Dancing Machine

The Jackson 5 put more effort in on this LP, and while it isn't perfect by any means, it is certainly an improvement from the last two albums. With this project, you can tell that the Jackson 5 had more passion put in to this one than their last two, as the group doesn't sound bored with their own sound anymore here. While the album doesn't start off strong (though I Am Love and She's A Rhythm Child were pretty good), it has a really strong back end led by It All Begins And Ends With Love. This album does have its duds though, with the front half of the record being very hit or miss. Regardless, it's nice to see somewhat of a return to form for the group after they've struggled for a little bit, and I can only hope that they continue this on their last LP. Overall, this was a decent album that Jackson 5 fans may want to check out, but casual music fans should probably just listen to the songs mentioned above if they don't want to listen to the entire project.
