HIStory's 2 CDs (one hits, the other new) were Jackson's attempt to connect his glorious past to a dodgy present and--given it's commercial and artistic performance--cast a shadow on his future. Conceived as his formal coronation as the "King of Pop," HIStory's second disc instead presents Jackson as an epauletted, single-gloved Richard III. By turns paranoid, angry, bitter, sentimental, and, in one instance, possibly anti-Semitic, HIStory was less a collection of songs than a case history. A few tracks--mostly those produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis--are sleek, modern pop/soul, but too much of HIStory has the overblown vacuousness of a musician who knows his time is past, but is unsure as to how to react to the situation. --Steven Mirkin

Summary: Underrated 2010-01-24
Comment: I've liked this CD, but mostly for the second one, and the 5 cuts from "Blood on the Dance Floor", that were left off, even though all of those songs would've and should've been on here. It makes me wonder why he didn't just put out a 2 CD set of all new music at the time and had released a 2 CD set of the hits a year or two later.
The songs are more intense than fun. Supposedly Jackson had been listening to NIN's "The Downward Spiral" around the time he recorded the "new" songs. I think there's a couple of songs you might be able to hear it (Scream, They Don't Care About Us).
But the only weak point to me is covering "Come Together", any of those 5 songs on "Blood" would've been better picks.
