Nobody could have prepared anybody for the success of Thriller, since the magnitude of its success was simply unimaginable - an album that sold 40 million copies in its initial chart run, with seven of its nine tracks reaching the Top Ten (for the record, the terrific “Baby Be Mine” and the pretty good ballad “The Lady in My Life” are not like the others). Off the Wall was a massive success, spawning four Top Ten hits (two of them number ones), but nothing could have prepared Michael Jackson for Thriller.

“Morphine” is tough and edgy and even more frightening in light of the circumstances surrounding his death. It’s a shame, since Jackson shows no letup in intensity here. However, this only served to confuse the non-fanatic portion of Jackson’s audience further.
So Jackson went back into the studio and remixed eight of the songs and added five new tracks. The reasons were many, but the pairing of new material with an album of greatest hits had blunted the public’s perception of the set as a new release. Michael Jackson’s 1995 double album HIStory didn’t reach the level of market saturation that the self-proclaimed King of Pop expected from himself.
