Michael Jackson - Human Nature : C/D?

what the demo is missing is the 16th note riff thing. that's practically what makes the track. and it's such a toto/porcaro kind of thing that I'm surprised it's not there!

this takes a while to kick into gear but once it days

Not as good as Baby Be Mine

This is exactly the sort of thing I'd say (because I believe it) right before telling myself to just shut up.

I'd tell myself to shut up before believing that.

Also worth noting that Quincy called in John Bettis to rewrite the lyrics.

such a fantastic track. one of those that I can still listen to with pleasure and wonderment on Thriller (which was the biggest thing in my life as a kid !).
together with "startin' somethin'", "baby be mine", "PYT" and "lady in my life"... well, that's still more than half of the album actually !
thinking of it, the closest thing to a dud on the album is "the girl is mine". and that's mainly because of the silly collab. cos the basic track and groove are great.

the Toto demo is very detailed. I could have easily imagined only basic guitar or piano chords with some humming of the melody, like many demos.

I've been listening to the Easy Star All stars version of Thrillah lately and it's really grown on me.
