Editorial reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Given the pace of Michael Jackson's post-Thriller release schedule, it's striking that Off the Wall appeared between two albums--Destiny (1978) and Triumph (1980)--which the twentysomething phenomenon made with his brothers. Aided by richly detailed but not overdone production, Off the Wall defined how much Michael might do. Tracks such as "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough", "Rock with You", "Burn this Disco Out" and the title track not only consolidated his dancefloor power, but showed just how soulful and varied his vocals could get on up-tempo material. Artistic role models such as 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 with producer Quincy Jones and "Rock with You" composer Rod Temperton. --Rickey Wright

Easily his best
Wow, not a single reviewer rates it less than five stars.
As good as they may be, later albums sound contrived in comparison.
It's just fresher more 'alive' than his other stuff.
If you don't already have this, don't hesitate.

Fantastic!
This album is incredible! All the songs are great , especially Don't Stop Til You Get Enough, Get On The Floor and She's Out Of My Life.
Michael is an amazing artist who can lend his hand to any type of song. I urge everybody to by this album, along with Thriller , Bad, Dangerous,Invincible and The Jacksons albums. Michael is the greatest artist who ever lived. Period.

Off the wall with feet on the floor
What I say is applicable to all Michael Jackson's work - if you have ever questioned this man, just listen to his music, he is genius. I defy anyone to sit still and not get up and dance, for your very soul not to be moved. I've followed him since he was 11, I'm 6 months older than him. He is simply the best and many are jealous of that. Try to appreciate rather than pull the man apart for being so great. Thanks Michael for the hundreds of hours of pleasure you have given me.

Brilliant
I've like MJ's music for a while but never really got into his stuff. I listened to Bad and Thriller which are both good albums but "Off The Wall" is simply wicked! This album is definitely in my top 10 favourites.
