HIStory‘s 2 CDs (one hits, the other new) were Jackson’s try to connect his glorious past to a dodgy present and–given it is commercial and artistic performance–cast a shadow on his future. Conceived as his formal coronation as the “King of Pop,” HIStory‘s second disc as an alternative presents Jackson as an epauletted, single-gloved Richard III. By turns paranoid, indignant, bitter, sentimental, and, in one instance, most likely anti-Semitic, HIStory used to be less a number of songs than a case history. A couple of tracks–mostly those produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis–are sleek, brand new 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 tips on how to react to the situation. –Steven Mirkin
