The best pop album there is, in my opinion. It falters towards the end, but the first seven songs are classic. Yes, even "The Girl Is Mine", I loved that one when I was a kid. Smile "Billie Jean" and "Wanna Be Startin' Something" are my current favourites.

This is an album I am ashamed to admit I do not have in my collection. I heard it when I was "exploring" music of different kinds when I was younger - maybe 13. I remember being very impressed.

MJ was really an incredible entertainer and performer. It stills get me pumped to hear the greatness of "Beat It". It is perhaps overplayed, dated, corny, but at the same time it's really when all is said and done just a really impressive pop song to mix hard rock/metal with dance pop! It's a truly miraculously great record. And that can be said for the rest of this record. It's been 10 years, so I'll have to revisit it.

As of now I say Off The Wall is better than Thriller or Bad. But again I need to relisten.

Some good tracks, especially Billie Jean, but I think it's a bit overrated.

Good songs ! Well recorded ! I mean, the beat is here, you feel the rhythm through your body ! The melodies are amazing too ! I once listened it in the morning on Vinyl, I was tired but I couldn't keep my self from dancing ! And McCartney is on the record !
A great record !
