Michael Jackson's 7th record was released in 1987. 'Bad' followed global smash 'Thriller', and featured "Man In The Mirror", "Bad", "Smooth Criminal" & "The Way You Make Me Feel". This 25th anniversary version includes 13 rare and unreleased bonus tracks.
Michael Jackson approached Bad much the same way he approached Thriller - take the basic formula of the predecessor, expand it slightly, and move it outward. This meant that he moved deeper into hard rock, deeper into schmaltzy adult contemporary, deeper into hard dance - essentially taking each portion of Thriller to an extreme, while increasing the quotient of immaculate studio craft. He wound up with a sleeker, slicker Thriller, further cementing his status as the King of Pop.
