Dangerously good - By: B, 08 Aug 2010 
If Michael Jackson wasn't great before this album he was after making this. Like Thriller & Bad it's full of hits & brilliant songs. They all well written & up there with the best albums around, because there's no album fillers. Like all top class album's all songs could be singles, of which most off them are top 10 hits. It is different to his previous albums but is the change of direction his career needed & with that he ended up with another great album.
Dangerous - By: Spider Monkey, 05 May 2010 
There are probably only a handful of Jackson albums that are truly required listening `Off the Wall', `Thriller', `Bad' & `Dangerous' &in my opinion this is one of the best. This has some great songs on it & showed Jackson was still able to create top class music after the huge successes of `Thriller' & `Bad' when people doubted he could do it again. Stand out tracks for me have to be `Who Is It' & `Give In To Me' & this last track has an excellent solo played by Slash that gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. There are softer songs here like `Heal the World' & whilst these are well written, I have personally never been a fan of Jackson's ballads, but there is something here for everyone. `Black or White' is probably one of the most well known of the tracks on offer, but as you can quickly see there are so many tracks of note here & overall this is a very polished & worthy albumin Jackson's back catalogue. The booklet artwork is great & you get the lyrics & some photos inside. This still sounds great even after repeated listening & considering it is nearly twenty years old that is very impressive. Well worth adding to your Jackson collection at some point.
Basically - By: soph``, 02 Dec 2009 Basically i love will you be there i love give into me! Those were 2 very good reasons to buy this!
A change of direction that was needed - By: C. Smith, 27 Oct 2009 Although 'Bad' was deservedly a huge success, Michael Jackson & some of his fans were disappointed with the result. It had not sold nearly as well as Thriller for a start & there was certainly nothing like 'Billie Jean' on it. So, for his next album 'Dangerous', Michael opted for a changein direction, replacing legendary producer Quincy Jones with more contemporary Teddy Riley. The result is a far more dynamic & forward-thinking album than 'Bad' was, as some of the tracks - 'Jam' & 'Black or White' for instance, still sound up-to-date today. All of the music on this album is solid & some of it, like 'Jam', is certainly pure funk...except perhaps 'Will You Be There' & 'Heal the World', which are a little self-indulgent & become a bit of a dirge after a few listens.
As it turned out, this album was amazingly just as commercialy successful (worldwide) as 'Bad' was, selling a similar number of copies. It does flow better overall & has a longer running time as well. There is also more solid single material on this album than on 'Bad'. Bear all thatin mind & you should purchase 'Dangerous'...as well as being one of the most popular albums of all time, most of its material is simply great music.
Under-rated - By: Destini120, 21 Oct 2009 I think this Michael Jackson album is SO under-rated! It doesn't get the same amount of adulation as Off The Wall, Thriller & Bad & although of those albums I've mentioned are complete GENIUS - I think Dangerous is pretty damn good too! Stand out tracks for me are In The Closet, Remember The Time, Who Is It, Will You Be There & Gone Too Soon.
