I would still argue it is. Even with all the dropped balls and failures, Thriller 40 is still giving us a better and more interesting selection of content than Thriller 25 did. (Plus, NO REMIXES!)
I'm not sure about that. It's true that T25 was a disgrace in every way, but the trend for sound quality is that it is worse with each release, so barring an upset, for fans it will most probably not be worth getting anyway.
The only thing I'm interested in is the Mo-Fi SACD. I will probably never buy anything from Sony ever again.
young people do not wanna see ugly YT videos on their 65" screen. They want 4K sharp picture.
Huh? Kids don't have a 65 inch screen, lol. The latest iPhone is closer to 6.5 inches.
There will be two immersive experiences.
I wish they hadn't used that word. "Immersive" is the record industry's new word for surround sound. Therefore this is misleading - there is no 5.1 or Atmos mix of Thriller :-(
Is the SACD limited edition or just the Mo-Fi vinyl?
I wouldn't worry what's "limited edition" or not. Technically everything is limited edition.
I'd buy the SACD as quickly as you can though. I think they said 40,000 copies. Most likely they will all be sold by release.
Like, I still find it strange that people are clamouring for 4K picture quality, but they don't want equivalent high sound quality...
I can’t wrap my head around this. How different can it sound, why was it recorded like that if people were never able to listen to all the details till now?
You know all those Grammys it won? Two of them were for Production and Engineering. It's an album with excellent sound quality. Just like all the discussion in this thread about video transfers, so the audio transfer can make a big difference. Technology is getting better all the time.
A video of a performance of one of the thriller songs from the victory tour maybe?
ie Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' or Human Nature.
