Advantages: A good range, still holds the crown, pssh 10x platinum! Disadvantages: A bit to much of a good range, broken away with mainstream more.

A ... ...at the launch of the album, there were a limited amount of Invincible albums released with a coloured sleeve and are regarded as collectables - the grey/silver one is the standard.

The King and I Review ofInvincible - Michael Jacksonby
Lovin_Angel
Advantages: It is Michael Jackson! Disadvantages: Please see op!
...second I found out that Invincible was being released, I rushed to my nearest HMV and pre-booked a copy so that the day it came out I would have my copy ready and waiting (I did warn you!). I have a lot of experience as someone who loves the King, as I have albums starting from Music & Me 1973, up to HIStory and Blood on the dancefloor, plus all his videos and a live performance at Wembley Stadium in July 1997 on his HIStory tour (once again, I did ... ...I liked. 8/10
3) Invincible – The track the album is named after. Quite unusual to have this track as number 3 as usually the title track is the track that is number 1 and leads you into the album. This one lasts for 4.45 minutes so they get shorter! Once again there is a rap performed by Fats and it is rather catchy. It is about a girl who is ‘Invincible’. Unfortunately and it pains me to say this but this is similar to the first ...

Invincible? Review ofInvincible - Michael Jacksonby
mitchec
Advantages: More up to date than his previous work. Disadvantages: Inconsistent
Ok so this album was panned by critics worldwide, why? because it's MJ of course, unless he's releasing songs the quality of "Billie Jean" or "Beat It" people don't want to know. I want to write a review based on THIS album, not previous ones as other critics do. Track 1- Unbreakable
Not the best song on the album by far. MJ tries to attract the younger crowd by adding a rap interlude wtih The Notorious BIG but fails due to the repetative beat on ... ...is ok but the constant repetative beat in the background means this song is anything but unbreakable. 6/10
Track 2 - Heartbreaker
Better. This is a more mordern sounding beat which anyone who know's there music will instantly link with Rodney "Darkchild" jerkins. Fantastic ending to the song and MJ's vocal's sound fresher than ever. Again not the best on this album but better than unbreakable. 7/10
Track 3 - Invincible
Another up tempo track ...

MJ Goes.. Street Review ofInvincible - Michael Jacksonby
darkchild_ie
Advantages: Lyrics, melodies and production Disadvantages: "The Lost Children" . blurg.
...about that one. Invincible contains some really innovative, totally modern tracks with superb production. “Unbreakable” has an incredibly catchy beat, great melody and a rap by the late Notorious B.I.G. “Heartbreaker” is very fast, futuristic, has a great chorus and will definitely surprise you when you hear it. “2000 Watts” is probably the least “Michael Jackson” song you will ever hear. Yes, dear reader, his voice has finally broken. You know, ... ...head bopping and your toes tapping without you knowing?? You will find that happening for all of the last three tracks. Another modern RnB track is the first single “You Rock My World” which has production like Toni Braxton’s “He Wasn’t Man Enough For Me” and a great catchy chorus. The downside to the Michael’s latest affair with RnB is the title track “Invincible”. If the song were under three minutes long instead of almost five, it would be so ...

Advantages: Mindblowing ballads Disadvantages: Boring repetitive pop tracks
Ordering Invincible from Amazon.co.uk on Sunday, I got it Tuesday morning, a mere £5.85 thanks to a free voucher. £5.85 for 16 songs. (Not 16 tracks, new albums tend to show 16-18 tracks, some are like 5 seconds long). £5.85 for 77 minutes of quality music.
Track by track guide:
1. UNBREAKABLE (6 MINS 25) 4/10
Hardly the best way to start an album. A quirky repetitive jazz-pop piano riff, very mediocre indeed. A very "typical" pop track, and I ... ...this fine.
3. INVINCIBLE (4.45) 4/10
Does not really live up to its name. YET AGAIN theres a quirky, annoying background track and the lyrics and singing is far from perfect too. Jacko is straining to reach some of the notes and this too is very mediocre.
4. BREAK OF DAWN (5.32) 10/10
A nice powerful introduction, just pure magic. Acoustic guitar melodies, and the sound of birds in the background. Through the song a nice soothing background tracking ...
