I agree, I thought that there a couple CD releases of Thriller that I kinda figured couldn't get any better, but I'm also hoping to be pleasantly surprised. I'm also a big Metallica fan, and the remasters they put out of each one of their albums so far over the last few years is INSANE compared to the previous releases. There's stuff in the background I've never noticed before, and I've heard each album a bajillion times just like Thriller on good systems, crap systems, and headphones. I'm hoping for that level of wow-ness with Thriller!
