Thriller
Might just as well take this horror opportunity and proclaim that Michael Jackson is the only musical figure so far which has truly impressed me with his career and his political messages he gave towards them.
Thriller as an album remains the best selling one in the history of the music industry, for it has world favorite songs including Beat It and The Girl Is Mine, but seeming as we are in the month of October, let's concentrate on the namesake song Thriller.
Having been produced as an obvious horror setting, it features Michael in a narrative feature, before it changes into a choreographed dance routine song with the genres Disco and Funk popping out, while director John Landis handled the music video itself, most well known for An American Werewolf in London.
The zombies following Jackson's lead is the most famous moment of the whole deal, and it's a nice touch that Vincent Price also included his voice with one of if not the most famous evil laugh in horror history.
Furthermore, the lyrics, the effects, the sounds and themes all support of it being a thriller night, a tenseful scary nightmare happening, and it ends with a questionable ending for the narration, revealing that Michael was a werewolf all along.
Thriller is a brave direction for somehow making it all work impressively without giving the impression that it's a comical situation we are dealing with here. It's also at this moment the very first song I have ever reviewed.
I'm not sure even sure how to rate songs or albums yet. Will I go for 4 stars(****), a scale from 1 to 10, or something different? Who knows, I just might start reviewing even more mediums in the future.
