I really want to know who sequenced Thriller and what flavor of crack they were smoking when they did it. I mean, seriously. Wanna Be Starting Something is a good, if obvious, way to start (imagine how much more compelling Beat It would be as an opener with the gong and such a clear break from Off The Wall’s disco), but then, on a record that has both Billie Jean and Beat It, they put Baby Be Mine second? Seriously? Seriously? Maybe the most forgettable song on a record that had what 4? 5? number one singles. Any child can tell that Billie Jean should be the second song on this record.

Also, I understand that The Girl Is Mine was supposed to be the breakout single, what with having Sir Paul and all, but it’s really a pretty lame piece of fluff to have in that spot. It wouldn’t be quite so badly setup for failure sitting somewhere in the middle of the second side.

Finally, Thriller is so obviously a last track. How do you follow that? Once you go off into that weird zombie world, there should be no coming back. And the Vincent Price cackle is such a great last note.

It’s truly amazing that a record with such impossibly strong material could be such a wreck in this regard. I guess they really just were thinking of these as singles that happen to have to be thrown together onto a record. I’d be totally cool with that if I wasn’t totally sure that someone got paid a lot of money and spent a lot of time to come up with the utter farce that is this sequence.

“The theory is that since we are highly practiced in the art of facial recognition, and can discern minute variations in features and expression, perhaps encoding data in a likeness of a human face would reveal things that, say, a bar graph wouldn’t. And reading the diagram would, ideally, be as natural as interpreting the face of your best friend. As an example, here are some team statistics from the 2005 baseball season represented in a table and then as a series of Chernoff Faces:

win pct
face height, smile curve, hair styling
hits
face width, eye height, nose height
home runs
face shape, eye width, nose width
walks
mouth height, hair height, ear width
stolen bases
mouth width, hair width, ear height”

What’s the Matter With Chernoff Faces?
