Thriller (25th Anniversary, Zombie Cover) – 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.. Customer ReviewsNo Words Necessary (5 stars)Thriller was not only an album I grew up with but it was an album that kept getting better with age. Today's youth need to understand that Michael is a phenomenal artist who has had an impact on music since the Jackson 5 started performing. People say that Usher, and Chris Brown can dance, but they all stole their moves from the King of Pop. With that out of the way, Thriller is a one of a kind album. If you have any younger siblings or The Thriller Is Back!! (Haters Beat It) (5 stars) HeyWuzUp! The King Of Pop is back, and in a big way with the re-issue of the best selling album of all time Thriller. Michael has inspired a lot of artist's to way they do like Chris Brown, Usher, also Omarion, Ne-yo, and more, but nobody has still toped Thriller, good luck with that one. Thriller holds, and broke a lot of records, Thriller is the best selling album in multiple years 1983, and 1984, and won 7 Grammys, also held the #1 postio Where is the rest!? (2 stars) Let's be honest here! The greatest album of all time yes it was and is, but these new tracks are not off the hook. Kayne what a let down! Do not put your name on the track if you only drop one line. Fergie can not hold it down with MJ end of story. The Akon and Willi. i. am tracks are good but not enough. I love MJ he has inspired my life as an artist, but lets start fresh with a true new album. Stop all the greatest hits, number ones, hi BiographyBorn: August 29, 1958 in Gary, INGenre: Pop Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s Michael Jackson was unquestionably the biggest pop star of the '80s, and certainly one of the most popular recording artists of all time. 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...
