Advantages: Great songs, talent, highly skilled voice, excellent sound quality Disadvantages: You might not like Michael Jackson
.... There is something catchy and hard to beat about Michael Jackson's Thriller. There is a real texture and substance to the album. The album is zesty and full of life. It is upbeat, intense and rich.
The album combines all music genres into one. There is a good mix of pop, rock, r and b and dance."Wanna Be Startin' is the beginning of the album. The opening track is quite lively. Then followed by two slower songs, "Baby Be Mine" and the Michael Jackson duet with Paul McCartney "The Girl Is Mine". Throughout the album you can hear the vocal ability of Michael Jackson as he sings with ease and skill. If you like Michael Jackson's songs then you will love this album. In fact, this album meets a wide varied taste in music.
Jackson has a tough dark attitude throughout the album and it lives up to the name, Thriller. There is a deep, emotive, intensity...

Advantages: Greatest Debut Ever, Every Song is Fantastic, His Afro! Disadvantages: How can there be any, it's Michael Jackson!
...voice could not carry this alone, he was overdubbed a few times to create a harmony and fill out the vocals. The video was also very advanced for it's time. It showed Jackson dancing in front of various funky backgrounds, with 3 images of Michael on the screen for a while. Finally it is the first song where he made lots of screams and squeals throughout the vocals. He had tremendous success with the same technique on much of the Thriller album.
2. Rock With You - Such a fantastic soulful song! It was the first song Rod Temperton wrote for Jackson. He would write many others for him, including "Off The Wall" and "Thriller." The original title was "I Want To Eat You Up," but it was quickly changed to fit Michael's image.
3. Working day and Night - The third song and the fastest on the album, it sounds similar to the old Jackson songs...
