    Album Revolution #4:

    This is where everything changed and not all good in my opinion....

    First, think about it, this is after the "Michael Jackson" takeover with one of the best albums EVER in "Thriller", so it seems like "Michael" was coaxed into doing "Victory"....Second, after reading the liner notes of the album, I realized that instead of the album being Produced collectively, they Produced these songs individually...It was ok though, because it is still a classic album, and It did have the return of "Jermaine" to the group, without "Randy" having to leave.......

    "State Of Shock", the first single, featuring "Mick Jagger" from "The Rolling Stones", was ok, but it was more of a "Michael" record than a "Jacksons" song....

    "Torture", the 1st Crown Jewel, was much better to me....Even though it was produced by "Jackie", it sounded more "Jacksons"....It also had the classic trade off vocals between "Jermaine" and "Michael"....That was very smart, because, even though he wasn't more popular than "Michael", "Jermaine" had a very successful solo career, and at this point he was extremely popular as well.....

    "Be Not Always" had "Michael" giving one of his usual emotional vocal performances....

    The 2nd Crown Jewel, "Body", finally gives "Marlon" the vocal standout performance I'm sure he craved...It also set up a chance for him to get a record deal down the line....

    The Super Crown Jewel, and my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE on the album is "One More Chance", Produced and Performed by "Randy"....Man!!! That song right there was his crowning achievement, even to the point that Baby Sister "Janet" remade it years later....

    This would end the Album Revolution, but to me, and more importantly, the demise of the group with "Michael" leaving to continue to conquer the Music world....Whatever the effect though, no matter what, the legacy of "The Jacksons" is sealed!!!!!!
