The album is made up of eight remixes from Jackson's previous studio album HIStory, and five new songs. Jackson was heavily involved with the production of the new material while the remixes were produced by other artists. The new material dealt with themes such as drug addiction, women and paranoia. The album received minimal promotion by Jackson's standards, particularly in the US. Still, a film, two singles ("Blood on the Dance Floor" and "HIStory/Ghosts") and three music videos were issued as promotion. Reviews at the time of release were largely mixed, some critics felt that Jackson had already explored these musical themes while others criticized what they perceived as weak vocals. Other critics were favorable, with praise issued for similarities to the music of Marilyn Manson and Trent Reznor. Worldwide sales stand at six million copies as of 2007, making it the best selling remix album ever released. Several contemporary critics view the material in an increasingly favorable light and believe the album could have been more successful—commentators argue that certain sections of the world took interest in tabloid stories about the singers personal life over his musical career.

Thus, the songs were produced in a variety of countries that included Sweden, Switzerland and Germany.[4][5] The album is made up of eight remixes from HIStory—"Scream Louder", "Money", "2 Bad", "Stranger in Moscow", "This Time Around", "Earth Song", "You Are Not Alone" and "HIStory"—and five new songs—"Blood on the Dance Floor", "Morphine", "Superfly Sister", "Ghosts" and "Is It Scary". Jackson was heavily involved in the writing, composition and production of all five new songs.[6] Todd Terry remixed "Stranger In Moscow", Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis remixed "Scream", and The Fugees worked on the new track "Blood on the Dance Floor" and the remix of "2 Bad". Wyclef Jean, a member of The Fugees, told MTV of his involvement in the production, "We did a first remix for Michael, and he wanted us to do another one". The group spoke of their excitement at receiving a phone call from Jackson.[7] "Morphine" Excerpt of the track "Morphine". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Problems listening to this file? See media help. "Morphine" contained an audio clip from "The Elephant Man", courtesy of Paramount Pictures.[8] On this song, Jackson was the sole arranger, including the classical, vocal and orchestral arrangement. The musician also played solo percussion and drums and joint guitar credit alongside long time collaborator Slash. Andrae Crouch's choir also collaborated on the piece.[8] One of the songs central themes is drug usage, Jackson had just recently overcome a drug addiction that saw his health deteriorate significantly. In the track, he sings, "Trust in me/Just in me/Put all your trust in me/You're doin' morphine...Go on babe/Relax/This won't hurt you/Before I put it in/Close your eyes and count to ten/Don't cry/I won't convert you/There's no need to dismay/Close your eyes and drift away".[9] "Scream Louder" contains elements from "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)", performed by Sly & the Family Stone.[6] "2 Bad" contains a sample of Jackson's 1982 hit "Beat It" as well as a rap by John Forté and guitar solo by Wyclef Jean.[10] [edit] Packaging, release and promotion The 23 page album booklet contains the lyrics to "Blood on the Dance Floor", "Stranger In Moscow" and "HIStory". The eight remixes from HIStory are given additional titles such as "Flyte Tyme Remix" and "Tee's In-House Club Mix". The booklet contains many images from the HIStory World Tour and Ghosts film. Towards the end of the booklet, Jackson pays respect to friends such as Elizabeth Taylor and Elton John, his family, employees and fans.[11] The album was released by Epic Records on May 20, 1997. HIStory on Film, Volume II was released on the same day—a video collection of Jackson's music videos and television performances from the HIStory era of 1995–1997.[12] By Jackson's prior standards, it was not widely promoted upon release.[4][5][7] The New York Times described the US promotional effort as "subdued", creating "hardly a sound" and "perplexing to many people in the industry". Jackson's label Epic Records, refuted allegations they were not promoting the album sufficiently in the US, saying, "We are completely behind the album...Michael is certainly one of our superstars and is treated as such...We just went into this one with our global hats on". The New York Times acknowledged that promotion was stronger internationally, where Jackson had more commercial force and popularity. Jackson effectively no longer needed the US market to have a hit record. By June 1997, only ten percent of sales from Jackson's prior studio album came from within the US.