...This truely is one of the greatest albums from one of the greatest idols in music history. For me Michael Jackson is still head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to music, especially pop. Even if you aren't his biggest fan there is sure to be a track that you'll enjoy or that will warm your heart from this double disc set. This was Michael Jackson's fifth solo album released in 1995. It contains 15 new songs and 15 of his greatest hits. The CD's come in a double CD case which is connected and each CD comes with its own booklet containing pictures, track information and Michael Jackson's success's and thank you's to his closest friends. Each are very well presented. Album Information Artist: Michael Jackson Produced By: Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, David Foster, R. Kelly, Dallas Austin, Bill Bottrell... Read review

Advantages: Every Song is Fantastic
Disadvantages: Absolutely Flawless Album

...you make me feel" - Such a fantastic Michael Jackson song. Its use of electronic beats plus orchestral instruments such as the trumpet create a piece of music like no other! One of my favourites "Speed demon" - A highlight of Michael Jackson's feature film 'Moonwalker', a catchy rythm and trademark MJ sounds such as "Aaow"! This is another of my favourite tracks he has produced. "Liberian girl" - A tropical blend of carrabean beats and western lyrics give the song a fantastic edge. Michael's voice is fantastic in this tune. "Just good friends" - Well, a funky, fast ride with my two favourite artists of all time, Stevie Wonder and MJ. What a tune, i recommend this song to anyone wanted to sample the album before buying it. "Another part of me" - Probably my highlight of the album. Soulful and funky, a fun tune to listen...

...6 years, 4 months and 13 days I waited. Waited for what you may ask??? For this album to be released of course!! That was the length of time between 1995’s “HIStory – Past, Present & Future, Book 1” and this, 2001’s “Invincible”. My God! I spend my entire teenaged life waiting for a shiny plastic disc! Madness!! OK, I did a whole lot of other things in this time – eating, breathing and sleeping come to mind – but I still waited. I give over large quantities of whatever cash I can get my hands on to the shiny happy people in HMV so that I can fill up every void in my bedroom with these shiny plastic discs. And it is all down to Michael Jackson. His music has touched me like no other. From the exultant pop tunes; to the one’s where he cries at the end and the perfectly simplistic numbers; to the multi-laired innovative songs, I love... Read review
