Mathias-S, Jul 18, 2005

You can call it pop,synth-pop or disco. Eventhough disco had it days in
the end of the 70's this can be called disco. Compared with "Off The Wall" from 1979,
Thriller has less percussions and more synthesizers. Nice FM-sounds blended with Jacksons
incredible voice gave him worldwide fame. In my opinion this is the best pop-album ever
released by any artist. The bassline in the song "Thriller" is simply mindblowing.

The music-video Thriller (the tune) started a new era in the industry. It was more or less a beginning of a new market.
