Almost at the anniversary of Thriller 40. How many of the tracks have made your rotation? Whens the last time you listened the whole way through?
Overall opinion on the project?
I listen to Trouble and Behind The Mask the most but it's really a poor release, worthy of the special and deluxe editions of albums youd find in the 00s. I definitely think it was a "test the waters" release. They put very little effort/money into promotion to see how much damage had been done. Made the top 20 in many countries so it was a success considering it had minimal promotion.
They are saving it all for Thriller 50

Load of old shite really weren't it? Kinda. But we got a questionable quality Carousel, so....

I enjoyed it for what it was.

It never fails to amaze and disappoint me in equal measures how they can't get somebody to properly mix and master his unreleased stuff. The mastering on the second disc of Xscape was shockingly bad - I've heard better versions on Youtube. And I'm no audiophile....

It just made me appreciate his quality control even more.
In all fairness I don't play anything from Bad 25 except Streetwalker.
It's a nice to have.

I really appreciate your consistency with this TBH. Streetwalker will always be the #1 non album song for me but I have at least an album worth of unreleased "official" tracks that I dip into.

And the original leak of Carousel is way better than the released version. A fan would do the quality assurance work for free.

In terms of any non released track that is anywhere near his album quality...(Invincible aside) Only: Sunset Driver Streetwalker Are anywhere near the mark If You Don't Love Me always makes me smile as well though. Obviously, We've Had Enough and all the Xscape tracks would have made Invincible for me.

His unreleased songs are great, but Thriller 40 extra tracks underwhelmed me for sure, though who do you love and what a lovely way to go finally grew on me recently

I would change anything on Bad or Dangerous for it though.

Shit show from top to bottom lol. I still listen to The Toy regularly but that's it.
Sounds absolutely rancid and I'm pretty sure they do it on purpose at this point.
