Should several of the tracks on the 25th anniversary edition of Thriller find their way onto your MP3 player, you're going to have to admit: the music holds up. "Beat It" is not about to go stale, at least not without a rumble, and neither are "Billie Jean" and "P.Y.T." Even if you put the record-hurtling hits aside, you're still left with the realization that without MJ, there might not have been a JT [Justin Timberlake], never mind a Ne-Yo (listen closely to "Human Nature" and "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'"). The bonus DVD bundled with the expanded CD includes a digitally redone version of the famous title-track video, among other clips, and it still astonishes with its choreography and attitude. As for the new tracks--Fergie inserts herself into "Beat It," Will.i.am takes on "The Girl Is Mine" and "P.Y.T.," Kanye West remixes "Billie Jean" (with characteristically subtle brilliance), Akon duets with M-Jack on "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," and the unreleased ballad "For All Time" (from the original Thriller sessions) is shined up and tacked on--they will suck you in like it was pop music's hugest year, 1983, all over again. Start brushing up on your moonwalk now. --Tammy La Gorce

Wanna Be Startin Somethin is an explosive fast-paced disc opener unleashing a frenetic, kinetic dance groove. Beats aside, the perceptive lyrics by MJ reveal awareness of the dubious nature of the people around him. He jabs the listener with assurances that he is nobody's fool and can cut through manipulative excuses like nobody's business.
Baby Be Mine is a sweet mid-tempo R&B love song by Rod Temperton with delightful backing vocals.
The Girl is Mine is pure bland cornball outdone in lameness only by the Paul McCartney-authored Girlfriend from OFF THE WALL. But MJ liked The Girl Is Mine enough to write it and invite McCartney along to help him sing it, so listeners can either have to love it or skip it.
Thriller is Rod Temperton's exploration of the darkness inside the self as well as the world around. Upsetting to religious groups who tend to forget about the most frightening nightmare ever put into words--The Book of Revelations--MJ's lead and multi-track backing vocals blend seamlessly, interrupted only by Vincent Price's gimmicky rap.
Written by MJ, Beat It reveals MJ's effort to appeal beyond the urban audience to capture lovers of lead guitar riffs by Eddie Van Halen, plus his appeal to pacifism over violence, plus his increased songwriting skills that showcase the ability to tell stories through lyrical expression. Massive radio and video airplay caused further seismic shifts in the pop world.
An excellent follower to Beat It, Billie Jean is another MJ composition whose demo (included in this package) proves that even at this early stage in his career, MJ's songwriting and ability to arrange instrumentation were solid. Another fascinating story inside MJ's world, dominated by a destructive out-of-control groupie who causes legal and media mayhem with her lies and wishful thinking. Sexy, complex, excellent, instantly-recognizable with the first few notes.
Human Nature is a song written by members of the soft rock group, Toto. The lyrics describe wonderment at city lights and nightlife and an acceptance of a man's place in that world. Absolutely beautiful synth arrangements around MJ's soft lead and strong backing vocals.
P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) was silly upon release and remains silly today. Fortunately not written by MJ, but instead contributed by James Ingram and Quincy Jones. MJ's own Carousel (demo included in this package) likely should have taken its place, but at this early point in his career, he probably had to go along to get along with Jones. Backing vocals by Ingram and Howard Hewitt (of Shalimar). Janet and LaToya on the na na nas.
The Lady in My Life is a gorgeous, lush, sexy adult assurance of lasting love well-written by ever-reliable Rod Temperton. This fortunate rescue from P.Y.T. closes the album on a high note.
BONUS TRACKS: The Billie Jean and Carousel home demos are a revelation of young MJ's intelligence, talent, and musicianship plus the high level of his contributions to THRILLER, not as a product of Jones, but as a full participant in the creative process. Carousel, in particular, sounds delightful. Also includes interviews of Jones.
I was hoping to cash this in some day. What was I thinking? I've spent my entire life buying records and if I've learned one thing it's when a popular musician dies their catalogue will never out of print. They keep pressing more in every available format. Then, they invent more formats.
There are a handful of listings here for the exact same product. Not sure why. Perhaps an import or two. These may all have been imports cause the Majors weren't pressing vinyl in the US when this was released.
But everyone knows what Thriller is and every single released was a US Top Ten and the album sold more copies than religious indoctrination manuals.
What everyone doesn't know is every single copy of Thriller that was sold is indeed a valuable collectors item. True.
Every beat up, used copy found at flea markets, thrift stores, garage sales and offered on any reselling or auction-style website is easily worth $50, $100, $200. Name your price! It's available. Nobody seems to be buying these overvalued rarities. Why?
1. Most people no longer have the equipment necessary to play them. Lps or cassettes.
2. Crazy people no longer like his music.
2a. This is partially due to his follow-up Bad. During the course of its chart run Michael Jackson was reaching critical over saturation.
Too much time on the airwaves. Radio and tv.
2b. His personal life/escapades overshadowed his music.
3. His faux-bondage outfits were getting old.
Feel free to add your own.
4.
5.
I still play Thriller. Once or twice a year. Maybe. And not on Halloween.
My preferred format to play Thriller is the SACD version. Sonically the best version ever, but not surround. A surround mix was completed but never issued. Only way to hear Michael Jackson in surround is the HIStory dvds.
Fun fact: Vincent Price (to my knowledge) never actually appeared in the old tv show Thriller. That was Boris Karloff. Boris was long dead by the time of Thriller the song. Having a long dead actor perform the rap would have been more interesting.
What surprises me is how come Sony haven't released an Ultimate Platinum Super Deluxe set. Probably in the works.
Hope it doesn't contain contemporary remixes. That would put me off.
btw, since I purchased this picture disc it has increased in value, but so has every other copy.
