The 1982 album was also a success from which the pop superstar never really recovered - subsequent albums seemed to have no other goal than to beat the records set by \u003cem\u003eThriller\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe highly polished sound of Quincy Jones's production sounds almost organic compared to Jackson's more recent work, and in the same regard, \u003cem\u003eThriller\u003c\/em\u003e was significantly slicker than its predecessor, \u003cem\u003eOff the Wall\u003c\/em\u003e. Both albums established a Jackson style that aimed for the dance floor with songs built on a state-of-the-art bed of percussion and keyboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElements of milestone \u003cem\u003eThriller\u003c\/em\u003e tracks like \"\u003cem\u003eBillie Jean\u003c\/em\u003e\" (arguably Jackson's best-ever performance) and \"\u003cem\u003eBeat It\u003c\/em\u003e\" (with its hard-rock solo by guitarist Eddie Van Halen) influenced not just Jackson's records, but those of the entire dance-pop world. On the song \"\u003cem\u003eThriller\u003c\/em\u003e\", Jackson indulged his taste for the juvenile and invited Vincent Price to rap in a really scary voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cem\u003eThriller\u003c\/em\u003e the album, Jackson created a different kind of monster - a hit album of such magnitude that it would have an irrevocable impact not just on the singer's art, but on his altogether kooky life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eclipse Records","offers":[{"title":"Red \u0026 Black Marble Vinyl LP","offer_id":57416717500794,"sku":"19958461121","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/9534\/1913\/files\/slm-168821.jpg?v=1792065712","url":"https:\/\/eclipse-records.co.uk\/products\/michael-jackson-thriller-2026-reissue","provider":"Eclipse Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
