Michael Jackson - HIStory

If anything, this album is proof that Michael Jackson didn’t’ have confidence in his work.  One disk is Michael Jackson’s greatest hits (universally good), the other is full of new material.  You have to be desperate to put a collection of your greatest hits as an incentive for people to hear your new songs. I wonder how many people ever listened to the other disc?  Anyway, it got to number 1, so in terms of marketing it was a genius move.  What of the new songs?  They’re OK.  Nothing more.  Nothing less.  They’re not embarrassing, but 25 years later is anyone still playing them?
