Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Album Description

The Biggest Album Ever just got bigger. The 25th Anniversary Edition of Thriller celebrates this ground-breaking album with 7 bonus tracks, six of which are previously unreleased. The new tracks include exclusive remixes from Kanye West, Fergie, will.i.am and Akon along with a previously unreleased track from the Thriller sessions, "For All Time," newly mixed and mastered by Michael Jackson. Also included is a BONUS DVD with new, digitally restored versions of the three videos from the album as well as the Michael Jackson's groundbreaking performance of "Billie Jean" on the "Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever" television special (first broadcast on NBC May 16, 1983).

The deluxe version is housed in a hardbound book-style package with a 48-page color booklet of rare photos and lyrics. Also included in all versions of the release is a new personal greeting from Michael Jackson to his fans penned exclusively for this special release.

Should several of the tracks on the 25th anniversary edition of Thriller find their way onto your MP3 player, you're going to have to admit: the music holds up. "Beat It" is not about to go stale, at least not without a rumble, and neither are "Billie Jean" and "P.Y.T." Even if you put the record-hurtling hits aside, you're still left with the realization that without MJ, there might not have been a JT [Justin Timberlake], never mind a Ne-Yo (listen closely to "Human Nature" and "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'"). The bonus DVD bundled with the expanded CD includes a digitally redone version of the famous title-track video, among other clips, and it still astonishes with its choreography and attitude. As for the new tracks--Fergie inserts herself into "Beat It," Will.i.am takes on "The Girl Is Mine" and "P.Y.T.," Kanye West remixes "Billie Jean" (with characteristically subtle brilliance), Akon duets with M-Jack on "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," and the unreleased ballad "For All Time" (from the original Thriller sessions) is shined up and tacked on--they will suck you in like it was pop music's hugest year, 1983, all over again. Start brushing up on your moonwalk now. --Tammy La Gorce

I have worked with Michael Jacksons producers for a few years now, last year I tried to get a CD released called "Michael Jacksons greatest Hits Live!" they hated the idea of a live CD or greatest hits so I found a way to release it without there permission, they found out and they fired me, I was so mad, when i see this CD in stores I think of how much Michael Jackson SUCKS!!!!!

If you're a Michael Jackson fan, this is definitely a great collector's CD. However, I had been told about the "Vincent Price Excerpt" on this CD and was led to believe (by others) that this was an extension to his famous "Thriller" monologue. However, this excerpt was a mere 30 seconds long and consisted of nothing substantial. If you are a Vincent Price fan, this product is NOT worth purchasing!

What can I say, yet another great album. Everytime MJ enters the recording studio the music he makes is instant GOLD! What I like most about this album as a fan is that even though I wasnt around for the release of the original album I am able to purchase yet another piece of history. The original songs are great to hear remastered and the new remixes to the big hits are also great...nothing but positive notes for this album. I hope to hear more from this monumental artist in the future.
