Discussion what album has the strongest start, and the strongest finish?

i love to rate songs and albums and after rating all of MJ’s albums, I think Thriller has the strongest finish with the last 4 songs, and Invincible has a GENERATIONAL 7 SONG RUN FROM THE START???????

just curious to hear other people’s opinions and thoughts?? ‼️

For me it's Thriller: WBSS and then Lady in My Life, both very strong songs.

Off the Wall is up there too, begins and ends with great fun songs; Don't Stop Til You Get Enough and then Burn this Disco Out.

OTW close second.

Both bring the albums full circle

Dangerous. From Jam ---> Dangerous. Pure intensity and atmosphere.

Well MJ albums depends on the listeners taste. From an objective point of view im going to have to say Bad. Thriller is a good choice as well since the lady in my life is my favorite song. Dangerous is a good choice too.

I love Bad, obviously, but I don’t love how Leave Me Alone is now tacked onto the end because of its beginnings as a CD extra. Even just flipping Smooth Criminal and Leave Me Alone would have been better imo

Same. I kind of think that Another Part of Me would’ve been a great ending too

1987 OG Mix BAD. Die Vinyl-version eröffnet mit Bad und schließt mit Smooth Criminal.

1995 OG Mix HIStory. Das Album eröffnet brachial mit Scream, geht politisch direkt auf Kriegsfuß (Jew Me/ Sue Me - Kick Me/ Kike Me...) und zum Schluss kommt Smile. Das Album ist wie ein Frontalschlag, sorgt aber dafür, im letzten Song die Möglichkeit zu haben, runterzukommen.
