no offense, but with this project, it has become clear that they legalize making money from songs that already exist on the internet. i need unheard stuff to be excited.

Everyone expected for the disc 2 to include leaked content, it's not the Estate's fault that most of the finished songs from Thriller have already been leaked. We're already getting 2 unleaked songs though so I wouldn't expect more to avoid more disappointment.
 
Got The Hots isn't a bad song and definitely isn't the worst of the Thriller outtakes (that goes to She's Trouble imo) but apart from the chorus it's a pretty boring song. Siedah Garret's version is leagues better imo.
 
I guess it’s nice that it’s gonna be officially released…? Maybe that’s the optimist in me talking, but one bad song isn’t gonna ruin the whole disc.

I don’t care that it was already released in some markets; 90% of the world will be getting it for the first time.

I care that it’s one of the worst songs Michael ever recorded lmfao.

Completely agree on the first line, this will be much more, globally accessible to people as opposed being on the Asian market of Thriller 25

I'm not disappointed to be honest, Its Michael and its from the Thriller era, winning - Im OK, and actually hope we get Hot Street and Niteline, demos and rare releases are different to global release of these tracks
 
Question: if Got the Hots can be found in 9 different releases and therefore considered limited enough to be here, how about Carousel? I mean, the full version can only be found on the Italian edition of KOP.
 
i made a prediction a week back, im curious to see how much of it will come true.

10. "Got The Hots (Demo)"
11. "Hot Street (Demo)"
12. "Dont Matter to Me (Demo)"
13. "Nite Line (Demo)"
14. "Behind The Mask (Mike's Mix (Demo))"
15. "StarLight (Demo)"
16. "The Toy (Demo)"
17. "Chicago 1945 (Demo)"
18. "State of Shock (w/ Freddie Mercury (Demo))"
19. "She's Trouble (Demo)"

I think Carousel is a safe bet. The full version was released on The Ultimate Fan Extras Collection, but there was no fanfare. I love that one, so that’s fine with me.

Don't get me wrong, I'd much prefer having it over Got the Hots. I love it!
 
Hardly surprising that they decided to release this one! I doubt there will be any other unheard tracks from the era on the album, to be honest.

I'm disappointed with this one, the tweet is terrible too. They don't mention the title of the song in the tweet, then they mention that it has previously been released. Baffling

Same, not particularly interested in being sold something that's already been released and sold before. This could have easily been included in the digital deluxe disc, baffling that it wasn't. Also, yeah the amateur hour blurbs for the songs are just getting worse.
 
I told y'all weeks ago not to expect much. Xscape was thee exact same way! My best bet is that Chicago 45 might be on there & it might be last. I'm praying for Buffalo bill!
 
Something tells me that every Thriller outtake has already been released or leaked. Ever since we found out that the registered cassette of “Stand Tall” doesn’t have any MJ vocals, I have serious doubts about the other titles that we learned about through the various copyrighting agencies.

How about the songs mentioned by Michael on the Mexico deposition that date back to the Thriller sessions?

To my knowledge, most of those titles were never definitively linked to the Thriller sessions; it was all speculation and rumors. Those that were linked have already either been released or leaked, with the exception of “Rolling the Dice.”
 
My prediction for the tracklist is:

10. Hot Street
11. Got The Hots
12. Nightline
13. Carousel
14. Behind The Mask
15. Can't Get Outta The Rain
16. The Toy
17. Sunset Driver
18. Starlight
19. She's Trouble
 
Just listened to Got The Hots for the first time in ages...how was that ever considered strong enough to make the album?

Between, She's Trouble, Niteline, Got The Hots. Thriller has some of the weakest outtakes from any MJ album. How did Quincy listen to hundreds of songs supposedly, and think these were strong enough to record

Yet Quincy is credited for quality control on Mike's albums 🙄
 
I’m glad we’re finding out this way without any leaks beforehand to spoil the surprise.

I first came across ‘got the hots’ on the digital version of ‘thriller 25’. Michael and Quincy were credited as writers. I always felt it had a temperton vibe similar to ‘off the wall’. good to have some clarification now.

I had a feeling this would make the project. I made a poll over a month ago asking which song was the strongest between it and ‘hot street’.

‘got the hots’ has that late-night cosmic funk that would fit in with what current artists like Bruno mars, dua lipa, and the weeknd are doing today. those lush multi harmonies on the chorus are trademark mj. it has a catchy chorus and is danceable.

the mix might need to be fixed up a little, but it has hit potential. I’m honestly most excited about this song than the other reveals so far 💜

...which is why they were never released, not even as b-sides???
 
There's still 6 more track titles to wait for, 25% of what's been announced is unheard and 75% never before released. Its not a bad ratio there considering how many leaks we have and how many re-releases Thriller has had over the years.

Thats not gonna happen we will only hear the toy
 
Rolling the Dice is probably the last hope at anything unheard previously. Got the Hots opens up the opportunity for CGOTR and Carousel to be included. Possibly TGIM solo demo also. I can't imagine Chicago 1945 or Buffalo Bill being included, they're probably saving them for a full album release. Is there any info on Rolling the Dice outside the Mexico deposition?

Quincy and Rod both get way more credit for these albums than they deserve. Hugely talented no doubt, but the strongest material always came from MJ.
