HMV Review

Off the Wall was a massive success, spawning four Top Ten hits (two of them number ones), but nothing could have prepared Michael Jackson for Thriller. Nobody could have prepared anybody for the success of Thriller, since the magnitude of its success was simply unimaginable — an album that sold 40 million copies in its initial chart run, with seven of its nine tracks reaching the Top Ten (for the record, the terrific "Baby Be Mine" and the pretty good ballad "The Lady in My Life" are not like the others). This was a record that had something for everybody, building on the basic blueprint of Off the Wall by adding harder funk, hard rock, softer ballads, and smoother soul — expanding the approach to have something for every audience. That alone would have given the album a good shot at a huge audience, but it also arrived precisely when MTV was reaching its ascendancy, and Jackson helped the network by being not just its first superstar, but first black star as much as the network helped him. This all would have made it a success (and its success, in turn, served as a new standard for success), but it stayed on the charts, turning out singles, for nearly two years because it was really, really good. True, it wasn't as tight as Off the Wall — and the ridiculous, late-night house-of-horrors title track is the prime culprit, arriving in the middle of the record and sucking out its momentum — but those one or two cuts don't detract from a phenomenal set of music.

    輸入盤は2種類のバージョンが存在します。ボーナス・トラック込みなら発売国を問わずリマスター音源ですがボーナスト・ラック未収録のものが旧マスター音源なので音圧や音圧が劣ってしまいます。全国的に流通量は少ないですが要注意です。私は数年前に旧音源バージョンを購入した事があり後にアホらしいですが買い替えた事があります(笑)

    昔、ベスト・ヒット・USAでPVを見たことを思います。モンスターアルバムの売り上げ記録はしばらくは、塗り替えられないでしょう。オリジナルアルバムなのに、シングルカットされたのが7枚あるのは凄いです。
