This is the best album of all time. It's that simple.
He molested kids come on

>Mixing engineer Bruce Sweiden recalled that the original run length of Thriller was 25 minutes per side. "I tried to explain that the realistic limit of vinyl discs was 18 minutes per side; after that the sound quality seriously degrades. They looked at me like I didn't know what I was talking about. I then played the reference disc for Michael and the Epic executives, which of course sounded awful and distorted, and they had a look of stunned disbelief on their faces. Michael broke down and cried."[8]
>>131714823Michael Jackson is the most overrated faggot in musicFull stopHe made dance musicThats itIt's not some high achievement to get Quincy Jones to bring in studio musicians to make your shit
>>131715016Thriller was big but Sony way exaggerated its actual sales, also most of the audience for it was little kids while older people listened to different stuff.
>>131715000Nobody'd ever heard of a double album, huh? Prince did that on 1999; why couldn't Michael?
>>131715039Pop musicians wanting every track to be a radio single simply didn't do double albums
>>131715039>Nobody'd ever heard of a double album, huh? Prince did that on 1999; why couldn't Michael?I guess Columbia didn't want to pay for it. It was in the early 80s during an economic recession; labels were pretty cheap back then.
>>131714823Not even the best MJ
>>131715000Todd Rundgren fit one hour of music on a single disc through some insane editing tricks.
>>131715039Also Michael had been a recording artist since he was a child; nobody ever told him in all that time that you can only put 18 minutes on a disc side before the sound goes to shit?
>>1317148233 D tier tracks (1/3 of the entire album)
>>131714823it's great but it's not even his best album(Off The Wall is his best)
>>131715079editing wouldn't change what Sweiden was talking about
>>131714957He made Thriller, THRILLER!
Thriller [Epic, 1982]This is virtually a hits-plus-filler job, but at such a high level it's almost classic anyway, with the three Michael-composed songs on top. "Beat It," in which Eddie Van Halen wends his might in the service of antimacho, is the triumph and the thriller. But while I'm for anything that will get interracial love on the radio, playing buddies with Paul McCartney is Michael's worst idea since "Ben," and I expect to bear more of "Wanna Be Startin' Something" and "Thriller" on the dancefloor than in my living room. A-
>>131715000Vinylfaggots are so retarded.>deliberately wanting to be limited by a 40s-50s technology
>>131715000Once CDs were a thing Jackson went nuts with all the unnecessarily bloated tracks he couldn't do in the old days.
>>131715836movies have an ideal runtime. books have an ideal page count. and albums have an ideal duration, which is 40 minutes, which is what the 12 inch vinyl record offers.
>>131715836>>131716069They used to just put out double albums or two albums a year in the 70s because artists couldn't fit all the material on one disc.
The Girl is Mine is cringe and I could live without Human Nature and The Lady in My Life, too. Off The Wall mogs IMO.
>>131714823>includes faul grannyshitno thanks
>>131714823>This is the best album of all time.it's close
>>131719443^Yeah this. They all complained about the 90s introducing CD bloat, but really it just meant that you could release one album instead of 2-3 like in the 70s.
Oh yeah, where is its 10/10 rating from Fantano or pitchfork then?
these threads are silly.
>>131715016Based. They're all overrated, hendrix, prince, james brown, stevie wonder included. Affirmative action artists.
>>131714823
>>131720740post favorite artists
White guilt fags mad.
>>131720740all mastered the art of tap dancing for whitey with gimmicks, outside of prince, but maybe even prince since he was direct ripoff of rick james
>>131722851Both Prince and RJ were inspired by Hendrix as well. Still, Motown wouldn't let James do guitar solos on his albums although he did them live.
>he's black and plays the guitar that means he was influenced by hendrixlmao
Not even a Jackson aficionado, but come on man, everybody knows Off the Wall is superior by multiple orders of magnitude
