How about the songs mentioned by Michael on the Mexico deposition that date back to the Thriller sessions?
To my knowledge, most of those titles were never definitively linked to the Thriller sessions; it was all speculation and rumors. Those that were linked have already either been released or leaked, with the exception of “Rolling the Dice.”
...which is why they were never released, not even as b-sides???Just listened to Got The Hots for the first time in ages...how was that ever considered strong enough to make the album?
Between, She's Trouble, Niteline, Got The Hots. Thriller has some of the weakest outtakes from any MJ album. How did Quincy listen to hundreds of songs supposedly, and think these were strong enough to record
Yet Quincy is credited for quality control on Mike's albums
Thats not gonna happen we will only hear the toy
Quincy and Rod both get way more credit for these albums than they deserve. Hugely talented no doubt, but the strongest material always came from MJ.Just listened to Got The Hots for the first time in ages...how was that ever considered strong enough to make the album?

I don't think that we'll get another unreleased/unleaked song tbh
Why Can't I Be. That seems to have been recorded. Nymphette Lover? Not much is known about that one.

By “90% of the world” you mean the hardcore fan base that this is aimed towards that will stand for the majority of sales for this release?
Then the flip side of this coin is that it will be the estate’s fault when it doesn’t sell as good as it could because many fans aren’t interested in buying or hearing songs they already bought before.
My man, I remember saying this years ago. The thriller outtakes are simply too weak for Michael Jackson standards. I don’t even understand why they entertained, and recorded these songs in the first place. They could have saved a lot of money and time.Just listened to Got The Hots for the first time in ages...how was that ever considered strong enough to make the album?

A lot of people honestly overestimate how many leaked songs will be on Thriller. Out of the ten tracks coming to the bonus disc, around six will have been songs we've heard before, not counting the two early versions of already-released songs. Let's be honest, there's two more slots for unleaked songs, so let's be paitent.
Isn't it on Spotify, on itunes or on (legal) Youtube for anybody to hear/buy legally?
Is it aimed at the hardcore fan base? The people who have been vocal about their exhaustion of Thriller and their desire for brand-new, unheard tracks? Or is it aimed at the general public, most of whom have no clue this even exists and would thus benefit from a project that includes EVERY outtake from the era?
I don't see the casuals buying this CD, only streaming it. It'll be us to buy it physically.
That’s how it is for every album nowadays: dedicated fans buy the physical copies, casual listeners stream.
They didn't have a lot of time to record the album.
Most anniversary releases are almost always aimed at the hardcore fan base. Of course, as with almost all releases, there is also incentive to get casual listeners to listen and buy it but they will never be the target audience. I mean just look at the way they are going about promoting the track list etc . That is clearly, imo, trying to appeal to the hardcore fan base. Bad25 was also target towards the hardcore fan base but at least with Bad we got unheard songs even though it didn’t sell quite that well.
