Thriller
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'What can you say? This album is the best selling of all time, and it;s obvious why! MJ wanted to become the biggest and wealthiest singer in the world and boy did he pull that off with this album. Perfection - a blend of diferent genres into one, top notch writing (including 3 of the best songs written by Jackson himself, untouchabe production (by Quincy Jones, helped by many many talented musicians, including members of Toto). The only song that doesn;t live up to the standart of the rest of the album is "The girl is mine" (duet with Paul McCartney) that just sounds out of place - it\'s not bad but it\'s not nearly as good as the rest of the album. You\'ve got dancing songs, ballads, a little bit if everything. A must have for any music fan. This is a masterpiece that doesnt sound dated even 37 years later.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Man, what was I waiting on!!! Added to my list then purchased a couple weeks later. This album is phenomenal! Not only are all the songs classics, the record case makes a great display (as shown in the photos). The record also includes all lyrics to all the songs. This is when the music industry actually gave the consumer a lot of value. Records sound great. No reason to skip or fast foward on this album, everything is great!\n\nOne of the best purchases of the year. Don't waste time and buy this album. You won't be disappointed. Michael Jackson is the great artist of all time, hands down!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'HOLY COW! When I initially purchased this vinyl, I assumed it would be a plain black record, with a standard label... BOY WAS I WRONG! When it came in, I quickly opened the packaging to reveal an AWESOME picture vinyl! The quality of the music when played is immaculate. If you haven\'t dove into "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, you are doing yourself a disservice, as this album is CHOCK FULL of hits that were all over the radio in the 80s (and even today!)'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I love the thriller era of Michael Jackson this is his second solo album from him and has an early 80s disco pop feel to it. he also has number one songs such as thriller, starting something, human nature, beat it, billie jean, p.y.t. and the girl is mine. he has many grammy awards for this album and this was the album that had made Michael Jackson famous and number one and one of the best pop artists in the world. Not ony was he a genius dancer but he was a music genius. He will always be remembered and always be a music legend. Pop music will never be the same again. It is ashamed how music is a disgrace today. Like I said music will never be the same again. R.I.P Michael Jackson Your music will always live on forever in our hearts.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This should absolutely be a 5 star review, but the B side of the album has 7 major skips in one track. That aside, the sound quality is extraordinary! I heard background music nuances that just can’t be heard on digital music. The vocals are rich and layered, and of course this album is an all time classic. Love buying my vinyl from Amazon because of the great customer service. Within minutes of requesting a replacement, I received a confirmation that I will have it in 2 days. That’s days ahead of when my return will be received. Amazon rocks!\n\nUpdated on 1/6/19. Received my replacement copy and it is skip free, so I changed my review to 5 stars. Keep in mind, if you want the finest possible audio; by regular vinyl. I also own the normal 5th Anniversity edition of this album and the sound is definitely superior. That is to be expected when compared to a picture disc. That said, as a picture disc collectible, the audio is excellent.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I bought this album for my son for Christmas and he was very disappointed that it’s skipped. So I returned it for a replacement. The replacement skips too! I would return this one but I’m afraid it will just keep happening over and over again. I think they were trying to be a little too cute by putting a picture on the actual vinyl which makes it not run as smoothly. I wish I could just get my money back.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Just like the sticker states on the front of the CD, Thriller is still the world\'s best selling CD, And yes the Eagles did pass "Thriller" in the U.S. as far album sales go in America with "Their Greatest Hits", The music on "Thriller" sounds fresh as if it was made today and not 40 years ago, My favorite songs on here are all of the hit singles "Thriller", "Beat it", (Both number 1 hits) "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing), "Wanna be startin\' somethin\'", "Human Nature", And of course "Billie Jean", The one song I didn\'t like as much and the weakest song on the album "The Girl is mine" (Ft. Paul McCartney), Thriller is very much a must own for any Michael Jackson fan or fans of good music in general, This CD is nearly flawless with the album produced by Legendary producer Quincy Jones, Thanks Amazon!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have been into jazz since I was 17. Introduced by a friend of my cousin to George Benson\'s White Rabbit on a beautiful McIntosh sound system. He made me a cassette copy on a Yamaha wedge deck and it was an introduction to both jazz and serious high fidelity for me. I have been a stereophile ever since and when I heard Thriller for the first time I was blown away by the quality and and the dynamics of the recording process. I am now 63 and it still is one of my favorite albums of all time. I have a vintage 80\'s Onkyo TX5000 65 watt per channel receiver and Mordaunt-Short Festival III speakers with a Mitsubishi 100 watt 7 and 1/2 " subwoofer. It sounds great with this album! Another album I love on this system is Buddy Rich the Best Band I ever had which I got as a direct to disc album in the late 70\'s.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Who doesn't love MJ!?\n\nMy fiance' got this for me for Christmas and of coursed I about freaked out when I saw it. The album cover is in amazing condition and with it being the anniversary edition, it is even better. The sound quality is really good! This is the album that I leave out on a stand beside my turn table, just because it looks that good!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I've always loved the Thriller album and actually I thought it would be more expensive because of Billie Jean crossing the 1billion mark (no ideas, lol). Anyways, I didn't realize just how many great songs were on here. With the exception of Thriller, which, I still listen to every year for Halloween when giving out candy to the kids, I was so happy to see Human Nature on here. Also, one of my favorites is on here as well The lady in my life. This is/was really a great album."}]
