Thriller [Remastered] - Michael Jackson

...mereley mediocre in contrast to Thriller (1982). Again, the project was aided by the genius production skills of Quincy Jones. Thriller (1982) even more than Off The Wall (1979), really conveys Jacksons extraordinary artistic vision showing off his unparalled talents and shrewd choice of music. Jackson glides through all nine of the origanal recordings with effortless energy showcasing his highly versatile and rocketing vocal approach that neatly ...
...The title track, Thriller is of course one of wacko Jackos many landmarks in his musical career. With more undertones of pure, pulsating funk and swirling, eerie musical arrangements this track is, without doubt, another classic to Jacksons credit. Jackson embodies his heart and soul into this track and Thriller went on to become another Cross- Atlantic smash hit (and who can forget that video that accompanied it). Even more compelling musically ...

Review of Thriller [Remastered] - Michael Jackson

A little bit of background to this classic Michael Jackson album: In 1982, Jackson released his second Epic album, "Thriller", which became the best-selling album in music history with more than 60 million copies sold worldwide. The album spawned seven hit singles, including "Billie Jean", which was the first music video by an black artist to receive regular airplay on MTV. "Thriller" spent 37 weeks at number one and remained on the Billboard album ...
...in the United States and is still the biggest selling album of all time...and guess what, I am not surprised! Here is a rundown of each track and why it appeals to me; "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin" - Fast paced, beat orientated, simple and funky. It is it's simple yet outlandish and original rythm along with Michael's vocals on the song which make it a huge hit for me on the album. "Baby Be Mine" - Although it is probably the song i listen to the ...

Review of Thriller [Remastered] - Michael Jackson

...and an uncut verse in Thriller by Vincet Price. This is simply breaktaking, awesome, and doggone funky. Here is my view on each track. 1) Wanna be startin' somethin' Super catchy. Very disco! The breakdown at the end of the song is stunning, as are MJ's diverse vocals. A good one to sing along to as well. Get on the dancefloor! 2) Baby be mine A more mid tempo number, to the style of Off The Walls 'Rock with you'. Fabulous intoduction, super ...
...with Paul McCartney, as they argue over 'the girl'. This is the song where Michael says 'I'm a lover, not a fighter'. My faveourite line is when Michaels sings 'no she said that I'm the one for her, cause she said I blow her mind'. 4) Thriller Everyone knows this song, it's so infamous and of course has the video to match. I still find the begninng so creepy. The song builds up into a frenzy of velvet vocals, super groovy beats, and eeire sound ...

Review of Thriller [Remastered] - Michael Jackson

If I had been sad enough to follow the "pop" charts, there wouldn't have been mention of MJ a couple of months ago. Now it seems everyone is taking advantage of his unfortunate demise - jumping on the bandwagon to squeeze pennies from the public through emotional blackmail. Thats right - don't buy a CD and you are a heartless person with no care for MJ passing away. I'm not saying this isn't worth the money, MJ is indefinately the King of Pop, but ...
...CD my mum brought decades ago. The songs are classics, but is there any point in re-releasing the music simply in "celebration of MJ's career". These money grabbing marketing types will do anything to make money. To see an example of this just look at the picture OK magazine published a while ago: A closeup snapshot of a sweaty, delirious MJ on life support clearly not in the best of shape. Leave the poor guy alone damn it! One last point is a hilarious ...
