{"product_id":"33-1-3-michael-jacksons-dangerous","title":"33 1\/3 Volume 100: Michael Jackson's Dangerous","description":"\u003cp\u003eDangerous is Michael Jackson's coming of age album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGranted, that's a bold claim to make given that many think his best work lay behind him by the time this record was made. It offers Jackson on a threshold, at long last embracing adulthood-politically questioning, sexually charged-yet unable to convince a skeptical public who had, by this time, been wholly indoctrinated by a vicious media. Even though the record sold well, few understood or were willing to accept the depth and breadth of Jackson's vision; and then before it could be fully grasped, it was eclipsed by a shifting pop music landscape and personal scandal-the latter perhaps linked to his assertive new politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book tries to cut through the din of dominant narratives about Jackson, taking up the mature, nuanced artistic statement he offered on Dangerous in all its complexity. It is read here as a concept album, one that offers a compelling narrative arc of postmodern angst, love, lust, seduction, betrayal, damnation, and above all else racial politics, in ways heretofore unseen in his music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis record offered a Michael Jackson that was mystifying for a world that had accepted him as a child and as childlike and, hence, as safe; this Michael Jackson was, indeed, dangerous. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/333sound.com\/\"\u003eKeep up with 33 1\/3 series news.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Susan Fast\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168pp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 x 7.75\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 25, 2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 978-1623566319\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50747297726720,"sku":"9781623566319","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0053\/3902\/files\/33mjisdangerous.jpg?v=1792764549","url":"https:\/\/atomicbooks.com\/products\/33-1-3-michael-jacksons-dangerous","provider":"Atomic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
