Micheal Jackson's first album "Off The Wall" is an example of the great work that was to come from this talented artist. The track,"She's out of My Life" is the best and near the end of the tracks. "Girlfriend," is very gimmicky and features Micheal playing with how high he can pitch his voice. "Off The Wall," is a good party song.The demo of "Rock With You" is very good and interesting because the narator for the interviews with Quincuy Jones and Rod temperton explains that Micheal's sister Janet and brother Germaine played the cow bell and other intstraments on the song. The interviews with Qincy Jones and Rod Temperton are annoyingly placed between the songs. The album ends on highnote with "Burn This Out".
I liked the music because I had owned the album when I was eighteen and it brought back those memories. Out of all of his albums I found this album was his best. Each song I've have heard on the radio then and even sometimes now. Most albums only have one song to like this has several. I think it is more successful than many of his later albums except for maybe Thriller. The nose jobs followed this album and his ability to allow the music to flow creatively seemed stressed where as this album was all young and new which comes with creative ideal youth which he was at this time in his life. The music captures the genre of the disco era and it's night club energy and atmosphere. It is a cd definitely no matter what style of music you like worth listening too.
my favorite michael jackson album, i like it better than thriller. i said what i said. i didn't realize it was the 'deluxe' cd with interviews with rod temperton and quincy jones. it also included home demos of don't stop til you get enough and working day and night, an added bonus. great purchase for the price. a welcome addition to any collection. if you like michael you won't be sorry you purchased it. this album put him on the path to beome the king of pop.

Without a doubt this is CD is Michael Jackson's at his best. It's hard to believe it's been 30 years,.And still I get pumped when I hear this music. "Off the Wall" Has it all, you will not be disappointed. Good music will never die,.Hell even my 17 year old niece loves this music. Enjoy Michael Jackson at the beginning of his prime,.I believe like so many others that this is the album that Launched Michael Jackson from being a great singer to a superstar.
Though I grew up listening to Michael Jackson, I was just starting to understand him as a musician. I recently ordered all of his music at the beginning of June. In an odd way I knew something was wrong because I said that I better buy all his albums before something happens to him. NOT KNOWING IT WOULD. This album is one of his better ones. The whole CD is great and have been listening to his music for over a month now. I really enjoyed it!!! Heard it when I was younger and wanted to have it for my own. We love you Michael