[13] The singer released a film entitled Ghosts, which he unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival, as part of the album promotion. It was released theatrically in the US in October 1996, as for the UK, it debuted at the Odeon Leicester Square in May 1997. The UK event attracted fans, media and business organizations. It was released on cassette in most parts of the world.[4][5][14] The film was written by Jackson and Stephen King and directed by Stan Winston. The story was based loosely on the events and isolation Jackson felt after he was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993. In the plot, the Maestro—played by Jackson—is nearly chased out of his town by the residents and the mayor—who deliberately looks very similar to Tom Sneddon—because they believe him to be a "freak". The film had similar imagery and themes to that of Thriller. It features many special effects and dance moves choreographed to original music, which Jackson himself authored. The film includes several songs and music videos from the albums HIStory and Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix. Ghosts is over thirty-eight minutes long and holds the Guinness World Record as the world's longest music video. It won the Bob Fosse Award for Best Choreography in a Music Video.[5][14][15][16][17] The album was also promoted with the singles "Blood on the Dance Floor" and "HIStory/Ghosts" as well as three corresponding music videos. The video for "Blood on the Dance Floor" premiered on Top of the Pops.[18] It centered around Susie seducing Jackson in a courtship dance, before opening a switchblade. The lead single peaked at number one in several countries, including the UK.[14][19] The double A-side "HIStory/Ghosts" was promoted with a video for each song. "HIStory" was set in a nightclub, in a futuristic era, and recalled Jackson's filmography. "Ghosts" was a five minute clip taken from the much longer film Ghosts. The double A-side would become a top five hit in the UK, but did not chart as highly elsewhere.[14][20] [edit] Commentary Jim Farber of New York Daily News labeled the albums theme, "Predatory women, jealous underlings and the evil media continue to obsess him. He's once again playing victim—the world's most powerless billionaire, it seems—mewling about forces conspiring against his heavenly self". He said of the lead single, "[Jackson] coughs up a series of strangulated mutters and munchkin hiccups in lieu of a vocal, while its chilly, faux-industrial music proves as appealing as a migraine". He contained, "'Ghosts' and 'Is It Scary', boast a few innovative sounds but no real melodies".[21] Thor Christensen of The Dallas Morning News noted the album focused on "angry tales about a coldhearted 'Superfly Sister' or the back-stabbing women in 'Ghosts' and 'Blood on the Dance Floor'. Three of the five new songs on this remix album...involve mean, psychotic ex-lovers". He observed, "The dark, cryptic 'Morphine' is easily one of the most ambitious songs he's ever recorded. He fuels the song with narcotic industrial funk—look out Trent Reznor—but then dilutes it by sticking 90 seconds of goopy, string-laden balladry".[1] Neil Strauss of The New York Times gave the album a positive review, saying the record, "put Mr. Jackson halfway on the road to a very interesting concept album. There is real pain and pathos in these new songs...[he] frets about painkillers, sexual promiscuity and public image. In many of them, Mr. Jackson seems like The Elephant Man, screaming that he is a human being...With beats crashing like metal sheets and synthesizer sounds hissing like pressurized gas, this is industrial funk". He favorably compared Jackson's performance of "Is It Scary" to rock singer Marilyn Manson and noted the lyrics, "If you want to see eccentric oddities, I'll be grotesque before your eyes". Strauss suggested that the predatory woman, "Susie", from the title track, was a metaphor for AIDS. Finally, he described "Morphine" as "chilling... Mr. Jackson sings seductively from the point of view of the drug itself...he intones sweetly". [22] Roger Catlin of The Hartford Courant stated, "The most intriguing pairing is 'Ghosts' and 'Is It Scary' in which he asks those who've only read about him in tabloids if he seems monstrous".[23] The Cincinnati Post described the lead single as a "lackluster first release...dated, played-out dance track", but gave the album an overall favorable analysis. The review described "Ghosts" and "Is this Scary" as "classic Jackson paranoia". The publication also thought that in "Superfly Sister", Jackson took inspiration from Prince.[24] Anthony Violanti of The Buffalo News said of the lead single, "[it is] laced with Teddy Riley's new jack swing sound and a pounding techno beat". Violanti added, "'Superfly Sister', 'Ghosts' and 'Is It Scary' are programmed plastic soul that makes you wonder how someone as talented as Jackson can churn out such tracks". He said of "Morphine", "[it] has more synthesized beats and quickly fades into Jackson's current indistinguishable style".