Cardboard
sleeve (mini LP) reissue from Michael Jackson featuring 2009 digital
remastering. Part of a five-album Michael Jackson Cardboard sleeve (mini
LP) reissue series featuring the albums "Off The Wall," "Thriller,"
"Bad," "Dangerous," and "History." Also includes application card (valid
only in Japan). Off the Wall was a massive success, spawning four Top
Ten hits (two of them number ones), but nothing could have prepared
Michael Jackson for Thriller. Nobody could have prepared anybody for the
success of Thriller, since the magnitude of its success was simply
unimaginable -- an album that sold 40 million copies in its initial
chart run, with seven of its nine tracks reaching the Top Ten (for the
record, the terrific "Baby Be Mine" and the pretty good ballad "The Lady
in My Life" are not like the others). This was a record that had
something for everybody, building on the basic blueprint of Off the Wall
by adding harder funk, hard rock, softer ballads, and smoother soul --
expanding the approach to have something for every audience.
That alone
would have given the album a good shot at a huge audience, but it also
arrived precisely when MTV was reaching its ascendancy, and Jackson
helped the network by being not just its first superstar, but first
black star as much as the network helped him. This all would have made
it a success (and its success, in turn, served as a new standard for
success), but it stayed on the charts, turning out singles, for nearly
two years because it was really, really good. True, it wasn't as tight
as Off the Wall -- and the ridiculous, late-night house-of-horrors title
track is the prime culprit, arriving in the middle of the record and
sucking out its momentum -- but those one or two cuts don't detract from
a phenomenal set of music. It's calculated, to be sure, but the
chutzpah of those calculations (before this, nobody would even have
thought to bring in metal virtuoso Eddie Van Halen to play on a disco
cut) is outdone by their success. This is where a song as gentle and
lovely as "Human Nature" coexists comfortably with the tough, scared
"Beat It," the sweet schmaltz of the Paul McCartney duet "The Girl Is
Mine," and the frizzy funk of "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)." And,
although this is an undeniably fun record, the paranoia is already
creeping in, manifesting itself in the record's two best songs: "Billie
Jean," where a woman claims Michael is the father of her child, and the
delirious "Wanna Be Startin' Something," the freshest funk on the album,
but the most claustrophobic, scariest track Jackson ever recorded.
These give the record its anchor, and are part of the reason why the
record is more than just a phenomenon. The other reason, of course, is
that much of this is just simply great music. |
