The infamous 'Thriller' is the biggest selling album of all time. And understandably so. I wasn't born when this album was released, but at 23 this remains to be the standard other artists strive to achieve. Speical edition also features an interview with the infamous producer Quincy Jones 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 smooth.
3) The girl is mine MJ's duet 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 effects of ghosts and ghouls. The highlight of course being the rap at the end by Vincent Price.
5) Beat it Here we see some aggresive vocals from MJ. Snarling, demanding, but always impeccable. Features a stunning guitar solo from Eddie Van Halen.
6) Billie Jean The song with the most recognisable bass line ever! MJ sings of a story of a girl who claims he is the father of her son. This actually happened to him - a gril claimed he was the father of ONE of her twins?! Great singalong chorus and guitar riffs. For me one of MJ's finest tracks.
7) Human Nature A much slower track. Very delicate and easy listening. MJ's hits some high notes in this song, for me it's almost angelic. An understated track.
8) PYT (Pretty young thing) Another for the ladies, sexy vocals from the KOP (King of pop) Also love the sing along part mid way through.
9) The lady in my life A nice ballad to finish things off, the song is very honest and heartfelt. It's super romantic and soulful.
This is in my opinion, the best pop album ever written. It's breaks your heart, makes you laugh, makes you sad, makes you sing, makes you dance. The perfect combination for an impeccable album. Michaels vocals are beautiful, and I am sure girls will appreciate why girls would pass out left right and centre at his concerts I feel it's impossible to fault. RIP Michael.
