Invincible - Michael Jackson

The first thing that went through my mind when I heard the very first song: Why was You Rock My World released instead of this? The same question popped into my many times while I listened to every song, but I still can't figure out why. Invincible starts off with a sharp, hard-hitting powerful song going by the name Unbreakable. From there the album takes some twists and turns, both good and bad. The good twists are very, very good. The bad turns aren't very, very bad, but they should have been very, very good, but they aren't, unfortunately. I guess I'll use the method adapted by the other reviewers and list the songs going from one to sixteen (yes, it is ...  Read the complete review

**Introduction** Michael Jackson has become a lot like Marmite with many people around the world over the last few years. Some either Hate him or Like me Love him. (Or rather his Musical legacy). With all the bad press I thought we should focus on something positive and With his huge upcoming stand at London's 02 Arena coming up I thought it was time to review the album that is freshest in the memory of Michael Jackson fans and that album is of course his 2001 album Invincible. **Invincible** It's been eight years since Michael Jackson released this album and that makes his previous gaps between albums seem like an artist who releases ...  Read the complete review

So, after a long wait, Michael Jackson released in 2001 what was to be his final album containing new material. In my opinion, Invincible is his weakest album to date as Jackson writes barely any of the songs and he tries to pander to current music trends rather than doing what he does best. Nevertheless, when one considers that the album has sold over ten million copies to date without the usual sleuth of music videos, singles, tours and promotion which is usually help his record-breaking sales (thanks to a fallout between Jackson and Sony), he must have still done something right. The first track, true to form, is a song about how Jackson is back to the ...  Read the complete review

In 2001 came the final album of brand new material from the late great 'King Of Pop' Michael Jackson as he released "Invincible". It gets the artist continuing once more to progress with the time (after a couple of albums filled with Hip Hop-inspired tunes) this one has him trying out the popular R&B style of this time. It was a big return for the artist (and were turn out to be his last). 1. "Unbreakable" Getting the album going here, you have a posthumous appearance from The Notorious B.I.G> (who was featured on the album prior to this in 1995). You find that in this cut you find that immeditaly you are drawn in by a ...  Read the complete review

Many slated this album. Panned it. Even Jackson felt disappointed by its sales because of the way he felt Sony advertised it. 10 Million copies were sold Worldwide, but this album was deserving of so much more. Jackson found that when it came to the licenses of his own Albums, which were supposed to revert back to him around the time this album was released, actually werent going to come back to him for some time. This is down, partly, to his Lawyer, who was representing him and Sony, which created somewhat of a Conflict of Interest, and ultimately resulted in a Cut-and-Run ability for Jackson, because Sony had broke the terms of his ...  Read the complete review
