Dangerous (с англ. — «Опасный») — восьмой студийный альбом американского автора-исполнителя Майкла Джексона. Был выпущен на лейбле Epic Records 26 ноября 1991 года. Критики отмечали широкую жанровую палитру пластинки, в которую входят: нью-джек-свинг, фанк, индастриал, современный ритм-н-блюз, госпел, поп-рок и хард-рок.
   Создавая альбом, Джексон сам выступал в качестве его исполнительного продюсера, сотрудничая с Тедди Райли (англ.)русск. и Биллом Боттреллом. Певец принимал непосредственное участие в создании каждой из 14-ти песен в качестве автора, продюсера или сопродюсера. Зимой 1991 года Dangerous дебютировал на вершинах хит-парадов США и Великобритании. В течение двух лет из него было выпущено 9 синглов и видеоклипов к ним, ролики вошли в видеосборник Dangerous – The Short Films. Наиболее успешными в мире стали синглы «Black or White» и «Remember the Time», в странах Европы успеха также добились «Heal the World», «Will You Be There» и «Give in to Me». Мировые продажи пластинки составляют от 32 до 40 млн экземпляров, она считается самым продаваемым альбомом Джексона после Thriller. В 1992 году Dangerous был отмечен одной статуэткой «Грэмми».
   Летом 1992 года стартовал второй сольный мировой тур Майкла Джексона — Dangerous World Tour. В рамках второй половины турне осенью 1993 года певец дал свой первый концерт в России. Всего музыкант дал 69 концертов для 3,5 млн зрителей, все доходы артист отправлял на благотворительность.
   В 2001 году оригинальный альбом был переиздан под названием Dangerous: Special Edition.
Сегодня авторитетными музыкальными изданиями и критиками альбом признается одним из самых великих, влиятельных, значительных и в в тоже время недооцененных полноформатников в истории популярной музыки.

Ремастированное переиздание великого альбома на компакт-диске в стандартной пластиковой упаковке (Jewel Case) с буклетом.  

   Обложка пластинки представляет собой картину, написанную художником поп-сюрреалистом Марком Райденом при участии Джексона. Полотно выполнено акриловыми красками, на его создание у художника ушло 6 месяцев. Райден готовил картину параллельно с созданием пластинки Dangerous и, по его словам, черпал вдохновение в новой, тогда ещё не представленной публике музыке Джексона и аспектах его жизни. В картине заметно влияние христианского искусства Северной Европы XV века, в частности, стиля Иеронима Босха.
   В центре располагаются глаза Джексона, остальная часть его лица скрыта за большой маской. Слева от неё на троне сидит Король с собачьей головой, тело которого скопировано с полотна Жана Огюста Доминика Энгра «Наполеон на императорском троне». В правой части сидит Королева-птица, образ которой позаимствован из триптиха Босха «Сад земных наслаждений». В центре внизу видна фабрика и дорога, пройдя по которой можно попасть внутрь.
   Картина полна разнообразной символикой. Так Собачий король, по предположениям рецензентов, может обозначать власть, господство и жадность по аналогии с использованием образа собаки в видеоклипе Джексона «Leave Me Alone». Королева-птица — символ жизни, творчества и любви. Фабрика по одной версии может олицетворять творческую жизнь артиста; по другой — холодное и мрачное предприятие символизирует образ нижнего промышленного этажа мира из фильма Фрица Ланга «Метрополис». На вопрос о том, что на самом деле означают некоторые символы на картине, Райден ответил: «Майкл хотел, чтобы они оставались загадкой и люди интерпретировали бы их по-своему».

             *****
Американский певец Michael Jackson родился в 1958 и умер в 2009 году. Считается самым успешным певцом в истории США, всего было продано 260 миллионов копий его пластинок. В активе музыканта сотни призов и наград, в том числе 15 премий Грэмми, а также его имя 13 раз попадало в Книгу рекордов Гиннесса. После своей смерти в 2009 году, Michael Jackson был официально признан Иконой Музыки и Легендой Америки.
   За время своей экстраординарной карьеры Майкл Джексон продал свыше миллиарда релизов по всему миру, выпустил 13 синглов номер один и стал одним из немногих артистов, дважды внесенных в Зал славы рок-н-ролла. Книга рекордов Гиннеса определяет Майкла Джексона не иначе как «Самый успешный артист всех времен». В случае артиста, чье наследие вдохновило несколько поколений любителей музыки и чьи альбомы становятся мультиплатиновыми даже после его ухода из жизни, даже такого громкого определения может быть недостаточно.
