Thriller The greatest album to ever hit the music world, this album sold over 52 million copies and I think this album will never be beaten. Thriller has some amazing tracks and all the tracks in the album have been major hits. I am still surprised the awesome track “Beat it” Was never number 1. This album many people say was a follow up to Michael Jackson first solo album “Of the wall” which was also a major hit and had great tracks which where number 1 like tracks like “Don’t stop till you get enough” which has been remixed a lot. Also “Rock with you” Which now-a-days artist like Justin Is trying to copy with “rock your body” and a similar video. Micheal Jackson has had lots of hit albums before that with his brothers in the “Jackson 5”. Micheal has been in the music industry ever since he was a little boy. Micheal Jackson did some amazing albums after known as the Awesome album “BAD” And “Dangerous”.
Getting back to Thriller (the special addition version) there have been three major tracks that made thriller what it is the first one is:
Billie Jean, I remember this video and Michael Jackson doing awesome dance step at the end when he steps on each square it lights up, the video is fantastic. But what about the song, well the song is just as good with awesome beats and great lyrics its all about the press bugging him about “Billie jean” and he is saying that she is not my lover. The song starts of with a beat that will always be remembered once the song starts straight away you know its Billie jean. Then it hits “she was more like a beauty queen from the movie scene” It starts of Micheal singing softly and it is not boring at all then he hits the lyric “AND PEOPLE ALWAYS TOLD ME BECAREFUL WHAT YOU DO DON’T GO ROUND BREAKING GIRLS HEARTS” and the famous “HEEE” from Michael Jackson in type got very famous The beats picks up with the drum beats and the trumpets come in Then he says “hey hey Billie jean not my lover” and the beats is fast paced. As the song finishes off it gets awesome with the electric guitars! This song is an amazing huge hit! This song still even today plays at clubs and people go wild for this track!
The next song is BEAT IT
Beat it, not a number one but a surely an awesome track same as Billie jean I am sure you must have heard this awesome track somewhere and yes this song does still play at clubs. The video shows Michael Jackson in his famous red jacket he also wore in the video thriller (getting back to thriller video later on) Micheal Jackson dance steps at the end is simply breath taking I have no idea how the hell he could move like that. The video is very famous and has been copied many times by different artist. The Song itself is Mind-blowing to me this is the best track in the album for sure. A song about aggression and frustration and being a man and standing up and fighting!! The track starts of with a hunted hallway typo sound, then the electric guitars hit then Michael says “The fires in there eyes and there words are really clear so beat it just beat it”. When he screams out BEAT IT I am sure your heart will skip a beat and just want to dance! This song is all about gaining confidence and being a man. Simply and amazing track!
The Next song Thriller
Thriller, the main track of the album the huge major hit to almost hit the screens along with Michael Jackson’s other track smooth criminal. The video is known to be the best video ever made. A spooky Halloween kind of videos and many people have been scared to watch this video. Micheal when he turns into a zombie I was so shocked when I first the movie to see him turn into one. When Micheal turns around and then he cracks his next on the side each time then he hits a few dance steps amazing. What is so good about his dancing is sure lots of people can do great dance steps but dancing like a zombie and also doing great dance steps is just pure genius. His face expression shows he is still a zombie, just amazing his dance steps are still famous around that world. Now the tack thriller starts with a spooky door opening and ware wolfs noises. Then the song hits “It’s close to midnight, and sometime evils lurking from the dark” and all you hear is magic lyrics about the dark night and if you can survive. The singing is just unbelievable, Mike sings right from inside and his singing is just amazing!
Now what to say about this album?
There are many major hit tracks like
.Wanna be starting something
.Baby be mine
.Human nature
.Lady in my life
But this album only has 9 tracks unless you get the special edition with “sometimes in the dark” and “Billie jean” Micheal Jackson original demo.
Overall Thriller is the best album ever made and I think it can never be beaten because each track is great in its own way you must have listen to it before and if you haven’t where have you been for the last 20 plus years (has your radios and televisions been off?) if you have not heard it what are you waiting for go check it out now and grab a copy of this great album!
