Michael Jackson initially upset with sound of iconic album Thriller

Michael Jackson was initially disappointed with the sound of his iconic album "Thriller." Producer Quincy Jones revealed that during the first listen, Jackson cried because the album sounded terrible, despite their hard work and tight schedule. After the disappointing first listen, Jackson and Jones spent several days fixing the album. They reshaped it by mixing one song a day, cutting parts from songs, and shortening intros to improve the overall sound. The success of "Thriller" was later boosted by MTV, which played Jackson's videos extensively. This exposure helped make him the biggest artist of the decade, marking a significant moment in music history.
