1001 Albums Summary

Love him or hate him, this album slaps. It's infectiously catchy. This album reeks of "the 80s" and yet it sounds unlike any other 80s music. Unless you've lived under a rock you've definitely heard some of the songs here, no matter how old you are. The drums and the bass definitely do a lot of lifting to make the songs in this album stand out, alongside Micheal's iconic voice. The song Thriller is definitely a standout for me. I've listened to it my entire life and yet it still sounds fresh. And of course we've got Van Halen absolutely shredding it on Beat It, cause why not, right? Micheal and the people involved know their people well, and everyone involved are absolute perfectionists, and it shows all the way through the album. 4.5/5 I think. Great album
