Amazon.co.uk Review
Michael Jackson was still going for pop hits with 1991's IDangerous/I, but he also front-loaded the album with six straight Teddy Riley-assisted cuts. This half-hour swoop of tense, aggressive, often angular funk was Jackson's most interesting music since IThriller/I, and still sounds, well, invincible on this remastered edition. After that, the record's uneven, but there's nothing embarrassing about it, either. "Gone Too Soon", a non-Jackson composition about teen AIDS casualty Ryan White, is a quiet statement (particularly played next to the choir-laden "Heal the World", "Keep the Faith", and "Will You Be There") showing that the star doesn't always have to get showy. The sprightly "Black or White" is explicitly pro-interracial romance, an angle its video didn't go near, and the urgent "Give In to Me" is almost scary. Scary good, that is. I--Rickey Wright/I

Michael Jackson IS the King of Pop
First it is key to say that I am a huge fan so I may be somewhat biased, however, I can say that there are a few not so great tracks on here and you'll know which ones I mean when you listen to it. We all like to buy an album that we can just let run through but this one definitely needs a bit of pressure on the skip button. Having said that, there are a list of fantastic, unique and totally MJ tunes on here for example, Black or White (10/10); Will You Be There (one of the best MJ songs ever); Who is it (got a classic Michael spin on it and is beautiful); Keep The Faith (this one was not a single but is my favourite MJ song and is so unique and mind blowing). Slash appears on this album so if you like the sound of the guitar then maybe you'll say this is the best MJ album but as I'm more of a piano or vocal lass I'm not over thrilled with the electric tunes. I can recognise that this is a ground-breaking CD and worth every penny and more. br /RIP MJJ

Hindsight gives us the iconic Michael Jackson song
This album contains a song called "Gone too soon". Amazing lyrics...listen to them and it's as if Michael was singing about himself. Buy this album for the most poignant possible tribute to Michael Jackson...by Michael Jackson!

This is his White Album
I'm writing this after Michaels death. he died 36 hours ago. br / br /Clearly the news and critics are all talking about his talent, but mainly just about Thriller.. Now obvioulsy Thrillers a great record etc etc.. but I've heard commentators constantly say how everything MJ did post Thriller was a backwards step.. a let down.. a commercial fall.. Thrillers supposedly his creative peak! br / br /let me just say this is, in my opinion all wrong - this record is Michaels creative peak. With more control over the production and almost complete control over the song writing, Dangerous is for Mj what the white album is for the Beatles. No one says your not allowed to like any Beatle album more than Sgt Pepper and yet I feel almost scoffed at for saying I prefer Dangerous to Thriller. br / br /This is 100% Michael.. This is where he REALLY began to be a singer/songwriter, really expressing his views and heart on record like never before. br / br /You got the Perfect Pop of Black or White, the funky Jam and Dangerous + many more.. and the heartfelt Heal the World, Gone to Soon or Will you be there.. you've got the rock of Keep the faith or Give in to Me.. it's got everything! br / br /This is pure MJ - maybe not "classic" MJ.. but creatively, its MJ's peak.

King of Pop
As a massive Michael Jackson fan myself I think that this album is among the best of his work (after Thriller). Full of great grooves, beats, melodies, not to mention the lyrics. Listening to it really makes you relax from your everyday stress...

It's not all just about Thriller...
When you think about Michael Jacksons music, you are most likely to think Thriller, Bad.... br /Dangerous, released in 1991, is perhaps one of Jacksons most under-rated pieces of work. The music reeks of quality. br /Whilst Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad can have a dated feel to them, Dangerous still sounds fresh, funky and straight out the '90s. br / br /Highlights from the album include 'Will you be there?' A track laden with heaps of genuine emotion. You will love this song. Guaranteed. br /'Who is it?' has a great beat and feel to it, sandwiched between the funky anti-racist statement track 'Black or White?' and 'Give in to me', which is awesomely intense. br /I could go on and on praising songs from Dangerous because in all honesty they are all brilliant. Every one is single worthy, whether its the heavy bass of 'Jam' or the soul healing ballad 'Heal the world'. br /Michael set himself the task of creating an album that will live and live when he embarked on Dangerous, and I do believe he succeeded there. br / br /Even the album artwork is incredible. You have to look at it yourself to appreciate it. br /If you don't own this album already; buy it now. You won't regret it.
