Thriller: A Track By Track Review Of Michael Jackson's Greatest Album
Track 1: "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" - So much greatness stuffed into one song. I love that such an over the top song opens the album, it definitely sets the mood in the perfect way.
Track 2: "Baby Be Mine" - An under appreciated song that keeps the boogie going after the outstanding opener.
Track 3: "The Girl Is Mine" - This light hearted piece of pop fluff is easily dismissed by most. And perhaps it should be, but I still quite enjoy listening to it. Amazingly this song was actually the lead single from the album.
Track 4: "Thriller" - The ultimate Halloween pop song which is the soundtrack to the greatest music video ever. One of three songs on the album written by Rod Temperton. He also wrote "The Lady In My Life" and "Baby Be Mine."
Track 5: "Beat It" - A great rock crossover that gained Michael a lot of new fans. The inclusion of a great rock guitar solo by Eddie Van Halen was a really great idea (which I'm assuming was Michael Jackson's since he wrote this song.)
Track 6: "Billie Jean" - The last of four Michael Jackson written songs on Thriller (the first three were "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', "The Girl Is Mine," & "Beat It.") This album not only established Michael Jackson as a pop superstar, it also established him as a great songwriter.
Track 7: "Human Nature" - My favorite ballad on Thriller. In fact it may be my favorite Michael Jackson ballad ever.
Track 8: "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" - I think this song has more energy than another on the album (with the possible exception of the opener.) Like "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" it just seems to be overstuffed with awesome ideas.
Track 9: "The Lady In My Life" - I'd vote this one as my least favorite song on Thriller but I still quite like it, particularly the more danceable bits that come in after the balladry of the beginning. - 18758
