Should several of the tracks on the 25th anniversary edition of Thriller find their way onto your MP3 player, you're going to have to admit: the music holds up. "Beat It" is not about to go stale, at least not without a rumble, and neither are "Billie Jean" and "P.Y.T." Even if you put the record-hurtling hits aside, you're still left with the realization that without MJ, there might not have been a JT [Justin Timberlake], never mind a Ne-Yo (listen closely to "Human Nature" and "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'"). The bonus DVD bundled with the expanded CD includes a digitally redone version of the famous title-track video, among other clips, and it still astonishes with its choreography and attitude. As for the new tracks--Fergie inserts herself into "Beat It," Will.i.am takes on "The Girl Is Mine" and "P.Y.T.," Kanye West remixes "Billie Jean" (with characteristically subtle brilliance), Akon duets with M-Jack on "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," and the unreleased ballad "For All Time" (from the original Thriller sessions) is shined up and tacked on--they will suck you in like it was pop music's hugest year, 1983, all over again. Start brushing up on your moonwalk now. --Tammy La Gorce

Wanna Be Startin Somethin is an explosive fast-paced disc opener unleashing a frenetic, kinetic dance groove. Beats aside, the perceptive lyrics by MJ reveal awareness of the dubious nature of the people around him. He jabs the listener with assurances that he is nobody's fool and can cut through manipulative excuses like nobody's business.
Baby Be Mine is a sweet mid-tempo R&B love song by Rod Temperton with delightful backing vocals.
The Girl is Mine is pure bland cornball outdone in lameness only by the Paul McCartney-authored Girlfriend from OFF THE WALL. But MJ liked The Girl Is Mine enough to write it and invite McCartney along to help him sing it, so listeners can either have to love it or skip it.
Thriller is Rod Temperton's exploration of the darkness inside the self as well as the world around. Upsetting to religious groups who tend to forget about the most frightening nightmare ever put into words--The Book of Revelations--MJ's lead and multi-track backing vocals blend seamlessly, interrupted only by Vincent Price's gimmicky rap.
Written by MJ, Beat It reveals MJ's effort to appeal beyond the urban audience to capture lovers of lead guitar riffs by Eddie Van Halen, plus his appeal to pacifism over violence, plus his increased songwriting skills that showcase the ability to tell stories through lyrical expression. Massive radio and video airplay caused further seismic shifts in the pop world.
An excellent follower to Beat It, Billie Jean is another MJ composition whose demo (included in this package) proves that even at this early stage in his career, MJ's songwriting and ability to arrange instrumentation were solid. Another fascinating story inside MJ's world, dominated by a destructive out-of-control groupie who causes legal and media mayhem with her lies and wishful thinking. Sexy, complex, excellent, instantly-recognizable with the first few notes.
Human Nature is a song written by members of the soft rock group, Toto. The lyrics describe wonderment at city lights and nightlife and an acceptance of a man's place in that world. Absolutely beautiful synth arrangements around MJ's soft lead and strong backing vocals.
P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) was silly upon release and remains silly today. Fortunately not written by MJ, but instead contributed by James Ingram and Quincy Jones. MJ's own Carousel (demo included in this package) likely should have taken its place, but at this early point in his career, he probably had to go along to get along with Jones. Backing vocals by Ingram and Howard Hewitt (of Shalimar). Janet and LaToya on the na na nas.
The Lady in My Life is a gorgeous, lush, sexy adult assurance of lasting love well-written by ever-reliable Rod Temperton. This fortunate rescue from P.Y.T. closes the album on a high note.
BONUS TRACKS: The Billie Jean and Carousel home demos are a revelation of young MJ's intelligence, talent, and musicianship plus the high level of his contributions to THRILLER, not as a product of Jones, but as a full participant in the creative process. Carousel, in particular, sounds delightful. Also includes interviews of Jones.
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.
