I love how in Thriller's wake these star albums became hit machines: Suddenly, Colour by Numbers, Eliminator, An Innocent Man.
We should poll those mini-Thrillers imo.

such a massive album, so many great jams, but the syncopation of the melody's rhythm in "jump" has been slaying me dead for decades, so "jump" it is

Also, as I'm sure I've said four times on ILX already, probably my favorite middle 8 of any pop song.

Voted Automatic because it’s my personal fave but have very fun memories of going to a Marshall’s store and seeing the ladies in the lingerie section start singing and get way into Jump when it came on the loudspeakers. Jump! For my love!

Ruth Pointer's android voice figuring out how to sing, "All I can manage to push from my lips/Is a stream of absurdities."
As a kid, when Automatic was current, I thought she was singing "a stream of obscenities". Which seemed pretty edgy to me.

was looking around for pictures of them in roller skates. i remember reading somewhere that they used to perform in '40s / '50s attire and go on stage in skates ? like a band was opening for them at the whiskey a-go go and it was in a memoir but i can't recall who it was and there don't appear to be any pictures of them in roller skates. but i did find this.