[2] William Ruhlman of Allmusic said of the lead track, "'Blood on the Dance Floor' is an uptempo Jackson song in the increasingly hysterical tradition of 'Billie Jean' and 'Smooth Criminal' with Jackson huffing, puffing, and yelping through some nonsense about a stabbing...over a fairly generic electronic dance track".[25] Stephen Thomas Erlewine, also of Allmusic, had a negative reaction to the record. He said that all five new tracks were, "embarrassingly weak, sounding tired, predictable and, well, bloodless". He described "Blood on the Dance Floor" as a "bleak reworking of 'Jam' and 'Scream'".[26] Chris Dickinson of St. Louis Post-Dispatch, noted, "'Superfly Sister' comes on like a classic Michael dance track, with Michael and Bryan Loren playing all the instruments...Blood On the Dance Floor [album] is definitely a dance record. It's not Thriller or Bad or even Off the Wall and it's not trying to be".[27] Jae-Ha Kim of Chicago Sun-Times, noted, "'Is It Scary' shows a darker side of Jackson than even the tabloids would have you believe...With the hypnotic 'Morphine', he sounds like a seductive cousin of Trent Reznor's".[28] Sonia Murray of The Atlanta Journal and The Atlanta Constitution gave the album a D grade. She claimed that, "'Ghosts' pounds with funk until Jackson's weak vocals come in". She described "Morphine" as an "overblown rock hiss".[3] The Virginian-Pilot gave the album a positive review, the publication expressed the opinion that, "Morphine" sounded "eerily like 'State of Shock'", and continued, "'Scream Louder' a remix of his hit duet with sister Janet, is better than the original only because it takes away the overpowering guitar twangs".[29] The Washington Post described "Superfly Sister" as "sex funk", adding, "'Morphine' apparently told from the drug's point of view and featuring both the Andrae Crouch Singers and an orchestra, alternates between hard-edged rock and operatic pop".[30] [edit] Commercial reception Initial sales in the US were seen as disappointing for Jackson. It peaked at number 24 on the Billboard 200 chart and after four weeks the record had sold 92,000 copies. Despite this, long term sales were stronger, it was certified platinum in May 2000, for shipments of at least a million units.[31] It was certified Gold in Canada for a minimum of 50,000 shipments.[32] In Europe the record has been certified for shipments of at least two million copies.[33] Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix debuted atop the UK album chart, by July 1997 it had sold 250,000 units in the UK and 445,000 units in Germany.[5][13] The album also peaked at number one in France, Belgium, Spain and New Zealand.[13][34] Worldwide sales stand at six million copies as of 2007, making it the best selling remix album ever released.[35] [edit] Contemporary view A long time commentator on Jackson's public life, J. Randy Taraborrelli, gave a retrospective analysis of the album in the biography, The Magic & the Madness. Taraborrelli explained, "Michael's 1997 album contained...kick-ass dance remixes...Several of the other songs on Blood are also memorable. 'Ghosts' stands out, perhaps because it's so evocative of Michael's spell-binding Ghosts long-styled video...it's classic, must-see Michael Jackson...The collection was not a success in America [US]; it was dismissed by critics and much of his audience, who seemed confused as to whether it was a new release or some kind of hybrid combination of songs". He expressed the opinion that the project was a "major hit" in the UK. Tabarorrelli said that "Blood on the Dance Floor" was one of Jackson's best songs, a song that US fans "don't even know exists". The reporter concluded that the US public were more interested in the controversial tabloid stories about his personal life.[15] William Ruhlman of Allmusic, agreed that part of the blame for a perceived commercial disappointment in the US, could be attributed to the ongoing public interest in the singers private life. None the less, Ruhlman still felt the album was artistically disappointing.[25] In 2005, J T Griffith, of Allmusic, believed that in hindsight, "Blood on the Dance Floor" was actually a good song. He explained, "[it is] a second-rate mixture of 'Beat It' and 'Thriller' but Jackson's missteps are better than most pop music out there. This track showcases all the artist's trademarks: the ooohing, the grunts, and funky basslines. It is hard to hear 'Blood on the Dance Floor' and not want to moonwalk or dance like a ghoul".[36] [edit] Charts Chart Peak position Austria 2 [34] Australia 2 [34] Belgium (Vl) 1 [34] Belgium (Wa) 2 [34] Finland 3 [34] France 1 [34] New Zealand 1 [34] Norway 2 [34] Sweden 4 [34] Switzerland 2 [34] UK 1 [5] US 24 [31] [edit] Certifications Country Certification Sales Canada Gold 50,000 [37] Germany Gold 250,000 [38] Spain Platinum 80,000 [39] Switzerland Platinum 50,000 [40] [edit] Track listing # Title Writer(s) Length 1.
