Aren't I the Org's Jacksonologist? You know I'm right!

They've been out in HMV in the UK since the beginning of this month. They're even in the 2 for £10 deal.

Anyone who considers themself a bit of an audiophile wish to comment on the sound of the remasters?

Well it's a vast improvement. There are lots of extra adlibs and things you can hear especially on Triumph compared to the old versions. Destiny sounds more organic than Triumph, still not top quality although a huge improvement on the old ones.

I can't imagine why anyone would tout a remastered LOSSY format. Better to buy the CD and rip it yourself ... at least you would then have a lossless original to fall back on.

I don't see the remaster on the U.S. iTunes anyway. I only see the old Destiny album there without the bonus tracks.

And you were! I went to Circuit City tonight and sure enough, it was there and I got it! I heard some songs and they sound so good! I'm glad someone created this thread!

What's the extra track on the destiny disc?

"That's What You Get For Being A Pansy"

"Blame It On The Boogie" (John Luongo Disco Mix)
"Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)" (John Luongo Disco Mix)"

I have to buy these. Usually we only get new stuff here in portugal...months after their release!

I really wish they had put on an extended version of That's What You Get For Being Polite

bboy87 said:

There's an extended version for That's What You Get...? Get the hell outta here! I need to hear this!

Cinnie said:

Bitch!

purplecam - I've never heard of there being an extended version of "That's What You Get..." It wasn't even released as a single.

BTW, I consider myself to be the web's premiere Jacksoncologist. I study my Thriller album every night and go to bed with "Billie Jean" playing in my head. I wake up to "Human Nature" on my alarm clock and take a shit to "The Girl Is Mine" in the morning.

Thriller does a body good!

purplecam said:

They could make one. I hate when Michael is going to the ad-libs "Don'tcha know!" and then it fades out!

All they gotta do is take the mastertapes and keep the song running maybe 2 minutes more

I took your spot, so step down

Just picked of Triumph today will get Destiny next week. The bonus tracks for Destiny should have been Randy's single How Can I Be Sure.

amit1234 said:

Boy, you ain't been the "Jacksoncologist" since bboy came. You've fallen off, nucca.

Picked up my copy of Destiny 2 hours ago and just uploaded it on my iPod...



my BRAND NEW iPOD!!!!!

bboy87 said:

I wonder what they want to include on it? If it's a 2-CD set filled with outtakes,alternate versions,and 12" extended versions,it could be cool.But if it's gonna have a second disc featuring re-recorded songs with guest rappers and nonsense like that,I'll pass

"Rock With You" featuring 50 Cent
"I Can't Help It" featuring Chris Brown

SoulAlive said:

rather hear a few unreleased songs, but since Michael won't be involved it's gonna be crap. Hope no remixes or guest stars, like the above. Blah.

NMusiqNSoul said:

Yeah,I hate when record labels try to "update" old songs,with new remixes and guest rappers.I didn't even buy that 'Thriller' 25th anniversary mess.Fergie appears on it,singing "Beat It" That is NOT the way you celebrate a classic album!

bboy87 said:

so you bought a brand new ipod strictly because of these Jacksons remasters?

Are those bonus tracks the original 12 Inches that were recorded back in the day or new remixes of the songs? If they are the originals, I'll be buying it. If they are new remixes, they stay in the store and collect dust.

Also, what are the bonus tracks on "Triumph"?

It's the B Side of the "Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)" 45.

vainandy said:

the bonus tracks on 'Triumph' are...

"This Place Hotel" (single version)
"Walk Right Now" (John Luongo Disco Mix)
"Walk Right Now" (John Luongo instrumental Mix)

I haven't even gotten to the remixes yet,so I don't know if they're newly recorded or not.Since the word "disco" is used,I'm gonna assume these remixes are from back in the day

SoulAlive said:

They are. Nothing new or contemporary with these remixes. They sound GREAT! I can't stop listening to it, it's been so much fun playing Destiny and Triumph with these new remasters.

SoulAlive said:

Nah, I bought another one because my old one got stolen last week

But The Jacksons remasters make me feel a little better
