  • There will never be another album like Thriller
There will never be another artist like Michael Jackson. He had everything. The sex appeal, the voice, the experience, the connections- Michael Jackson epitomized everything about a pop artist. Despite his recent history and the jokes that go hand in hand (which haven’t been funny for years), Michael Jackson proves on his albums that no matter what he does, he has something great that everyone will remember him for. Thriller stands out as one of the best albums in his career, showcasing some of his most legendary songs ever. The success of Thriller is flat out scary. The album skyrocketed to the top of the charts and stayed there for 80 weeks, one of only 3 albums to reach that level. Today, it stands as the second highest selling album in the United States and according to some sources, the highest selling album ever in the world. Seven of the nine songs on Thriller became singles, and three of them are among Jackson’s greatest hits. Thriller shows Michael Jackson branching off into a large amount of genres, including rock, R&B, funk, and just straight up 80s synth pop. Despite all the different areas of music, Jackson almost subconsciously inputs his undeniable catchiness and appeal. He took a larger songwriting and production role on this album, allowing him to really play to his strengths. He shows an obvious influence from artists like James Brown, George Clinton, and Stevie Wonder, but he also pulls in some even bigger star power. He called on Paul McCartney, immortally famous Beatles member, to do a duet with him. They “collaborated” and produced The Girl is Mine, the first single off of Thriller Jackson actually wrote all of The Girl is Mine, not allowing McCartney in any of the writing. McCartney simply adds his voice and more importantly, his name to the song. Unfortunately, even with the talents of two of the greatest pop artists of all time, The Girl is Mine fails to impress. The song is a slow, dreamy love song, allowing the vocal talent to stand out. However, the poppy hooks fail to catch the attention of the listener and the music itself pails in comparison to most of the album. Regardless, The Girl is Mine found instant success, maybe due to the star power in the song. It peaked at #2 in the pop singles chart. However, The Girl is Mine was only the beginning of the success for Thriller. Jackson then released Billie Jean, a much more uptempo and overall better song than his previous effort. Jackson also wrote Billie Jean entirely, and proves his undeniable songwriting talent on the song. It grooves a simple drum beat and a fantastic, jumpy bassline. Melodically, a synth chord progression outlines the verse, but more and more instruments add in to the climatic chorus. The chorus features extremely catchy vocal harmonies and a superb funky guitar line. That line later expands into an instrumental bridge, and the guitar stands out as a certain highlight of the song. Billie Jean shot to #1 in both the Black Singles and Pop Singles charts. Thriller contains two more extremely important tracks, the first being the title track. Known more for its dance moves and music video, Thriller is about as epic as a pop song gets. The song draws from Tower of Power horn licks and Funkadelic pop sensibility. The huge brass statement that leads the song into its main groove simply states that Thriller plans to go beyond the normal limits of a pop song. The song outlines the story of a cheesy horror film, which the video conveys perfectly. Immediately following Thriller is Beat It, which also brings in some extreme extra star power. Jackson called on Eddie Van Halen to play guitar on this song. The song draws heavily from the hair metal wave taking the rock nation by storm. The song actually peaked at #14 on the rock charts as well as #1 once again on the Pop Singles and Black Singles charts. Van Halen’s guitar playing is just as lackluster as McCartney’s appearance, but at least Van Halen isn’t as legendary as McCartney. He bursts out his typical fret-burning solo that somehow never impresses me. However, it’s a common misconception that fast guitar playing equals good guitar playing, so fans ate the song up. The riffing plays fairly stereotypical, but this isn’t on a Van Halen album, it’s on a Michael Jackson album, and Jackson lets his audience know that. His poppy vocal harmonies and lyrics make this song for what it is. Overall, Thriller is composed much like a sandwich. The bread covers the top and bottom, the less interesting part of the sandwich. On Thriller, tracks 1-3 make a good first impression but after hearing the entire album, they just do not live up to the middle of the album, or the meat of the album. The three huge singles, Thriller, Beat It, and Billie Jean all stand out even today as some of the greatest pop singles of all time. Finally, the last half of the album feels much like the beginning. Human Nature and The Lady in My Life are both good tracks, featuring some great bass and Jackson’s more sensitive side, but still never live up to the catchiness and fun of the middle of the album. However, as the entire album is listenable all the way through and each track has at least its moments, Thriller stands as one of Jackson’s greatest efforts, giving him an eternal legacy in pop music. ... show more

  • Thrilled with this picture disc!
I bought this after I heard he died. Literally. His corpse was probably still warm. I was hoping to cash this in some day. What was I thinking? I've spent my entire life buying records and if I've learned one thing it's when a popular musician dies their catalogue will never out of print. They keep pressing more in every available format. Then, they invent more formats. There are a handful of listings here for the exact same product. Not sure why. Perhaps an import or two. These may all have been imports cause the Majors weren't pressing vinyl in the US when this was released. But everyone knows what Thriller is and every single released was a US Top Ten and the album sold more copies than religious indoctrination manuals. What everyone doesn't know is every single copy of Thriller that was sold is indeed a valuable collectors item. True. Every beat up, used copy found at flea markets, thrift stores, garage sales and offered on any reselling or auction-style website is easily worth $50, $100, $200. Name your price! It's available. Nobody seems to be buying these overvalued rarities. Why? 1. Most people no longer have the equipment necessary to play them. Lps or cassettes. 2. Crazy people no longer like his music. 2a. This is partially due to his follow-up Bad. During the course of its chart run Michael Jackson was reaching critical over saturation. Too much time on the airwaves. Radio and tv. 2b. His personal life/escapades overshadowed his music. 3. His faux-bondage outfits were getting old. Feel free to add your own. 4. 5. I still play Thriller. Once or twice a year. Maybe. And not on Halloween. My preferred format to play Thriller is the SACD version. Sonically the best version ever, but not surround. A surround mix was completed but never issued. Only way to hear Michael Jackson in surround is the HIStory dvds. Fun fact: Vincent Price (to my knowledge) never actually appeared in the old tv show Thriller. That was Boris Karloff. Boris was long dead by the time of Thriller the song. Having a long dead actor perform the rap would have been more interesting. What surprises me is how come Sony haven't released an Ultimate Platinum Super Deluxe set. Probably in the works. Hope it doesn't contain contemporary remixes. That would put me off. btw, since I purchased this picture disc it has increased in value, but so has every other copy. ... show more
