Customer Reviews of Destiny
The Jacksons came back with this album! By 1978, things weren't going good for the Jacksons. Their relationship with CBS/Epic Records was in no way as suceesful as they hoped it would be. The Jacksons's last album,Goin Places, had flopped. The Brothers felt that the time had come for them to write and produce a whole album. Epic Records was in fact giong to drop them, but Michael and his Dad, Joe, were able to convince them not to. If Destiny had failed who knows how Michael Jackson's career would have turned out. Well, the brothers proved they could write their own songs. The public seemed to agree since Destiny became the first album by any member of the Jackson family to sell over a million copies. The album is funkier than their last 2 albums( The Jacksons and Goin Places) and it boasted 1 hit single, the hugely popular,"Shake Your Body". "Blame It The Boogie" will put you in such a good mood; its such a happy pop dance song. There are some nice mellow ballad,"Bless His Soul" and "Push Me away". "All Night Dancin'" is a solid funky rocker as is the title track. A Good buy. Get it.
Classic!
The Jacksons really show off on this disc! The writting, the smooth vocals, the all-out jams still ring fresh today in this era of $2 groups/talent. You will not be disappointed!
GREAT
This is the album to get for Jackson fans. Probably the last great album the brothers did together. Everything else after this sounded self-concious, like they knew they had to top this album, or worse..Thriller. It was the first time they were given the freedom to write and produce an entire album. "Blame it on the Boogie" chugs along at nice pace with a chorus that just screams sing along. "Push Me Away" is a lovely ballad, one of their best ever. "Things I Do For You" is another dance floor classic that segues right into "Shake Your Body", 7:59 of pure dance delirium. God that song just made you feel so damn good when you heard it, you just had to dance. It was and still is the most remarkable thing they have ever done. Only "Dancing Machine" comes close. Side 2 is more experimental for them. "Destiny" almost flirts with folk music, with the acoustic guitars..but then the electric guitars come blasting thru..it is reminiscent of the guitars in "I Am Love". Nice song. "Bless His Soul" slows things down to a bit..but the pace picks up with "All Night Dancin"..another nice dance song..but does not top "Shake Your Body". "Thats What You Get For Being Polite" ends the album on a high note. Again, a nice sing along song. Epic really needs to get on board and release a greatest hits and rarities album of the Jacksons. I also remember a Randy Jackson solo single released on Epic around the same time as "Off the Wall" called "How Can I Be Sure" it was backed with a duet with Janet (way before her debut came out) called "Love Song For Kids"..no lie. I no longer have this 45 but rest assured I am kicking myself.
