Off the Wall is better than Thriller or Bad as an unpopular music opinion? I heard that for years from tons of critics and finally was given the album by a friend. I found Off The Wall didn't really work for me on any level though that's mainly due to my unremitting hatred of most disco (there are quite a few disco songs I like but the whole aesthetic on a whole album just kills me).
Bad had no real clunkers on the album (and a song left off -Streetwalker- is a killer track as well) but it was more of a continuation of Thriller and didn't have that freshness. Dangerous could have had five or six songs cut and if that happened it would have been a really strong album. One of the reasons I think it's not well regarded is the first two singles were mediocre at best. Invincible has about 7 excellent songs but the rest of the album makes me want to bash my head into a wall.
