    The Thriller album helped reinvigorate the music industry. It deserves to be called the best selling album of all time.

    Thriller was made in mind to have (arguably) every track a hit, and they damn did!

    Man what can be said that hasn't already been said regarding THRILLER. This album was and is the greatest selling album ever and MJ broke the mold when this was created for so many artists including his peers. We still owe this album so much respect and gratitude for what it did for MJ, our favorite artists, and us individually.

    Truly a music industry stimulus package, as credited by Michael himself. An album where there were no b-sides but rather 7 top ten pop hit singles, brilliant cross-marketing with the McCartney duets, the advent of MTV and their initial reluctance to feature a black solo video until they provided like a million-five for the making of Thriller, and lastly the Motown 25 show.

    I took a masterclass with Ndugu Chancellor back in the late 90s and he talked about recording this track. He mentioned that he was using a prototype Remo Kevlar head on the snare…which to me explains a lot of that iconic snare sound.

    Excellent overview of this landmark in time and popular culture. Is there any behind the scenes video of Michael laying down the vocal tracks during the recording of the album? I find the "creation" of music or an incredible album fascinating.

    His Album was intended to be smooth follow up to his first but was so good it got re-issued after it was making massive sales! It had everything on it! For me there were only 2 Albums I could listen to all the way through at that time Thriller & 1999 when they came out ! And a year or two earlier it was Rick James Street Songs

    Here's a curiosity: Michael Jackson used to demo his songs all with his voice; that means drum beats and orchestration were recorded on a cassette player all by his voice.
    Check out the video "Beat it (Demo)" here on UA-cam, it's kind of funny.

    The takeaway is the amount of people that worked on this album. Even Michael's later albums didn't have this amount of session musicians and you can tell

    Odd seeing a brown Micheal before the bleaching and heavy facial reconstruction. Helluva artist. The audio quality for his records is just awe inspiring.
    Also wild to see how black artists were ignored on music charts.

    My favorite channel. I’m trying to figure out which snare Leon Chancler played on Billie Jean. It sounds like an Acrolite, but probably a wood snare was used. The hoop in that picture is brass.

    • @mixingmasteringonline
      @mixingmasteringonline  3 дні тому +1

      Thank you! I don’t think that’s Leon’s set up as it was a picture Bruce shared later on to show what he did. It’s a great snare sound either way but it would be great to know what it was.

      As far as the album being written by someone else, Michael definitely contributed to over half of those songs in the songwriting process. But yes, there were other songwriters on the album. It's not rare at all for music to be made in a collaborative kind of way
