Best I can give you is some lyric vids. In 4K of course, we care about quality and stuff.

A ****** lyric video?! For a 40 + year old song on an anniversary release?!! If Branca’s Angela Lansbury looking ass doesn’t retire soon I swear to god! You could’ve given us a Victory Tour performance of WBSS in HD or studio footage or SOMETHING that requires effort but NOOOPE! You pump out something irrelevant and ridiculous with weird anime like animation that looks like you just paid a random guy on Fivrr like 60 bucks to make. Thanks for finally giving us the 4ks that was unexpected and much appreciated but everything else man…. You suck so hard!
 
I think the worst thing about this whole release is that they just forgot about The Girl Is Mine' 2008 single release, and the demo. And even the stupid club mix.
 
Heard the Dolby Atmos mix of Thriller album on Apple music. It's a great mix, with lovely sound mixing on the atmos version.

Is there any way of getting this without having an Apple Music subscription? I use Spotify and didn't fancy paying for both services. Currently using the Apple Music trial which I probably won't extend as I prefer Spotify.

Dolby Atmos is currently available only via Apple Music with certain outputs.

E.g. I can run it fine on my Airpods 3, but I can't run it via Airplay 2 on my soundbar. I'd need to log in to my smart tv, access Apple Music app (if available) and have the soundbar (one that supports Dolby Atmos) connected to it via a HDMI/eARC port.

So I doubt you'd do much even if you find a way to download it.
 
don't bother, check the Queen Annyversary release that also dropped today, it's fantastic!

John Branca is the greatest entertainer the world has ever seen.

He penned classic hits such as Billie Jean, Beat it, BAD, Smooth Criminal, Earth Song and Blues Away 👀

His singing and dancing abilities are unmatched and his performances all around the world are simply legendary.

All hail the King of Pop John Branca.
 
So at a quick first listen and compare of the regular Thriller on Tidal premium, I compared Baby Be Mine fairly quickly and it looks like while loud, Thriller 40 visually has better dynamics. I wish they would have brightened Michael's BG's in WBSS 2008. Still my favorite remix from Thriller25 and one I listen to regularly and consider MJ canon.
 
I got Qobuz 16 bit and 24 bit versions. Compared Wanna Be Starin' Somethin' and Baby Be Mine. It uses the 2008 mastering. Which is not a good one... (correction: waveforms seems slightly better in Thriller 40 than 2008, but sound very similar to me.)

I hate to moan but I think this disc 2 cheapens Thriller - some of the songs are of a very poor standard.

They should have used genuine Thriller outtakes. Hot Street, Niteline and whatever else was considered at the time even if there was just 3 or 4 tracks, the song quality would have been better.

Fair enough Carousel/ she's trouble and BTM is there, that should have been it along with the ones I mentioned.

CGOTR and Sunset Driver (although good track) has no right to be on Thriller.
