at folks picking Triumph.
Although it has some great songs, it’s just too messy. “Can You Feel It” is just trite and borders on corny. “Your Ways” is a bad song with even worse production. “Everybody” is just a bad remake of MJ’s “Get On The Floor”, which is also not that great a song.

Side 2 (for those vinyl lovers) starts off fantastic, but “Walk Right Now” is an awful attempt to recapture the funk and energy of “All Night Dancin’”, “Give It Up” never reaches its potential, and “Wondering Who” completely ruins it at the end.

Now for the good songs on Triumph…
Ellie was almost right. However, “Lovely One” is actually a re-work of “Things I Do For You” and “Working Day and Night”, but for those reasons it’s a great song, especially to dance to. “Heartbreak Hotel” (despite what Jackoheadz say about “Billie Jean”) is Michael’s crowning achievement as a songwriter, arranger, and producer, so much so that he drove the song’s theme into the ground with “Billie Jean”, “Dirty Diana”, “Dangerous”, etc., possibly to re-capture that in the zone feeling of ”This is IT!”
Or either he just hates women.
“Time Waits For No One” is flawless, PERIOD, and MJ should have continued to perform this song throughout his career right after “She’s Out Of My Life”. Dumb bastid.

But Destiny is simply a better body of work, more honest, cohesive, soulful, arranged and produced better, and its aged far much better than Triumph because it’s a Soul/R&B album where Triumph ,coming off the heels of OTW, was a blatant attempt at post disco-era Pop. (Can you say “Celebration” by Kool and The Gang”? )

I think the success of OTW and the tour are the reasons why folks prefer Triumph. Hell, I remember I almost peed on my myself to learn that “Michael Jackson is back with his brothers”. But Destiny is a better than Triumph for a lot of the same reasons that OTW is better than Thriller.

I know you got sooooouuul. HEY! ‘Cause if you didn’t you wouldn’t be in here!
