Thriller (25th Anniversary) [Deluxe Edition] – Michael JacksonView More By Michael Jackson Our ReviewThriller’s late-1982 release marked the beginning of Michael Jackson’s entry into another level of fame; it also saw the end of a great five-year period of creativity that had seen him raise his solo game on the unstoppable Off the Wall and make heavy contributions to the Jacksons’ Destiny and Triumph. Stripping the weight of history from Thriller is a big job, but hearing the record as a statement in itself remains hugely rewarding. Seven of its nine original cuts were Top Ten singles, but more important is the way Jackson and producer Quincy Jones turned the singer’s obsessions into intricate, stunningly sung pop-funk. From the knowing humor of the title track to the dread of “Billie Jean” and “Beat It” and the irresistible cuteness of “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)” and “Baby Be Mine,” Thriller finds Jackson at an artistic height. A quarter century later, it still sells. And nostalgia is far down the list of reasons why. This special edition includes “Someone in the Dark” from an E.T. story album, a “Billie Jean” demo, outtakes and numerous intriguing, amusing interview segments with Jones and songwriting collaborator Rod Temperton.. Customer ReviewsGreat Album, Not So Great Repackaging (2 stars)If you are a super fan, of course you're picking this up but none of the new remixes are worth buying. The original album is superb and a landmark and deserves another look. Unfortunately, to get more people to buy this, studio execs think they have to pander to the young crowd and bring out artist that are hip now and will never be the caliber talent of Michael Jackson. This is great for the young and old!!!! (5 stars) We all know the original album was great every track released was a hit record. The mysterious and sound blasting Billie Jean to the cobative Wanna Be Startin Somethin. Even the song that werent released (Baby be mine and espcially The Lady In My Life) are supurb. On this delux edition of Thriller you get the behind the scenes sessions of Thriller including the first demo of Billie Jean from 1981 and a sort of blooper session of Michael wit Very nice (5 stars) Still loving the thriller album and vids and remixes are great too.

In his prime, Jackson was an unstoppable juggernaut, possessed of all the tools to dominate the charts seemingly at will: an instantly identifiable voice, eye-popping dance moves, stunning musical versatility, and loads of sheer star power. His 1982 blockbuster Thriller became the biggest-selling album of all time (probably his best-known accomplishment), and he...
