Originally released on Epic (38112).Digitally remastered by Bernie Grundman (Bernie Grundman Mastering, Los Angeles, California).The finest example of perfect disco pop, and a record that should be prescribed to musical snobs and manic depressives. The album is a true ambassador of what pop music can be. Jackson whoops and dances through a suite of unforgettable melodies that should be danced to with a smile on your face. Each track offers at least one musical hook, whether it is the beauty of 'Human Nature' (who can resist the 'dada dada da da da') or the 'whoo whoo' of 'Billie Jean'. It's all too good.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson's Thriller is the bestselling album of all time, with 45 million worldwide sales powered by eight Grammy Awards.


In the spotlight since the age of four, Michael Jackson rose to fame as the lead vocalist for the Jackson Five.

In the late 1970s, Jackson embarked on a solo career as a young adult with the Quincy Jones-produced OFF THE WALL

With one hit album under his belt, Jackson proceeded to bring R&B to a whole new audience with his massive THRILLER release--one of the top-selling pop albums of all time--and his innovative videos began to dominate the newly founded MTV network.

The self-proclaimed "King of Pop" is one of the most successful and influential recording stars worldwide.

Review:

The 1982 album was also a success from which the pop superstar never really recovered--subsequent albums seemed to have no other goal than to beat the records set by Thriller.

The highly- polished sound of Quincy Jones's production sounds almost organic compared to Jackson's more recent work, and in the same regard, Thriller was significantly slicker than its predecessor, Off the Wall.

Both albums established a Jackson style that aimed for the dance floor with songs built on a state-of-the-art bed of percussion and keyboards.

Elements of milestone Thriller tracks like "Billie Jean" (arguably Jackson's best-ever performance) and "Beat It" (with its hard- rock solo by guitarist Eddie Van Halen) influenced not just Jackson's records, but those of the entire dance-pop world.

On the song "Thriller", Jackson invited Vincent Price to rap.

Originally released in 1982, 'Thriller' became Michael Jackson's biggest selling solo album.

'Billie Jean', 'Wanna Be Startin' Something', 'Thriller' and his duet with Paul McCartney 'The Girl Is Mine' all reached the top ten.

'Beat It' was his only number one hit single from the album.

Produced by Quincy Jones, 'Thriller' saw Michael Jackson expanding on his Motown influenced sound for the first time by fusing soul and funk with edgy rock and pop.
