Do people still listen to the demos on disc 2? Ngl, The Toy and Who Do You Know are the only songs I go back to, the rest I didn't give much of a thought after the album's release.

I don't, not even She's Trouble even though that was the song i waited for the most.
 
I listen to The Toy but that's it. I think if the sound quality is better but I might have but yeah it all sounds quite bad.

She's Trouble is the one on repeat since for me. Who Do You Know a couple of times and that's about it.
 
I still like Who Do You Know but haven't really gone back to the Thriller 40 album. Actually, I am now hooked on listening to "slowed & reverb" fan made mixes of songs from the Thriller album.
 
I give Who Do You Know regular listens. I put it in a playlist with lots of contemporary songs with good harmonies and it wins as far as favorable stack ups go.

I listen to the Toy and Best of Joy together. It's the only way. I do the same with both versions of Behind The Mask. I've been playing that song ever since it came out though. I just listened to Sunset Driver the other day too. And Starlight


Otherwise, I play the Long Version of Billie Jean, the edit of Human Nature, and the PYT demo. The disc 3 content is pretty useful.

And off of disc 1, I've been playing Baby Be Mine way more.

Otherwise, it's all Thriller leaks.

I listened to Disc 2 for the first time in months yesterday and I'm still convinced WALWTG is from the mid 70's. Mike's voice sounds so young and those background adlibs ("hurt so many times" around 3.06) sound like he did when he did Destiny

On the whole Disc 2 isn't bad but the audio quality is so poor for an official release.

I still listen to Who Do You Know regularly, it gives me This Is It and I'm So Blue vibes
 
I have to say the last few months I have not been listening to a lot of MJ, maybe 4 to 5 songs a week.

Dreams away and Chicago 1945 I have listened to less than 5 times in total.

Who Do You Know is the only song I listen to because that was one of the first songs I read about being an outtake from Thriller.....I heard The Toy some years ago and wasn't impressed......WALWTG was nice on the first listen but I don't think I've went back to listen again.....the rest are songs we had for years.

How’d you hear The Toy early

Several people have heard The Toy for years. I think it was actually registered into the Library of Congress before Thriller 40 was released.

It's probably easier to get access to because it was for a soundtrack? Interesting it didn't end up on the Ultimate Collection.

The official Twitter account of MJ has lost its blue checkmark, btw.

Some celebs are paying to keep theirs, aren't they? Found this tweet.

"MJ Estate to cheap and lazy to pay for a verified blue checkmark. Bad enough they release a new song/Album every 4-5 years. Joke. "Michael" 2010, Xscape 2014, Scream 2017, Thriller 40 2022. It's honestly pathetic."

I only play Who Do You Know from time to time. Especially the fan made version of the song by the Channel Qualitymixes on YouTube.

I think you’re spot on mate. Especially those parts when he sings “give me a chance babe”. Those Adlibs sounds like they’re straight from the destiny era.

WALWTG is from 76. I still don't get how his estate tried to pass this off as Thriller.

I am embarrassed that people waste their time with this blue checkmark crap. I am not mad about this at all.

Fair point. :ROFLMAO:

Not on Twitter myself so I don't pay attention to the blue tick stuff. Still think it's slightly odd that MJE haven't paid for the thing to continue. But I have no idea if it really matters plus, y'know, MJE. They're just weird, lol.
