First of all when listening to this album or even thinking about this album cast aside the fact that MJ is if not a kiddie fiddler just plain weird. Forget that and take your mind back to the late 80s early nineties when Micheal Jackson was the King of Pop and probably the most famous guy in the world. Then you are in the right mindset for this album, which by the way rocks.

Quick request get whatever MJ record you have (and to be reading this you must have some), put it on and see how long it is until your trying to do the Jacko crotch grabbing dance (no pun intended). Unless you are Stephen Hawking that is. Then times that by 80mins and you have this album.

The album is basically a compilation od Jacko's greatest hits including, Billie Jean, Bad, Black or White, Smooth Criminal and my personal favourite You rock my world, if you are not familiar with these then you must have been in a coma for the past two decades. But if you were they mostly consist of a strong unique beat with easily sing along lyrics as well as a few Shamones.

I know this is in practically all the other reviews but here's the tracklist anyway(just in case your memorys bad):

1. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
2. Rock With You
3. Billie Jean
4. Beat It
5. Thriller
6. I Just Can't Stop Loving You
7. Bad
8. Smooth Criminal
9. The Way You Make Me Feel
10. Man In The Mirror
11. Dirty Diana
12. Black Or White
13. You Are Not Alone
14. Earth Song
15. You Rock My World
16. Break Of Dawn
17. One More Chance
18. Ben (Live)

There must be some you like there and at a tenner its not badly priced for the number of tracks you get. Although to be honest it is probably cheaper and better (cutout the naff break of dawn) if you just burn your own CD by copying the tracks off the existing albums, mainly History if you have them, thats what i did anyway. Before i got it for my bday that is.

Well thats about it all thats left to say is it is a really good album i'd definately recommend it for anyone who has ever liked Michael Jackson as this captures him at his pique when he was still famous for the right reasons

Thanks for reading

PS Get the DVD as well i haven't seen it but going on his live performances and videos it should be good viewing
