It's here! I like it, but it's too short
What a lovely track. It just misses that anthemic chorus with that classic Queen climactic musical peak with Freddie and Roger’s harmonies toward the end. But it’s very nice.

I also like it, does feel like it's gonna take off and then doesn't though. It was probably intentional on their part that it isn't as epic but it does leave the feeling of wanting more. Absolutely!

I'm assuming/hoping the version of Too Much Love Will Kill You exclusively on the LP is the same as Made In Heaven or that's a moronic decision.
Looking forward to this though, it's up there as one of my favourites.
It's odd that they didn't include the single version of I Want It All or the Rocks version. The 12" version of Scandal FINALLY!
Also the new song is better than I expected. Its quite nice.

Oh nice. I’ve heard talking about them doing this for a while but I haven’t actually seen any announcements of it. It’s a good album, I had it on LP a while ago so I’ll check this out when it lands.

Yeah, I got this feeling too. The box set is £150 though. Which boxset is this? The Miracle The song is one of six unreleased tracks to feature in a forthcoming box set of The Miracle, four of which feature Mercury's vocals.

I really want to buy this box set. This could be my box set of the year and I’m only a casual fan. I might cancel the Thriller40 vinyl and get this CD box instead. Would that be a bit weird?

Not at all. I don’t even think there’s a vinyl for the new expanded Thriller 40 album, I think it’s literally only 2CD or digital! All vinyls just seem to be the original album reissues in one way or another hah.

The melody of the new song is very catchy. I woke up humming it.

It’s not one step, they use a digital step also which has audiophiles everywhere crying.😂 I might get that SACD, but may just get the standard 2-CD. That’s the important one I guess.

I'm assuming you already own a copy of Thriller on vinyl. Can you even tell the difference between a one-step vinyl and a normal one though? Maybe because I'm not an audiophile (and honestly, thank god) but it seems rather placebo beyond a certain point.
If I was choosing between a slightly higher quality copy of an album (that's probably imperceivable) versus a product with more content (be it the Queen boxset or Thriller 40 2CD)... yeah I'd pick the content. Especially if I already owned the album on vinyl. But that's just me.

Freddie's vocals are so passionate and poignant. It's a gem indeed.

I have a first pressing of Thriller, Thriller25, Thriller25 CD x4, Thriller25 American longbox CD, Thriller original 82 CD, Thriller on cassette and god knows what else. Yeah, I’m the same as you mate; content every time. I’ve heard noticeable differences in the sound between vinyl and CD over the years but it’s not always the case. I’ve always thought first issues of MJ’s albums are always stunning on CD. In fact CD is my all round favourite format. I could never go down the audiophile road, spending thousands on decks, amp, speakers and the whole set-up. And then paying ridiculous money for albums on vinyls. These audiophiles are after ruining the market by willingly paying stupid money on records which is driving prices up. Nothing against record collectors but some of that audiophile none sense is so pretentious. I can’t stand the Hoffman forum at times; you’ll have pages and pages of these guys measuring the BPM’s and wave lengths, and comparing for compression etc. I mean no offence intended but get a fucking life 50 year old man.😂 Or get laid! 🤣
