 Must Have Keepsake Feb 01, 2010
This is a must have for any Micheal fan. Your collection is not complete without this one. Even if you have all his greatest hits cd's, you must include this.
 Love Thriller!! Dec 08, 2009
I listened to the Thriller album as a child and loved it. I had a CD but it was missed placed. I kept putting off buying one until now. LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!!
Can't go wrong here Nov 30, 2009
Micheal set the standard with this one. After dazzling us with "Off the Wall", he blazed us with "Thriller". I'm so glad I got this from Amazon.

"King of Pop" Too Late/Too Early Nov 09, 2009
I remember being in a record shop when `Thriller' arrived in the stores. Vinyl was taken for granted back then when rumors of C.D.'s with disks and lasers from Japan were filtering into our remote imaginations. I was going to buy another album. I can't even remember which one. What I do remember was seeing a poster for 'Thriller' on my way out, and thinking for the first time, by whim or intuition, of seriously buying a Michael Jackson album for the first time. Something told me I was witnessing an event, an opportunity to capture an instant classic. Something big and momentous was being heralded on my way out the door.
A short time later I was electrified to hear "Billie Jean" from the radio of a dorm stereo during my junior year of college. In one fell swoop, Michael Jackson not only proved that disco wasn't dead, he proved it didn't suck, either. It didn't take me long to assess the song as among the very best of the eighties. Actually, it turns out to be one of the best ever. Lingering throughout 1983, the songs from 'Thriller' could be heard from every stereo, every car radio, and significantly, from every TV set. MTV was at its zenith back then. It had debuted two years earlier redefining pop music as we know it. Putting in the craftsmanship, time, talent, (and, yes money) necessary, MJ redefined it again, elevating the stature of music videos from mediocre advertisements to full blown works of art.
Variety is a key component of every masterpiece, and with the able hand of producer Quincy Jones, Jackson blended the best of every category. He also tapped into talents from Van Halen to rock out on "Beat It," an infectious song with some great advice that only seems suitable from Jackson's pen and discerning ability to sort out a conflicted conscience. Soul and pop were expertly laid down with the reverberating energy of "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" as well as the superbly sweet "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" and "Human Nature". How can one forget the playful nuances, like the late Vincent Price's recitation in the middle-end of the title track?
`Thriller' was a showcase for a remarkably multi-talented musician and performer. His video work, dance routines, singing, choreography, and songwriting were all hallmark. There were other masterworks, too, such as 'Off the Wall,' but 'Thriller' single-handedly earned him the title "King of Pop".
Sadly, heavy wears the crown that such a king bore. It didn't surprise me that the entire summer of 2009 was devoted to him. Like Elvis (significantly, the king of rock) John Lennon, and Marvin Gaye before him, the King of Pop was taken away from us early--only to leave us to grieve once more for a sensational talent who brought us so much joy in such a short lifetime.
