as it was by Jackson’s fans. It’s a special rarity: a commercial behemoth with nary a lapse in quality across its 48 minutes.
Quincy Jones’ production is tight yet yielding, every song allowed to breathe and never cluttered by needless elements. Dirty Diana is remarkably lean, Steve Stevens’ flamboyant guitar aside, yet powerful too. Speed Demon, deemed “filler” by critics at the time, is fun funk-rock that’d sit happily on a Prince album of the period, compositionally if not lyrically.
Unreleased demos make up the majority of this anniversary release’s second disc. Amongst the most interesting are Song Groove (A/K/A Abortion Papers) and Price of Fame. The former, aggressive of percussion yet light of synth, is about a Christian girl carrying an unwanted pregnancy. “Michael knew (it) could be controversial,” read the accompanying notes; but Jackson handles the subject matter with tenderness.
Price of Fame addresses the pressures Jackson felt as a pop idol. Of his obsessed followers, he wrote: “They’ll do anything and it’s breaking my heart… It’s running me crazy.” It is, perhaps, a first instance of the cracks that’d soon spread. But nothing that was to come in Jackson’s career could ever take the shine off this awesome, evergreen and essential pop masterpiece.
