Another great one from MJ, while I think it is weaker than his previous two sonically there are still some incredibly high highs here with some of his best songs (Smooth Criminal, D.D., etc) I think it is a bit less great then the others so far as an album but it is still one I could see myself going back to all the tracks at some point.
I can’t decide whether I like this or OTW more, both display Michaels talent in distinct yet similar ways at the same time while leaving you feeling satisfied. Thriller has some of his best production and songwriting of his career (especially the title track, I mean sheesh) and because of that you can see why this album is as highly regarded as it is.
Michael really went 10 for 10, I will be going back to every track here because each has something great to offer and you can tell how much passion was put into each song, this album is one of the few that I would truly call timeless despite disco losing it’s popularity over time.
These songs sounded like every drake r&b song ever but with absolutely nothing that make said songs good back in his heyday, this is the one I expected to be the best because it was the shortest but he managed to bore me in that 40 minutes more than he ever did on any of his other projects.
There were a few good songs and it started and ended well but like every drake album as of late, quantity over quality is how I would describe this.
