Amazon.co.uk Review
Given the pace of Michael Jackson's post-Thriller release schedule, it's striking that Off the Wall appeared between two albums--Destiny (1978) and Triumph (1980)--which the twentysomething phenomenon made with his brothers. Aided by richly detailed but not overdone production, Off the Wall defined how much Michael might do. Tracks such as "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough", "Rock with You", "Burn this Disco Out" and the title track not only consolidated his dancefloor power, but showed just how soulful and varied his vocals could get on up-tempo material. Artistic role models such as James Brown and Jackie Wilson echo through the mixes, but these were Jackson's leaps forward. The addition of pure pop confection--Paul McCartney's "Girlfriend", Stevie Wonder's "I Can't Help It"--further fleshed out the star's young-adult persona and helped make Off the Wall among the most fondly remembered of all his solo work. This "special edition" features two magic home demos and entertaining, insightful interviews with producer Quincy Jones and "Rock with You" composer Rod Temperton. --Rickey Wright

Michael Jackson is a phenomonal artist, and in 1979, you liked him, but in 1982...
Fantastic! May 8, 2008
This album is incredible! All the songs are great , especially Don't Stop Til You Get Enough, Get On The Floor and She's Out Of My Life.
Michael is an amazing artist who can lend his hand to any type of song. I urge everybody to by this album, along with Thriller , Bad, Dangerous,Invincible and The Jacksons albums. Michael is the greatest artist who ever lived. Period.
Off the wall with feet on the floor May 7, 2008
What I say is applicable to all Michael Jackson's work - if you have ever questioned this man, just listen to his music, he is genius. I defy anyone to sit still and not get up and dance, for your very soul not to be moved. I've followed him since he was 11, I'm 6 months older than him. He is simply the best and many are jealous of that. Try to appreciate rather than pull the man apart for being so great. Thanks Michael for the hundreds of hours of pleasure you have given me.

I've like MJ's music for a while but never really got into his stuff. I listened to Bad and Thriller which are both good albums but "Off The Wall" is simply wicked! This album is definitely in my top 10 favourites.
A stunning, timeless album. A must-buy. May 30, 2007

Have to agree with the previous reviewer - this rivals the magnificent Thriller, and in places, surpasses it. The introduction, MJ's spoken voiceover, to Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, (The force... it's got a lot of power..")is spine tingling. No music lover should be without this album; it provided a template for decades of (others') music to come, in my opinion. The various croonings, the backing vocals and Michael's "Oohs" are sexy too! The music presents the perfect balance of light, funky and seductive.
The contribution by British songwriter Rod Temperton must not be overlooked either. The sultrily sung 'Rock With You', the joyous 'Off the Wall' and the quirky 'Burn This Disco Out', were all penned by this man who went on to write the track 'Thriller'. Neither must the fanatstic percussive elements that are the hallmark of this album.
The Paul Mcartney penned 'Girlfriend' really suits Jackson's voice and youth at this time while She's Out of My Life has become his very own 'My Way. 'I Can't Help It', written by Stevie Wonder, is a delicate jazzy number that showcases Jackson's voice superbly. This album won only one Grammy at the time (for best r n b vocal, I think) but its worth has stood the test of time and become a favourite with music critics.
I can't recommend this album strongly enough. I'm passionate about it!
