Two CD Set 1979-95 History by Michael Jackson w/Collectible Pics Booklet, Bk 1

Description: CD reviews from Michelle T last 3/2006,,,HIStory is aptly named as it gives you a "history" of his music to date with a greatest hits collection on disk one and then gives you "HIS story" on disc two. Disk two is definitely my favorite MJ album. You get the sense that it was written largely as an outlet of emotions that Michael felt after going through the allegations of 93/94. The album has an angrier tone than his others, and you get the sense that you know him a bit by the end. 1. Scream: the album starts with a duet between Michael and his sister Janet. It's obviously a push by the record company to cash in on the superstardom of these two, and as a result it's a little overproduced and noisy. But the message is true to the tone of the album and lyrics like "Tired of injustice; Tired of the schemes; The lies are disgusting,,,, 3. Stranger in Moscow: Quite possibly Michael's best song EVER. The song is melancholy and shows the sadness he felt after the allegations, "Swift and sudden fall from grace/ sunny days seemed far away". Michael has said that he wrote the song in a hotel room in Moscow, while listening to the screams of fans below, but realizing that he was completely alone: thus "how does it feel when you're alone,and it's cold inside?" it feels like a "stanger in moscow". This (or earth song) is probably my favorite MJ song of all time. ----- From Elizabeth Taylor in about 1995 on MJ,,,"What is a Genius, what is a Legend, what is a Megastar? Michael Jackson, that's all. And just when you think you know him, he gives you more." On the CDs backside in Michael's word, "Dedicated to all my children of the world, the healthy, the sick and the dying, I love you dearly,,,Love MJ." Book 1 CD set includes 15 songs on each x two discs. The case, jacket, and discs are in very good condition.
