A lot of people love Off The Wall.
With Bad, even with the hits, the great videos, and the tour (his best), folks always say it's a weak album. The main complaint is that it's "too polished" or too pop. It had the unfortunate job of following up Thriller which isn't an easy feat, not to mention the media backlash against him (that Rolling Stone 1987 readers poll had to feel like a slap in the face LOL)
