    The one at the top is the original.
    The following are re-issues in which they've made it louder and louder, catering for today's standards. Which SUCKS.
    Today's music is extremely compressed, over-tuned and overly mastered. Loses all its dynamics.

    I haven't got proof of Thriller but I'd be willing to bet it happens with every single album from Off The Wall to Invincible.

    I actually did a similar thread on MJJC in March regarding the Bad re issues. Nice to see confirmations on my findings.

    I’ll take that track list with a grain of salt, though.

    Place is kinda dead since 2009, but it was a lot of fun pre-2009.

    I used to browse that website A LOT between 2014 and 2016. Thank god I found hip-hop though/started listening to artists after that.
    I spent way too much time researching everything about MJ back then.

    Invincible is lowkey the worst of them. I remember how Heartbreaker and Whatever Happens clipped at certain points. And I'm sure someone on MJJC said that atleast the vinyl sounds better.

    The whole thing might not be that noticeable to the average listener though.

    You should’ve seen the new public appearances threads before 2009. When he did the curls for This Is It you’d get your feet wet from all the fangirling

    Yeah most MJ forums have been very quiet for a while. Twitter, Reddit and Discord kind of took the spotlight away from them.
    The most active forum I've seen is primarily a Black Women forum (there are men as well, of course) that's about celebrities gossip: https://www.lipstickalley.com/forums/the-michael-jackson-forum.227/
    It gets kind of unbearable at times because it's mostly women bitching but there are some good threads and lots of information.

    I was watching a great interview to Greg Phillinganes yesterday, from 2021, in which he talked about Behind The Mask



    I love that song ever since it came out on the Michael album. But getting the og demo will be even better.
    MJ's vocals in that era were just out of this world.

    Nah, I think Best of Joy was written by Rod Temperton some time before MJ passed away.

    Fun fact: There was actually a third verse but it was cut because Rod bitched about the publishing or so.

    Yeah I don't think The Toy is Best Of Joy.

    And also true, a lot of people who worked with MJ started suing or threatening about different rights to his music after his passing. I think even Paul Anka was salty and said somethings about the "This Is It" song they released along with the movie.

    People were speculating that The Toy is Best Of Joy demo. With a 3rd verse that wasn’t approved for the Michael album. And some different lyrics (allegedly “I am the toy, I am your boy”)

    Anyway if it turns out to be a complete new track I'll be happy. It's been a while since we got new MJ content.
