I dont think Walk Right Now was a good choice.


YOUR WAYS
and
EVERYBODY are good funk choices off that record and are extremely ignored among u guys.

Your Ways...gosh so scary funky, haunting and vocally top notch on falcetto.

Everybody, such a better version of "Get On The Floor" much better and definitley mo funk.

Dont know about that, but I will say that "Jam" is one song that I would love to hear P do. The music and lyrics in it, are very funky!! Was listening the other day, and wondered...."wonder what kind of FUNK P would put in this jam. Would be interesting.

Exactly. It's a great funky album without being all over produced and polished for mass appeal. Mike and the guys just throwdown naturally on this one without coming across like they are trying for "superstar" status. This one's about the music and that's why it's my favorite.

Triumph is great, but I think Destiny is the best Jacksons album. Things I do For You is the funkiest song on both those albums.

That's my second favorite.

im gonna borrower something from Richard Roeper (ugh...is he ruining Roger Ebert's career or what?):

Best film is the film that has more weight and more importance...


Favorite film is one that you will enjoy more often for what it is..

So, "Off The Wall" is MJ's "best" album but im sorry folks "Triumph" is my MJ favorite album...This is the one album I am not ashamed to blare while driving...This is the one that gets everyone grooving without any laughs...

props to this thread!! and Triumph


(hey, anyone else wonder if Prince was trying to copy Walk Right Now's breakdown during Sleep Around?)

Co-sign. I've always said this about some of Invincible's tracks. It almost sounds as if some of these songs were from an aborted Rod Temperton Appreciation album.

Damn, seems like I HAVE to get this one!

Can you muthafuckas just take this shit to the MJ boards already Every day some MJ BOOL, LAWD

CalhounSq said:

sure.. sure... but... hey.. how you like "Triumph"?

and what's more...there's to much Prince talking going on over at MJ boards... scary

Dancelot said:

I like it, actually But I don't know what in the world Walk Right Now has to do w/ Prince Mike is just on some safe, technical shit. He could never get "funky" like P, so like Jesse say...

THE QUESTION IS MOOT

Me too! I liked Destiny now I got to see what the fuss is all about.

CalhounSq said:

a Jesse-ism.

"Triumph" is above "Thriller" on my favourites list, too, and some of the songs are far better than some on "Off The Wall" but as a whole OTW beats both. The best Jacksons album anyhow.

I'm listening to Destiny right now and damnit, if Triumph is just as good as that one (at least the 5 best songs on it), I WILL get it!

eBay, here I come!

Pbg said:

The best Jacksons album to me is their incredible 1981's Live album.
On the other hand, the best J5 album is a toss between 1973's Get It Together and 1975's Moving Violation.

calldapplwondery83 said:

Check out lovely one it has the same flavour in Things I do for you.

Higlights of Triumph:

1) Can You Feel It
2) Lovely One
3) Heartbreak Hotel
4) Time Waits For Noone
5) Walk Right Now

Those are the amzing ones, the other ones are great or atlest good

Listening to it right now!

I like the Triumph album, but I don't understand the comparison to anything Prince has done, especially his funkier tracks. Walk Right Now - though it sports a dumb title - is a good song, but it's not the best on the album. Structurally it sounds a great deal like Can You Feel It, and it's pretty much a straight up disco tune. It's barely got any funk in it.

RipHer2Shreds said:

That's basically what I was thinking. "Walk Right Now" but I like this lp. Destiny is second only to Off The Wall because of the funk, soul, and mid-tempo gems in the title track, "Bless His Soul", amd "That's What You Get (For Being Polite)" Triumph has several tracks that I skip over.

MattyJam said:

I think I need to check out "Triumph"."Heartbreak Hotel"is the shit!

larryluvlife said:

Heartbreak Hotel/This Place Hotel (whichever name you choose) is the best thing about that album!

O.K. so this is funk but it's really close to disco in its production and overall sound. How close does it sound to the album before it?

Adisa said:

Yea, Destiny is the Jackson’s most effortless work; they seem to have fun and it excudes all over the record. That's What You Get (For Being Polite) is up there with any great piece mike ever wrote or arranged. Things I Do for you is funky as hell. This performance of that song on AB is an example http://s27.yousendit.com/...7GGIYXS1Z The whole destiny project was off the chain.You'll need a divx player or plugin to watch the video.

I think it was the show "Top of the Pops" when they performed like 3 songs from Destiny. Jermaine was also a musical guest on the show and he joined them on stage for the for the songs "Destiny" and "Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)" They opened the set with "Things I Do For You" which is pure funk...Randy jamming on keyboards then doing the conga solo! I have this performance on tape somewhere, along with performances of "Dancing Machine" in 1974, "Enjoy Yourself" and "Show You The Way To Go" (I forget what show but it's all the way live) and other J5/Jackson tv performances.

The good ol' days

If they ever get back together they need to do Show You The Way To Go.

Most of u would love to rag on this album.

U heard "she"? One of the best newjack tracks of all time.

The single "nothin' (that compares to you)" is "tender lover" good too.....

thesexofit said:

I liked 'Harley' and 'If you only Believe' and both the tracks you mentioned. It's not a bad album at all. I don't like the title track at all though.

Oh yeah "harley". I swear they have a slight dig at Prince on this track?

"come on baby, lets ride" .....which segues into a lovely if very short acapella harmony which leads striaght into the pounding drums of teddy Riley and She"..... "i really need her".....classic stuff.

"if u only belive" is a great track infact. Thanx 4 reminding me.....

"art of madness" has odd, yet amusing lyircs...
