Free Music Review: This Album Has Stood the Test of Time
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not the biggest fan of dance or R & B music, but this album cuts across several genres and has long established itself for the pop landmark that it is. Being a longtime listener of top 40 music, I have to say that Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" is one of the most well written and well crafted pop song ever. It was a multi-million dollar best seller and soared to the top of the pop charts in 1983. The video was great too being a landmark clip that broke the color barrier for exposure on MTV. No one can escape the infectious beat of "Billie Jean", and frankly most of the other songs on the album too.
Stand outs include "Beat It" with its heavy rock backbeat and "Wanna Be Startin' Something", a real get off your seat kind of dance track. And then the tender "The Girl is Mine" duet with Paul McCartney picks up where Jackson left off on his previous album and a solo McCartney tune he did on his own called "Girlfriend".
Pure pop genius for its time, "Thriller" has withstood the test of time to make it one of the greats in pop music right along landmark albums by The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac and the Rolling Stones.
Thriller Poster
Michael Jackson's Thriller is the bestselling album of all time, with 45 million worldwide sales powered by seven Top 10 U.S. singles and eight Grammy Awards. The 1982 album was also a success from which the pop superstar never really recovered--subsequent albums seemed to have no other goal than to beat the records set by Thriller. The highly-polished sound of Quincy Jones's production sounds almost organic compared to Jackson's more recent work, and in the same regard, Thriller was significantly slicker than its predecessor, Off the Wall. Both albums established a Jackson style that aimed for the dance floor with songs built on a state-of-the-art bed of percussion and keyboards. Elements of milestone Thriller tracks like "Billie Jean" (arguably Jackson's best-ever performance) and "Beat It" (with its hard-rock solo by guitarist Eddie Van Halen) influenced not just Jackson's records, but those of the entire dance-pop world. On the song "Thriller," Jackson indulged his taste for the juvenile and invited Vincent Price to rap in a really scary voice. With Thriller the album, Jackson created a different kind of monster--a hit album of such magnitude that it would have an irrevocable impact not just on the singer's art, but on his altogether kooky life. --John MilwardPop Music CDs
