Description

I originally bought this LP about about 13 or so years ago, mainly because I heard the song "Torture" at my friends house and liked what I heard! It also had the added bonus of a duet song with Mick Jagger ("State Of Shock") so I thought I should check it out. When I first got it I wasn't too impressed to tell the truth, mainly because I found it hard to adjust to the vocal styles of the other Jacksons. However it didn't take long before all that changed. "Wait" co-produced by Jeff Porcaro and David Paich (Of TOTO fame) is a typical 80's rock track with a catchy beat graced with ad-libsmore… by Michael at the end. "One More Chance" is a beautiful ballad sung in an appropriately delicate vocal style by Randy. "State Of Shock" (feat. Mick Jagger) is a simple yet superb track which has the distinction of being the track on the album that you always manage to hear something new on! "The Hurt" Co-written by Michael and Randy is another strong track with a good instrumental arrangement, Randy's falsetto is excellent, steady and spine-tingling, as are the harmonies at the the end of the song, definitely one of the group highlights of the album. The closing track on the album is "Body" sung by Marlon. This song has a great guitar hook that belies Marlon's ordinary vocal style (shame about the video! )The album does have its setbacks, "We Can Change The World" (Tito's Track) is, although very meaningful, highly forgettable. The same can be said for the awful "Be Not Always" (Michael's only solo composition on the album). The first verse of which seems like an exercise to see how many times the word "always" can be repeated without the listener going nuts! I can't help but thinking that if these weak tracks were replaced by the electrifying Jermaine & Michael duet "Tell Me I'm Not Dreamin'", Jermaine's "Dynamite" and "Do What You Do" (which all appeared on Jermaine's eponymous Arista LP released that same year (1984)) Then this album would be 10 times better that it already is! However when all is said and done "VICTORY" is on the whole an unforgettable and solid effort by the worlds greatest ever R&B/Pop act...BUY IT!
