I don’t know how I feel about the whole MoFi thing. They should have been transparent about their process and this leaves a lot of Audiophiles with egg on their face because their constantly blowing on about how analog is light years better than digital and how they can tell the difference, or hear the difference. Well, apparently they can’t. And they’ve been listening to MoFi releases that contain a digital step within the process for well, years. They can be quite snooty and pretentious about how they listen to music. Heck, there’s CD’s from the 80’s and 90’s that sound phenomenal and they can be bought for a pound or a dollar. All of MJ’s CD’s sound amazing IMO. The 87 Bad CD is still my preferred way to listen to that album over anything else. I haven’t cancelled my preorder for the Thriller MoFi release as of yet. I just want to celebrate MJ as much as is made available to me and this release will still sound great, although I may not even open it and keep it for display. I don’t usually buy albums for monetary investment but I was partly buying this as an option to sell at some point but with forty thousand copies available and the revelation a digital step is used, well, it probably won’t skyrocket in value. And at the same time I’m sort of glad a digital step is used because it proves to me what I’ve always suspected, that digital isn’t as inferior as a certain group of music listeners make out and that CD is a great format when done right. It's sad to hear how they deceived so many people. I was really looking forward to this release. The way I see it is just get the SACD, it will be the DSD file and one step less than the "one step" vinyl.

I’m 50/50 on whether or not to go ahead with the vinyl but am definitely leaning towards your suggestion newsboy.

Didn’t they also say something along the lines of “loads of surprises to come this year” or something like that? Are they waiting until Halloween or something? 😂

Yeah there’s nothing really to get excited by right now. Once they unveil the bonus tracks and anything extra during the campaign, hopefully things get more interesting!

I like that; “Once they unveil the bonus tracks” I picture them pulling a big red curtain back unveiling 2 bonus tracks to the sound of crickets. 😂🤣😭🤦🏻♂️

I really can't see anything other than the CD and some compressed HD videos on Youtube happening. I know I shouldn't be (it's the MJ Estate) but I'm still kinda staggered that this is what we're getting for Thriller's 40th anniversary.

But it’s pretty lame. The fact that they took no real time or effort makes one sigh with bewilderment.

The only Thriller related thing I'm interested in is the MOT and that's it. If that doesn't come out, bet yer ass I won't be buying yet another Thriller CD!
