Invincible - Michael Jackson > Reviews

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: A few hold it back

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 ... Read review

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 ... Read review

Advantages: Lyrics, melodies and production
Disadvantages: "The Lost Children" . blurg.

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 ... Read review

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, ... Read review

Advantages: Okay not breakthroughs though
Disadvantages: Some not so good tracks

After ten years Michael Jackson has blessed us (if you like his music that is) with another album. This is in celebration of his thirty years in the singing business. From the Jackson five (remember little Michael?) up to now I have liked his music, not an ardent fan admittedly, but nevertheless I still enjoy it. I recall like yesterday the little brown boy singing lead in the family groups of five. But somewhere over the years, the little brown ... Read review

Advantages: Lots of dance tracks
Disadvantages: Mediocre singing and it's not really a pop album

This album was released in 2001 and I've decided to review it now as it's taken a long time to grow on me. I bought this album on vinyl for £13 in Virgin and I got the CD for only £2 in Music Zone. It wasn't available on cassette, somewhat disappointingly but there were 5 different coloured CD covers available. If Michael Jackson had repeated his older work entirely he'd get accused of being stuck in a time warp, and if he'd done a wildly different ... Read review

Tonight's story is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction If I saw you in heaven Would it be the same If I saw you in heaven I must be strong And carry on Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven As time goes by you'll come to see That you don't need no one but me Give you everything you need Even get down on my knees Just as long as you believe Be with me and you'll succeed Tunnel Is just the freight train coming your way...... It's coming your way It's coming your way...... Here comes Yeah, Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of Your Tunnel

Advantages: Some of Michael jackson's best songs
Disadvantages: too long, and too many tracks that could have been left off

Butterflies, whatever happens, speechless, you rock my world, unbreakable, break of dawn and heartbreaker are great songs with fantastic beats and give you a taster of the vocal abilities of jackson. But there are other songs that are suited to different audiences. for example 2000 watts...you either love it or you hate it. It is a song showing mj with a very strong and rough voice but The song is too loud and fast and can get annoying. The ... Read review

Advantages: Good range of styles, few strong tracks.
Disadvantages: Loses momentum.

...fired up generation. In conclusion, Invincible certainly isn't anything to hype up but if you're an avid Michael Jackson fan, then it's worth buying. Personally I regret paying 16 quid for it. ... Read review

Advantages: Great,Upbeat,R&B Songs, Nice slow songs
Disadvantages: 2000 WATTS

I was so happy when my friend bought me this cd for my birthday. I listened to it all of the way through. I liked all of the songs on it, except "2000 Watts". That song barely has him in it. I wanted to hear him, not Tyrese. And on top of that, the lyrics are pretty stupid. All of the other songs seem great. I like the fact that when you are listening to it, you never feel like it sounds like the song before it. Also, people say that Michael is old ... Read review
