It looks like a low key cheap re-release from the mid 90s which I kind of like.
I'm just glad it's not plastered with BIGGEST SELLING ALBUM OF ALL TIME as if it's the most important aspect of the album.

I assume the slipcase will be super sparkly in person. Should attract peoples eye I guess π€·ββοΈ

I like that they went with the slipcase idea, with the original cover underneath. I suppose it's supposed to represent the sequinned glove. It's not mind blowing, but it's good enough. It looks professional at least! And far far far far better than the crap they were originally going to go with. You think so? I do not really get that vibe from it. The texture looks more like TV static than an MJ glove.

It's showing the original cover now on US Amazon. I got an "uh-oh" on link previous page.

I don't really get why they're even doing a Thriller 40. In ten years, it'll be 50yrs which is a way bigger deal and then what? A third anniversary edition? They should've held off for Thriller 50 and released something new for the anniversaries of Dangerous, HIStory or Invincible or even another posthumous album.
My guess is they're playing it safe with his first release post-LN, but I'd be surprised if there's anything genuinely exciting for the hard-core fanbase with this release.

I mean, thriller 50 would have been the exact same thing, we'd still have the shitty cover and still be complaining about the same things. Same estate so it really doesn't matter

It shows the old version again at Amazon now. Probably was just a fan hacking in via a seller account with his update. And now it's been undone.

Wow. Is this the first time the estate have ever actually listened to us and taken what we have to say onboard? I'm shocked. Confirmed answer - NO

Greg was present during the Q&A after MJ One last night, and he spoke a bit about Behind The Mask and they played a bit of his version. Possible that it will be included in Thriller 40.
