Thriller [Remaster] by Michael Jackson

Pros: Everything, just about.
Cons: "The Girl is Mine"

Flash back to Christmas 1982. My burgeoning interest in music had already been supported by the inheritance of my family's super-large collection of 45's by everyone from Rick James and Stevie Wonder to Rod Stewart and Boz Scaggs. Asked by a family...

Pros: He could buy my whole hometown with the money he made from this album alone.
Cons: Just beat it, beat it, no one wants to be defeated... wait, where were we?

The Main Idea Despite the fact that his name has become synonymous with the essence of freakishness, Michael Jackson was the man back in the day, as is proven by Thriller, the biggest-selling album of all time. Personally, I think ...

Pros: Are you kidding? This is Thriller for crying out loud
Cons: Oh please, like there are any

I remember when Thriller was released. I was so excited and really, really, really wanted the album. I kept dropping hints left and right hoping someone would finally give in (or just get annoyed with me - whichever came first) and ...

Pros: The classic hits; consistent levels of performance and production.
Cons: The watery, sentimental ballads.

If there’s an album that can claim to be the proverbial ‘Daddy’ of them all, chances are it’s Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” (at least in terms of units shifted!) Proudly standing as the best-selling record of all time, it’s ...

Pros: it's all good
Cons: none

For a long while during the frighteningly long Michael Jackson child abuse court case I swore I would never be reviewing anything by Michael Jackson unless he was found Not Guilty by the court, and for the longest time it seemed I would eventually be ...

Pros: I STILL like "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller"
Cons: A few of the songs have lost their penny loafers

It almost seems superfluous writing a review of this album. What can I possibly say that roheblius, sadgit, Jaguardog, and the demon of speed (531) didn't? Well, probably nothing, but seeing as how life is one long attempt to commune with the smartazz ...

Pros: Top to Bottom; The Best Album Ever Made
Cons: ?

Michael Jackson's sixth studio album,Thriller, is the most successful album in the history of music. It is estimated to have sold 110 million copies worldwide. Can an album that sold that many copies really be that good? I mean, Britney ...

Pros: *
Cons: *

The death of Michael Jackson is still surreal to me, even all these days later. The fact that he's dead at all is shocking enough. Sure, Michael's “metamorphosis” over the past couple of decades has been pretty well-documented, but did ...

Pros: Every track is excellent
Cons: None

Whether you love or hate Michael Jackson you have to admit that musically he's a talented guy. And out of all his albums, Thriller shows that talent best. Not only is it the highest selling album of all time, but critics than and now still consider it to ...

Pros: There’s no doubt about it. Michael’s smoking hot on this one.
Cons: ….but Michael couldn’t handle his own success. The headier the heights, the greater the fall.

Having saved up what seemed a hell of a lot of wallah for my thirteen year old self (about £15.99….a lot of damn money for me even now!), I triumphantly put the CD in my Walkman and honest to God it was in there on constant play for two ...

Pros: A kaleidoscope of different musical genres blended masterfully together.
Cons: Thriller is pretty boring if you don't like music.

Estimated to have sold upwards of ONE HUNDRED MILLION copies worldwide, that firmly places MJ's Thriller as the biggest selling album of all time, moonwalking almost SIXTY MILLION copies ahead of AC/DC's Back In Black, Meatloaf's Bat Out Of ...

Pros: Progressive post-disco rhythms, dark melodies, and fervent ad-libbing make this a monster.
Cons: Absolutely none. Unless you consider how many songs he actually wrote.

Well, it was inevitable. Anyone whom has read my first few reviews knew it was coming. My first review of a Michael Jackson release. And what better place to start than the greatest-selling record all-time (although sales have no bearing on quality). ...

Pros: Contains some of the most important landmarks in Jacksons' recording career
Cons: Absolutley none!

Off The Wall (1979) was an absolutely explosive album by the genius Michael Jackson. Produced by Quincy Jones, Off The Wall was a blockbuster success on both sides of the Atlantic and featured a wealth of hit singles, including the stunning Rock With ...

Pros: One of the most danceable albums ever made.
Cons: None! Why do you think it sold so many copies?

No matter how you feel about Michael Jackson as a human being, you can't deny his power, influence and ability as a musical artist.

Thriller is one of the biggest-selling albums of all time, producing hit after hit that kept everyone...

Pros: Most of the tracks were well-crafted, danceable songs
Cons: Two weak tracks, especially "The Lady in my Life"

When Michael Jackson released "Thriller," in December 1982, he was hoping that it would simply match the success of 1979's "Off the Wall," the album which established Jackson as a superstar in his own right.

"Thriller" was launched with the...
