Off The Wall (studio album) by Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson's vocals are incredible. He was at the top of his game on this album, delivering some of his most iconic performances. The songs are all great. There's not a single filler track on the album.

This record is so much fun and is so smooth to listen to. This is primarily due to the production which is outstanding on this release. It sounds fantastic even to this day and is such a seamless listen. The instrumentation is creative and diverse as well and help to make the style Jackson is going for. Jackson himself is sensational on this album as well with some stand out performances on Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, Off The Wall, Rock With You and Workin' Day And Night. He also shows his softer more delicate side on She's Out Of My Life which is a glimpse into the range of music he can create. His vocal is just outstanding and he displays its quality all across the release. However, it can be inconsistent at times and I do find it doesn't have as many elite level tracks as his other two huge releases. Overall, there is a lot of fun to be had on this record as it has great songs and some infectious music that makes it so enjoyable to experience.

Favorite MJ album. Absolutely amazing

The first half of this record is great funky pop which showcases Michael's potential, but the whole album is inconsistent.

Doesn't hit the heights of Thriller or Bad for me, but still some nice dance tracks. My favourites are Don't Stop Til You Get Enough, Off the Wall and Can't Help It.

My favorite MJ album, Just so special and original. In 1979 this was the best album for a DJ:s night

Easily MJ's best album.

Hands down one of my favourite of Michael Jackson albums. The album is fire and magical. Very black and groovy, really MJ was happy doing this album like Thriller. From the black groovy song Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough to the slow song She’s Out Of My Life. Off The Wall needs more love because really it’s underrated in the MJ fandom. It’s a groovy kind of album perfect for a Disco or party unlike his later albums mainly History and Invincible doesn’t have dance songs or groovy songs not even Scream or 2Bad or You Rock My World count. The songs are fire, the videos are amazing, She’s Out Of My Life filmed on one take, Rock With You and the sparkly outfit and Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough and the dancing. Very iconic album one of his best musically along with Thriller.


Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough is a iconic tune. Very black disco song, perfect for a party and disco and the video was fire. Never will I get tired of the song or video ever. Iconic tune 10/10

Rock With You is another iconic song. The song has a nice feeling and you could feel how happy he was and it’s so groovy. A classic R&B/Disco song, perfect for a party and the video is fire, with a little dancing, outfit and singing. 10/10

Workin Day N Night is a banger. That tune has a groovy beat in it, and you could tell he had a lot of fun doing his song, very classic never aged. 10/10

Get On The Floor a cool song. Even though I haven’t listen to it that much it’s catchy and worth to listen to it. Nice tune and the best is amazing. 8/10

Off The Wall another iconic song. The song is fun, fun to sing to, fun to dance to. This song has a nice R&B/Disco vibe to it. 10/10

She’s Out Of My Life is classic. It’s so underrated it needs love. The video is always left off when it comes to Michael Jackson videos, it’s amazing, filmed in one take, the Curl and jumper with the purple shirt in it is iconic. Looks like a gentleman, he was, so yeah. The song is a nice Soul song, he put his heart out to it even though he was sad when he sang it. 10/10

Girlfriend iconic one. The song has a nice R&B/Soul feeling, he sounds so happy, it’s just a banger. Needs more love cause that song is amazing. Wonderful and soulful. 9/10

I Cant Help It is a classic tune. Timeless tune, nice R&B/Soul vibe, never gets old this song needs more love. Looks like he had fun doing. He seems very happy in this album as well as he was in Thriller which he hardly was in his later albums. People need to give this song more love and appreciation, it’s a masterpiece.10/10

It’s The Fallin In Love classic one. This song is catchy although I didn’t listen to it for a while, it’s worth to sing it also to dance along to it. 9/10

Burn This Disco Out is amazing. Groovy tune, worth to dance to and got a Disco vibe to it, it’s so awesome for a party, you all need to give this song more love, he sounds so happy in it, very black R&B. 9/10
