If I’m playing devil’s advocate (which you know I love to do), it could very well have been a case of them doing all of MJ’s albums and this just happened to be the one that they finished first. I don’t know the process of these things but it’s not a big issue in my eyes.
 
I love Mofi releases. A bit disappointed that this is not a Ultra-Disc One-Step release though. So not really part of the collection Off the Wall and Thriller are part of. Hopefully it will get a release like that in the future.
What’s really the difference between this remaster and the one-step releases. Because in both cases they use the original masters right?
 
Why are people complaining about 4K releases and unreleased songs when there is clearly a path to release the albums in this format? The Off The Wall and Thriller SACDs sound incredible.

Unless you have a decent stereo system setup, it's likely you are not the target audience here. This is not only aimed at MJ fans.
 
So this isn't the same as the previous mofi releases?

I assume it'll sound amazing even if it doesn't have the same name.

I read that, but what is the difference with the Thriller and off the wall releases? Because it’s much cheeper than those.

That’s exactly the point.
In the end its the most important thing that ALL of the albums get that MOFI treatment.
The order in which they release them, is not.

The the difference is that the Dangerous album was recorded differently than the albums before.
Part analog, part digitally.
So MoFi had overall a different source to begin with.
 
Aahhh how refreshing..
Mr. Grumpy being grumpy & CHEAP again..
🤣

No, what I’m saying is that nothing will ever change about how the estate operates if we keep buying whatever cheap garbage they put out.
It’s like meat—so long as people keep eating/buying it, animals will keep being killed for it.
It’s hard to understand how we can complain about the products the estate gives us, yet still support it by buying everything they sell.
It just doesn’t make sense.

Dangerous is of course not a cheap product. But the way they throw it at us is so low.
 
MoFi Releases are everything BUT cheap.

And having each of MJ’s albums in the best possible soundquality is imperial to some fans & music enthusiasts in general.
Given all the talk about „loudness war“ & the discussion of the best available vinyl & CD pressings in some threads of this very forum, this release is really nothing to snort on.
