Michael Jackson: All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Track by François Allard, Richard Lecocq

4.0

This book is nothing short of incredible. Treat it more as a reference book though, as it can be a hard slog to read from start to finish.

The authors have a habit, however, of injecting their own opinion on the music. Some songs are not even discussed. Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix (1997) was given short shrift, all because the authors disapproved of the remixes. As a curator of knowledge of the music, it was incredibly insulting that this should happen.

That said, the majority of fanmade books are inherently opinionated. This is just another example of that.
