History is so well put together The Gates of Kiev introduction, the snippets of world history being retold (including baby Mike's moments), the seemless transition into that boot-stomping verse followed by a triumphant sounding chorus, right back into a bit of actual history, then repeat it until it grows to a point where it sounds like the whole world is singing it  and finish it off with important moments in history, again, but this time specifically presenting great achievements. Ghandi's speech, the first audio every recorded, JFK's "we choose to go to the moon" speech, and the first words ever said on the moon to close out the entire album. I think it's a great closer for that reason. The whole album shows MJ's insecurities, his paranoia, his anger, and the garbage being flung around the world in human society and an over arching theme you're left with at the very end of hearing this album from beginning to end is "we're capable of such great feats of engineering, ingenuity, cooperation, and beauty so why do we spend so much time hating and hurting one another and the world around us? What's the point?" Dangerous might be my favorite and Thriller might be the best selling album of all time but I truly believe HIStory is his greatest work. Possibly one of the greatest bodies of work ever produced by anyone just because of how raw and intelligent it all is. You're stinky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that I totally respect the intention of the song and will bop to it if itâs on! But personally, I think the sections feel too disjointed for me to fully settle into it đ«ąđ  Where is it Candy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
