Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The Jackson 5's final two Motown albums were both of their time--the early disco era--and an unwitting look into a future of dance-floor smashes like "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)" and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough." Dancing Machine quickly appeared as its title track (a remix of the Get It Together original) and it became one of the J5's biggest singles ever in early 1974. Hardly a slapdash release, it placed the hit between two thematically and sonically similar tunes ("She's a Rhythm Child" and "The Life of the Party") and offered the ambitious rock-disco fusion "I Am Love." Likewise, Moving Violation's biggest artistic successes were aimed straight at would-be hip shakers. A Brian Holland-produced remake of the Supremes' "Forever Came Today," "Body Language," and "Moving Violation" are the highlights, with a rare club remix of "Forever" the pick among two bonus tracks. --Rickey Wright Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One of their highly underrated albums.I don't really understand Mowtown sometimes and this is why. While the Jackson 5 have had many hits with the label its seem as though Berry Gordy and the other label heads forget to promote songs that are actually better than the more famous singles. Case in point, the songs "Moving Violation" and "(You Were Made)Especially For Me" should have been hit songs of 1975. For some reason they always thought that other songs were better. They done a great job as a whole but sometimes they really leave you thinking. "Forever Came Today","All I Do Is Think Of You", and "Honey Love" are also great songs that were actually singles(except the latter) but did not receive the recognition that they deserve. To me I actally believe ...

There are some damn good dance tunes on both albums. However, there are two bubblegum songs on Dancin Machine. "If I don't love you this way" is one of them. Personally, I like this ballad, but the fact that Mike's voice was still in transition gives the song more of a childish feel. Both CDs have knockout songs and great ballads, but the Moving Violation album proves that the Bubblegum is gone for good. 2) Mike's voice is in peak form on these albums in my opinion. It's evident that his voice matured during the Dancin Machine recording sessions because he sounds more mature on some songs than on ...

I love the instrument arrangment so much in I am love, dancing machine and what you don't know have great melodies and if I don't love you this way is a beautiful ballad that mary j blige covered a few years ago moving violation is funky too but it's full of hits and misses. Body Language, Breezy, call of the wild and a couple others are great but it doesn't flow as well as dancing machine though I give it to them for bringing fans the funk in their music before leaving motown to join epic Rating: - The Aftermath of Dancing MachineThis was actually the very first of the 5 double album/single cd collection that i purchased,and it drew me closer to the Jacksons. Well,after 15 year old Michael Jackson gave the disco dancers in Black America a brand new Soul Train dance,the boys were still being disappointed with their albums. Relunctantly on these last two commercial Motown albums,the Jacksons give it one last try. On the critically acclaimed "Dancing Machine" album,Jermaine re-introduces his self on the openning track (as Tina Turner would say it,Slow and Easy in the beginning and Rough in the end) "I Am Love,Parts 1 & 2". Michael also joins him on the bridge part,but Jermaine takes over again. Michael then comes back with one of my favorite tracks on the album "Whatever ... Read More: Rating: - The mature J-5 delivers againThis 2-fer CD, DANCING MACHINE and MOVING VIOLATION, is a continuation of the musical style that the "new" and now-older Jackson 5 had given us on GET IT TOGETHER, an excellent album where every cut clicks. Although DANCING MACHINE (1974), entitled as such to capitalize on the success of the single (which was originally on GIT), has several different producers, they all attempted to keep the same theme in mind: to come up with funky and exciting sounds for the J-5, and that they do. Opening with the fantastic nearly eight-minute funk/rock dance groove of "I Am Love", you know that you are in for something special. Jermaine primarily handles the leads on this song, with Michael coming at the bridge. "Whatever You Got, I Want" is bluesy ... Read More: |
