Michael Jackson在Thriller之后，趁热打铁，推出了这张商业上非常成功的专辑，不但风靡全美，还成功反攻英伦，成为英国音乐史上总销量第二的唱片，仅次于 Beatles的Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band。专辑共11首歌（MJ当年本来是打算发行双LP，共30首歌的专辑，但Qunincy Jones砍到了11首，CD版甚至只有十首歌），有9首都是英美热门打榜单曲，其中I Just Can't Stop Loving You等5首歌曲都先后成为英美冠军单曲，实在是强悍。
然而，尽管单曲都很成功，这张专辑却没有取得Thriller那样好的销量（在美国“只”卖了600万张），有批评者认为，从这张专辑开始，MJ的冲击力和感染力已经开始减弱了，这也是制作人Quincy Jones为MJ制作的最后一张专辑。
本专辑在滚石杂志评出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第202位。
====================================
Bad is the seventh studio album by American recording artist Michael Jackson. The album was released on August 31, 1987 by Epic Records, nearly five years after Jackson's previous studio album, Thriller, which went on to become the world's best-selling album. Bad itself has sold around 30 million copies worldwide, shipped 9 million units in the United States alone, and has been cited as one of the 20 best-selling albums of all time. The album produced five Hot 100 number ones, the first album to do so. Similar to Jackson's previous music material, the album's music features elements of R&B, pop and rock.
Bad was recorded during the first half of 1987. The lyrical themes on the record relate to paranoia, romance and self-improvement. Bad is widely regarded as having cemented Jackson's status as one of the most successful artists of the 1980s, as well as enhancing his solo career and being one of the best musical projects of his career. Nine of the eleven songs on Bad were released as singles; one was a promotional single and another was released outside of the United States and Canada. Five of the singles hit number one in the United States, while a sixth charted within the top-ten, and a seventh charted within the top-twenty on the Hot 100. The single that was released outside of the United States and Canada was commercially successful, charting within the top ten and top twenty in multiple territories. Bad peaked at number one in seven countries, as well as charting within the top twenty in other territories. The only song on the album which wasn't released as a single nor had a music video for was &Just Good Friends&.
Bad saw Jackson exercise even more artistic freedom than he did with his two previous Epic releases (Off the Wall and Thriller). On Bad, Jackson composed nine of the album's eleven tracks and received co-producer credit for the entire album. The album continued Jackson's commercial success in the late 1980s and garnered six Grammy Award nominations, winning two. Aside from commercial success the album also received critical acclaim from contemporary critics. Bad was ranked number 43 in the 100 Greatest Albums of All Time of the MTV Generation in 2009 by VH1 and number 202 in Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The album marked the final collaboration between Jackson and producer Quincy Jones. In addition, Jackson scored five number ones from Bad, making him the first artist in the chart's history to amass five number-one singles from one album.

The downside to a success like Thriller is that it's nearly impossible to follow, but Michael Jackson approached Bad much the same way he approached Thriller -- take the basic formula of the predecessor, expand it slightly, and move it outward. This meant that he moved deeper into hard rock, deeper into schmaltzy adult contemporary, deeper into hard dance -- essentially taking each portion of Thriller to an extreme, while increasing the quotient of immaculate studiocraft. He wound up with a sleeker, slicker Thriller, which isn't a bad thing, but it's not a rousing success, either. For one thing, the material just isn't as good. Look at the singles: only three can stand alongside album tracks from its predecessor (&Bad,& &The Way You Make Me Feel,& &I Just Can't Stop Loving You&), another is simply OK (&Smooth Criminal&), with the other two showcasing Jackson at his worst (the saccharine &Man in the Mirror,& the misogynistic &Dirty Diana&). Then, there are the album tracks themselves, something that virtually didn't exist on Thriller but bog down Bad not just because they're bad, but because they reveal that Jackson's state of the art is not hip. And they constitute a near-fatal dead spot on the record -- songs three through six, from &Speed Demon& to &Another Part of Me,& a sequence that's utterly faceless, lacking memorable hooks and melodies, even when Stevie Wonder steps in for &Just Good Friends,& relying on nothing but studiocraft. Part of the joy of Off the Wall and Thriller was that craft was enhanced with tremendous songs, performances, and fresh, vivacious beats. For this dreadful stretch, everything is mechanical, and while the album rebounds with songs that prove mechanical can be tolerable if delivered with hooks and panache, it still makes Bad feel like an artifact of its time instead a piece of music that transcends it. And if that wasn't evident proof that Jackson was losing touch, consider this -- the best song on the album is &Leave Me Alone& (why are all of his best songs paranoid anthems?), a tune tacked on to the end of the CD and never released as a single, apart from a weirdly claustrophobic video that, not coincidentally, was the best video from the album.

- @拾壹哥：87年出的歌，比现在那些垃圾歌好听万倍。 上初中时，曾天天听此盘卡带。
- @blackflag：初中时买的磁带，感觉节奏太兴奋，又有一种超越时代的新奇感。因为封面形象太美，一个同学跟我争得脸红脖子粗，非说M J是女的！
- @chillgameing：虾米的这张才是原始版本。I just can't stop loving you 前面有独白；smooth criminal 的音色是脆响的；the way you make me feel 结尾没有Michael 的唱词。
