HIStory is indeed a masterpiece yet 4 of the era’s best songs were released on a damn remix album ready to be forgotten.

HIStory is indeed a masterpiece yet 4 of the era’s best songs were released on a damn remix album ready to be forgotten.

The best selling remix album of all time.

You can really make the case that each album is the best produced,based on a different criteria.

My answer would also be HIStory. And I feel it is a doggone crime that Bruce Swedien has not even been mentioned yet in this thread! The man’s instrumental for the soundscapes we’ve come to expect from Michael Jackson.

And when it comes to production, Michael Jackson fans are severely spoiled. Really, you can’t go wrong with any of his Epic albums (and the Motown albums are top-notch, too).

Production wise - the way the songs are put togehter, the sounds, the final mixing etc. - I would say HIStory.

Keep in mind that the 'Thriller' album has an additional advantage in this regard.

As American audio engineer Bernie Grundman revealed, this album had the best and most expensive mastering ever done on any album.

Note that mastering (being the final step of the post-production process) is very crucial when it comes to how the final mix of the album sounds.

So, the best and most expensive mastering balances the elements of the final mix (on the album) for optimal playback across all mediums and formats in the best way.

That is also why, the 'Thriller' album is chosen not only by many Michael Jackson fans but also by many casual listeners as the best-produced album ever.

What is Michael's best produced album as in quality, sound, production value, everything?

Off The Wall and Thriller sound the best to me, production-wise. At least my old CDs do.

What makes it soo good and to be the best?

Master musicians. Live instrumentation. Old-fashioned recording techniques.
