Hi there,
I am sure this may have been discussed before but I would have very little recollection of it, and recent events brings this to mind.
With the release of Michael, I have been reading many reviews of the work completed on it. I certainly believe it has faults, and I have never been one to just award a good sounding track 10/10. I try to get a whole picture of what people think, to get a full pictures of the positves and negatives.
Reading through most professional reviews, most critics are just scathing of Michael's music since BAD, the music with no Quincy involvement.
Some people think the new album is better than the "awful" Invincible, which I love.
I generally feel that most critics just jump on the bash MJ bandwaggon as a force of habit, without giving much serious thought th his music, so normally, I go to the normal people, you and me, who review, on the likes on Amazon, who seen to be somewhat better and not so serious.
I straight away, set a reviews filter to one star reviews and read through them. I am of a firm belief, that nothing deserves a one star review, unless it is the worst thing to hit the history of humanity, even bad things may have some good points.
Alot of one star reviewers are silly and also just spread hate on MJ. My question relates to the reviewers that seen to talk about the musical content.
I am not a musician, I know nothing about music except for my own ability to like and enjoy music, so it always interesting to see some reviewers pick apart songs piece by piece, and point out some content of songs, that they think are just awful, and make for awful music. I have seen critism of the "harmonic melody" of his music for example, and alot of stick about his vocal capability.
Since I know very little about all this, does anyone with this knowledge, understand these critisms? I was wondering are they fair, true, or just opinions? So what I am asking is, does anybody here know alot about why Michael's music is received so poorly by some, and could they elaborate on why?
Thanks very much.
