There's a lot to be said for professional craftsmanship at its peak, and Dangerous has plenty of that, not just on such fine singles as "In the Closet," "Remember the Time," or the blistering "Jam," but on album tracks like "Why You Wanna Trip on Me." No, it's not perfect — it has a terrible cover, a couple of slow spots, and suffers from CD-era ailments of the early '90s, such as its overly long running time and its deadening Q Sound production, which sounds like somebody forgot to take the Surround Sound button off. Even so, Dangerous captures Jackson at a near-peak, delivering an album that would have ruled the pop charts surely and smoothly if it had arrived just a year earlier. But it didn't — it arrived along with grunge, which changed the rules of the game nearly as much as Thriller itself. Consequently, it's the rare multi-platinum, number one album that qualifies as a nearly forgotten, underappreciated record.

No contest. Dangerous wins. If you want the best of Blood On The Dance Floor, download the new songs on iTunes, but most of the remixes suck hard. The only remixes worth checking out are, "2 Bad," "Stranger In Moscow," "Scream" and "HIStory." Beyond those tracks, the remixes get pretty awful.
In short, Dangerous is amazing from "Jam" to "Dangerous." (All of the songs.) Blood On The Dance Floor is about 5 remixes too long. And they both are a tie for amazing cover-art. [Edited 2/10/08 15:45pm] MJ Fan 1992-Forever

Dangerous definitely
Especially, Jam, Give into me, Remember the Time, In the Closet and Who Is it. Although I love Scream uncut on HIStory (Stop fucking with me) and this time around (The biggie solo rap)- babeee!!! 17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince | |

Dangerous "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

AlexdeParis said: dancerella said: does he seriously say that? Mike cursing?! Yes. There was a big fuss about it and two months later they released a 'clean version' where the f word was bleeped out and the line Do Me, Jew me, was changed in "they don't really care about us", the dirty version now is quite rare. I think it was an overreaction, although its the first time Jacko officially swears in a song. He only says fuck once in the chorus of scream, which usually goes "Stop pressuring, just stop pressuring me" You make me wanna scream 17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince | |
