Songs That Sucked After Re-listening
Why Some Songs Sound Worse After Re-Listening
Songs can seem disappointing after revisiting them due to changing musical tastes or overexposure. What once felt like a hit might reveal flaws or outdated production. Re-listening can highlight aspects you didn't notice initially, leading to a different perception of the track's quality.
I'm thinkng most of MJ's album BAD falls into that category. You could say the album's tite was very relevant.

WHOOOOOOOAAAA what? I've never heard anyone say that about Bad, given how well liked "Bad", "Smooth Criminal", "Dirty Diana", "Man In The Mirror", & "The Way You Make Me Feel" was with "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" and "Another Part of Me" being minor hits. Was it the change from that Jackson 5/Motown sound to pop rock that didn't do it for you?

precisely. No one (me included) ever dared question the musicality of MJ because he was such a big star, and the music style was new and kinda difficult to read. But looking back, I think most of MJ's post-thriller music isn't that great.
It's not because of the change, I am ready to accept change when it's good.

Makes sense and I can agree to a certain extent in terms of his best songs being before Thriller, although one of my Top 5 faves was in the 90s. I think Teddy Riley co-producing & co-writing had a lot to do with it.

I agree, some songs were exceptionally good

Have you ever re-listened to a song years later & realized how bad it was?
That hook is so tone deaf, they had to bring in Busta to save the track.
"This was the jam back in the day though!" Yeah, but those vocals are shite, c'mon now.
