Hot take: I don’t like the song “Thriller”

[Kyle C. Barker]

Alright.


Now repent and say something nice about the rest of the album

 

[boogers]

its not my favorite, but the video elevates it. the full album is great tho

 

[Lord_nikon]

 

[RiverCity916]

Ill watch the video on mute. Least favorite MJ song

 

[Windows 91]

Thriller is a good song but Lady in my Life will always be the best song on that album

 

[boogers]

i admit i hate the way 80s synth brass sounds, but those old synths sound awesome to me

dated, but awesome. id love to play with that studio. ill bet they had EVERYTHING

 

[Apollo Kid]

The original demo was fire

 

[Deltron]

that nap's daddy?

So yall just going to have these hot takes and not explain how/why Thriller is not a good song… in your opinions, of course.

Opinions are like elbows and a$$holes. Damn near everybody has one. Nowadays the internet let's us hear opinions from any and everybody with a feed of sorts.

OP you only say that cuz you've heard it a million times and it's on the biggest selling album in history.
If it was just a random came and went hit I could agree on some it's actually wack (ice ice baby, wang chung tonight, C&C factory type catchy wack shyt)
But Thriller has that extra something that other hits don't have
it just moves you. I don't know how else to put it.

only criticisms I have are

1. michael didn’t write it
2. regarding the guy that did…it sounds a little bit too much like boogie nights and off the wall…not exactly bad but it’s a thing

 

[BlackMajik]

I'm so disappointed in you

 

[Pazzy]

If we are being real, its the weakest song on the album. I can see why people like the song but to me, its overrated as a song. Its really okay.

 

[Big Boss]

So yall just going to have these hot takes and not explain how/why Thriller is not a good song… in your opinions, of course.

Because it's not a good song
