Off The Wall 1979 Album

Michael Jackson

MJ's Most Consistent Album For consistency I think I would rank this as the best MJ album out of the lot. It doesn't have a 'Smooth Criminal' or 'Beat It' amongst the tracks but from 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough' to 'Burn This Disco Out' you have great music. I also think the slower ballads here like 'Girlfriend' and 'She's Out of My Life' work better than what Thriller has with 'Baby Be Mine' and 'The Lady in My Life'. While lacking the breadth of originality of some of his other music, here following the disco popularity, and not being as pop-culturally significant as what was to come, it's a breakthrough record in many ways and like I started this piece of writing with, for a consistent body of work, this is his best. Beats: ★★★★★ Vocals: ★★★★★ Hooks: ★★★★★ Best Tracks: Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, Working Day and Night, Off the Wall, She's Out of My Life, It's the Falling in Love, Burn This Disco Out.
