Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential recording:
Picking up where the breakthrough funk-pop of Control left off, Janet Jackson and her production team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis laced Rhythm Nation with high-minded references to societal ills--seldom the favored province of dance music, but a daring attempt nonetheless. Songs like 'State of the World' and 'The Knowledge' follow in the tradition of 'free your mind and your ass will follow.' Still, aside from the title track, it was the pure pop fare and dance music that stormed the charts: 'Escapade,' 'Love Will Never Do (Without You),' 'Alright,' and 'Come Back to Me' concentrate on the politics of personal relationships, not public policy, while 'Black Cat' burns the place down with a fierce burst of hard rock. Rhythm Nation 1814 doesn't necessarily hang together thematically, but it's so chock full of hits, you scarcely notice. --Daniel Durchholz

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - JJ'S BEST ALBUM
THIS ALBUM WAS WHEN JANET WAS ON TOP OF HER GAME. SHE WAS DANCING AND SINGING. ALL HER SONGS WEREN'T SEXUAL.
THIS IS JUST A GREAT ALBUM.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Simply Ageless : 20 Years Later, and Still as Vital
I don't know what Janet Jackson was on in 1989, but I'd suggest she get back on it. I recently purchased this album yet AGAIN on CD about two weeks ago, and while I knew all the tunes, it also really surprised me. Despite being of the same pop-funk genre that Paula Abdul so heartily embraced in the early 1990s, the songs here are just TIMELESS. How could Janet use the same old instruments everyone else did, but still craft songs that could stand the test of time? I don't know, but one things for ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Ahhhhh!
This album is still the best. Still putting a smile on my face making my head bop and my feet tap under my desk. Classic.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - "Rhythm Nation 1814"-A State of Perfection
If her 1986 mega hit "Control" wasn't enough to show that Janet Jackson was a great artist, then 1989's "Rhythm Nation 1814" would show that Janet Jackson was an artist beyond her time! One of her strongest and most impressive efforts, "Rhythm Nation 1814" takes the concept of world issues like poverty, prejudice, and homicide and mixes in some of the best pop music ever created to create on of the best albums of all time! I'm serious! "Rhythm Nation 1814" is a very bold album as well as it shows ... Read More
