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. 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'). For one thing, the material just isn't as good. He wound up with a sleeker, slicker Thriller, which isn't a bad thing, but it's not a rousing success, either. 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. It does not store any personal data.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.
