Product Description
Amazon.ca
Where Off the Wall was pretty much straight good times, Thriller introduced dread into Michael Jackson's solo work. By 1995's HIStory, this element curdled into overwhelming self-regard and out-of-touchness, but here it's bracing. While Thriller offers its share of cute ("The Girl Is Mine," a duet with Paul McCartney that was the album's first single; "P.Y.T."), the most memorable cuts remain "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," all of which meld musical imagination and worried-mind lyrics.
There's also the title track, which takes a cue from Parliament's concept pieces in employing Vincent Price to warn that nonfunky forces will "terrorize y'all's neighborhood." Thriller, of course, continues to battle with the Eagles' first greatest-hits package for the title of biggest-selling U.S. long-player ever. Bonus material on this edition includes "Someone in the Dark," from Jackson's E.T. children's album, and a Quincy Jones interview in which the producer cites "My Sharona" as the inspiration for "Beat It"--and, even better, the real-life Billie Jean's claim that Michael was "the father of one of her twins." --Rickey Wright

Format:Audio CD
This remastered CD has great sound quality, but the liner notes brag that it includes bonus songs -- however, they are only EXCERPTS of those songs; there is even commentary from Quincy Jones OVER the start of the them! Who wants half a song? I feel ripped off and DON'T think I will be buying his other reissues. This is a horrible lapse in judgment on Jackson's part, but then, what's new? The best thing about the extra tracks is the Vincent Price rap session, which is truly fascinating.

The biggest success album for Michael well deserving. This is the 4th copy I got and that completes all versions since the first issue. I love every song and consider them classics. This music would live for ever and makes Michael Jackson live forever. He put his heart and soul in this album with his brilliant talent and performance that makes your heart beat faster. Love you Michael for always!

i thought i was ordering the DVD not the CD. Quincy Jones talking through much of the CD was a minus

Greatest ever
Let me state first that I have never been a big fan of Michael Jackson. And when this album was released in '82, I though that it was extremely overhyped. Read more
