Ironic how the Estate, who are certain it's a Thriller outtake, use an Off The Wall version of Mike doing very 70's disco era moves.
Well, if it's Track 17 that Youtube theory was true, which is the tracklist pretty much filled out right?
Bit disappointed unless you don't own the ultimate collection
Man in the Music also states that “Got the Hots” was co-written by Michael and Quincy (it wasn’t), that the vocals for “One More Chance” were recorded during the Invincible sessions (they weren’t), that “I Have This Dream” from the Invincible sessions is the same song as the Hurricane Katrina charity single (it’s not), and a horde of other incorrect pieces of info. Joe Vogel has some great sources, but both editions of his book are rife with errors.
Shameful. Expecting us to pay 25 $ for like two new songs. I hope this product doesn't sell. Then maybe they'll realize they have to cater to fans instead of trying to fool casuals into buying another copy of Thriller for mom's Christmas stocking.new song is Sunset Driver.
Cgotr, starlight and carousel definitely will be on thriller 40 (unfortunately)
Yup. Disappointing.
Don't be stupid Chicago 1945 it's after thriller album .
Thriller era goes from 1981-1984. It's stupid to consider Victory an era.
The song was written in December 1982 and recorded in 1983, it's basically a Thriller era demo.
It is overreacting imo you and nobody else has ever heard the vocals and music for the toy and we have never heard the original music track for behind the mask either (I assume the vocals will be the same as on "Michael"). So it is 2,5 new tracks
“I don’t know the entire track list yet but I already know I want the album to fail. Even though another failed reissue might cause them to stop doing things altogether.” Jesus, you have such a pessimistic outlook of everything and anything. Let’s just wait until we see the whole product before we start writing it off. It’s still miles better than every other reissue MJ ever did, imperfect as it is.
I feel like this is a good opportunity to mention that Got The Hots sounds much better in the original japanese Thriller 25 release, the versions found on King Of Pop compilations are even louder and more compressed, don't expect too much though, Thriller 25 mastering is still ass, just not as bad as KoP.
If Teddy Riley's hint that the Estate/Sony are putting together another posthumous album is true, then Thriller40's current compilation and withholding of songs is fine by me. Yeah, I wouldn't put Can't Get Outta The Rain on Thriller 40, and I wouldn't put Sunset Driver on it either (vibe-wise, it's not Thriller to me). But if the album re-release after the fiasco around LN puts MJ back in a positive public light (Thriller is too big to cancel) the chances of a positive public reception of another posthumous album also increase. This is under the premise that the Estate/Sony show a little creativity in the promotion of Thriller40 (and possibly release a single from it, provided that e.g. "What a lovely way to go" is strong enough).
We basically know what every song on CD 2 will be by now. But hey, if paying 25 bucks for a playlist of songs you already own and could burn on a CD right now is your thing, go for it.
Eh, rather than lying i just think they don't care enough to actually write something coherent in their social media posts.
Yeah it's laughable really.
Not sure where you live but the CD copy of Thriller 40 in the USA is $14.
