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

- The BEST Pop Album Ever Made
Thriller is undoubtedly the best pop record ever made.
I don't know a single person that doesn't like at least one track from it.
My mom bought it on cassette as a teen, and used to play it for me when I was little. We eventually had to throw the tape away, because it became so warn that the sound was warped - but even so, it never got old.
'Billie Jean' is especially one of those tracks that you don't ever get sick of. It's catchy, dance worthy, and yet at the ... Read More
Rating: - The King is dead. Long live The King!
I heard the devastating news of Michael's passing on the radio as I drove from work. At the age of 50 he died very prematurely. As I digested this devastating news I reflected on his influence in my own life. I owned Thriller when it first came out on vinyl. I had never heard anything that sounded like it before. As for the videos a whole new level of skill,talent and showmanship had just opened in front of our eyes.
Then my 26 Year old son gave me and his mother an anniversary present of this ... Read More
Rating: - Best-Selling Album of All Time!
Michael Jackson was our generation's Elvis Presley. He could move and sing like nobody else before him. He was an icon, a legend, a mystery, almost godlike on stage where fans would pass out from the excitement. His professional life and genius cannot be forgotten. This album will probably always be the best-selling album, record, cassette, compact disc for the rest of my life as far as I know.
This was the Michael Jackson that the world rediscovered and fell in love with all over again. ... Read More
Rating: - Timeless
Any significant collection will include this CD. I love Michael's music and so does my 25 year old son. His music is timeless. The man was a genius and had an angel's heart...you could feel it. I will always love you Michael...God Bless your dear sweet soul. RIP.
