Reviews"With Jackson still intent on pushing the limits, from the pulsating title track to 'Man In The Mirror''s baroque gospel finale....Compelling...', "With the classic pop hit 'The Way You Make Me Feel' and perhaps the most emotional track of his career 'Man in the Mirror,' about looking to yourself for improvement and making positive changes from within."
Additional InformationWhile the ultimate "follow-up" record couldn't possibly match THRILLER, MJ's 1987 record is a remarkably deep pop record.
