Thriller

For: $11.97

Where Off the Wall was pretty much straight good times, Thriller introduced dread into Michael Jackson's solo work. By 1995's HIStory, this element curdled into overwhelming self-regard and out-of-touchness, but here it's bracing. While Thriller offers its share of cute ("The Girl Is Mine," a duet with Paul McCartney that was the album's first single; "P.Y.T."), the most memorable cuts remain "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," all of which meld musical imagination and worried-mind lyrics.

There's also the title track, which takes a cue from Parliament's concept pieces in employing Vincent Price to warn that nonfunky forces will "terrorize y'all's neighborhood." Thriller, of course, continues to battle with the Eagles' first greatest-hits package for the title of biggest-selling U.S. long-player ever. Bonus material on this edition includes "Someone in the Dark," from Jackson's E.T. children's album, and a Quincy Jones interview in which the producer cites "My Sharona" as the inspiration for "Beat It"--and, even better, the real-life Billie Jean's claim that Michael was "the father of one of her twins." --Rickey Wright

All the non-music craziness about Michael Jackson aside, Thriller was and is an incredible album. I'm not a huge MJ fan, I mean the dude is pretty freaky, but Thriller was a masterpiece album. I like a few MJ songs before this (Don't Stop) and...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 08, 2008 Type: User Review Synthesizer driven classic pop

The transition of popular music from rock 'n roll to disco to techno driven pop was officially completed with the release of Thriller. Quite an amazing and often overlooked feat in it's own right.
