Thriller 40th Anniversary

Hess said:
Thriller was released november 30th.

Why is T40 not released on November 30th ? - is there anything special about november 18th? Or is it just a coincedence and close enough?
I do not care about the date, just curious if there are any thoughts behind the date.

Because music industry decided to change that practice.

The new global release day known as Global Release Day (or New Music Fridays) went into effect on July 10th, 2015.

This means that albums get an official release on Fridays, and not on Thuesdays.

It is interesting though that this new global release day reportedly originated from the American female singer Beyoncé who first released her 'Beyoncé' album on Friday (on December 13th, 2013).
 
Hi.
For those interested in this, I managed to find the leaked Qobuz 24bit/44k rip and ran it (the 9 original tracks only) in Foobar's DR meter.
The result is an average 9. It's a little better than Qobuz's Thriller 25 in 24/96 which scores an average 8 but it's probably very similar.
It's a matter of how music is listened these days : loud. I Think it's sad but to each his own I guess.
Personnally, listening my music on a Headphone setup, I'll stick with the original Japanese CD pressing (DR15) and the SACD version (DR14).
For those not familiar with what Dynamic Range is, I recommend to do some reading about it.
 
Hey guys,

I remember I saw MJ with the same pull in a documentary where footage from the studio were shown. Was it on Quincy Jones's doc ?

I am sorry i have to repeat this again but, the original 9 tracks only ARE USING THE 2014 REMASTER, which means that the only thing that got remastered here was Disc 2 tracks.

I think it's probably because this is likely one of the two extra videos. The other one will probably be the same thing with another song.

I can understand that, but the estate never announced the five new videos; mkgenie leaked their existence, so it’s not as though they promised us something they didn’t deliver on.

I dunno. As much as I am let down by T40, this seems like people choosing to pile on, especially given the criticism toward the estate’s lack of creativity. This is one of the cooler, more interesting things they’ve done and, while nobody’s forced to enjoy it, it seems like a silly thing to be upset about.

I dunno, I just don't find lyric videos interesting in the slightest and would rather the videos were something else.

I am sorry I made you repeat this. Been outta the loop lately :)
Still it doesn't hurt to compare DR values
 
Now, MJ's official YouTube channel is slowly uploading Thriller 40 audio tracks.

For sure, was not trying to be rude, it's just that it is pretty pointless to do that when the estate went the lazy way and decided not to actually do a new remaster.

Technically disc 2 is not remastered because it’s not even mastered properly lol.

Lmao haha, i guess we can say that.
 
Why release a lyric video of a single which was previously a top ten hit. I was hoping they would release a single using a song that had no single release.
